I think this might be your problem. You don't know and I don't know what your intake is, so we cannot say with certainty what your deficit is. Tighten up your logging and you weight loss might then meet your expectations more.

I see you have opened your diary and I see a lot of days with nothing logged. Are you intentionally not logging some days ? Only 7 days I see logged in the last 17 days.

Do you weigh everything and log it accurately ? Are you able to open your diary so we may be able to help identify if you have a logging problem ?

Anthony's grapes seem a bit low on calories. Unless you are Anthony stop using that entry and instead weigh your grapes. 10 grapes can vary massively and I am not convinced with that entry. I have looked over 3 or 4 weeks now, and I think you need to start weighing all your food and logging everything you are eating,…

Yeah those chicken tenders @Queenmunchy mentions - looking at the database entry that is what has been setup for 1 but you are going to have to weight it... could easily be off.

OK I have not got time to look over it all but immediately what striked me is things like Cereal logged (All bran say) but no milk. Are you eating them dry ? And pancakes but no butter or syrup or jam ? You eating them dry too ? I'm sure this is not all that is going on but it does raise my eyebrow immediately. Also your…

Yeah ignore my request as you seem to be posting quite a lot. Maybe then less posting and more logging ?

Yup - as we say "Fake it until you make it". Often I trudge off to the gym and I am hating every single rep of every set. But I have yet to regret knocking them out once they are done.

Why don't you open your diary so we can maybe give some pointers.

Yeah echoing above. It takes seconds to add what I've ate and usually while I'm eating it or just after. Not sure how it is taking you so much longer. Perhaps once you have a good list of recent foods and recipes it will be quicker for you ?

I am a dad of a teenage daughter soon to be two teenage daughters. And my push with my daughters has been to try and push them towards performance. Like "let's work to and run a 5k as fast as we can", "let's learn to climb rocks", "let's climb that hill". I have done that in the hope to give them a believe that their…

Echoing what everyone else is saying sugar is sugar. Fruit obviously has other micro nutrients that your body needs. And has fibre too, so there is some additional benefit for you in having your carbs from fruit.

The internet does not care. Some things really are personal.

Thanks for checking. It worked out ok for me, coming down was a worry cause I was probably a bit more aggressive than ideal, but lifts stayed the same so I am happy with the results. About to hit a bulk again so will be sure to keep in mind to not go all dreamer on it. If I gained more than 2lb a month my radar would go…

Yes that makes sense. Just smaller numbers than mine. With such small numbers you have to be very very accurate in burn. If you walk an extra couple miles you potentially destroy the surplus, etc. Not for me but I understand how some can be that meticulous.

That makes sense. Thanks my numbers are probably wider cause I am a man. It makes sense when going for a smaller bulk amount. I was thinking it was maybe cardio and that is how 1200 people do it too. They add cardio to boost the numbers. Thanks

Awe bless. Don't understand ma numbers, don't understand comment..... Ask somebody else. Public forum and all ya know. I suggest you think about your own numbers and what they do for you rather than moaning about other people diets. As they say. Do you.

I asked you cause it's you that's on squealing about it.

If 2000 is a bulk for you then how is 1600 a cut ? What is you maintenance ? Cause that is not much of a differential to see significant change. The different between my bulk and cut is about 1000 calls.

So cut the chicken in a bar shape. Doh. Let me help http://uk.iherb.com/Epic-Bar-Chicken-Sriracha-Bar-12-Bars-1-5-oz-43-g-Each/64316?CAWELAID=120225380000006580&gclid=CKet9oOm18wCFTUz0wodQC0BJw

I put it in my mouth. Chicken is always better in your mouth.

Is there something intrinsically wrong with being a size 6!? Your gonna have to enlighten me.

Mars bar. Then thinly slice it when frozen.

Ha ha. I've fell for that one with my wife. Not gonna go there. I think 'wow a belly'

That second link looks almost like a study until you actually read the words. It's all theory with no evidence. Are we calling that science now are we ?

Yes agreed especially if you have a lot of excess weight too. But this is special and is limited. I wouldn't be relying on newbie gains for too long.

Gain muscle or lose body fat your going to have to pick one of those goals I'm afraid. If you are in a deficit then your body will not have the raw materials to build muscle and likewise if you are in a surplus your body has no reason to burn fat.

I only use shakes on a bulk and it is purely as a cheaper option to other forms of protein and because it does not fill me up the same as eating a lb of chicken. When I am cutting I am able to meet my protein goal through food and frankly I want the fullness of food that the shakes just do not give me.

Beef jerky is a handy snack and even some nuts and beans too are good I heard. I reckon if I put some chocolate on my chicken I could sell it at a ridiculous mark up. :# Brb trademarking Chockin

Yeah but you didn't so you weren't. Or you weren't burning what you thought you were.
