The higher protein won't hurt you, just won't add any additional benefit. If you need to supplement or have trouble getting to 150 then yes, you should lower it. If your regular diet allows you to get to 150 without any trouble, then you may as well keep it there.

I wouldn't do any sprinting on leg day, that is for sure! before or after lifting! I would also suggest that that is not the best make up of a program, unless you are an advanced lifter. If you are relatively new to lifting take a look at stronglifts, starting strength or strong curves. Your split of hitting things once a…

I am sure it is fine. it is good to be warmed up before pushing weight around. As for your earlier questions about how long should you do cardio for. It depends on your goals, weight loss and/or fitness. To lose weight you don't need to do any cardio, you could just eat less, if you want to get fit, what is the fitness…

a 10 minute warm up isn't really cardio, and you wouldn't burn much more than 80-120 calories in that little time. That said, it is typically best, if doing a hard workout, to do cardio after, that way you are not to drained to push on the weights, and risk losing form and progressing.

how much did each patty weigh before cooking them? If you didn't weigh them, then take the higher cal, as you lose weight as things cook (water evaporates), but that doesn't lower the calories.

Why? what is the goal you are aiming to achieve with this workout?

Not to mention if you are training for distance events you will usually mix in both types of training to ensure you increase capacity and have the ability to finish the duration while improving race times.

130 grams is probably the miminum protein you would want to get in anyway, so no, don't lower it. if your calorie burn for the week is lower you may want to drop cals by 100-200/day, but don't lower protein.

Motivation for working out or eating right? For working out, try going at lunchtime. with 12 hour days you better get a full hour, plus other breaks fo free time. jest read... 12 hours with no lunch break. I would be leaving the Army and find a job that is "reasonable". Doesn't what they are asking you to do break a bunch…

Pancakes, 'tis the day. Though I will be making crepes and using them as wraps or buns for my breaded chicken breast and will use hot sauce mixed with table syrup for the topping! Kink of a take on chicken and waffles.

You can just change the cals burned in the cals burned box, that way your feed will still show the actual distance you went

You should be getting 1400ish net, based on your goal. Since you burned 570, you should have eaten 1900+ calories, not 500

I would just cut the number MFP gives you in half. If results are not what is expected adjust from there. I would ask why your are spending so much time on just abs? 15 minutes 3 times per week seems like a lot of core work, given how much time you spend on other. You can't spot reduce and your core gets worked if you do…

Seems like too often for my.. your triceps would be getting a workout all 6 days, as that is the secondary muscle in both shoulder prress and push ups. Doesn't seem like a well structured program that includes proper volume, frequency and recovery. why not check out an established program instead? If these are your only…

wow. 100 lbs in 10 months is too fast of a rate of loss!, that can lead to a large % of your loss coming from lean muscle, meaning your BMR and TDEE at your goal weight would have been less than you would expect, making it easier to gain back weight (what you think is maintenance would probably be a small surplus) When…

But carbs are more important to bulk up than protein, so to take your advice, you would need more carbs and less protein to eat how you want to look!

For building muscle in a surplus, carbs are king... protein is more important in a deficit than a surplus. You would be fine with 150 grams but it is a little overkill. If you don't know your BF% you could set protein as a minimum equal to 0.8 grams per lb of goal weight. So if your goal is 150 lbs, aim for 120 grams.

There is nothing wrong with pasta if you can fit it in your calories, and to a lesser extent, macros. If you are finding trouble keeping within your cals when you eat it, consider spaghetti squash instead

I use them as buns for a breaded chicken sandwich. For sauce I mix some table syrup and hot sauce. Kind of a different take on chicken and waffles.

That isn't what you said the other day!!

eat at maintenance, which is more than BMR, unless you lay in bed all day, the BMR will be close to what you need to maintain. If you eat, sit up, go to the washroom, you could eat more, and if dealing with exhaustion, you should eat more.

I am sure she would still be up for that! otherwise, you could still cuddle your dog and still have the chicken... mmm chicken!

Just threw up in my mouth a little

Well in a deficit you will most likely not be building muscle anyway (unless you are overfat, a newbie, or returning to training after time away), in a deficit protein is there to help retain muscle, and carbs are the only macro not required, which is why most people on a cut lower carbs. The differnce in my diet from a…

For bulking, eating above maintenance carbs are king, protein helps rebuild so should actually be higher when in a deficit so you don't lose muscle. this was on guy simplifying things, I am sure that 10% is different for each macro under different scenarios (training for endurance event vs. cutting fat (deficit), vs…

Also, minimum amount, does not mean ideal amount!!! we should be shooting for as close to ideal macros as we can, not just minimums.

Not quite, should be focusing on grams per KG of body weight, not a % of a diet. fat is good for hair, nails, digestive tract, fat-soluble vitamins, skin, etc.

Lol, in the grand scheme of that distance, pretty close to you! Small world... Too bad the locations weren't reversed, Lol
