Haha, yes exactly, I think it's very threatening to a mans ego. Personally I think it looks amazing, it shows a hell of a lot of hard work and determination and a lot of us can only aspire to one day looking this way. Some women think they will pick up a barbell in a gym and sprout enormous 'manly' muscles the next day…

I'm eating low carb/ high protein. Set my macros to 40/30/30 (P/C/F) on the goals section so I try to eat around 140g protein, 100g carb and 45g fat. I tried to do Paleo for a while but completely cutting grains does't work for me! I ended up craving white bread (don't even like it!) and sugar and had no strength to lift…

Crispbread as a replacement for actual bread. 16 cals, 4g carb per crispbread

I meant to quote the poster who was complaining about there only being 6g protein per cookie! Might try these tomorrow, hopefully they'll satisfy my sweet tooth! Thanks again! :happy:

There is protein in the oats, the peanut butter (at least 4g per tbsp if it's good quality) and obviously your own protein powder so there is probably a lot more than 6g.

They look great thank you!

I was asking the same questions a few days ago as I was weighing the same if not more after a work out especially after weight training. Thanks for the articles guys, I think the world should read them it will radically change our perceptions and obsessions with a number on a scale (easier said than done I know!)

I usually have a slim fast shake in a morning (which look to have about the same nutritional value) as I don't really enjoy eating first thing in the morning. I use them for the milk, vitamins and nutrients but they are really high carb full of sugar!! So I just got a kilo bag of Myprotein Impact Whey Protein (choc mint)…

Thank you for this, wish I'd have read it sooner. :blushing: Will definitely push through it and the scales are going in the cupboard. Thanks for all your replies! :happy:

Bump!

Great thread, some good meal ideas here! I'm trying to eat as close to a paleo diet as possible, basically as clean as I can keeping it low carb/high protein, whilst lifting weights, but I'm only managing to eat around 1200 cals and on the days that I run my net is about 800! I don't want to add junk to my diet just to…

Thank you for this post, I think your pictures are testament to the truth, your transformation is awesome! Well done on all your hard work. Am about to start lifting and this is great inspiration!

Thanks for the welcome! I'm looking forward to it, going to start Paleo too just to see if I can manage it although I have a really sweet tooth so I'll have to see how that goes!

Hi, I'm very new to MFP this is my first post so don't really know what I'm doing! I'm 27F 5'6'' 150 pounds. Dieted since early teens, you name it I tried it, always come back to around 155-160 ! Quit smoking early February and within 4 weeks None of my jeans would fasten, so here I am! I have been running 2-3 times a week…
