^This. Cal - 120 P - 23 C- 8 F -0 Add a serving of sugar free gelatin/228gr (2 servings) of yogurt, and it completely covers the funky taste of the yogurt without all the carbs. At only $.50 - .$.75 per gelatin. Its worth a try. My favorite is the peach gelatin.

I mostly keep it to a 1 meal/week, typically Saturday dinner. But there are times, when temptation gets the better of and that meal turns into Saturday night and Sunday night, or like this past Mother's Day, it was a cheat day. Never really gets the better of me though. I have always gotten back on the grind Monday (been…

Yup. Every Sunday.

I always have a significantly larger appetite on my non-lifting days, which is typically my cardio days. I used to only run, and I never had an appetite like I do the day after I lift.

If you are looking to recomp, you will need to focus on weight training. If that is the case, I would recommend a 35%p / 35%c / 30%f, split.

I typically do it first thing in the morning or the night before while preparing my meals for the day or next day. I try to have every meal in MFP at the start of the day so I know if I can fit in any energy-dense foods.

Unprocessed MEAT!!! Boneless skinless chicken breast, skinless chicken thighs, tuna, top sirloin steak, lean ground beef, lean ground turkey, venison (deer). I could go on...

MFP and a kitchen scale (I was cheating myself and not eating as much as I was logging). Oh yea, and that little thing called Willpower.

Wait, so you want to do something other than what Dr. Oz promotes! Your not going to be "healthy" if you go against the great and all-knowing Oz!
-
Sure it will work, as long as you make sure you are at a caloric deficit. That could be tough excluding bread, pasta, oats, rice... Your body needs those types of carbs, and they will help with hunger.
-
If it is something you want bad enough, it will happen. Set small goals. Start with logging your food and using the Cals MFP sets.

My reward is to look in the mirror and see all the gains. Also have the satisfaction of knowing my hours lifting and logging is paying off.

Its controversial because it goes against the Bro Science that says you NEED to eat Breakfast in the morning to get you energy for the day. It is great tool for fat lose especially if you are able to train fasted. I have been doing it for about 6 months now. I follow the 16:8 IF model. I break my fast at noon and don't eat…

Does not matter. Eat at a deficit 90% of the time, you will lose weight. No matter your Macro split.

Thanks for all your replies! I was bragging about it to everyone i talked to that day! It was crazy how good I felt after eating it. I thought I would felt awful. It was quite the contrary, i had tons of energy. Its a good thing I did heavy bench press that morning. I weighed myself the next morning and i had gained 5#s,…

^^^^This. It was a bad day...

I have been doing IF for about 5 - 6 months now. I have maintained for about 2, I am now trying to slowly gain. I follow the 16-8 95% of the time. My eating window is from noon - 8 that night. If you eat 85% clean it can be tough to fit all your calories into that window simply because you get to eat a lot more. My goal is…

^^^ This. A calorie is a calorie, no matter where it comes from. Keep preachin'! by the way, I'd take the candy bar... That is If It Fit My Macros.
-
^^^This^^^ If you are in it for the long haul and know you have the willpower to get back to your new lifestyle, in the long run, its not even a speed bump. You may gain a pound of water weight is all. I totally agree and follow this "...consistent and staying on target 200 + days a year, don't worry about a handful of…

I will NOT track a thing. Since this is a lifestyle change, this 1 day a year will not break the lifetime of food choices. And i don't want to be "That guy" that can't take a break from logging everything I eat. I am going to enjoy it. No regrets or guilt. This time should be focused on and being thankful for the things we…

I do this, or i place the spoon on the scale, zero the scale, scoop peanut butter with spoon, and then place on scale.

This is my 4th time in the past 11 months IF'ing. This is the longest I have stayed with it (about 2.5 months now). I am getting too good of results with it. When I first started, I thought it was extreme, but I was wrong. I will say, it can be hard to get all the calories needed. I have a desk job, and bring my meals with…

I weight about 135lbs. Intermittent fasting (IF) is just having a period of fasting for a short time. I do a 16:8, meaning I fast for 16 hours and have an 8 hour eating window. You make it fit your schedule. My eating window starts at noon and I don't eat after 8pm. So I basically skip breakfast. It's based on the…

Thanks Melvin. BTW, starting weight was 190 and i'm about 5' 8''.

Finally got the pics posted.

Apparently I do not either.
