you people are so creative, im here stuck with chicken and rice :mad:

it might, there are some studies that have shown elements of anti-oxidants and caffeine increase metabolic capacities. But not by much, by maybe 1.8 - 2% max. Your best bet to increase your metabolic output is resistance training.

I eat 16 eggs on average 4 days a week...

True. But not nearly enough as a person trying to retain muscle would need while dropping fat.

I train calves and forearms 3 times a week. Traps twice a week a long with every other muscle group.

to a certain point. But when dropping into the single digits, attention to detail is what makes the difference between 8% BF and 4%.

A calorie controlled one. There is no such thing as toning. The leaner you get your muscle 'tone' will start to look harder.

I'm at 300g carbs and losing about 1 - 1.5lbs a week. And no they are mostly complex carbs. The most complex carb i've been having is probably a banana.

black and white. I like colours :P

oh my god 10000 nighters

1 nighter and then some

Trial and error. And Watching the scale, tracking your weight.

all i see is boobs so 1 nighter

Protein is the building blocks of your muscle tissue. That's why you are tracking it. That varies from person to person.

Meal 1 - 5 and stack

would say "take off your pants, and show me your legs" no homo

Ignore the rest, until you've actually trialed the calories for at least 3 weeks. From there, make your own decision whether or not it works.

for a new person, changing your workouts ever 6 - 8 weeks or so is sufficient. And I mean complete change, such as exercises, not just rep ranges. The longer you weight train the more frequent you should change up the workout to keep the body from adapting. For me I have to change mine every 3 weeks. I have 4 routines…

I admire your bravery for the post. But that's about it, everything else makes me want to punch myself in the nuts.

vegetables and fruits

If I have protein before workout its ok for me. If I have any carbs or fats I feel tired during the workout.

Everyday first thing in the morning after the toilet. Average out the weight at the end of the week.

oh my god, pretty young thing

Add a refeed day.

Progress to me would be the closer you get (for women) below 18% bodyfat. And I'm saying you should jolt your calories at least once a week and not eat below your macros everyday.

Protein: 1g/lb Fat: 0.33g/lb (male), 0.45g/lb (female) Carb: what is left of your calories. Use as a guide, adjust macros according to progress. Never go with the figure MFP gives you.

Hang, but i hate fishing :laugh:

what about your metabolism? do you jolt your calories atleast once a week? In the long run you're not going to see progress unless you do.

4 sorry mate don't swing that way
