I appreciate all the advice, suggestions, and thoughts.

Thanks. May try that. Goal is to decrease body fat. The scale. .. ugh.. that thing is confusing.

Gotcha.

My trainer suggested 1600 to 1800 calories per day based on my workouts. So Jim says eat less and arditarose says eat more? Guess I can try both.

My personal trainer. She said I need fuel for performance in workouts. Push harder, lift more, and you burn more calories

Lol I wasn't sure. . All good... just didn't know if I stepped on toes!

Thanks guys. My goal is to get my body fat to 20 percent and to get stronger. Inches would help motivate. The scale. . It lies.. not really important to me. Need to trust the process I guess.

Thanks guys. 20 percent body fat and getting stronger is my goal. Inches lost would help to motivate also. The scale... it lies. I guess that doesn't bother me. Maybe I just need patience.

Sorry if my post upset you.

If I am food prepping and making food... yes. If I get a chicken taco salad somewhere with no shell or dressing, the meat, cheese, and veggies are a guess.

Good advice. We track calories off and on and yes I noticed if you have a cheat meal and beverages one night you may ruin your progress for the week. Thanks.

I don't really consider it a diet just a lifestyle change. Been eating clean for a year or so pretty well. Couple cheats meals a week.

5'8, 148 lbs, 23% body fat, 5 workouts a week- crossfit or circuits. I have a clean eating group so we track calories and protein intake there instead. Roughly 1800-1900 calories a day. A couple planned cheat meals a week and a few alcohol beverages that are included in that 1800-1900 average.

Good point...

Everything has been stalled for about 3 months.

32... feel free to add me. Support and motivation really help.

Thanks for all your opinions. :smile:

I am struggling with the same issue. How many calories to eat to gain muscle?!

Sjaplo.... I totally agree with your comment "well this thread got weird quickly." : ) Thanks for the responses though.
