Those are terrible stats for a protein shake if its protein and low calories you are after :) this is what I use (reflex instant whey pro) 25 Gram serving Energy: 412 kJ / 97 kcal Fat: 1.1 of which Saturates: 0.4 g of which Mono-unsaturates: 0.3 g of which Polyunsaturates: 0.4 g Carbohydrates: 1.6 of which Sugars: 1.0 g…

I don't think the half pounds matter long term :) as long as the scale is moving down and your waist measurement is going down it should be fine :)

i usually do Saturday morning once I've used the toilet. also make sure I don't over eat the night before I sometimes do a Wednesday weight in out of curiosity but don't log it half the time

i do both .. but i would rather lose more off my waist than drop weight

just depends on you really i don't do daily because i just hate the scale going up and down lol i do weekly because i have a loads of weight to lose and i want to make sure my diet is tight and on track and adjust it if needed.. if your goal is to lose 1 kg a month i wouldn't see the point of doing weekly weigh ins because…

I would like to say its a holiday so enjoy yourself but I'm not sure what your goals are:) planning a trip abroad soon half business, half pleasure... i plan to watch what i eat and go to the gym but dont plan to diet .. however once i eat any food i don't cook I'm probably logging 800 to 1000 calories in these…

you can have newbie gains in a deficit if you are an experienced lifter than you cant

100 is nothing and in the long term it does not make that much difference :) you don't want to worry too much about 100 calories or you may end up obsessing too much

Don't think it really matters :) .. but if I was going to go with glass size I would go for a tall glass .... think they are half pints

Try zero calorie soda and apples to kill the sugar cravings Have at least one a day Also maybe protien bars ..oh yeah bars are pretty good.. first time I tried them I had to double check to see if it was really a protien bar.. not exactly like a chocolate bar but alot better than the bars I have had and big enough for a…

I have a cheat half days .. so maybe lunch till dinner .. throw a few icecreams or waffles into the mix and eat out. . 3000 to 4000 calories and I'm still on target to lose weight and it gets me ready for the gym Monday and Tuesday .. I don't feel guilty .. I quite enjoy it .. I take it as my reward for my hard work

from my experience banking calories and having a cheat meal on sunday works for me because it gets me ready for the gym on Monday and Tuesday I'm 5'7 and I'm 110 kg (Started off at 120 kg) .. and have 1600 on rest days 2 days a week 1800 to 2200 4 days a week on work out days and can go up to 3500 even 4000 on sunday and…

it can work but usually in very high doses ,, much more than what is recommended on the bottle and it just ends up being too expensive ..

don't worry too much about it just keep it to every week i had one week where i was 113. 6 kg and the following week i did a lot of guestimation and had a large cheat meal and i was 115.2 kg eating a lot more calories like you did during your holiday .. i just told my self i want to be under 113.6 kg the following week and…

sometimes I go to the bakery isle in the supermarket and just stare at the pastries for a while and will my self not to give into temptation.. after engaging in the staring match with the cupcakes... I give myself reasons not to buy it and I walk away patting myself on the back for my sheer will power I'm not even joking…

don't drink so cant give any recommendations but if it is a once a week thing it shouldn't matter too much .. just go for it :) I'm on 1600 to 2000 calories 6 days a week and 3000 to 3500 on Sunday ... pretty much gets me ready for an intense gym work out on Monday.. if I don't have a good cheat day on sunday I feel a lot…

good thing about starting late is that you have less time to eat and feel less hungry through out the day but late for me is like 10 to 11 am

if you just started lifting you may be experiencing newbie gains even with your deficit .. so you may have put on muscle ..measure your waist as well.. in fact at the moment my waist measurement each week is more important than my weight goo example is in a deficit I lost 0.8 kg 2 weeks ago and 0.7 cm off my waist and last…

If its being over a year, enjoy your self when I eat food I have not cooked I log 800 to 1000 but if it all you can eat I would probably log 1500 to 2000

As some one who has used the gym for a while now I was much less motivated when I did it at home.. Personally the bench and dumbbells I bought were a waste of money .. So it really depends on how motivated you feel about working out at home

true

Not bro science lol :D

may be muscle gain start measuring your waist. there are weeks I hardly lose anything but still lose 0.8 cm of waist if you just started working out and doing any weights .. even in a deficit you can have decent newbie gains and as people have said weight everything I way before I cook and then weight after and divide into…

It is possible if you are new to working out . After your newbie gains ...its extremely hard. if time at the gym is an issue you can compress your work out by doing drop sets .. I also find I gain more muscle doing drop sets so lets say you did 4 days as the gym (you could buy a bench and dumbells for your house if there…

BTW I took a look at your diary and realised you are Nigerian and probably have the same problem as me when it comes to eating African food lets face it when you eat someone else's jellof rice or stew you have no idea how they cooked it especially when it comes to the amount of oil in it. If I didn't cook it I always over…

start measuring your food to make sure you are in deficit I actually have an excel spread sheet where I compare expected weight loss vs actual weight loss as well as expected Cms lost off my waist vs actual Cms lost. what MFP tells you to eat is just an estimate so if you precisely track the calories in and see how much…

and try pre preparing your food so you are not tempted to eat what your mother is eating .. I usually cook enough meet for 2 weeks and pack it in individual portions and freeze it.. when its time to each I defrost it in the microwave and put it back under the grill for a while. if you do this make sure you don't over cook…

I live with my wife but we still cook our own food (African food can be very oily) Trust me if you can tell your mother not to cook for you and make your own food :)

done insanity can take a toll on your knees but it works make sure you get a good mat and knee support

having breakfast at about 10 or 11 works for me .. easier for me to do cause I'm studying my masters and at the moment most days I don't have to be in lectures early .. sometimes I do take my breakfast into uni and eat it though lol.. I'm on 1500 today from 3 meals and also burnt about 1000 calories at the gym and don't…
