The best and most accurate is using body fat calipers. You can buy some online for less than $10. The Army Navy and Marines calculators can vary up to 10% so that not very consistent. Once you get the calipers use the Jackson Polluck 7 point skinfold test. Also lose skin will not really play a role in your measurements…

You really need to be hitting the 2080 calorie mark at least, 6'4" is a pretty tall so you can tolerate alot more calories than you think. Its not so much to prevent healthy problems but to help you keep off the weight once you get to your goal weight. If you eat too little you will not be able to eat maintain your weight…

Layne Norton is where its at man

walmart protein(body fortress) is really bad quality the labels arent correct. I would suggest ISO 100. but your right protein powder is not necessary but does make it easier to hit your protein goal( 1gram per pound of body weight) It will help slightly to keep you fuller longer as protein digests slower. As for the oats…

First things first. You need a more positive mindset. You DO have control remember that. The minute you start doubting yourself is the minute you start to slip. Second, to prevent yourself from feeling restricted, go ahead and have those unhealthy foods, just make your you fit them into your calories and macros first. If…

I workout at home as well, its much more convenient, easier to plan, and all in all MUCH cheaper. I would start with whatever you enjoy, try out some videos on youtube. HIIT is the best for building your metabolism so you will lose weight faster in the end. There are also plenty of dvd programs for the home that I have had…

just stick with the program, although it is short it is more then enough for the day and you dont want to overtrain. I love t25 and I think youll love the results. If you have any more questions feel free to message me.

1 when it come to staying on track with food just do your best to track the food ahead of time so you can adjust your portions to fit your macros and calories. 2 for exercise those 2 days wont hurt you so dont worry but the rest of the time you can do an online workout in whatever place you are staying or you could run…

absolutely! BMI doesnt help at all. just order a cheap pair of body fat calipers on amazon then google a jackson polluck calculator and your good to go

hey if any of you all need help with it feel free to message me ive been doing it for awhile with great results. just thought id offer

eatthis.com is my favorite, you can set your calorie and macros for the day and itll arrange your meals according for the whole day

impressive numbers man

you can find a bunch of great workouts on youtube, my favorite is tony hortons channel. Or you could buy an at home program like p90x3 or piyo. All those are 30 minutes or less and are pretty low impact. I cant blame you for wanting to spend as much time as you can with him either, family comes first

Im sorry for your loss as well. My suggestion would be to add 200 calories per day every 2 weeks until you start to gain 1/2-1lb a week. Cut cardio to at most once a week and start a muscle mass weightlifting program. If I can help in any way feel free to message me

I LOVE IIFYM

First off great program! still my favortie and you are going to love your athleticism at the end. Second, Are you following the nutrition guide? If not you should, ketogenic is not very good for such intense workouts because you need more carbs to restore your energy. I am happy to help if you have any questions. My…

Your diary looks pretty good overall but you are right you do need more protein. My top 2 suggestions would be more meat for lunch and dinner, and a different protein powder for breakfast. There are plenty of other protein powders with more protein and im sure brown rice powder isnt cheap. Whey is typically the best but…

I think the most important secondary element would be your macronutrient ratios. It is very important to monitor your protein, fat, and carb intake to get better results. After that I would say monitoring your water and fiber intake. Limiting sodium doesnt effect weight loss, just water retention and if too low can…

It will happen with pretty much any type of exercise if you have worked your muscles enough, less so with plain cardio. But it shouldnt last more than a week and wont be more than 1-2lbs. If you are doing an intense lifting or HIIT program then it can happen every week or so. To account for this just weigh yourself every…

I need alittle more info but my suggestions would be to monitor your macros, increase your daily calories by 100 and workout at least 5 days a week if you arent already. I can help you more if you want to talk about it. Ill message you

Tony Hortons youtube channel is great! alot of good workouts on there, ranging from 5-20 minutes have a look through them

Man switch to TDEE. It is so much better for tracking consistently, and when weight lifting your calories will be going up pretty frequently, about 200 a month when bulking. Take a look at my diary if you want. Also if you havve any questions feel free to ask id love to help

AS long as your eating enough calories (more than 1200) then go for it!

I love mine! very reliable ive had the same one for 4 years and it still runs great. I would definitely recommend one

I would suggest at least 1g of protein per pound of body weight, you can adjust your percentages under the goals tab. I would also suggest 20% and you can fill the rest with carbs. If you have any questions id be happy to help

I mean you really cant replace it with anything else since it is made from over 70 whole foods and no additives. I would suggest just increasing your vegetable intake until you can afford it again

that is amazing! always will be my favorite program your gonna love your results! Keep up the great work. If you ever need any help with it or have questions feel free to message me

Yeah waking up in the middle of the night could very well be due to your change in blood sugar. Its not so much because of your restriction from sugar but because of the lack of sugar in the rest of your day, the sugary food cause more of an insulin spike. But I do also feel like crap the day after a very sugary day. What…

There could be many reasons for that but I have a feeling its because you arent eating enough. You need to slowly increase your calories. Id be glad to help

Also if you ave changed your diet to more natural and high fiber foods it could be sustained bloating. Which isnt a bad thing, it just happens. Bloating can make ever six packs look fat
