Body fat calculators aren’t very accurate. Also, why do you want to hit 12-15% bf as a female? That’s extremely low. As a rough idea: From one of those websites: Anyway, I second the above: it’s difficult to get an accurate estimate, and calculators really don’t do a very good job. I’d recommend you read through these…

Errrr. Okay. Depends what you put in the cup. This is why a food scale is usually recommended over cup measurements: 1 cup of sugar is a very different weight from 1 cup of rice krispies.

Photoshop! Sorry, I really have trust issues. But I’m glad you’re feeling better. You’re really close to your goal, so it will be slower, but that’s the right way to do it.

Every time someone says they can’t eat pizza because they’re on a “diet”, God kills a puppy. So really, CICO is saving puppies left and right.

It’s not even fair how cheap you guys can get them in the States. They’re at least $3 a pop here in Canada.

I’d like to add three things. First: Not to be skeptical, but you never know for sure that they’re losing 10lbs week. Second, it might help you to think of weight loss in terms of % body weight if you’re comparing your results to others: you’re already really light. Third, it shouldn’t matter how much they lose, but I do…

Any number of other peanut butters are also completely delicious: hazelnut, cashew, sunflower, almond. I personally don’t find the brand to make that big of a difference, so if I were you I’d just try out the tiny jars of the various kinds to see what I like.

Nice!!! I wish I had a Costco membership - maybe next year! :smiley: Hmmm I need to look into this PB marshmallow business you speak of.
-
I’d say they’re much more coconuty than anything else. I can barely taste cashews. Do you know Bounty chocolate bars? They’re the same thing for me, taste-wise, but less sweet and more chewy.
-
Bahahahahah. That’s actually more protein than I expected. And this :+1:
-
Same. I ate two today :flushed: (Double Chocolate Chunk, of course)

If the pills are prescribed by your doctor, go see your doctor. If they’re not, stop taking them - most OTC supplements are ineffective at best and cause problems at worst (i.e. like is happening to you). If you want to lose weight, all you need to do is maintain a caloric deficit by careful logging and tracking of your…

I would add that I get a basic whey protein at my supermarket. It’s Kaizen whey and it seems to be good quality (no fillers and such). It’s 120 cals for 26g protein, if I’m not mistaken, and the taste is great (I have vanilla and chocolate). Also, keep in mind also that you don’t have to consume protein powder as a shake.…

I was surprised to see that sliced bread actually weighs quite a bit more per slice than the package indicates (i.e. 45g slice is actually more like 50-55 at the small end of the loaf).

I’m a huge fan of Quest bars. They seem expensive, but you’re getting two macros for your buck (protein and fibre), so it’s worth it when compared with other protein bars on the market. Also, their fibre is no more “artificial” than anything else. You can actually buy Vitafibre (the fibre syrup they use) on Amazon if you…

^^^ What they said. If anything, you should be glad to learn that the problem is likely your food logging, so that if you fixed that chances are you will see results. You don’t weigh crackers, fruit, cereal, margarine, beans, margarine, potatoes, butter, avocado. These things add up and can wipe out your deficit. Not to…

Hm. This is odd. I looked over the squat section in his book again, and he seems to just repeat that you need to be pushing up with your hips - not much else regarding hip movement. And the wrist angle in this video is exactly what he describes as incorrect in the book. :confused:

That’s exactly my point: cups are not accurate, and 1/2c does not necessarily translate into 56g of cheese - it could be more or less, depending on how you filled the cup. Anyway. The calorie/protein ratio would probably be better with less olive oil.
-
Crumbled? Or in tiny little cubes? Do you press them down into the cup? I don’t think you can translate cups of cheese to grams consistently.
-
This looks yum. I’d recommend you use a food scale instead of cups for all those measurements though (what’s 1/2 cup of feta??).
-
So no bagel? Thanks for this, it’s very helpful. I’ve tried a couple of pre samples and they fade around the 20 minute mark, so that didn’t do much for me. Not sure if they’re worth the monies at this point, but I do like the focus. Never felt the famed tingle - so sad.
-
Quite right! But yeah, weighed squats are great. I haven’t done the leg press in ages.
-
Indeed. Especially standing up :wink:

You’re right about one thing: many people will disagree with you. Though those new to weight training can gain some muscle in a deficit starting off (aka noob gains), you will not consistently gain muscle while eating in a deficit as time goes by. It’s slow enough to change your body composition during a recomp where…
