i liked my bullet until it broke after about 3months.... so i bought a new one and that one broke in about 3 weeks :grumble:

i know it sounds strange but even drinking water causes it... i have to wait and drink my water postworkout

Do you train fasted everyday then? I would consider a meal about 2-3hrs before working out a pre workout meal, really no need to eat something immediately prior to working out. BCAAs probably have limited benefits if you are getting in adequate amounts of daily protein [/quote] yes i get up at 7am and workout at 8:30am. my…

I looked at getting that Xtend but it says to drink all day and it has quite a bit of sodium in it .... im thinking of getting some BCAA's to take preworkout as i do not eat before working out.

bump i love avacado and this sound unique must give it a try :) thanks

if you are unsure of why she even asked you then i would ask her. maybe her response can shed some light on the situation. i do find it odd that you hardly ever talk and she wants you to be apart of something so intimate....so she may have a very valid reason.

i have found that vanilla protein powder (in my opinion) sucks in smoothies. i only use it to bake with. for protein shakes i either use chocolate caramel, chocolate, or banana cream.... and they are super YUMMY!!! (i personally use GNC's whey protein)

i eat ALOT of protein... you can look at my diary... to get there i eat eggs, chicken, lean ground beef, low fat cottage cheese, almonds, protein powder and spinach

my bf is a huge chinese food fan so when i first started on here i ate it ALOT!!! from what i could find chicken and broccoli was the best option. low cals chicken for protein and a good veggie carb. i never ate the rice, if i was hungry i would ask for double chicken or broccoli instead of the rice when ordering. i also…

i bought the bodybugg and wore it EVERDAY for months. for me it was inaccurate. it gave me an average TDEE of around 2800 cals but i gain 1lb a week eating only 2400 cals. i just recently purchased a polar ft4 so hopefully it works better fore me.

i get up at 7:30 get me and the kids ready and take them to school. i workout from 8:30-9:30 and then come home and eat my breakfest

i am a bartender/waitress during the day for around 4hrs tue-thurs. and 8hrs monday and friday. i workout 6x a week. heavy lifting and cardio for about 45-65min. i have two children ages 5 and 6. i cooked dinner and clean up the house at night but after that i am either doing homework, reading or on this site. i also run…

YUMMY

i am interested in this as well. i spent almost $200 on a bodybugg and it was not accurate for me. according to it my TDEE was roughly 2800. but i gain 1lb a week eating 2400-2500 cals so that can not be right..... i am intersted in getting something else but i dont want to spend more money on something that is not accurate

i just started traveling and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. however i have two small children ages 5 and 6 so i cant leave alot. if it is just you, i would definetly go!!! it will enhance your life and be a very cultural experience. i would love to be able to travel freely but with a family it just isnt possible. my dream is to one…

not gonna lie some of these sound pretty strange and i often wonder how people came up with these pairings. but i will try anything once. mine are not all that weird (to me anyway) but noone else i am around eats healthy so i always get weird looks.... i love sald with chicken, onion, tomato, cottage cheese, black beans,…

thanks for the tips. i will contuine with 1800 netting around 1600 and keep up my newly found love of HIIT. i dont want to eat any less because i want to maintain my muscle

i just started incoporating some HIIT into my routines and i like it!!! i guess i jus need to keep at it. i just gets frustrating when others do the same things and end up with the body i want in less time. i feel like i am doing something wrong because i dont look toned or muscular at all......JUST FAT :frown:

Wow, two really bad pieces of advice in one post........ (she wasn't asking for your opinion of what looks good, she's looking far advice on reducing her body fat%) To the OP - you might want to revisit your BMR & TDEE calculations here: http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ I plugged in your height, weight & age…

thank you for those that supplied useful information, links and ideas. EBBY I heart you. i guess i will see what happens. i am just frustrated. my boyfriend constently complains that i put working out and my diet ahead of other things in my life and that this is all i do. i just want something to show for all my efforts…

i dont think cutting calories drastically is the way to go either. that is how you lose muscle mass. my BMR is 1485 so i need to eat at least this. plus i exercise 6 days a week. i dont know why eveything tells me my TDEE is 2800. i have used several different website multiple times and my bodybugg and this is the number i…

ok i have read through everyones responses..... i dont feel like i have been all over the place with what i am doing. i bulked for 4months. then began cutting. i want to lose slowly to try and retain muscle so i dropped down to 2000 to see how that went. after about 2months of not losing i dropped down to 1900. then i went…

i have stuck to a plan for months. i bulked for 4months.... cutting has been going on for 3months. i started at 2000. when i didnt lose anything i lowered by 100. then by another 100 settling at 1800 cals. (i am happy here and dont feel hungry) I NET around 1600. alot of people i have talked to have had great results by…

i dont eat my *kitten* off. i am very strict when it comes to eating and eat very clean. i didnt eat white bread i ate whole grain. the only time i slacked was my 10 day vacation which i felt was well deserved

i weigh and measure everything!! and track everything.... i gained 1lb a week at 2400 cals i should lose at 1800 cals. i burn around 300 cals a day(i usually only eat back some exercise cals. netting me at around 1600. my BMR is 1485 and my TDEE is around 2800

well that was helpful and very insightful......thanks :grumble:

i have been at this for months!!! when i started cutting i stayed at 2000 cals for about 2months nothing happened so i dropped down to 1900. nothing was really going on after that for a month so i dropped down to 1800. i have been at 1800 no bread, way less sugar and more complex carbs for only about 2 weeks now

i use alot of sites and often times modify their reciepes to fit my needs and macros. i love creating new recipes. i like chocolate covered katie(desserts) dashing dish (all types of yummy ideas, great protein shakes) jamie easons.(love her monster meatloaf!!) Also i found this very interesting and sometimes helpful. there…
