People who don't think muscle weighs more than fat. It does in fact weigh more. If you take 1 cc of muscle and 1 cc of fat the muscle will weigh more thus per volume muscle does weigh more. If you do not realize this is what people mean then you are the one who doesnt get it.

Breakfast - Trader Joes 0% greek yogurt flavored either blueberry or pomegranite (has least fat and carbs of any greek yogurt ive found) Morning snack - carrots and peanutbutter or cliff bar or granola bar Lunch - grilled chicken (8-10 oz or so usually), some high fiber frozen green (Broccoli, spinach, or brussel sprouts)…

I would rent a van and drive around to playgrounds asking kids if they wanted your cookies.

single scoop protein shake and half a cliff bar

So I should stop drinking breast milk?

If you want success you need to dress for it

300mg is recommended daily allowance. It's just a guide as dietary cholesterol affects us in different ways. If you have familial high cholesterol then that may even be high. My family has no such problems so I eat whatever I want in that regard.

is 1200-1500 your net calories or total calories? Ie do you plan on eating back your exercises? If you plan on doing all of that exercise on 1200-1500 total callories I would strongly recomend against that, if 1200-1500 net calories ie eat 2100 burn 600 net calories 1500 then that might be a reasonable, but still low number

put Matlock or Murder She Wrote on the tv infront of the treadmill she will be totally entertained and not even realize she has been walking for an hour

I just log whatever the comparable thing is from a chain restaurant and estimate that almost every local restaurant will be cooked better for me with better ingrediants than the chain so if anything I overestimate and under eat

Protein shake if you cant eat it drink it...plus you have way too few g of protein...make a smoothie in morning real east to take with you and starts the day off with 400+ calories plus eggs for morning snack and you're already halfway there

I wiped my butt how many calories is that?

Its a sad reality that the Olympics has turned into money grab versus looking to keep pace with tradition and international "friendly" competition. Its obvious wrestling was not a big draw and they want to turn to some rediculous competition to try to create buzz...motocross here we come

Amen...sushi by its name requires a perfect blend of rice and vinegar to compliment typically a fish protein. To call this sushi is an insult to the years if not decades a true sushi chefs spends culitvating his craft. What you made is a Maki but by no means is it sushi

What is this sarcasm your speak of?

For the Win!!!

this sums it up...if you can manage portion control you can eat pretty much anything (food allergies asside) while still at a calorie deficate. Also isnt the Broccomoli just called broccoli dip?

I find the hardest part is just getting myself there.. once your their the rest is easy

I am thinking of starting the strong lift 5x5 routine any comments or suggestions?

Great, really appreciate the advise. I think I will start the 5x5 next monday as I want to start a clean week

I did not say I could not do a pull up. I cannot do more than 5 in any given set. Maybe I was not clear enough in my description. I use the assist cecreasing assist for sets 1-3 then doing set 4 on bodyweight only no assist. If you could provide a solution instead of just telling me I am doing it wrong that would always be…

"strength" is not necessarily my main goal. Main goal is to drop 10% in body fat and 20 lbs. I realize increased strenght will help me to achieve goals but I am not looking to become a power lifter just a sexy beast

The 5x5 work outs indicate calorie surplus for diet. wont that prevent me from droping weight?

Using the compound lifts what 3 day split would you all recomend?

I have decline incline and flat chest press. no benches. I want to get into squats and deadlifts but am very fearful of lower back problems

Why not Today?

try to avoid the processed sugar and when having simple sugars eat with protein, Ie, Apple with peanut butter. To much sugar alone will make you hungrier.

Thats the thing, the calories MFP estimates are the total calories burned during the time period, not the excess done by the activity. So if running burns 300 extra calories and your bmr is 200 that would indicate 500 calories burned during that time period. That being said i find that MFP is about 10% over what various…
