Bump you intake by 1-200 calories a day for a week and see what happens. Or cutback on the exercise.7-1100 calories is a lot of exercising.. A think a one hour run is around 1000 calories .. Good luck

Welcome to the forums and good luck with your goals ..

had a dream I ate a giant marshmallow.. woke up and my pillow was gone... :) Dreams become goals... goals become reality

Fish oil (omega 3 6 9) is much better tasting than motor oil 10w-30 :)

Crazy thing is it was m daughter that got me on here with the blackberry app... Don't use the app anymore but need a new phone.. It is very helpful when traveling for business to keep in touch with reality on the travel calories..

Ah great .. good to hear.. best of luck to you and all your family

Have read about carb cycling.... do it some when training hard.. i.e. legs day more carbs... off day less carbs... total weekly carbs should be the same.. I think the idea is to keep your body guessing and not fall into a rut of same nutrition and carbs all the time... Probably a good idea if you are going low weekly carb…

Franks Hot Sauce .. I put that _____ on everything...lol BCAA (Branch chain amino acids) since i lift kind of heavy at a cal deficit and don't want to give up muscle... there is no guarantee on the bottle btw :)

40/40/20 is a good % mix for Protein carbs and fats.. As for other supplements a good multivitamin is probably all you need.. 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight is a good range.. Whey protein is the most common and derived from milk... Cottage cheese (same source) but not as convenient. bodybuulding.com is…

Try drinking a pot of black coffee before you work out. If you like the feeling and energy maybe energy pills are the answer. Otherwise keep it simple eat right and exercise right(er) :) Save your money and set a goal. Spend the saved money on a reward.

I have played around with the exercise section on strength training. I have not had much success. Best you can do is an average heart rate over the time you are training and find an online calculator to get the approximate calories. I usually use around 300 calories for my warm up and 50 minutes of lifting. I take little…

No sence in killing ones self trying to get healthy. Listen to your body. I used to have this problem. I usually was way to low on calories and exercising and no fats. Next thing I know I was sick.. Check your fat intake. Fats are fuel for the immune system. I would score my food intake and STOP exercising and get better..…

What are your goals? Looks like you are quite focused on legs.

Full body 3x per week is best for those starting. Split routines etc. are more about recovery time. Keep in mind experienced lifters that lift really hard can "over train" by putting a lot of stress on their system. But if you look hard enough you will find research that says lifting hard and heavy full body 3x per week is…

When you lose weight 10-20% is going to be muscle. When you hit 40 ish you are going to lose somewhere around 1% of your body weight of muscle per year. Yo yo diet up and down and lose muscle that you never regain and then add 20 years does not look so good at 60 :)

Our local YMCA has several machines that similar to a bike but for your arms. They are used to get your heart rate up while you sit in a chair.

Egg Whites are high in protein 3.6g and low in cals 17

I tend to think in terms of large muscle groups and build my program from there. Legs, Chest, Back, Arms and Abs. Research shows that when you think and concentrate on the muscle expanding and contracting during the exercise the overall progress is best. If you check around the web most beginning lifters programs recommend…

Wow...lifting for an hour and then cardio on top... Check out any muscle website and they will tell you it takes 60 minutes before growth hormone drops and cortisol take over. This is a bad thing btw and your bodies response to stress... You might want to check out over training.

Why do you lift in the first place? Do you compete at power lifting or bodybuilding championships? Or just general fitness? If you are lifting for muscle definition and general fitness then you can never run out of muscles to train while giving the aches a rest. Heavy lifting is not the only way to big muscles if that is…

In general free weights require more co-ordination and increased use of stabilizer muscles. This then engages more contraction of extra muscles and could include the core muscles depending on what exercise and the level preformed at. Free weights usually are healthier for your joints when done properly. The central nervous…
