Don't buy meals that are pre-made. Cook yourself.

Ridiculous. Soy is fine. It is a little harder for your body to digest, but it's not going to kill you.

Protein powder

Fruit has a ton of fructose (sugar), so yeah it's definitely not free. Always track everything, but you're not going to go super over by eating your veggies, they are incredibly filling.

Basically "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". SmartPowders is like 38 for 5 pounds (plus shipping, so lets say $45), Dymatize is about $45, Optimum Nutrition is about $55. So if you're paying significantly less than$7-10 a pound, be suspicious. Also, check and see who your protein is made by. For example,…

This is the best way to add a lot of sugar to your shake and make it unhealthy.

Lactose free milk and a banana or some strawberries.

Ridiculous. Shakes can be used as a meal replacement and they are quite filling. For those curious about protein content of different brands. "Body Fortress" (WalMart brand) was measured at 53% of it's advertised protein content.…

"Isolate" is good for everyone. Pure Protein is crap. Has about 50% of the advertised protein. Typical Walmart quality.

No. If you live in Texas you can get it at HEB. Other than that, there is Amazon and SmartPowders I would only suggest one of three brands: Optimum Nutrition as stated above (most expensive) Dymatize Elite (slightly cheaper) SmartPowders brand (cheapest) The quality of all of these is roughly equal. I personally use…

Barcode scanner on the phone app + common foods/meals/recipies/etc

Zumba and stuff like that is pretty much worthless, in my experience. Go jobbing, start running, you're not going to change your body by jumping around for a few minutes a day dancing.

Milk is very good for you. Don't do this please. Milk has lots of healthy hat, lots of vitamins, lots of protein, and lots of calcium. Get lactose free milk if you're worried about carbs/sugar.

"True" bulking is gaining weight at any cost. Dirty bulks usually involve cramming your face anytime you see or think about food, then you lose the fat later on, keeping some of the muscle. If you want to gain lean mass without a bulk/cut cycle, check out LeanGains

This is it right here. You're probably going through your initial body recomposition. Chill out, keep on doing your thing. You are probably getting your beginner muscle gains which is keeping the scale steady.

Low carb diets work, but not for everyone. They can make you feel kinda tired and you'll lose a lot of water weight. Protein is good, but no need to make it your only food. Do a high protein diet with some healthy fats and whole grains.

Your diet is awful. Eat more protein, eat less carbs.

It's just caffeine. Seriously.

Carbs post work doesn't really matter unless you're a really hardcore lifter. I take 15g dextrose immediately PWO to spike insulin and get my BCAAs into my body faster and then protein 30 minutes later or so. Most people do not need to worry about this.

I workout late so when I get home from the gym I crash and fall asleep You could also try melatonin.

It's a start, but what do you mean by "healthier foods"? Start a real diet with reasonable macros. Eat more protein, have a protein shake instead of a meal a few times a week. You'll be alright.

Just ignore them, it's really inaccurate and you'll slow your weight loss down.

Ignore the workout extra calories. If you're trying to lose weight and give yourself extra calories because you worked out then you will probably not lose weight, or at least not very fast. Also, you're probably not burning 800 a day. That's insane.

Keep is simple. Don't stress on sugars too much. They are carbs, stay under your carb goal and total calories and you'll succeed.

It's a myth. It's been studied. It's been proven.

Are you pregnant? Because otherwise...

While it is true calves are largely genetic, that doesn't necessarily mean you are at your genetic limit. Train them and eat more and if they still don't get bigger then you are at your limit.

There is no such thing as toning. Do high intensity running and eat more protein and less everything else.

You can also take a alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist and do some LISS
