Bacon is glorious and calorie free...

What is your current total caloric intake? How did you achieve that number? BMR or TDEE? Getting carbs from "healthy" foods won't make you lose weight any better than if all your carbs came from sour patch kids (nutrition and satiety aside, of course). Calories in vs out for weight loss/maintenance/gain. To lose weight,…

3lbs... In a normal weight range... 3lbs? what happens after a week?
-
What? As @cityruss stated, this is wrong. OP, if you find yourself more hungry at night, save calories for that time. Hell, save a majority of your calories for night if that helps you. Meal timing has nothing to do with weight loss.
-
What's your current caloric intake? How much are you looking to increase calories by?
-
Um, no...
-
You are correct - this isn't fact.
-
Meal timing/frequency has no relevance in weight loss. Suppressing appetite and cutting calories without being hungy is personal preference/trial and error.

Better for what?

Way too much is subjective. If you like eating that much protein, you aren't eating too much. If your diet or lifestyle protocol is centered around low carb, then you'll have to fill in the calories somewhere else obviously. However, if you have a high protein diet simply because you think this will build more muscle, burn…

^This. 185g of protein is overkill.

Eating "clean" in a bulk has nothing to do with whether you will gain fat or not. A clean bulk refers to a less aggressive surplus (250-500 calories over maintenance). Eat as clean as you want, but you'll still gain fat. A surplus of calories over time will lead to both muscle and fat gain, given you are lifting weights…

eat more...

^This. Getting a blood test is smart, especially with a history or anemia. Looked at your diary, and if you are logging correctly, days of 300 or 600 calories is counter-productive and dangerous, given your stated activity levels. I would also recommend you accurately track your fat intake. There are many days where you…

Eating breakfast doesn't "boost" your metabolism...

Many who follow IF remain flexible outside of their eating window and sip low calorie drinks, tea or black coffee. BCAA's post workout if you aren't eating until 12 is a smart move, since going without amino acids that long probably isn't optimal. And larger dinner = winning!

Well said! /end thread

My first time, I reversed slowly as well, adding 15-20g of carbs and a few grams of fat every week. As @Wheelhouse15 said, I did lose a few more pounds before maintenance as well. Second time around, I jumped pretty quickly. Still did my normal routine, which included cardio 2-3 times a week. Comparing the two, I don't…

My point exactly. Everyone is different. I don't take C4 or any pre-workouts, because it makes me jittery more than anything. I took it once, thought I was having a heart attack, and had to stop mid-workout lol! A cup of coffee a day is more than enough to keep me going for hours at work. But that's me. Meal timing should…

Reading comprehension? I did answer your question.

25g of carbs isn't really going to do much for muscle glycogen pre-workout. Elite athletes or individuals that train multiple times a day need to be concerned with replenishing muslce glycogen for their next bout, but for everyone else, muscle glycogen will replenish during the course of feeding. And while consuming…
-
No, meal timing is personal preference for performance sake. Some individuals need a pre-workout meal. For others, if they eat within a few hours of training, it causes all types of issues and lowers performance.
-
This. Overall caloric intake and nutrition throughout the day is what matters. Training fasted or fed has nothing to do with putting on lean muscle or not. The question you have to answer is will being fasted or fed enhance/hinder your training. Also, as @AKDonF stated, if you do train fasted, it is a smart idea not to…

In a bulk carbs are king. .6g-.8g as minimums for protein consumption.

+1. Nothing like going to bed satisfied...

As @MrM27 and @cajuntank stated, the body does not store excess protein. It also depends on what you consider "going under" protein goals in relation to your activity and current caloric intake. Since you posted this in the gaining weight section, I assume you are at a surplus. If you are lifting weights regularly and…

Depends on your method. If you are using MFP for caloric guidance, you would eat back exercise calories. If you are using TDEE, don't eat back exercise calories, as they are already calculated.
