Seems like you're eating below your daily recommended calories intake. Also your fat intake is also quite low. Try to aim for those recommended numbers for the next 7 - 14 days, see if there's any improvements

Like most suggested, #1 choice would be lots of fiber, from veggies/fruits/grains #2 Protein, atleast during lunch and dinner or during a snack (Peanut butter sandwich(Whole grain bread) #3 Fat, healthy source of fat, yogourt, olive oil, nuts, coconut oil, sesame oil, are those that I consume. #4 Water. You're not the only…

No no, i was referring to this post ; "Midnight snack/desert" - the desert part. I understand that bodybuilder consume snack like cottage cheese, PB sandwich, eggs whites or potatoes before beds.

Best. T-shirt. Ever.

bro, That's crazy talk. You shouldn't advise someone to go down your path. It is not healthy.. 500 calories a day for a male? Please seek help. And please, whatever you do.. do not snack/eat 1-2 hours before bed time.

Just think of it as your cheat meal for the week, keep the rest of the week on track. Nothing to worry about.

I do cardio 3 times a week (mon,wed,fri - HIIT 30min), Lift 6 days a week (about 45m-1h30), abs twice a week(mon,friday - 30min).

I love to cook for others. I can take the whole day to cook a Sunday roast and don't see it as a chore. It's more passion than anything else really.. grew up watching Cooking shows and have a few chefs in the family. Weirdly enough, I didn't pursue the career due to the long hours it demands and the stressful environment.

That's unhealthy, they weight you'll be losing using that diet will be gained back as fast as you've lost them. You should aim for 1lbs a week and if you work hard enough, 2 lbs a week is possible but very tough and demanding. Everyone that I know, wants that body for the summer.. it's quite sad to be honest. You should be…

when your muscles are sore. Good day at the gym.

Really? I read that for women, BF of 27%+ is considered overweight. Not sure where she got her information from but hey, she's a doctor right? hmm.. And you're right, anywhere between BF of 18%-22% IS healthy.

You should try to track these instead, Carb, Protein, fat, sodium, fiber.

Bodybuilding.com have tons of weight training programs for males, females and the body type you'd want to achieve.

Add pasta, potatoes, brown rice into your diet, those will help you reach the 2000 cals quite fast. Like some said, you should do less cardio, 30min X 3 days/week and start to look for strength programs that you might like. Strength lifting 3-5 times a week, depending on your schedule. Keep up the protein and carbs daily…

You'll gain a bit of fat whether you like it or not, It's part of the "bulking" process. You can always minimize that by eating very lean protein and food. Keep in mind that you still need a minimum of fat in your diet (Olive oil, nuts, avocados, fish oil, omega 3+.. ) But the more muscly you'll gain at the end of your…

Sometimes the first 5-10 pounds are just water weight. Keep going, although to me, 60min cardio everyday seems a bit excessive to me. I'd reduce it to 5 to max 6 days (30-45min) have a day off to rest. As long as you keep within your daily macro (cal/prot/fat/sodium/fiber) you should be seeing result in a few weeks. You…

Why would she needs to lift weights like any other women? If she can lift heavy, that's the way to go. The more muscle you have, the more your body will burn in calories. All I have to say to you is, YOU GO GIRL! LIFT THOSE HEAVY WEIGHTS!! ROAR!

I guess if he finds that what you do are "fake" exercise, you should ask him to join a gym and get a trainer + Nutritionist for about 3 months. Worked for many people close to me. Once the 3 months are over, he'll see the changes and the new fond strength he gained in that time frame. For most guys out there, physical…

I always believed that having a cheat "MEAL" helps to reboot your metabolism to full throttle. I often have a cheat meal every 3-4 pounds I lose, like many said, it also helps to keep you sane during your journey to a better and healthier lifestyle. Now, a cheat meal doesn't mean you should be eating junk food that has…

I agree with what justsomerando said. Forget about programs you see on TV, most of the time it doesn't work. If you have time to go to YMCA, just start doing 30min cardio session and starting lifting weights. Don't be shy to ask around the gym for help (from others gym members). Most of the time people are willing to help…

The best time to weight yourself is at the end of the week (sunday morning) after you went to the loo and before you eat anything. Weighting yourself everyday is really not accurate and is quite depressing watching it go up and down.
-
Have a cheat meal on sunday something high in fat and calories, it'll disturb your metabolism. Basically your body get used to what you eat and do as exercises, you just need to stirr it up once awhile. Give it a go for 2-3 weeks see if you make any progress, if not. try something else, longer training session or add a few…

Like many said, it's probably you don't consume enough fat. Olive oil and Fish oil capsules should balance things out for you.

I don't think he's trying to bulk. What you're doing is great as far as exercising goes. Like you said, you'll have to work on your dieting to keep up with 2100 calories. And that's a lot of food. Simple and Easy choices would be to add Brown rice and either sweet/regular potato to your diet. That'll boost up your calories…
