carbohydrates and protein have 4 calories for every gram(roughly) and fat has 9 calories for every gram. 52.5 x 4 = 210 20 x 4 = 80 22.4 x 9 = 201.9 =491.6 That entry is not correct. You can ask anything you want, anywhere you want. Don't be afraid to ask what's in your food. It's going in your body, you have a right to…

Use dumbbells then. Smith machine is going to hurt you in the long run.

What your heart rate monitor is doing is doing a really rough calculation based off a formula for heart rate during exercise. Obviously it's incredibly inaccurate since they have to average different types of exercises. Anyway back to my point, you don't burn calories because your heart rate is elevated, your heart rate is…

Doing most exercises on a smith machine isn't ideal. It forces you into an unnatural range of motion. You will actually injure yourself faster on a smith machine then not on it. I know it seems like the opposite. If you're too intimidated by a barbell, use dumbbells for bench press, upright rows and shoulder press. They're…

Do you weigh your food? You're probably way off on what you think you are eating, most people are. Don't just assume when you consume something you're consuming 1 serving, people typically eat 2-3 times what a company lists as a serving on a container. Try buying a food scale, it's pretty cheap. Were you…

I wouldn't worry too much about your macros right now. When I had my jaw surgery I ate lots of mashed potatoes with gravy and had a protein shake or two. I ate some pasta too, you can get egg noodles those have lots of protein in them. It was a little harder to eat then just mashed potatoes are.

It's crazy how people actually think pastas/bread/rice are a food group lol. They aren't. They aren't real food. They are processed garbage. It's the same as going to mcdonalds and buying a burger. It's the same as buying a package of cookies. You shouldn't demonize "carbs' but when people say carbs are bad for you they…

I was so bad for almost a year. I couldn't drive, I couldn't be by myself. I was basically lying on my couch every day thinking I was dying. Went to emergency room 10 times in that year, probably had 200+ full blown panic attacks. They were happening multiple times daily for a while. Tried different drugs, they just made…

You sound like you're already getting amazing results don't overthink it. A lot of things people talk about, like making sure you eat enough calories or youll stall out or gain back the weight has nothing to do with science or nutrition at all. It has to do with human habits. If you actually get into supervised medical…

Slice of Toast with Avocado and some back bacon or ham! I use flax bread(don't get confused with wheat bread where they had a little bit of flax in) the kind I buy has 10 grams of protein a slice :) Plain Greek Yogurt with blueberries and a sprinkle of granola Toast with Sliced Bananas and Peanut butter

People freak out too much about undereating and BMR. If you're getting adequate vitamins and minerals you could live several months off of your fat stores alone consuming literally 0 calories a day. This whole notion of starvation is ridiculous. No one here in a 1st world country has any idea what starvation is, there is…
