To be honest myfitnesspal has a decent enough macro calculator (the amount of carb protein and fat) but it could be better. I dont normally do in percentage as such, rather based on you weight. For example for me, I calculate my fat intake to be 1g per kg and my protein and carb intake to be anywhere between 1.5-3g per kg.…

Funnily enough, if you gain muscle first, it is much easier to shed those fat weights. Your muscles burn away the calories so more muscles = more calories burned = more fat burned.

this is wrong on so many levels. breakfast is CRUCiAL for your metabolism. do you know WHY your not hungry? because your metabolism has slowed to a halt. WHY? because if it kept on going then your body would eat itself to death. it is a survival mechanism by your body to slow your metabolism so you don't die and the reason…

the reason why you are not hungry in the morning is because throughout the night your body used up all its source of nutrients and thus went into a catabolic state. in this state your body breaks down your own body (muscles among other things) and uses them to keep your body alive. also as a survival mechanism your…

Can you do jumping jacks? Can you do air jacks? how about a pushup but on your knees? or a crunch? jumping ropes? even a half burpee or mountain climbers? jump on the spot with your arms above your head? Can you lift a gallon of water above your head? Can you raise your legs up to stretch your calves? Can you lie down on…

I hope these pic arent against the rules.. is it too vulgar or something?

Hiya, im 20 turning 21 in July from the big AUSTRALIA!@!@!@!@!!!! :D studying in uni atm so life tough. Could use a good laugh, couldnt you? :p

QUOTE: Often I look at the people on the treadmills at the gym and shake my head, (I am not ridiculing them or anything like that, I just feel bad that they dont understand how the body works and what the body needs) they are on there day in and out sweating yet seeing very little gains (losses) whilst im in, 45 min later…

Thats some pretty good gains (loss). Make sure its actually lost fat rather then water retention going down etc. And I hope your losing it in a safe and smart manner!! Good LUCK!

Do you mean here on MFP or in real life? If its here then there are plenty of people who want to befriend you to support you and in turn get support in their goals :D If its real life, then go out and be confident in who you are and people will flock around you for you being you. (you you youy you!)

She's the grandma from little red riding hood. dont mess with this granny cause she can bench you !!

Dont forget to eat carbs, and its not really about what your doing ( well it is, but..) but the INTENSITY. If your at the gym doing some lunges with dumbbells every 5 min your not getting anywhere. Keep break times low, measure them!

Well, there really is no such thing as too much weight. Everybody is different, it depends on how much YOU can lift. A good way to determine if a current weight is good is (if your lifting heavy) you can barely manage your last few reps of your 2nd set. So say you are doing bench presses, and you are lifting x kgs. If you…

Tbh your body getting used to change and hence not seeing results within the first few weeks to month is bogus (IMO). I have been eating right and doing the right things for about 2 months now and I can see good VISUAL results, even from the first 2 weeks! If you want to lose weight at an unhealthy rate and have a weak and…

^ this MFP doesnt know you burned 300 calories through the treadmill (didnt log it) so it thinks you have been sitting around all day hence the 1200 cal. Seriously though to effectively lose weight 1200 cal is not enough.

Sorry Im just going to copy paste what I wrote on another topic: Your eating 1200 calories only and you exercise on top of that. VERY BAD, NO NO NEIN!!! :D but in all seriousness read below: 1.First tip (and this may sound bad) EAT MORE. The saying eat more to lose more is true, as I will say below what makes you lose fat…

Welcome to the forums and keep up your tracking progress!

Oh, sorry I misunderstood haha. Well on average about 0.8-1g gram of fat per kg of body mass is a good value to use for fat intake. Since I weigh 64kg at the moment I should be taking in anywhere between 51g to 64g of fat. Yeah the thing nuts are a great source of good fats, but it is easy to eat too many that is why…

Thanks, its good to see people think Im going in the right direction. THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!

Nice progress there Judgebunny (haha nice name)! I eat 2500 calories a day, and I workout 6 days a week, in 4 day cycles (so 3 weights 1 HIITS, EG: day 1 weights, day 2 weights, day 3 weights, day4 hiits, day 1 weights etc) This may seem like alot, but it really aint considering I only spend about 45 min on weight days…

Basically if you want to reach 1200 calories (bad idea but anyway) and you burned 300 calories then you need to eat 1500 calories worth of food. In other words, NET CALORIES = CALORIES EATEN - CALORIES BURNED THROUGH EXERCISE. Your net calories is the value you want to reach (1200cal) and you get the rest

Hi! Firstly your thought that to lose fat, you must not eat fat is incorrect (no offense but it is a very common thought, why eat fat when your trying to lose it?). You need to start eating high calorie foods (fruits, veggies, lean proteins etc) and Im wondering how your managing to eat clean when you dont eat much of the…

Hmm bad phrasing lol. If you look at my diary I still consume a hearty amount of saturated fat, though the source of it is a whole matter entirely. Yeah I get where your coming from, in this modern day and age most saturated fats that people generally eat are from bad sources (KFC come to mind anyone?)

From what I can read your burning 1000 calories but your only eating 1300-1500 calories? I dont like those numbers very much. 1.First tip (and this may sound bad) EAT MORE. The saying eat more to lose more is true, as I will say below what makes you lose fat and burn calories are your muscles. To do this they need to EXIST…

Quick question? Are you on a high protein low carb diet? Cause if you are, these dont work for a long term lifestyle change. WIth low carb diets you do see some significant weight loss, however the odds of cravings bad binge eating are much higher hence not very good long term. My macros are 50c/30p/20f (50 carb, 30…

GOOD LUCK! I hope your dreams become reality! A good tip about drinking water is to not drink in cups (seriously!). I drink from a 600ml-1L bottle and without knowing it I end up drinking a good 3-8 bottles of water a day. (depending on the size of bottle i'm currently using) When I used to drink from cups, I found it very…

Its very difficult I agree, thats why I try to avoid situations where I dont know what Im eating. Obviously this cant always be done, but it can be minimised

What a transformation! Its much harder to see my transformation cause I was a skinny fat guy (look it up :D) thus the only real way to measure my progress is guesswork via a mirror grrr

YOU THE MAN bro! Hope all goes well for you!

In my opinion, any diet that consists of low carbs/fats are BAD. People think carbs, crap its going to make me fat, and with fat ****e its FAT DAMNIT!. They couldn't be MORE wrong. Yes saturated fat is bad, but you still need ESSENTIAL FATS otherwise your body will not function properly. Same goes with carbs, carbs are…
