The Warburtons Wrap alone has - Kcal - 159 Fat - 2.9g Carbs - I think…

Im 4ft 11 and struggling now - i managed to get down to 6st 6lb, however went up to 7st 2lb - but this was my fault. I did change, didnt work out for a month or so and ate horribly whilst on holiday! Im trying to get back on it now, up the exercise and protein and for me lower fats seem to help. Im supposed to have 45g a…

0.3x your bodyweight in pounds?

Same thing happened to me . . . got down to 7st, then kept dropping until I hit 6st6lb . . . then I went on holiday to Vegas and have buffets everyday, came back and went up to 7st! :D The key for me, eating - lots! aha I was having BIG breakfasts and eating late at night! Then again I was on holiday and I didn't actually…

Ok thanks guys will stick at it then :D and going to take the worlds advice and start some strength training/weights too! Thanks again!

Anyone please??!

Agree with that! slow and steady!

I don't know about everyone else, but I took T6 fat burners . . . I did so on work out days at first but because they made my heart beat so fast I was throwing up! So stopped taking them on workout days . . they still made my heart pound on non workout days and everything seemed very 'focused'. I think they affect people…

Any little ladies out there who want to add me feel free too. I'm 4ft 11 inches. I was 9st 12lb (138lb) then went down to 6st 6lb (90lb). I recently went on holiday and got lazy and went back up to 7st 4lb (102lb) so need to get back down to 90lb again. First time I did it by having a quite low carb diet and high protein.…

Hey, I dont have any experience with injury so wouldn't know how much it would hold you back, but might be worth just asking your doctor or something about it too. Hopefully people with much more experience on here will help you out! It doesn't make much sense if you are under your goals every day altho it will take time…

That makes a lot of sense thanks :D there is just soooo much information out there on different ways to achieve it is difficult to know which one will suit my body. Like I said I lost weight before so I know what I am doing but last time I lost more fat than needed and now ive put it back on but seems only around my…

yeah I went low carb before and weight shedded fast. But now its more the remaining fat I have on my stomach over my abs that I need to get rid of and as everyone says abs are made in the kitchen . . . So it may be best I cut my carbs slightly more to use the fat to burn instead. But I always have a wholewheat carb meal 2…

I would say use a calculator just to see what it says. well worth it :)

Yeah I saw some experiments with just eating carbs and eating fat and how they used the energy. . So yeah I understand my body would use fat for energy as well if the carbs were not there to use. So if I want more drastic results should my carbs be less than 160g a day on training days? As it does seem like a lot of carbs…

thanks guys! well I guess my activity levels have been up and down a bit recently so might make small adjustments to it . . . but yeah I make sure the things I log have all the accurate protein, carbs and fat. will try and maintain my eating and perhaps move a bit more :) all advice still very welcome

No I log everything but sometimes I have like 250 cals left over but ive hit my fat and carbs so i dont eat more. I know i never hit my protein but because of my weight I dont actually need that much

thanks all! just thought considering me height of 4ft 11 I may pack on too much too fast . .

If you want protein recipes, then proteinpow.com :)

I didn't have any fish/sausages or anything with it, just a small portion of chips. Bad day! But I'm under 50g fat and I'm on a bulk at the moment and been training 3x a week weight training a full body routine so hopefully won't set me back too much . . . my TDEE calculator says to bulk between 1800-2000 calories, 40g…

Ahh awesome Interesting read man thanks! :)

at the moment yeah he is. he is doing a hypertrophy weight routine 5 days a week. and he has an active job, 5 split shifts a week as a kitchen porter so on his toes from 8:30am - midday then back at work 6:30pm - 10pm normally. he is a member on here if you want to look at his diary or add him/message him. his name is…

my boyfriend is 6ft 3inches and on a bulk. he has to eat 4000 calories a day roughly. for breakfast he has cooked breakfast with potatoes and such, making up about 500 calories or more. then for lunch tomato pasta with Quorn chicken pieces - amazing. and use the pieces for curries and everything too. Also he has shakes and…

wow thanks everyone for all the help! I will defo try Quest bars at some point, difficult as im from the UK so gonna be expensive probably! But I really do want to try them. I make my own protein pancakes, whole egg, egg white, 30g choco cookie protein powder and a banana/100g blueberries depending on what i want so i know…

cheers all! yeah i've heard of quest bars, I checked them about and couldn't believe even with those amazing flavours, only 1g sugars! whattt??!!! yeah exactly according to the packet (choco mint flavour) 32.6g protein, 6.5g fat, 20.7g carbs of which sugars 11.4g. and 272 calories. about the same for all bars, with…

again thank you all for the awesome amount of help and advice! =) good to know my macros are fairly on track, I am quite active (and then some) so makes sense for them to be higher. thanks again! :)

a bit more help needed if possible please! Im looking more into my macros now, looks like according to the TDEE calculators and such that I should be having around 2000 calories a day with a 3x full body workout a week to bulk. As people have said for my weight, I only really need 100g protein. If I split my macros…

thanks again all. Ive put up a post on bodybuilding.com that has now generated some responses. Im going to focus on maintaining for now, figuring that out properly, then focus on compound lifts targeting general muscle mass so will be doing deadlifts, squats, lats, rows, military press with some isolation exercises thrown…

hey all, to anyone who is interested here's a little update - life has been hectic at the moment! and even with eating as much as I have been (feel free to check out my food diary) I am somehow down to 6st 6lbs! even though I have been lifting and eating more . . its driving me crazy!!! So going to up my calories again to…

I was on 1000 calories when loosing weight, then put it up to 1500 to try and gain. Was at that for four weeks, weighed myself and my weight was exactly the same so I put it up again to 1800 which is what I'm at now. timbrom - yeah those macros sound better, I'll up my fat then and try and get them from nuts and eggs and…
