Well is your disorder any different than someone who eats 3 meals a day at McDonalds? At least you recognize you have gained weight and diet back down, however based on the information you do it at a dangerously low caloric intake. Yes you have an issue, but so do half the people on MFP eating 1200 calories a day doing…

I do mine the previous night, I was doing it all on Sundays but was finding that I was throwing away alot of bad salmon and chicken and questionable mashed potatoes/sweet potatoes. I know its more time consuming but at least I am not throwing away money, and eating clean isn't cheap.

Ok first, MFP's calculator sucks, that being said use this one. http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ Secondly, do not eat back your work out calories, I work out for 3 hours a day on weekends and an hour and a half on weekdays and have never eaten back calories. I have lost plenty of weight, at the ideal rate of 2 lbs a week…

You need at the very least 0.8 grams of protein per lb of lean body mass, what you would weight at 0% body fat or you are going to start metabolizing muscle. Please watch this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcM8HablpZk

Watch this video, this guy is a wizard when it comes to fitness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcM8HablpZk

Most gym trainers are worth their weight in duck terds, most of the time its either someone who simply doesn't eat enough and is shredded but isn't strong enough to pick up their own *kitten*, or someone who has been on trenbolone for 10 years, eating 3 square fast food meals a day, doing only chest and arms and can't…

Yes but both being my weakest point also should be worked at least twice a weak, if I move chest to day 4 and shoulders to day 1, either my leg day will beat up my back day (hamstrings for dead lifts) or vice versa :(. I haven't found my perfect place yet, always a work in progress.

Please keep in mind, the more fat stores your body contains the more water you can retain, that 13lb jump could very well have been from water, by introducing the Mio or anything with artificial sweetener it can cause inflammation in your body and cause you to retain more water. I am not saying stop drinking Mio, Mio is…

I would up your protein to reduce the amount of lean body mass lost, when your body is in a deficit it is nearly impossible to maintain lean body mass and strength. It obviously doesn't just fall off, but the lower your lean mass the lower your basal metabolic rate. BCAA's do help with maintaining (this is my opinion and…

Pancake syrup is great, the rest I wouldn't feed my dog, I don't have a dog.

I lost over 100 pounds and now am trying to build muscle, and I have my concerns over gaining weight but at the end of the day... to build muscle you need to be in a surplus, you will gain fat, then just cut weight again. Working out at maintenance to build muscle is very difficult as you may not have enough calories to…

I know I won't maintain, I would become complacent and go full potato. But I weight train 7 days a week, so I will always be eating with a goal to get bigger, or leaner. Maintaining just is not an option for me, I want beast mode, not obese mode ..... again.

I have tried it on two occasions and have abandoned it for my typical bro-split. Chest/Tri, Back/Bi, Delts/Traps, Legs. My chest and delts are my weak points and I seem to negatively impact my performance in one area or the other by trying to do them the same day. One each day I do the associated big 4, trying to do…

Once a week when I am cutting, I have a re-feed day, basically you double your carbohydrate intake without adjusting your other macros, yes you will go over your calories but it helps keep your metabolism in check as it will start to drag *kitten* when on a constant low calorie diet. Body builders have been doing this…

Cookies and Cream Quest bars taste like they are made of 100% candy, rad. The only protein I use is MTS whey.

Think my Gold's is 30 a month, worth every penny in my opinion.

Your calories are entirely to low for your statistics, opening your diary would help us understand where your macro nutrients stand, I know everyone wants to believe a calories is a calorie but your macro nutrients ultimately effect how your body will respond to the over all calories. Your body cannot synthesize a protein…

An over weight person, 10 weeks easily, at your weight ....... it would take quite a while as you must be at a fairly low BF%.

Your protein is way to low, and you are most likely hungry because the vast majority of your carbs are from beverages which are very fast absorbing and require very little digestion. I suggest cutting out those calorie dense beverages for water or a diet beverage, that will alot much more room for foods that provide…

I prefer to stay sane and energetic, there is absolutely no reason to go on crazy diets that wear your body down. If you establish a healthy fat range to keep your hormones in check and other associated functions, enough protein to maintain lean body mass, and simply adjust your carbs accordingly you will have plenty of…

You are young, forget the past, wake up every day to be the strongest version of yourself. If you are OCD, use it to better yourself, get into weight training. Go on you tube, visit these channels, Strength Camp, Physiques of Greatness, Candito Training HQ, use your disadvantage as an advantage. Stop blaming others and…

Orange Triad Multi Vitamin Fish Oil Vitamin D MTS Whey Protein Cellucore Alpha Aminos Intra Workout

I would use the calculator on IIFYM.com , MFP seems to set protein far to low, and overall calories in general.

Welcome Mike, we are all here to help. You may want to revise your macros from a better calculator, iifym.com has a decent one. Based on your stats you could cut weight at 3000-3200 calories a day for quite some time, I would set your fat at 80 grams to start, protein at 180, and the rest would be carbs (around 430 grams).…

MTS Whey from tigerfitness.com has amazing macros and an even more amazing taste, I was using gold standard and dymatize for ever, but MTS is just amazing, and they don't amino spike their protein, it's 100% legit.

How can you all simply acknowledge what is happening here with comments like oh keep up the good work, stay strong, blah blah blah. I rarely post on these forums, but reading this ..... This person is being verbally and mentally assaulted while trying to better them self ...... You all should be ashamed, she needs to walk…

Well not sure if this will help, but your protein is way to low, some days you have logged 30 grams or less, you are more likely to lose lean body mass than fat with those macros. While you continue to shed lean body mass, you will also be lowering you basal metabolic rate. I would fix your protein issue first, that should…

Well as far as the pull ups example goes, you will generally get stronger when you first start lifting, coupled with weight loss you are now lifting less as you lose weight. The increased ease of doing them is a result of both strength and lower body weight. However you will plateau and no longer get stronger on a deficit,…

For weight training most would recommend a balanced routine, I prefer to focus on compound movements first in all of my routines as they are very good core movements and strengthen several areas (i.e. Back day - Dead Lifts, Chest Day - Bench Press, Shoulder Day - Standing Overhead Press, Leg Day - Squats and Romanian Dead…

I have replaced my pre workout with.... well nothing but coffee, and get the same intensity as if I was on 2 scoops of C4. I do however take a pre work out shake of MTS whey, almond milk, and 100 grams of banana, OMG ITS GOOD.
