Still the same. Still working on injury recovery as new ones popped up.

And what typically bulks woman? Body fat, water retention or perspection. I wish the OP would post stats. Gives more insight to provide better answers.

USDA is total carbs. Many international ones are net carbs. You can also search for net carbs entries. For example, I use "Swerve Confectioners Sugar Net Carbs" often since it's just sugar alcohols and has no calories.

Also to add, depending on the number of meals you eat, at 150-170g per day, this might not be an issue as even if you had 3 meals and a snack, you would almost certainly cross that threshold each time.

It's based on the recommendations from the two leading protein researchers (Dr. Stewart Phillips and Dr. Brad Schoenfeld). Its driven by the L-Luecine content from sources. Animal proteins have higher L-Luecine than plants. So consuming animals proteins allows for a lower amount to be consumed while stimulating muscle…

Based on my experience and the studies, people tend to under estimate calories in and over estimate calories out. This happened with my wife. She would remember the few low calorie days, and not realize the once a week time she was going out had a big impact on her weight loss, especially since she is short and not super…

We need more information. What is your goal? Are you trying to lose weight? And based on your post, did you lose the 6 lbs at 2080 calories or 1500?

If you aren't losing weight then it's likely due to diet. I would ask how consistent do you track your calories? Are you using a food scale and log daily? Do you have medical conditions? And most importantly, what are your stats? Eta: can you open your food diary

Fairlife Chocolate Milk is amazing. I would also bring nuts as they are 180-220 calories and easy to bring with you. And high calorie protein bars like Cliff builder bars. All should help a busy student get calories up while maintaining good nutrition

If carbs help your performance, then why are you cutting them? Let's take a step back. What are your goals? Weight loss, performance, muscle gains, etc?

You can measure the oil prior to putting it in the pan.

First, i would agree with @Nony_Mouse with protein being the most important thing, especially while dieting. But we need more information on what your goals are. And what you are trying to achieve.

One the days you are eating more plant based, aim for 40g of protein per meal. On days you are eating eggs and dairy (especially things like Greek yogurt or cottage cheese), then 25-30g per meal is fine.

There are some pretty good low carb breads (Schmidt 647) and lots of dessert that fit into both low carb and keto. Just depends on what you are looking for.

Maybe we could make the group public for a little? I am also almost wondering if it's been long enough to go back to public.

My new creation. This was a peanut butter chocolate chip pudding. High protein and keto friendly, especially when you use a good protein like PEScience or Quest. I would recommend either a whey/casien blend or a casien as it helps with the thickness.

Based on their page, its just a bunch of junk marketing. But which one are you specifically looking at and what is your goal of the supplement?

Also, what kind of recipes do you want? Food preferences. Are we talking fish, beef, chicken, pork? Do you have food aversions?

There are hundreds of definitions. In general terms its whole minimally processed foods. It might or might not help with weight though. It's not hard to eat whole foods and maintain weight. That will come with getting into a deficit. Things like focusing on lean proteins, fruits and vegetables will be a great way to lower…

You can gain muscle in a deficit or even at maintenance. I would say it's more optimal in a surplus but its not necessary.

Nut butters are a terrible source of protein especially when a goal is to gain muscle. They are very low in L-Luecine, which is a major driver for MPS. OP, do you still eat eggs or dairy? If so, that is where you should focus a lot of your protein since they are complete. Otherwise, seitan, soy and if necessary vegan whey…

Fyi, i have notified staff of this issue. They are going to work on it.

Thanks for reporting @lemurcat2 . They are going to add it to the next sprint development. Should be fixed in the early new year.

FYI, one of the problems people often fall into with keto is largely about fat and its not. The only thing that matters for our bodies to run primarily off ketones is carb suppression. And ironically what you are doing now can still get you in ketosis or close to it. I run a targeted ketogenic diet (TKD) which puts 30g of…

I sent a request to the admins

Back on a keto cut.

Mathematically, what you are saying isn't true. If you lose 2 lbs a week at 1200 calories, your maintenance would be 2200.

Merry Christmas everyone! May santa bring everyone some extra gains! I got 60 days until i have a ski trip. Going to challenge myself to be strict for that period to get to 155-157. Going to run a 6 day program (Chest/arms, legs, back/shoulders/traps) and run TKD with 30g of carbs pre workout.

You should be good. I wouldn't worry about adding more fats.
