Good way of looking at it I guess.
-
Yep this is me also.
-
Protein and fats are more filling I guess so that probably explains why. Never thought about lowering carbs but you could be onto something. Yes I can relate totally to constantly thinking about food, Hell I've even had dreams about food. I've even had nights where I've had a binge on something, I wake up the next morning…
-
Yes ran it for 8 weeks, it's quite tough.
-
This makes a lot of sense, if I had to pick one thing that I think could be the issue it’s my strength. I’m not very strong as it’s something I never was interested in. Moving heavy weights nope, working the muscle and feeling da pomp as Arnie says yes.
-
Can you explain this more? I always thought calories give energy, I mean if cutting strength drops so it stands to reason eat more strength should go up?
-
I've never done any kind of strength program, always bodybuilding type routines, Upper Lower/PPL/Bro Split etc.
-
Yeah no point pissing on his parade
-
Yes, I've seen the stomach thing before, but the arms and shoulders are a different matter. Wonder should I call him out on it or should I let it go :wink: It's on a Facebook group I'm part of, no call to be putting topless pics up in that group so he obviously attention seeking, but the women in the group are going mad…

Interesting, I have some Piriton in the cupboard, It could be worth a try at least.
-
I’ll be honest to look good naked, I’ve damn all interest in how much I can lift or strength, I want to build muscle, always really worked in the hypertrophy range. Should mention on the sleep things it’s 3.50am and I’m awake.
-
My sleep is awful, I do not think I have ever slept a full night in my life. I fall over straight away but I wake very early, talking 3am early and unable to get back to sleep. Tried various pills and supplements for it, still wake early only I wake feeling half doped up. I’ve seen me going to bed at 1am and waking at…

5 days, I miss a leg day, once is enough, so I do that Mon-Fri take weekends off. 38 lifting almost 3 years but the first was really spent losing weight.
-
150-170g daily of protein. Programs, bigger leaner stronger, 5x5, PPL. PPL is my usual go to.
-
My walks runs, active mins, workouts, calories burned, sleep.

Connected GPS, it uses the phone's GPS, go into run cycle or walk it connects to the phone to map your route.
-
Yes you can.
-
I guess we're all different for me I started a bro split this year, I like it and am making better progress than I ever did on ppl or UL.
-
I've ditched the rice for potatoes, Frozen mash is a damn life saver to be honest and it tastes bloody amazing, I now look forward to my dinner each evening. 100g = 105 calories so much lower than rice.
-
I can eat anything, I'm not a fussy person, I might not like it but I can still eat it.
-
No. First 6 months, rest I maintained
-
The problem is a lot of foods give you the nutritional info but dont say if it's cooked or not. Potatoes are a prime example. As for rice I'm giving up on it, my only real reason for eating it was low calorie and now it's not, still can't believe I've been tracking that wrong for 3 years.
-
I think I'll go back to potatoes, I only ate rice as I thought it was low cal, are potatoes measured cooked or uncooked
-
Yes but this has annoyed me. Nearly all foods show as uncooked, why is rice different?
-
I now see my error, brown is coming as cooked white not cooked, I've now been under counting for years it seems
-
Ok this is a head *kitten* now. Here is a screen shot old Vs new https://imgur.com/a/IYLO7RJ I scanned from bar code
-
It can't be wrong, I've been eating various brands of brown rice almost daily for 3 years, I take 50g always under 100cals
-
Well I can only go by my numbers. But as you say sort of irrelevant, would be a different story if I wasn't maintaining or gaining when I didn't want to be. I probably do burn quite a few calories considering I clock up 12000 steps per day and work out 5 days per week but I don't burn 3331 calories as my Fitbit is…
-
I believe I do know what I am doing, Get food, Scan pack, check nutritional info for the match, put on the scale, log food. Where did I go wrong?
