Usually when it comes to diet doctors wont be able to tell you what to do, if you need to see someone I would recommend a nutritionist. BUT i think I can help you, I really think you arent eating enough, 1200-1600 calories for what seems like a very high activity level is not enough 1600-1800 would be better and the more…

I actually use the Total Daily Expenditure method and dont track my exercise just use a base calorie burn each day and it is usually more accurate. Because like you, I agree that the workout log on here is not necessarily accurate, I have a hard time believing that lifting weights for half an hour burns close to 1000…

Yeah artificial sweeteners tend to lead to fat build up around or internal organs which is known as skinny fat. And while the diet and exercise is just as important I do have to say quiting articial sweeteners is one of the first steps I recommend to people trying to lose weight.

Its not nit picky at all, you're just trying to do things the right way. As far as coffee goes scientists really havent agreed on whether or not its actually bad for you. But the big thing is if you are going to be absolutely miserable and tired without it then dont worry about cutting it out. I personally cut it out when…

So the best way to tell if 2400 calories is right for you is to try and stay with 50 calories of 2400 for 2 weeks and see how your body responds that way we can access how to continue from there, BUT 2400 calories should be about right for the situation you are describing. And you are correct on not entiring your daily…

I really hate to say this but it sounds like he will just need to control his appetite if snacks are causing him to go over on his calories. If he is eating them but fitting them into is daily calorie limits then there really isnt a problem with it and there is nothing to worry about.

The more protein in any diet and protein is the lowest calorie macro. I suggest alot more meat to get your protein in, chicken, turkey, fish(not tilapia) all lean proteins. If you arent a fan of meat you can eat whey protein powder of greeek yogurt for a high protein tasty treat or protein bars. If you want to even stay…

I honestly dont know the reason for it but I also find it much easier to eat more in the colder months. I know we burn more BMR calories when we are cold so tha could be part of it, also even though we dont really need it anymore as a species its kind of hard to overcome instinct so immm sure we still have the desire to…

Nope there is absolutely a relationship the that weight loss and the higher protein intake. The higher the protein the better while losing weight, in fact I usually recommend about 40-50% per day, This is mostly because it is harder for your body to convert the protein into usable energy then the other macros. So try to…

Really when to bulk is a preference thing, it depends how much weight you are willing to gain before cutting again, my suggestion would be if you are comfotable with the way you look now go ahead and start bulking until you get to a weight you are no longer comfortable with.
-
Fantastic job on all the weight youve lost so far! That is incredible! Please do not cut more calories though that will only make things worse. You actually need to eat more beleive or not. Try adding about 100 calories a day for 2 weeks and your weight loss should start again! I know this can be scary sometimes because it…
-
No you arent doing anything wrong at all! That actually looks like a great lifting program and I would definitely suggest to keep it up! Now I dont know how much weight you gained exactly but if it was more than 2lbs it is probably not from the exercise and if it hasnt gone back down it probably isnt from the exercise. I…

Because most of those diets work, the biggest difference is if done right calorie counting teaches you how to eat and most importantly makes it easy to keep the weight off. The bottom line is that if you dont eat at a deficit you wont lose weight its that simple.
-
You are doing amazing and it looks like you are on a roll so keep up the great work! My one and only suggestion would be to decrease fat and increase carbs and protein to about 40%p 40%c 20%f. That will help you deccrease your body fat without really losing anything on the scale.
-
Greek yogurt is one of my go-to's its fast easy and SUPER healthy, also there are some great tasting nut free snack bars called Larabars that could work, try a few flavors and see what you think?
-
I have been there before! that last few pounds can be very frustrating but you can do it! just stay consistent and keep tracking and youll do great! From what you mentioned in your meal plan it sounds like you arent eating much so in order to shed those last few pounds you might have to eat alittle more each day! Keep up…
-
Usually the baseline I give people is for every 1 cheat day it sets you back 3 days of good diet and exercise, now it is very possible to add 1lb of fat with that much of a surplus in one day but most likely you passed most of it, I would just suggest tracking what you eat before you eat it on your cheat day so that you…

I also workout on an empty stomache every morning then eat my daily protein shake after for 2 reasons, 1 i really dont like to drink stored shakes they just dont taste the same, 2 because it is such an intense workout my stomache would be killing me if I ate right before.
-
You didnt mention if you were working out or not but if you arent I would recommend starting to ans that will help. Besides that you will have to give your body time to adjust, try setting your goal to 1300 calories for 2 weeks first then after that go back up to 1400, your metabolism needs timme to adapt and sinnce your…

Absolutely! I felt that way about my brother who for years was thinner, more muscular and "better looking" but as I lost the weight I stopped feeling that way. But it wasnt because I lost the weight really, it was because I realized that I am not him and never will be so I just wanted to be the best version of myself I…
-
Well with that amount of exercise I would stick to 1400 calories during your weight loss, but the visible results really depend on the person, some see results in the first 10 days some the first month but I would probably guess youll notice a difference in the mirror within the first 3 weeks.
-
Dont apologize for asking its great that you are trying to do this the right way! And great job on your progress so far! So now that you are closer to your goal weight you are going to have to eat more to lose more especially if you are working out. My first suggestion would be to change your overall goals to about 1lb a…

Greek yogurt and whey help a ton as well.. Usually I try to eat at least 8oz of chicken a day that will help some. Best of Luck
-
They arent necessarily bad for you but they are not very effective. This is due to the fact that it isolates one body movement and doesnt allow you to use any other muscles that help build overall strength and increase you calorie burn. So while it wont hurt you in the gym it could hurt you in the real world and you will…

Absolutely! High protein diets are extremely helpful to lose weight. I usually recommend eating roughly 50% protein 30% carbs 20% fat when weight lifting and trying to lose weight. Also only weight lifting is perfect for weight lose and in most cases is much more effective than cardio.

Hip Hop Abs, Brazilian Butt Lift, Piyo, all are great and effective

She has some pretty great videos, also check out Tony Hortons youtube channel for a ton of great free workouts

What I do and what I recommend to people is to eat at a calorie level that allows you to drop 1-2 lbs/week. This assumes an average calorie burn from you getting in all of your workouts. This will be different for everyone, so you'll have to do some trial and error to figure it out. I'd start ~1600 cal/day. Hit this goal,…

If you are exercising regularly you are going to need to eat more very soon otherwise you will stop losing weight. Yes the more you lose the more you should eat but because you have been eating so little you have to do it slowly. I recommend adding about 100 calories a day every 1-2 weeks and that should result in either…

Oatmeal with protein powder tastes great! Also there are peanut butter protein balls are well you can make. Or you can buy greek yogurts and quest bars for a low fat low carb high protein snack
