i bet he doesnt even know what a squat or deadlift is chicken legs for the loss it sounds like you are way ahead of this guy, and that may be hard for him to understand lol

its perfectly normal to favor one side ever so slightly dont sweat it my whole left side of my body is bigger and more defined than my right. Chest, biceps, quads, hams, calves, EVERYTHING

its not suppose to be spot on, its just suppose to give you an estimate so you can plan your eating better but yea, that sounds about right

my workouts are focused around intensity as well and i'd have to agree that MFP is way below the actual cals burned my workouts are usually 90+ minutes, actually prolly closer to 2 hours honestly These are normally my guesses on the cals burned for each of my gym days Tuesdays (Chest/Shoulders/Tris) - 450+ cals Thursdays…

i know im not the only Florida Gator die hard here!!! Leggoooo, cant wait for the season to get started!!

get on a legit program like starting strength or stronglifts eat lots of food, mainly in carbs and protein, a really good method is 40% carbs, 40% protein, and 20% fats, thats a rather lean bulk hardest thing for him will be to eat more, try to get him to start logging his food using MFP start at 3000 cals until he can…

My names Andrew, and i am currently wrapping up my cut, less than a month to go!! But like some of you know this is one of the most important months to absolutely kill it in the gym AND ESPECIALLY in the kitchen. My goal is to get 195lbs, but i believe i am very close to that already so i may shoot for 190lbs, i wont be…

gotta eat big to become big, and thats a fact

i had my first real cut my first semester of college, it was the first time in my life i had complete control of my diet and i had to make the most of it my workouts were focused on intensity and i loved it, but i was only eating 2000 cals on workout days and like 1700 cals on off days. That was a HUGE mistake, i lost most…

post workout meal: - 2 scoops whey in water - 8 oz 93/7 beef - 1 fiber bar or two servings of a low cal cereal pre workout meal: - 2 scoops whey in water - 1 cup of oats - 1 fiber bar

either eat fattier foods to make up for the cals or sack up (yes, i realize you are a woman) and force feed yourself at the end of my bulk i was eating 4500 cals everyday, AND i did it in an 8-9 hour feeding window. You really do not have an excuse to not eat 1200 cals

rest days are very key to not burnout your cns, make sure you are taking 2-3 rest days a week in some cases of over training (i use this word very lightly), less exercise is better than more

as long as you are logging your exercise to the best of your ability you should be following what MFP says. Once you log the exercise it will automatically adjust the amount of food you need to eat for the day

low GI carbs i eat the same preworkout meal every gym day. all meals pre meals are eaten 1.5-2 hours before the gym -2 scoops whey in water -1 cup of oats -1 fiber bar but it used to be: -2 scoops whey in 2 cups of 1% milk -2 servings of cheerios be careful with the milk tho, it makes some people nauseous

are we talking a day off from the gym or a day off from dieting?? regardless, i'd say yes on both off days for dieting are important to keep you sane, trust me if you diet hardcore for 3 weeks straight you are very likely to lose it one day and splurge A LOT, so much so that the 3 weeks you just worked hard for could be…

i swear this question gets asked a few times every week search for these things people, it gets repetitive saying the same things over and over and over

sorry it took me a while to respond, didnt know people were still responding thanks again to everyone and just to let you know, you will be getting a new pic soon(my profile pic is the newest), i am dieting extra hard right now to meet my cutting goals so i can begin bulking back up

your net calories needs to be the number that MFP recommends you hit, or at least very close to it but if you are not tracking your exercise as well as your food you could be in a un healthy calorie deficit. the exercise you track doesnt have to be spot on, but it at least needs to be close, then you will be able to eat…

spot reducing is a myth. get on a healthy diet, get to a healthy calorie deficit, dont go overboard with the cardio (i see this the most honestly) and fat will come off from all over your body, and yes eventually, it will come off of your legs as well good luck!

frozen chicken breast is cheap, you could always buy a fat beef like 73/27, and just wash out some of the fat with hot water (google for more info) peanuts, almonds, peanut butter fiber bars, wally world brand is $2 for a box of 5 and i think thats a hell of a deal store brand cereal that is low sugar is something to look…

i know a lot of vegetarians that take pea protein shakes, maybe worth looking into?? also whey is not needed in your diet, it helps meet your protein goal, true, but eating whole foods rich with protein is more filling and also has a better amino acid profile than whey depending on the whole food good luck!!

the best protein bars you will ever make, i guarantee it. Not my recipe, but i have made these once before and they are AWESOME!!! can be a little expensive to get all the ingredients but well worth it in my opinion I got a low carb and a high carb one -1c milk or 1c unflavored almond milk (higher v lower carb) -1.5 scoops…

nothing really i still have the occasional soda i still have the occasional pizza i still have the occasional cake (yes, i said cake!) its all about moderation people!! Im not eating more then 2 slices of pizza, i usually have 1 medium sized piece of cake, and a lot of the time i don't even finish my soda, when i do have…

are you tracking your exercise on MFP? if you do it should be telling you to eat more cals those days you run so much

you are suppose to eat back some of those calories you burned from exercise if you burned 400 cals doing your exercise, plus whatever you burned throughout the day doing normal activities that could put you at 600-700 calories deficit, which is counter productive and will make you plateau and/or gain weight you are not…

i used to burn over a 1000 calories doing the hell month (month 2) but i personally already sweat A LOT as it is to begin with

complex carbs(good) > simple carbs(not bad, but not as good as complex) a nice combo of cardio & weight training is the best option. Weights first, cardio last. plateaus could be anything, not a good lifting routine, not using the muscles properly throughout the lift, diet could be lacking. If you are trying to lose weight…

i normally triple, sometimes quadruple the amount MFP recommends for protein. Aggravates the crap outta me that MFP recommends carbs so dam high and protein is so low

it shouldnt affect your exercse drink more water than usual and bring more clothes than usual for the extra sweating you will do i wish my friends had more balls, i would play basketball outside in any kind of heat, dont matter to me as long as i stay hydrated and sit down to take a break erry now and then

hands down i eat the same things everyday i call them my staples: -whey -93/7 beef -fiber bars -1% milk
