Hey no worries man I didn't take it personally, I'll admit was getting a little passive aggression out in my last comment anyways haha. If you don't mind me asking, what does your workout routine look like to maintain the shape you're in? And/or how long did it take you to get there? I can see my oblique lines and my top…

Did any of you guys actually read the article or did you just read what other people have written and decided it was all BS and wanted to rant a little? I thought the article was interesting and might be of interest to some people to read. I'm not a nutritionist, and AGAIN the article was about WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATES IN…

No not at all, I'm 6'0" and 200 lbs, plus or minus, most likely minus a few. I did err on the side of caution with those settings as well when I selected sedentary instead of light activity which is probably more accurate. I did also set it to a 2 lb per week goal when its more realistic that I aim to lose a lb or lb and a…

My calorie goal is from MFP but I plan on buying some calipers and an electronic scale soon to better calculate my TDEE and have a more personalized calorie goal. I'm calculating the calories burned from the exercises on MFP but I time my bike rides and have also mapped the entire route on google maps for distance. I even…

Thanks for your reply, I only ate that this morning because I didn't feel like I could stomach much more, I do add one whole egg to 3 eggs whites only so I get a little extra fat in there. I left a half lb of steak and veggies to make for a stir fry after my workout and I still haven't gotten hungry enough to want to make…

My general breakfast (which is a massive plate of food and keeps me full until post work-out meal at 2) consists of egg whites and a veggie mix scrambled. Every week I get 4 various bell peppers, a large onion, about 10-12 white or crimini mushrooms, and 1 package of Aidell's andouille sausage and chop it all up. 1/4 of…

Hey Merina, thx for your response. The link I cited however is only dealing with Whey Protein Isolates in supplements and particularly viscous shakes etc. It is very true that yes, the body can continually break down and absorb more (and nearly all) of the protein from a nice, tender, juicy rib-eye. One of the solutions…

Take a peek at that article. This is educational, not a crack at anyone who likes their huge protein shakes. If you could **physiologically** get more protein from drinking 2 shakes, an hour apart, instead of one big one, would you not agree that would be the smart thing to do?

It's my understanding that the calorie amount it creates for you when you first put all your information in is what you should generally try to eat daily to get to your goal weight. Never a bad thing to be a little under that limit though because I think the daily calorie deficit can be a little more than what myfitnesspal…

Good luck with Insanity Brittany it's a killer workout routine but at the end of every session you know you just got a great workout. For all the pushup and arm related exercises like the push-up jacks or suicide jumps, just simply do pushups from your knees and when that gets too hard to do, catch your breath and do a few…
