Top Ramen and tuna, just dont add in the sodium package.

It's all about diet.

Great Advice!! Lift Heavy and get Results!!! You wont bulk up unless you eat a surplus, heavy lifting is a great way to retain muscle while losing weight, thus lowering your bodyfat percentange which is what you need to concentrate on to lose the belly.

Strength training will help keep muscle loss to a minimum, so keep it if your goal is to have a leaner physique.

If you are using the MFP method, you are suppose to net the number MFP original gave you. So if your goal is 1200 calories a day and you burn 200 calories from exercise, you need to eat 1400 calories to net 1200.

:huh: If calories in vs calories out doesn't apply to you, then why are you even counting calories for?

^ Question answered.

What she needs to do is make her own MFP account and start logging, buying a food scale is a must as well, HRM is also a good investment.

Our body is smart and can adapt; a state of homeostasis, so shocking your system by adding more calories might not be a bad thing to do. Also make sure you've got a well rounded diet, as a vegetarian make sure you get enough fats a protein. Protein will help retain your muscles while being in a deficit and fat will help…

I think it's sexy when a women can eat a lot and still keep a nice figure.

That is a deceiving picture. The picture of the guy has probably been photoshoped, plus he's indoors with good lighting while the picture of the girl looks more natural. If the girl had people to photoshop her picture and bring her inside to a place with good lighting, it might be a more fair comparison.

If you're bulky, eat less and get smaller.

Basically what she said ^

High bar squats http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoZWgTrZLd8 Low bar squats http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fmrKmJMQnw Just incase you dont have your form correct. Pointing your toes out is for high bar squats and it allows you to go pass parallel, this works your quads out more. Low bar squats, you point your toes forward…

MFP is designed for you to eat back your exercise calories so that you can keep your original deficit, this is because MFP calculates your deficit before exercise and when you exercise you increase that deficit. The cardio machine are not really accurate on calories burned so some people eat a portion of them back, the…

Can't have chivalry and equality at the same time, so yes it's dead or at the least almost dead.

Probably because you lay in bed all day when your depress rather than being happy and active.

If I never forced feed myself I would be naturally thin. I can only get a gut if I tried, which I did because someone told me I wasn't bulk untill I had a gut, scrawny boy mentality.:tongue: But yes, I think people who are naturally skinny just don't eat much, even if they think they do.

IMO I think it's only okay to get plastic surgery if you have some type of deformity and just want to look normal. I don't think I would every marry a chick who went under the knife or got a boob job just took look more attractive, kind of says something about their personality.

You dont have to eat 100% "healthy" to get good results.

Maybe your hormones were out of whack from being on a low fat diet. Fats in my understanding, helps regulate your hormones, lubricates your joints and the other stuff you mentioned.

Breastfeeding burns calories so eat those calories back and your kid comes first, so you got to eat so your supply wont run dry.

Yes, I use this method for both cutting and bulking.

If you dont know how many calories you are actually burning, may I suggest to you to try out the TDEE approach. This method includes your workout already so that you dont have to eat back excersie calories, and you just eat the same amount everyday. Many people have had success with this method. Here is a link if you are…

I do it all the time. 1% Milk (or almond milk) + protein (vanilla or chocolate) + ground coffee beans + (sometimes peanut butter). I find that mixing the ground coffee beans and peanut butter together with my protein makes it taste like reese's peanut butter cups.

Most people will find that when they replenish their glycogen stores, they will look more lean compared to being depleted of glycogen.

Cutting down carbs will deplete your glycogen stores making your muscles look smaller. So maybe it might not actualy be muscle loss but if you're worried, increase your protien or just cut calories and forget about carb cycling.

Macros are important (mostly protein) but not as important as calories. At the end of the day it's calories in vs calories out.

Hey bra, sometimes logic doesn't win in these forums.

If she has a flirty look when she says it.
