Agreed. There are only healthier choices at these grease establishments. I mean eating establishments.

Excess skin is something anyone has to deal with if they are serious about dropping the extra pounds. The best way to deal with it is through training with weights (dumbbells, barbells and weighted machines). Nothing is better for body toning then actual weights. You can do cardio all day. Run laps around a track until you…

Great job!

Working out with as heavy of a weight as one can (male or female) will always be superior to fat loss as long as one's diet is in check and proper form is used.

One thing I do, for example, is mix spinach with the fruit(s) of my choice, a cup of unsweetened almond milk (regular fat free milk when bulking) and a scoop of a protein powder and converting it all into a shake. It doesn't sound tasty but the spinach, if you have a good blender, you won't even taste it.

This was the case with mostly family members when I started my lifestyle change a few years ago when it came to food. After these last few years and the progress I've made I don't get the "oh, try this" or "have some of this, you'll like it" comments no where near as often because they realize that by not eating a lot of…

Hey guys. I'm 32 and from NYC. In a few weeks I'm about to wrap up my first, true, cutting (shedding fat) program in which I have gone on to lose 24lbs as of this writing. With fall approximately a month and change away I'll be getting ready to start a new bulking/adding mass phase to my frame and I can't wait. I owe a lot…

I didn't start eating veggies consistently until a couple of years after I began training. Til this day I really don't like them. So much so that I have to chew the ones I do eat with some kind of protein (usually a meat of some sort). I go for potatoes, green beans, cauliflower & broccoli. I also add carrots to shakes…

Let those negative images you have of yourself when working out be the very thing that drives you to work harder when you train and to be more consistent when meeting your daily caloric numbers.

Hi ladies. Plateaus are unavoidable as you may have recently came to find out. You can break them doing a couple of things such as altering your diet (not eating the same foods all the time) and switching things up when it comes to your training routine. Hope this helps.

The general rule of thumb is once a week since weight fluctuates daily.
-
A few questions: 1. How much water are you consuming daily? Perhaps it hasn't been enough. It's something simple that a lot of people overlook. 2. Piggybacking off #1 are you meeting your fiber and other micro nutrient needs? A lot of people get caught up in just meeting the macro number (calories comprised of protein,…

I love ground turkey! That is all...

Basically what ladynocturtne said: if you're burning that much calories every time you exercise that's a problem based on the number of calories you're consuming daily. There are more variables though: 1 - How many times a week are you working out? 2. Do you use free weights (nothing better for toning) or is just…

Exactly what was said above

The biggest load of crap I've read/heard today bar none. Then again neither look like they've ever stepped foot in a gym. It's like needing a haircut and getting a trim from someone who's blind; it just doesn't make sense - at the very least not for bodybuilding or strength training.
-
Meal timing, even after any sort of workout, is what's referred around training circles as bro-science. As long as you consume your daily allotted amount of calories spread between your protein, fats and carbs and make sure you are also consuming essential micro nutrients you are good to go.

There is nothing wrong with diet soda. To see negative effects off it (diet soda) one would have to consume in excess of 20 + cans in one day! Again, there is nothing wrong with drinking diet soda - the end!

Almond milk is indeed pretty bad in coffee but it's really good in Nestle's fat free cocoa powder. It's my way of a tasty drink in the AM since I can't have coffee if its not with regular skim milk which I gave up a while ago.

2 servings of white rice, 6 ounces of 99% fat free turkey, 2 servings of red roman beans and serving of green beans.

All I know is that I wouldn't let MFP calculate my numbers. I tried doing so when I first got on here and my numbers, for a cut, where I came to find out too low. I did my researched and discovered a way to calculate your own numbers based on age, height, weight, goal and activity level and I manually imputed them onto…

Don't believe the hype! Casein is absolutely not needed and marketed as this miracle overnight taking protein powder that is going to deter your gains as you are sleeping and can't eat. As long as you meet your macro and micro nutrients for the day (calorie numbers), get plenty of rest and adequate amounts of water you'll…

Your goal daily should be to meet your goal caloric numbers daily - as close to zero as possible. I've seen quite a number of folks fall short a few hundred calories often in their diary. Perhaps they believe that by falling short they would kick-start the weight loss when in actuality they are hurting themselves. First…
-
Meal timing and frequency is complete bro-science and totally BS! Trust me I was eating and living this mantra for the longest time until I started reading up on the premise of 'If It Fits Your Macros' (IIFYM) and the importance of eating for your goals - whether a surplus to gain weight/size or for a deficit to lose…

Word!

I log them. A calorie is a calorie - no matter how low it is.

Make sure of two things: - That you're getting a sound meal full of carbs and protein (minimal fats and veggies as the latter causes gas :laugh: and you don't want to be stinking up your gym) before you work out or a protein shake with some form of carb (bananas are a good option) before your workout - That you're…
