They both contain alcohol. It's not which is worse, but that neither one is a great option when you are trying to improve you health. Avoiding alcohol when you are focused on improving your fitness level is the best option, and if you cannot avoid it limit yourself to 2 drinks. The alcohol will eventually turn into sugar…

My thoughts are if you are making progress then the amount of sugar you are taking in is good. Now if your intake is negatively affecting your progress then watching your intake is important. Fruit provides many other nutrients besides sugar, and not all sugar is bad. I mainly focus on refined sugars that are listed as…

Remember the most important thing to remember is not how much weight you lift. Heavy weights are in direct relation to your own physical maximum effort. Your weights that you will use will be different from everyone else in the gym. Focus on individual goals not what everyone else can do. Having said that, if you are just…

According to my goal, 1/2 pound of weight loss a week, I am set at a limit of 98g of protein a day. Having said that I consume anywhere from 250g to 300g a day. I replace my carbs with protein and vice versa depending on how I feel and look. The caloric level set simply states that if you remain at this point you will lose…

Something in your diet must have changed since your caloric output (exercise) has increase. I am not a huge fan of the scale! I weigh…

A 200-300 caloric deficit is great! The thing that has kept me in trouble is the timing of the calories. Keep you total daily intake below your caloric output is great, but what time of day you take the calories in will influence weigh loss/ gain. Keeping the carbs lower in the afternoon and evening to prevent fat storage.…

Look under the fitness and strength section, I found a post about someone going to Disneyland. Good Luck!

If you are doing any amount of strength training your lean muscle mass will increase. Keep in mind that with this increase in lean muscle mass your caloric output will become more effective. The short term 'weight' gain will turn out to be a long term benefit. Don't focus on the numbers of the weight, but rather focus on…

I just found this site, and wanted to say hello. I live in central OH and workout six to seven days a week. I was hoping that the exercise calculator would track calories burned with the strength exercises. My goals are to drop BF .5-1% each month with a final goal of 12%, while maintaing or gaining lean muscle mass. I…
