Are you guys rivals in an office softball league or something?

Peanut butter and apples is the best combo.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

190 grams is way overkill for you. However, it is definitely not a dangerous amount. For your weight, 100-120 g would suffice. Anything over that is probably not adding any benefit and might just make your wallet lighter as protein sources are generally more expensive. Better to use those calories towards carbs to help…

Correct. I just didn't feel to need to be pedantic.

Well, if you get to the point of being dehydrated, it can get REALLY bad. The 8 glasses a day is a pretty arbitrary number. The "special snowflake" idea does come into play here. It depends on how active you are, the weather, how much you sweat normally, size, and a number of different issue. Luckily, your body has really…

Dogmatic ideologs

Or all of the Internets! LOL

In. Reading articles while eating a correctly made authentic NY bagel.

If you don't want people to bother you at the gym, wear headphones. You don't even have to listen to music. For some reason, people are a lot less likely to interrupt you if you are wearing them.

No! I prefer Wendy's.

Coastal Connecticut: 1) Nor'easters which can cause bad flooding/storm surge in spring/summer and blizzards/ice storms in winter. 2) Hurricanes - Irene and Sandy are the most recent and notable. Although, relatively rare up here. Other than that, not much. The Northeast is relatively benign when it comes to natural…

I second this. You probably don't have much muscle mass to start. At least not enough to look "ripped" (this term is pretty subjective though) at a relatively healthy bf%. However, maybe a picture of what you look like now and then a picture of the type of look you want would help us understand your goal better.

This. But if you're eating a lot of bananas, broccoli and potatoes like you said then you are probably getting enough.

I've had a lot of success with Wendler's 5/3/1 programs. I usually do his "Boring But Big" program when I want to bulk.

This is life. People judge you on your appearance. It's not just weight either. I've had to wear glasses since I was 3. I wore glasses when glasses were not "cool," "fashionable" or "hipstery". I got picked on and bullied all the time just for wearing glasses. It was assumed I was just a nerd, loser, etc. It was funny when…

ON-ON!

I really don't understand what you are arguing against. Perhaps you are just trolling or something? BMI was meant to analyze a large population. It is not a useful tool for an individual. It does not distinguish muscle from fat from bone. How can you defend this as a useful tool for an individual's health? Also, it's used…

Well, if the formula includes BMI, it's fundamentally flawed from the start.

Do not follow this advice!

Sounds like you are doing very well! I wouldn't change anything. Just be persistent and patient.

Back in my day, I used to have to walk 5 miles in 3 feet of snow up hill both ways in 100 degree heat and 500% humidity to figure out my calories.

I used to take Prilosec, but take Nexium OTC now. Nexium seems to work a little better and has little, if any, noticeable side effects for me. I've suffered from acid reflux since I was a teenager. There are many causes of it. Being overweight is one. Also, another major factor is stress so losing weight might not help at…

And straw mans are the last resort of the intellectually dishonest.

Paleo is just a fad/trendy diet that has been disproven over and over again. It is no more effective than any other diet when controlled for calories. First priority is to figure out your daily calorie allowance and adhere to it using a scale and honesty. Second priority is to figure out your macro and fiber goals. Third…

We can probably offer better advice if you make your diary public. What is your daily calorie goal set at?

No.

My advice is to just enjoy yourself. It's vacation! You are not supposed to stress about vacation....because it's VACATION! Go out and order a burger if you want and log it if you want. Try to stay somewhat close to your calorie goal, but be more lenient on yourself than usual. I personally do not worry about logging at…

Snake Oil!....CICO! ....SMH

As a Jets fan, we would pick both and play them at the same time. Ticket sales will go up. Hope will rise. However, someone will make a bonehead play that ruins the season. There will be callings to fire the head coach and GM, and probably the OC for good measure. Tebow and Manziel's careers will be ruined and they will…
