Look at weight loss this way. You have your BMR which is the number of calories you burn in a day (http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/). Once you figure that out, you need to eat in a caloric deficit to lose weight... There are 3500 calories in a pound, so if you have a 500 calorie deficit a day less than your…

To get strong, try starting strength 5x5 and eat 4000 calories days you lift and 3000 calories on rest days.

Amazing job! Am I the only one who can't stop laughing looking at that goat posing for the camera :#

20% of total calories is carbs? Or only 20g of carbs a day? That would be insane lol. Low carb works though, it's not good if your a college student and want to do well on exams

That is what my RD tells me in class as well. I have 4oz of a dry red wine every other day, and ill report back what my levels are in 6months.

Hey at least your HDL went up a little and not down! Any little bit helps reduce your risk. Congrats to you!

Right now I am on a high mono and poly fat diet, along with a low cholesterol/saturated fat diet. I am also bumping up my fiber intake > than 50g a day. So far I feel the best I ever have in my life. Also I hate alcohol but I am taking in 4oz of a dry red wine every other day.

Thank you man! I am interested in the numbers. I am going to get my checked as well. I heard about a cup of a very dry red wine is one of the true "foods" you can consume and actually raise your values as well. Polyunsaturated fat can lower LDL cholesterol but unfortunately studies have shown it can lower HDL as well, but…

Avocados are one of the best foods on the planet for you to eat. People say they contain alot of fat, BUT the fat it does have is really good! polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat both have had numerous studies done to show that it lowers your BAD LDL cholesterol and maintains good HDL values. Overall it is definitely a…

Amazing amazing amazing!

I am about to go see it, and sneaking in some walnuts along the way...lol

It's fantastic when used with Endomondo.

Do you want to be able to use your HRM with a fitness app?

I sent everyone a request! Friends really help you do better on here no matter what your goals are!

Great reply and very true. I find myself as I get in better and better shape, harder to burn the calories as time goes on and conditioning improves.

As many said do not worry about the few pounds in a week span. The same thing was going on with me. I would read 186lbs in the day time, but in the morning after my morning constitution (lol) I would weigh in at 179lbs! That is almost ten pound fluctuations between evening and morning! What I do now and it seems to work…

Thanks for the replies everyone. I am going for the model look (lol...). What I am going to do is up my caloires about 500-600 day so my net after exercise is around 1600... I burn about a 1000 calories a so a day, so I will be eating 2600 calories a day. I am def looking for the ripped look so 8% body fat is still my…

I go to the University of Oklahoma, and they have a cafeteria that I go to, and they will cook you burgers, chicken sandwiches...ect.. I just tell them to cook me a piece of grilled chicken without any bread or condiments, and I add salsa/guacamole.

I weigh in a few times in the week, but I record my weight every Thursday. Pretty much a linear slope of about 3lbs/wk. :bigsmile:
