I would join the gym only if you plan to properly utilize the weights and lifting equipment, and if you like the fitness environment. At the moment I just do my cardio in there after weight sessions because it is convenient and it is still a little cold here. But during the summer I make the most of the weather and go for…

I have about 1-2 meals a day starting from 3pm. You'll be fine

Could have thyroid problems or underlying digestion issues. Do you eat large amounts of grains/dairy as well as vegetables? On any medication? Any intolerance or food allergies?

Absolutely lost my *kitten* at the first 4 replies LMAO that is all

Increase frequency, stretch, make sure protein is adequate and rest is sufficient. Drink enough water. Foam roll. Take a shower but switch between cold and hot every couple of minutes during it and target the water mostly towards legs.

In terms of calories obviously it won't do anything negative. Some people tend to report that sugar-free drinks actually INCREASE appetite, which obviously you don't want. There is also some evidence to suggest that it may interfere with insulin sensitivity but I'm not sure how reliable the information is.

If you are in a caloric surplus, you will gain weight... SO; Make sure you are in a consistent surplus Make sure your protein is high Make sure your surplus is not too large This will ensure you are gaining weight, you are not gaining too fast and that most of the weight will be muscle. As for drinking, it isn't really…

Most likely cardio, unless you're going way too easy.

I don't believe cardio as warm up is necessary, especially for weightlifting. I tend to under perform if I do so, but if it gives you peace of mind, do about 5 minutes at a very light intensity. You should do dynamic stretches for the intended muscle group of the session, following by mobility work for the…

Try having a re-feed day or 2 (increase calories to maintenance or slightly higher, keep protein high but raise carbs). When I usually stall on weight-loss I do this, i'l maybe go up 1kg tops due to increased food mass + water waste the next day but then I'll drop back down the day after when i resume my deficit and my…

Unfortunately when first starting (I am assuming you have recently started) the most accurate way other than going in for a DEXA scan or something like that would be to *kitten* the first few months until you know (more or less) your caloric needs and expedinture, and by then you should also have developed a better apt for…

There's no real way any one of us can tell you for sure. *kitten* your weight gain for 2-4 weeks and if you feel you are gaining too fast, detract calories. If you're not gaining enough, add calories. From there, *kitten* further and again, make adjustments if necessary. A good guidline is no more than 1-2lbs of weight…

Lift heavy and correctly. In other words don't do what most women who start out do (Walk in and do 3-4 random machine excersise with disgusting form and ridiculously light weight, do a crap load of cardio and stretches that have no carry over to their mobility whatsoever). Get a proper routine, incorporate compounds, high…

Either recomp or slow cut. You lack muscle but you're also pretty fat. If you do either of the two things I suggested you will still gain strength/muscle on the count of you being a noob while still losing fat on the count of being in a caloric defecit or through the thermogenic effect of lifting. Losing fat is faster than…

Most of them send you though a bunch of links advertising some product, book or some crap.

I wouldn't recommend using the MFP calculator, or any calculators really. The best way to go about it is eat as you would have normally and just count that, and that would be your maintenance (theoretically). From there, take out about 250 calories and see how that goes for 2 weeks or so. If no weight is lost, lower by 200…
-
If you're not losing weight you're not in a caloric deficit. Either you're not measuring all of your food correctly or you haven't calculated your maintenance level properly. I would pick a logical number for a maintenance (don't know what it is for femalws, for males it tends to be around 2500) and test that out for 1-2…

The potential effects of nutrient timing/meal frequency are so miniscule, it is not worth the effort, and people put it's importance way higher than it needs to be compared to things that actually matter e.g calories, macros etc. Also that source isn't especially reliable, here is something slightly better:…

Paleo is stupid, uneccessary, potentially unhealthy and as an idea it is utterly fallicious. Clean eating is on the same boat, but the level of negatives is dependant on how obsessive you are about what specific foods you're eating or not. I don't understand why people can't accept that fact that the healthiest way to diet…

Sugar avoidance is completely illogical and stupid if you don't have a condition that needs you to do that. Fruit avoidance is unjustifiable in every possible way. You're probably going to keep it up for 1 week tops, and then you're going to fail and binge out and become depressed/demotivated, and probably end up being…

You can build muscle in a deficit if you are completely new to resistance training. After a short while the "noob gains" will halt. Beyond that point, there is no other way to build muscle effectively but to eat in a caloric surplus, or to "bulk". Please do not listen to people that tell you that you can "burn fat and…
