No reason to do any of this if you don't want to. There is no scientific data supporting meal frequency for weight loss.

Listen man, "getting too big" is really difficult. People who say that are a running joke in the bodybuilding community. Heavy compound lifting is going to get you bigger and stronger than you've ever been, and you're going to enjoy it. Look at the physique of fitness models... they're muscular, but look lean, aesthetic…

As a previous poster said, your best source of information on IF is going to come from Leangains.com I don't know why you distrust anything related to fasting... the myth of meal frequency and starvation mode have been long disproved. I've been following the IF protocol for almost six months now, and honestly its the best…

3oz of cooked chicken breast contains 26g of protein. A single scoop protein shake with 8oz of milk contains 32g of protein. Hitting your protein mark shouldn't be difficult, especially if its as low as 100g.

Figure out your lean body mass (LBM) and consume between .8 and 1g of protein per pound of LBM. If you can't figure it out exactly, estimate. There are plenty of sources online to help you. Fat consumption should be .45g per pound of LBM. The rest of your calories should be coming from carbs. Contrary to what the media…

Since you already bumped a near 3 week old post... There is no such thing as toning. "Toning" is a made-up term that perpetuates the linked myth of spot reduction. They do not exist. You want nice arms? Good. Lower your bodyfat through exercise and diet, and lift CHALLENGING weights that work the muscles in your arms. This…

This sounds like a poorly balanced diet to me. When I lift and do heavy cardio I feel physically tired, but on a day-to-day basis I feel great, even in a caloric deficit. I would suggest looking into balancing your macros better and/or "cleaning" up your diet and considering the micronutrients in what you're eating as well.

First, I advocate a 5-10min cardio limit pre-lifting as a warmup. Train hard, lift heavy and then do cardio afterwards. Second, the whole "circuit" concept is incredibly overblown in my opinion. Almost everyone I've seen do this uses machines and/or does almost purely isolation movements. Also, not resting to "keep your…

As far as training, I would suggest following a tried and true program like Starting Strength. Follow that up with 30min of cardio post lifting and HIIT on off-days and you should see results come much quicker. As far as diet, you have to be 100% sure that you aren't cheating. Whether it's by accident, or you're sneaking…
