Eat more. 1200 is not enough.

All that fiber has got to be doing a number on your plumbing. 64 grams per day is a lot.

Yo, Wolverine's got puny little stick legs though. I don't care if he deadlifts 4 plates, dude's legs look like he did a winter in Warsaw in the 30's.

He has some sort of Mediterranean genetics.

I use protein powder to supplement my daily protein intake because chewing that much chicken is a literal pain in the neck and jaw and teeth. I also have a quest bar once a day for the fiber content. Other then that, whole foods, baby. All day, erryday. No bullisht, no fillers. The protein brand doesn't really matter. TBH…

I do it every day because after two months it became part of my routine. I mean, fuark it. I'm either going to get fatter and resign myself to wearing sweatpants in public like the rest of America or I'm going to build my body to be the person that I feel is representative of the 'real' me. Besides, my girlfriend is two…

I usually pop an Alleve or Excedrine Migrane and drink a liter of Pedialyte. That helps with the hangover. So does spicy Mexican food. Or I just don't drink. In fact, I haven't had a drop since April. Don't really miss it.

How about hiking? Load up a backpack and a couple friends and go out for a 3-10 mile hike on the local trails. It'll be outdoors, it's not too sweaty of an endeavor, there's lots of things to take pictures of, and your attention span can wander. If it's a social or date activity as well, then you could always have…

Battlefield 4 and The Last Of Us remastered are current favorites, though when Destiny comes out on 9/9, all bets are off. I fully expect to be parked in my lounge chair indefinitely.

Weight loss isn't a linear process and should not be treated as such. It is the absolute WORST of the metrics involved in body composition change, and yet it is the one most people judge themselves by. Here are some questions: 1. Do you feel different? 2. Do your clothes feel different? 3. Are you stronger now then you…

You're going to have to pick one to focus on. Lose fat or gain muscle. Doing both simultaneously is only going to frustrate you. So, no cardio. Got it. 12k of cycling is a good cardio workout. Okay, here's where things get dicey. Three days a week, focus on compound movements. If you haven't done much strength wise, then…

Man, body weight exercises are perfect for this setup. Pushups, pullups, reverse rows, Handstand push-ups etc. Get yourself a couple of milk jugs and fill them with sand. Keep them in the truck and you can use them for biceps curls and shoulder work. Prisoner squats and burpees are great for building strength and…

PONCH WAS FAR BETTER THAN JON.

This is not what I thought this topic was going to be about.

Some people can have one beer in six months and be hardly affected. For others a single sip of alcohol can lead to a lifetime of dangerously drunken decisions. I'm not saying food is an addiction, but the behavior patterns that surround it can mimic addiction dependent on the person. Everyone is different. Diet is largely…

76 days.

You can use a weekly formula if you like. Most track daily because it's easier to more closely monitor. Different strokes.

It's fuarking cold six months out of the year, and you can't park in Harvard yard. (Because there isn't parking. Foot traffic only. They even make you walk your bike.)

Uh, yes? Trying to understand your logic for posting this question as it doesn't seem well thought out.

TDEE - 20% Or 250-600 cal below TDEE More than that and you'll catabolize muscle tissue. Be patient. Fat loss takes time. Adjust numbers every 5 lbs.

It's not a myth in the respect that the body will hold on to fat stores, it is a myth in the respect that the body will stay the same weight if you lower your calories enough. The body will lose weight if you lower the calories, but it won't lose the weight from fat. See:…

I'm gonna friend the hell out of you.

She doesn't have any good pics of herself. ;)

It doesn't matter where your caloric intake comes from, but body composition is most aesthetically pleasing when you are allowed to lose fat slowly and gradually. Adipose tissue isn't the body's first source of caloric replenishment. In fact, when it comes to starvation approaches to dieting, the body's first source of…

Sure, man.

Are you eating enough protein and fat to fill you up around dinner? So, the chemical that causes hunger pangs, ghrelin, is secreted by the body once you've been accustomed to a regular eating schedule. If you've always eaten a snack or something sweet around bedtime, then likely you're experiencing a flood of ghrelin…

Insanity is essentially an hour long HIIT session. That being said, know your limits and push yourself, but make sure you're doing the exercises to your ability. 80lbs overweight is a lot of extra and will be almost impossible to lose with exercise alone over two months. You shouldn't expect to look like one of those…

Too much dude for me.

Heeeelllllllllooooooo, Nurse!

I dunno, that's a pretty good lookin baby. 9.
