  • Sounds fine to me lol. I usually go for the big breakfast though lol. I need to eat more to bulk and breakfast is usually my biggest meal of the day. I have: 3 or 4 whole eggs either scrambled or omelette. Homemade hashbrown which is just grated potato, egg yolk and fried in a little bit of extra virgin olive oil. 2 links…
  • I make scrambled egg and it takes less time to cook that boiled eggs would. I have 3 eggs a day, sometimes 4 though. Scrambled them and they are done within 5 minutes. I also add a drop of skimmed milk to make them fluffy. Have it on wholewheat toast, some beans. They all take less than 10 minutes to cook and it tastes…
  • One thing might work for one person, but it might not work for someone else. I'm currently at 127lb, I was 124lb. I am trying to gain weight for bulking up and then I will cut to lower my body fat and still lift. My TDEE was apparently only 1800 calories, I decided to up my calories to 2000 and wasn't gaining. I upped it…
  • Well I still live with my parents and siblings, so I don't go out and buy it, my mom is the one that does the shopping, I just tell her what I am running low on. Got veggies in two drawers at the bottom. A box full of veggies just above it. Mushrooms next to it. More veggies, maybe a whole raw chicken there, pork loin,…
  • Try making more home made meals. I don't really know what the Spinach and Ricotta bake looks like, but you could easily make a crustless quiche and fill it with veggies, chicken, etc. It will have less carbs, more protein and you know exactly what goes in it. Try to stick to lean meats like chicken, lean ground turkey,…
  • Like jojo said, you aren't eating enough. You will surprised at how much you might be able to eat and still lose weight. I am currently in the process of bulking, so I need to get enough calories to feed my muscles and put on weight. I was eating like 2300 calories which is above my TDEE and lost a pound and still had to…
  • I have 3 whole eggs every morning and have done for over a year. Sometimes it's 2 or 4, add a little skimmed milk and it's nice and fluffy. I usually have it scrambled or I make an omelette and add bell peppers, onions and mushrooms. I usually have reduced salt and sugar baked beans, turkey sausage and either some trimmed…
  • My fat goal is 102g, I usually get about 90g which are from olive oil, eggs, turkey sausage, a few treats, cheese, peanut butter and other meats. You need fat, just like you need protein and carbs.
  • 3 eggs a day for me, so that's 21 eggs a week :D Great protein and fat source. Have them every morning either scrambled or I make an Omelette.
  • I consume around 200g of protein. I'm looking to bulk up a bit more and I'm only 125lb lol. I've not had any problems with this much protein. I eat enough food, I drink enough water and I lift weights. Looking to increase my weight to 130lb or 145lb depending on how I look and then cut a bit more.
  • 2630. Been figuring out how to build muscle and burn fat, but I decided to bulk and cut to see how it goes. Currently lifting. My TDEE at my age, height and weight is only like 1870. I don't weigh a lot, so I need to put on the weight lol.
  • I used to have oatmeal, but it just doesn't have enough protein for me. Because I am also eating a lot more now, I have to increase the sizes of all my meals. So I've had to go from like 400 calorie breakfasts and boosted it up to 700+ calories.
  • One thing I don't understand is how hypocritical some people on here are. They talk about how fast food is bad, processed food is bad, carbs are bad, aspartame is bad, saturated fat is bad, sugar is bad, sodium is bad, yet there must be a reason they are on here in the first place. Wasn't it because you were or still are…

  • Dorito's and a soda O.o Pretty sure I could get more nutrition out of a McDonalds Hamburger then a bag of doritos. Where's the protein? For those of you who eat doritos, don't take this seriously and replace your doritos with a hamburger lol.

  • I guess when some people are eating it quite often, they are used to the taste. Not all fast foods taste bad, but in the last few years or so, McDonalds food has become quite dry... It used to be really juicy, but it's really dry now. I haven't had a McDonalds in probably over a year or something.

  • Sometimes 3, 4, 5 or 6 times a day. 3 proper meals which can be around 600 to 700 calories and 1 to 3 snacks which are from 100 to 300 calories each.
  • I read that you lose a lot of the vitamins, minerals and fiber by consuming fruit and veggies in liquid form.
  • If you're body can't handle yogurt, don't eat it O.o Just stick to a healthy diet of lean meats, veggies and complex carbs. Stay within your calorie goal at a healthy deficit and the weight will come off. It's like why do people want to force themselves to eat food that they don't like? I know I wouldn't because it would…
  • We have a roast dinner twice a week, but I don't have what everyone else has on there plates lol. I used to have yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, potato croquettes, meat with all the fat, mashed potato with a ton of butter. Now I have eliminated the yorkshire puddings because of the carbs and sodium, the roast potatoes…
  • Sometimes giving up this perk might be the way to go. Pretty sure you get these same sort of perks at fast food restaurants and you wouldn't eat there everyday lol, I know I wouldn't. I am pretty sure that a restaurant would at least have one salad dish. If not, you might just have to bring your own food in. Don't go for…
  • Ok I calculated your TDEE for sedentary and it's 1919 calories if you were to sit at a desk all day and only get up for food, drinks, toilet, or whatever. I find it easier to set it like this and then input your exercise manually. So underestimate the HRM by like 20% or something. Eat at a deficit of 250 calories and eat…
  • Why don't you try adding a bit more to each meal?? Say you have a pasta dish one day, try adding an extra 50g of meat, the sauce, some extra pasta, etc. if you add bits to each meal throughout the day you will notice you will be closer to your goal. Don't always rely on a shake or anything that's just liquid. Have some…
  • Chicken actually doesn't take that long to cook. I season mine with Marjoram and wrap it tin foil. I just keep an eye on it. After like 20 minutes or so, I stab it in the middle, making sure it's the plumpest part and see if it's pink. If I can't see it very well, I just cut it in half. My chicken comes out moist and soft…
  • Xbox 360: Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD PS3: Agarest Generations of War I will be playing Dark Souls as well on the 360, never got around to getting past the second checkpoint lol, so I need to go back and at least get half way or something. The drought is almost over...
  • I wouldn't recommend living on like a liquid diet or anything lol. You just aren't going to get the right nutrients or hit your macros properly doing this. They usually low in calories as well, so it would be hard to reach your goal, unless you survived on fruit juice, but even then, you might as well be drinking regular…
  • I would say 80% of my liquids was either diet fizzy drinks or sugar free squash. I now drink like water like 98% of the time. If I fancy something fizzy, I will get a diet pepsi, dandelion & burdock or something else. You only live once and having something like a diet pepsi every once in a while isn't going to kill you. I…
  • Food? Pretty sure calories are a unit of energy, so try eating a snack like 30 minutes before a workout or something >.<
  • I'm currently at 35/30/35 (C/P/F). It's pretty easy and I usually go over on my protein anyway. I don't see this as a problem to be honest. Protein tends to keep me fuller for longer. To be honest, I don't think I could manage eating so many carbs in a day lol.
  • I've never had dental surgery where I was not supposed to eat properly for weeks lol. Only had like no eating for the first hour or two, but that's about it. Just don't do anything that will burn so many calories lol. You will need whatever energy you need to keep yourself going until you are allowed to eat solids and…
  • Sadly, I haven't played a RB game yet. I was more of a GH player. I will probably be getting RB 3 this year because I am really liking the list of DLC songs. If RB and GH play the same, I will probably be on Expert, Guitar :D Will have to get into the groove of things again once I get it, but add me anyway and can set up a…
