My green breakfast shake is always the biggest unless I have a cheat meal and dine out for dinner.

This would be my suggestion also. Mix the pasta, sauce, and the sauteed spinach/mushroom/garlic together for an excellent dish.

Over the past 20 years I have tried around 10 different protein powders, but I always come back to Optimum Nutrition Gold 100% whey. Hard to beat in price, taste, BCAA, low card, and high protein per serving. I buy it from Amazon for about $45 for 5.5 pounds with free shipping. Dutch Chocolate is quite good. It seems to be…

Since you are active you should shoot for about a 500 cal deficit each day from your TDEE. You can eat 250 calories less and burn 250 calories or you can eat all your calories and burn 500 thru exercise. 500 a day X 7 days = 3500 a week and that is roughly 1 pound a week loss. Fat and muscle weigh the same. A pound is a…

A cheat DAY is not such a good idea. You can easily go over your TDEE by thousands (plural) of calories. However I do have a cheat meal 1-2 times a week.

It may be time to change your focus. You can lose more fat, faster and more consistently with resistance training than with pure cardio. If you dont have access to a gym or weights there are plenty of body weight work outs that you can find. Change up your work out oftten so your body is always trying to adapt.

I always have a "general" idea of what I will be eating so I log the night before or the day of. I find the sooner I do it the easier it is to adjust my ratios to hit my targets. I would never eat all day long and then enter before dinner because I have not left myself many options and could esily already be over my…

Not exercising on fast days would negate half the benefits. of course you would work out. In the fasted state the body taps into fat stores for energy production which is kind of the point.

If I was on 1200 calories a day I would do something like this: Breakfast -500 Lunch - 400 Dinner - 300 Always have a balance of carbs/protien/fats per your ratios. If you want snacks also, then: Breakfast - 400 Snack - 100 Lunch - 300 Snack - 100 Dinner - 300 Again with a balance. To get the most fat burning out of your…

The key is "lifting heavier weights and more reps". That means you may have a good case of muscle soreness (DOMS) If so you body will automatically pull in and hold more water to repair. Once the muscles are repaired you will lose 3-5 pounds almost over night in water as the by products are flushed out.

If your bf is 30% or greater you can lose 10 pounds the healthy way. Cut your calories by 500 per day and burn 500 calories per day in exercise. That will put you in the 8-10 lb loss range. Good luck.

This is what is refered to as a skinny fat person. You are close to weight goals and size but your fat to muscle ratio is off. It is very easily to fall within your weight range but have excess body fat. To truly change and be less squishy you need lean muscle gains AND lower body fat. It is hard to lose fat weight (by…

Fish burps are an indication of inferior quality fish used. Take a look at Nordic Naturals. They are far better that just about anything else on the market and #1 for a reason.

If you are considered obese (over 30% body fat) it is a very good program to jumpstart a rapid weight loss and I would reccomend it. I did it for 3 months and lost over 50 pounds. By then I felt much better and my mobility was improving so I phased it out and moved on to more real food and regular exercise. I could not…

For fat loss...after. Here is why. You muscles use glycogen as its first source of energy. Once the glycogen stores are depleted you muscle move on to metablising fat for energy. Typical glycogen store last between 2-3 hours. It it has been 3+ hours since your last meal your body will tap into fat stores sooner.
