Lifting weight is great, but fat doesn't "turn into muscle"; And the motivating factor to lift weights should not be the scale. More often those who lift have transcended the simpleton mindset of looking to the scale to gauge progress,

I think some can get you high. So if you're into that sort of thing, they *may* be a good fit for you. Oh, did you mean for weight loss? :laugh: Don't be a sucker.

you call that a binge? a pepsi and a bag of chips? get a grip.

You'd me messing up to follow your 500-calories a day plan. Your mind is disordered and your body is fighting back by telling you "feed me, you fool".

I'm fairly strict with calories and hitting my protein and fat macros. I eat out a fair bit, but I try to minimize it. I prefer to have full control over what goes into my meals, and it's easier to log when it's homemade.

I'm on board with this.

That's a nice tree. Just make sure not to miss the forest.

don't be a sucker

sorry. better luck next year i guess.

oh, right, sure, like i really want to keep my metabolism shut down for an extra hour.

yeah everybody thinks they an expert i don't see no degree

I used the Tracy Jordan Method and ended up with a fly body like this!

Total mythology. I regularly eat dinner at 9:30 or 10PM. Often eat a snack right before heading to bed.

One time a doctor told me that smoking really isn't too bad. Yeah, get a doctor who isn't an idiot.

If Dr. Oz said it, it's probably BS. None. Food isn't bad for you. google, search around, try to triangulate on the truth.

q: anyone on 800 calories diet? a: yes, eating disordered people

When just starting out, I simply ate good food regularly and started working out religiously. That got me from overweight / borderline obsese to normal. At some point I started counting calories because I wanted to get down to a pretty low body fat percentage.

The one time I ever tried P90x, my wife walked in on me. It was more embarrassing than getting caught wanking.

The more accurately you log, the more predictable your results will be.

Shoot for around 1g protein per pound of lean body mass. If you don't know lean body mass, then around .8g protein per lb of body weight should get you in the ballpark.

see, i'd call that more of a meal replacement shake rather than a protein shake.

Yoga is for girls. Males should do bench presses and curls and punching bag.

1 lb raw beef 5 eggs 1/2 cup non-fat milk 1 cup ice. Blend on high for 2 minutes.

Both DEXA and BodPod are pretty damn accurate, but no method is flawless. It's the relative change between measurements that is more meaningful.

That's rather like riding a motorcycle with no protective gear and thinking it's fine to keep doing it until you're involved in a wreck.

nope. try again

high-five

Have you been measuring them over time?

By definition this means that something is miscalculated. Either your TDEE was calculated incorrectly, or your food intake is not being logged accurately. 2+2=4 for all values of "2".

1200 calories per day is not recommended.
