IIFYM is the only way to live.

You changed two important factors at the same time. Activity level and calories. The Calculator that helps you figure out your activity level is "Meh" at best. You found something that worked and then messed with it because you got a new job. My suggestion is go back to what you were doing and listen to your body. If you…

Have meals ready to go. Being on the go and the time it takes to cook when you are already hungry often lead to eating "rubbish" because its quick and easy.

Not all carbs are created equal. Your body may respond to some better than others. So.... "How much" of "what kind" of carb placed "when" throughout the day should be your question. The internet will not answer this for you. Calculate your numbers and give it a whirl. IMO low carb = crappy workouts. But if you must.....…

That's what mine is with 5 workouts a week.

Your surplus will depend on how your body responds to the extra calories. Listen to your body. I had to jump +800 over TDEE to see gains. Clean Calories I might add.... Oh and Thumbs up for Starting Strength.

42 eggs separated into 5 whites 1 whole = 7 containers 10lbs chicken into 7oz portions = 21 baggies 4 yam into 6oz portions = 7 baggies 6 cups jasmine rice (dry measure) -> 1 cup cooked = 21 baggies 7 cups oatmeal = 7 baggies 12 strawberries = 14 baggies 1 cup green beans = 21 baggies 7 salmon frozen = 7 baggies 6 meals a…

2 scoops banana nut protein 2 cups almond milk 1 cup strawberries 1 cup uncooked rolled oats 1 tbsp. coconut oil. 830 calories first thing when I wake up. macros --> 67/20/60

6 jumbo eggs 1 cup jasmine rice fried in 1 TBSP coconut oil 1 cup strawberries and 1 slice cinnamon raisin toast Because I'm always hungry.

Either way. Keep track of your weight and body fat % weekly and look for change. Then adjust accordingly.

I have to disagree. It's easier to adjust up from sedentary if you feel like you aren't getting enough food. 300 calories is a lot. Its the difference between maintaining weight and a bulk for some people. In your case, maintenance or deficit....? Walking is a form of exercise and is calculated on the back end. Im not sure…

I am a stress eater. BAD!! The best thing I have come up with is little emergency packs. These packs contain pre-planned junk/healthy-ish foods. I suggest you junk it out how ever you'd like within reason.. Do it when you aren't stressed and go to it when you are. You now have control on a situation that you've felt like…

Drop weight and focus on engaging the muscle you are supposed to be working with each exercise, then build from there with tempo and more weight.. Plyometric exercises, cardio, lots of water, more cardio and super clean eating. Good Luck

I weigh in once a week. Weight is only part of the equation. Riddle me this.... In 1 week I gained +1 lb. But my body fat dropped almost one percent. .......... Is that Progress? Absolutely! But how would I know that if all I looked at was the scale? Do yourself a favor. Look at body fat % and measurements along with that…

I take penicillin 250mg x2 daily. I have for the past 15 years and will for the rest of my life. I also take an insane amount of amoxicillin before and after dental work, for tattoos and any injury with the possibility of infection. Antibiotics have had no affect on my weight what so ever. Sprained toe = less activity than…

Don't cook it. Put it in a protein shake and drink up. Well... you'll need to chew a little bit. I do 2 scoops banana nut protein, 2 cups almond milk, and 1 cup dry rolled oats. It tastes like a muffin shake. If you don't drink it right away it gets thick like pudding but is just as good.

Lean Protein Sources: boneless skinless chicken breast lean ground chicken lean ground turkey tilapia, cod, halibut canned tuna in water egg, egg whites High Fat Protein Sources: salmon, sea bass bison, buffalo top round, sirloin or flank steak Vegetarian Protein Sources: tofu seitan tofurkey edamame As far as waffles…

Um.... You can recalculate your Kcals all you want but not working out and drinking beer daily? Yikes man. However, you said you work on your feet all day and I can respect the working man so here is what I think... looking at your logged food for one day I would say up your protein to 1g per pound of lean mass. Then match…

Binge: a short period devoted to indulging in an activity to excess Excess: an amount of something that is more than necessary, permitted, or desirable. In this case it was more than was permitted by her diet. Anything else?

As far as your last sentence.... "If i stay under the rest of the week" Problem: Lets say.... It's the middle of the day. You are half way through your Macro nutrients and whats this? You spot a carton of ice cream in the freezer. Mmmm... Its hot outside and there is a good movie on.... Ahhhh! On the couch you go and down…

Actually a lot of people do this on purpose. Its called carb cycling. Its said that you can eat low carb 5-6 days a week and have 36 hours to "reasonably" binge. This shocks the metabolism into high gear. You then switch back to low carb with your metabolism on high to help burn calories throughout the week.. I use sundays…

Don't get discouraged by a number! Weight is a horrible tool for determining fitness progress. People are so quick to throw out days or weeks worth of research and planning just to try something else because the scale doesn't move. Have you taken measurements? Progress Pics? how do you feel? Do your clothes fit…

Absolutely! I experienced this quite often after a binge on energy drinks. For me, its all or nothing. I gave them up completely. Water was the obvious choice over energy drinks and headaches. Now I get them after something simple like having a soda +refill at a restaurant. But.... I don't get them using just my pre…
