MFP creates a deficit for you and therefore when you do exercise it credits calories back otherwise the deficit will be greater and not sustainable in the long run my advice, find a TDEE calculator online and figure that out and then create a 10 - 20% deficit based off that number while still crediting back exercise…

@matkins, someone family orientated?

what in all literal ****S! why would you even do that!

@savoiaS1 - i have no clue, but you remind me of a soccer player, mainly italian or spanish

lift weights 3 times a week min, cardio 2 to 3 times a week in HIIT style and that is all you need really as long with the most important factor, diet (80/20, remember that) :smile:

No. I hardly think there is such thing to overdose on any kind of food, unless it has some sort of substance that causes unwanted/ bad effects if taken in high amounts at a given time. Unless you don't want to "overdose" on important minerals and vitamins and the health benefits of spinach, then eat what you like" :happy:

1) you are eating too little. 2) you are over complicating it (the no meal after 4pm thing - not needed) 3) low carb isn't necessary, but its fine to do, as long as your not doing low fat too then you will gonna struggle and not get necessary nutrients throughout the day. 4) rest your body every 2nd or 3rd day, no need to…

what website does this picture thing?

low calorie: vodka, tequila, any hard liquors on own or mixed with diet sodas/ SF mixers. soda water is low cal (i think zero actually), tonic water has cals,

well seeing as this is the internet, u just say what you think and that's it?

SS takes me 1 hour to 1hour and 15 mins to complete, alternating workouts A and B, 3 times a week (2 times starting next week due to study and other commitments.

one thing you can try is HIIT. look it up on google if you don't know what it is. Another thing you can try is intermittent fasting, a few people swear by the results they get from doing it. GL :smile:

what type of running have you been doing?

None. But if i had one it'll have to be a Siberian husky :smile:

I go alone. I like this except for two things. Not having a partner means not having a spotter and someone to check my form every now and then. I also hate asking people to spot me as i don't want to disrupt their workout so I just tough it out alone

Football (soccer). Forza juve : )

ON 100% gold standard whey. i saw that many people swore by it and said it was good. I tried it and it is so far, so good.

depends. some days i do, some i don't. i have a lot of foods stored under the recipe section so i don't have to add them in every single day one at a time if i use them often

This x1000

OP, find a TDEE calculator online and calculate your calories from that. This includes how long you sleep, eat, cook, clean, work, workout and just general activities of everyday life and your BMR. then from this, subtract between 10% - 20% to get your deficit. stick with it for a few weeks and adjust accordingly to…

50 mins to 1 hour and 15 mins if i do stretching at the end. Lifting only atm. 3 hours is a huge amount of time for one day. that's how much i average 1 week in a gym maybe a bit more.

what's up OP :smile: . I'm a 19 yo uni student (college, what ever :/) going through this whole life style change too and loves soccer (don't get me started) and would be happy for new MFP friends to motivate and vise versa : )

This. and make sure its from good sources too.

your physique (and definitely health) have change soooo much. I am still looking at your before and after image and thinking "holy crap....." it's stories like this that make me want to hit the gym even harder than before and continue tweaking my eating to better myself. Keep it up man! :happy: :smile:

ah thanks for clearing that up :smile: thought i was skinny fat and i was below 18% BF lol
