If you are already tracking calories, you might as well track carbs as well. Its a macronutrient which is just as important as protein and fat. In this case, the more information you have, the better

Try this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhDsCNujCfE

In the time most people take to read the OP article, I will have completed 1000 pushups :)

Fruit?

Only you can determine if you need a rest day. Some people are fine doing HIIT multiple days in a row.

I don't think two lifting sessions would produce a dramatic effect where your clothes would be loose. The only way to know for sure is taking measurements every week. Keep lifting though, it's definetly helping!

I've had a similar pain in my collar bone when shoulder pressing. It could be caused to an increased load for which our body isn't quite ready. You could try slightly changing your form by bringing your elbows in alittle closer to your sides which will put more stress on the triceps and less on the shoulder / collar area.…

Don't think of a protein shake as a supplement, consider it a food source. They are a convenient way to add a high-protein food to your diet

Your body can get pretty comfortable at certain weight if you stick with the same diet and exercise. I would suggest trying acouple high intensity cardio workouts to shock the system. Didn't look at your diary but change up your foods every day and stay at the same calories, your body will tend to react differently.

It will have a minimal effect if any. But with proper diet and exercise, all of the little things add up over time. Can't hurt, but I'm not convinced its worth buying

One of the great things about HIIT is the extended calorie burn over time. Its hard to log it and get an exact number because your body will burn calories even after your workout

For beginners, don't worry about bulking/cutting. Just Lift heavy and eat when your hungry and you will see good results. However, you will eventually get to a point where that is no longer effective and your results will slow down/stop. At this point in time, in order to put on actual muscle..you must eat alittle more…

1. Move More 2. Eat the same 3. Pick things up and put them down

Theres no set amount of days you should do cardio, it's great for your overall health. Always go by feel when it comes to rest. As long as you don't feel burnt out you should continue to do it. When trying to lose weight, I've had success with 4 HIIT days and 1 steady state day.

Not all bars are created equal. While there are a few I would consider, they just seem to be a more expensive version of protein powder imo. As long as you have the calories factored in, you can eat as many as you want (I'm assuming you like them lol).

From the Home screen click "goals" then "edit goals"

Could not be further from the truth. People tend to cut down carbs before a competition just as a final touch and to avoid some water retention. The lower BF% you have, the MORE carbs you can eat without gaining fat. Many people have visible abs year-round while eating plenty of carbs

I agree that nuts are over-rated as a protein source, but they definetly are not over-rated in general.

Yea I wouldn't trust the numbers machines give you. Then again, I don't trust HRMs either haha

I would go with a banana dipped in 2 Tbsp. of peanut butter for sure

I do Old Fashioned oatmeal with a scoop of cinnabun protein every morning

Pretty good starting point! Theres no set number thats good or bad, it all comes down to how hard you pushed yourself. Your goal each time should just be to beat your previous time. I think striving for 5 additional seconds every time is realistic

I dont think theres any reason to log that. Just eat your normal amount of calories and reap the benefits of being slightly more active

Im more qualified then a vast majority of people on changing my brake pads...doesn't mean you want me underneath your car.

I wouldn't suggest taking advice from scooby

The only real "food plan" I do is switching up the time of day I have my big meals. So throughout the week my large meal will alternate between breakfast, lunch and dinner, ending up at around the same daily calorie total. I also do low-carb on Mondays

I like Amino X as well, think I use the watermelon flavor though

Truetein Cinnabun is amazing with water. I think they sell small samples if you want to try it

You can have a "poor diet" and still only be in a small surplus which is easily turned into a deficit by exercise. My point was not to encourage bad eating, but to say that even if you don't eat the ideal "healthy" food or amount of calories...hard work can more then make up for it. Obviously diet is an easier method of…
