I mean if I were to pick a fruit that would be of lesser value to cut out it would be fruits with lower micronutrient content and less fiber such as grapes or watermelon.. I mean both those fruits have micros and fiber but I would think it would be more optimal to eat berries, apples, bananas, oranges.

if you are trying to gain weight why are you cutting sugar? you aren't eating enough its as simple as that..

lose body fat and your legs will look a lot better especially if you have a solid leg building program.. its about getting leaner if you want defined legs.

no you just need to eat less overall.. or create a bigger energy deficit

with strength comes muscular hypertrophy.. the nervous system can only adapt so much before you NEED to gain muscle in order to have strength gains.

p90x is a fat loss program.. not sure what p90x3 is but im sure its along the same guidelines... if u want to gain muscle you gotta slow down that cardio nonsense, eat, and lift heavy weights via compound movements (especially if you are out of the beginner range of working out)

ur body is going to count it, whether you do on MFP or not

yea but that's expensive as f-ck if all you need to eat is rice instead of chicken

sounds like you bought into the marketing ploy... im pretty sure its going to do the same as eating 6 meals a day. understood if it helps you eat in a deficit with greater ease but to have benefits like more strength?? I call BS

yea but.. why?

I understand if you eat less on days you don't train, but to over eat on one day then not eat or eat minimal on another day sets you up for an eating disorder does it not? especially messing up social life

why not eat every day? is there a supposed benefit to not eating a whole day?

that's an eating disorder waiting to happen..

500g of protein??? why?

one bad snatch and your life is ruined

its what happens when you lose weight.. the body is in a deficit it will cut down all extra movement in order to conserve (energy)calories.. this is why you need to cut calories slow and get lots of sleep whenever you are trying to lose weight

the body adapts very quickly especially if you do not have a lot of weight to lose it will resist getting leaner.. how I would go about it is cut roughly 100 calories a week at a time and see if I lose weight.. its tough to tell, but the slower you cut calories the more sustained weight loss you will have

that's what I do when I have early workouts.. eat them carbohydrates at night

too shy to ask them to use the equipment or how many sets they have left?.. or if you can work in?

yea hes going to f-ck himself up.. also having a weight loss competition is ridiculous anyone who knows anything about nutrition would frown upon a competition like that.. this isn't the biggest loser where you can lose like 10lbs a week, not everyone is 450lbs and has strict diet and training protocol

untrained muscles hold less water, when you start lifting muscles become filled with more glycogen (water in muscle) so its not anything out of the ordinary... I was injured and had to take two weeks off from the gym and I lost about 5lbs from NOT working out.. its intracellular water that will make you look better so…

lower body weight with a higher body fat %---( little muscle mass )

I think 185g protein is too much anyways especially for a woman... I would re-assess your numbers and ways to get more protein in your diet without fats would be lean meats (chicken, turkey, fish) or whey protein powder

once others see your results they want to hop on board.

it was meant to be (no,)... and why would I say something like that out of the blue talking about protein to glucose? I mean u should have read it right even without the comma instead of being like WRONGGGG

yea I think I just need to learn how to type

DUHHHHH im talking about performance in the gym and metabolic effects

that's exactly what I said....... putting it in laymans terms for the poster Glucose=Carbohydrates.... sooo Right*

why not popcorn without butter??? calories are calories but carbohydrates are the bodys prime source for energy so if you hit protein and fat goals for the day all the cals should be ideally from carbohydrates (also best for metabolism and performance) but eat whatever you want for caloric goals but the body is better off…

where you go wrong is not lifting weights/ resistance training
