This made me LOL hard. :laugh:

Congrats on losing all your weight without counting calories. I also did that once and ended up undereating and losing a bunch of muscle. It left me skinny fat and I wasn't very happy. After doing a 15 week bulk, this time I'm counting calories during my cut. And guess what? I'm almost down to the same low weight I…

Honest question - what's the "whole picture." I don't know the OP's goals, but I'm only counting calories during bulking/cutting cycles. Are we talking macros, etc? Cuz I feel I have a pretty good handle on them so I don't have to count during maintenance.

OP, you are correct. Counting calories is not the only way to achieve a healthy lifestyle. And it may be pointless for you to do so as a 19 year old who is extremely active. So.........don't count. The end.

I actually enjoy the DOMS. So I must be crae crae! :love:

Yep. I only log during bulk/cutting cycles.

I have this for breakfast pretty much every morning at work. I don't see a problem with it. It's delicious and I meet my calorie and macro goals every day. Soooooo...I fail to see a problem.

OP - agree with above - if you're not logging then you have no idea how much you are actually eating. But I would like to add that it's entirely possible to lose on 2,000 calories. I'm 5'8 and am losing on 1950 - but I log everything. I maintain at 2200.

What 3laine said. Most of us use some form of whey protein in our daily diets. It will not hinder weight loss as long as you stick with your deficit. Also yes, around .8 - 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight is fine. Now that that's out of the way, 3laine is also right that you cannot build muscle while eating in a…

Because after reading your post I'm guessing you think I'm uneducated because I love the crap out of processed food. FWIW, if you projected a holier than thou attitude at me in real life, i'd probably make fun of you too. :wink:

I think you look great as is. But if you wanna bulk a little more, go for it.

Maybe you have easy going kids. Or maybe you really are a dictator. I think allowing a kid to be disappointed and cry is OK. Not drama.

Psssssssssst...no one has to wear them... But you can it you want. :wink:

Most people don't know this, so quoting bc truth.

But you, you I like. :heart:

Ok, that makes it official. I don't like you. :brokenheart:

I'd just like to point out that men wear heels too.

I'm tall and super cute. So pooh on you.

This seriously made my day my friend. Great video! :flowerforyou:

No she won't die without bread. But if her kids like it why can't they eat it?

You're becoming overly obsessed with food and calories and need to calm down and just enjoy the chips.

1st post? Bravo!

Please, please, please do your own research before you deny your children of all delicious breaded things! Bread is not unhealthy. Pretty please? :flowerforyou:

Ding ding ding! Threads like these make me :yawn:.

:yawn: ETA: Motivation and Support forum? Really?

:heart:

Eat more, exercise less. Also find some form of exercise you enjoy.

How the heck does it shrink the arteries?
