Thats awesome! and good work! My question is how to get enough protein while still in deficit, using the formula in the video you've linked put me in a protein goal of 560 calories, thats 32% of my total daily calorie allotment, did you aim for your protein goal when you started lifting and do you have to chug…

I would do the stronglift fullbody workout program, It builds overall strength and then when you feel you've reached the level of strength you want you can switch routine. it takes about half an hour depending on how many people are in the gym, a little more time in the beginning as you're learning the techniques and then…

^This, and as i've said, switch to even less running, you're straining your body to much if you aren't used to running, c25k is a good program, start with that or something like it, i'd never recommend someone new to run more than 3 TIMES/week, you'll only end up hurting, maybe even an injury that you will have to recover…

Sounds like you've been running to much, take a step back and reevaluate, running shoes would help, but i still think you're running to much, and you might still have the problem you have now, start of with a low distance maybe 3 times a week, and then raise by 10% per week at the most, and run in at a slow pace in the…

My recommendation would be to raise your calories to maintenance, either by a little bit per week or all at once, maybe depending on if you know your maintenance calories, and start logging strictly again. I have a hard time coming back after a pause from logging, but I've no problem logging and eating at maintenance and…

Stay positive, try again and take it slow, for me the 7th (maybe?) time is the charm (i hope) I don't have that much to lose but i think i might know some reasons for failure, for me it is basically trying to lose weight too fast, and then when I'm starting to be happy about my weight I stop logging and gain the weight I…

Well, not me, but a friend of mine used to take 2x200g chocolate bars and spread nutella in between and eat as a sandwich! I try to save calories for the things i start craving, seems to work well :)

I use it with MFP and it's fantastic, only log cardio with it though, but as malcomjcooper said, link it with MFP and everything is automatic, especially like that it gives more accurate burned calories as long as you allow apps to log lower calorie burn than mfp (here in settings) Just don't forget to turn off audio cues!…

Okey, thank you everyone for your replies, i'll most certainly consider everyone of them and make changes thereafter, altough it feels wrong with eating more i'll do that, i just want you to know that i understand that eating with a really big deficit is unhealthy and that by doing that you are also breaking down muscle…

You mean that there is no such thing as the body starting to save calories if presented with a big calorie deficit?
-
I'll think about this, maybe stop doing 5:2, or the other way around I would've no arguments against reaching this if it werent for the calories that come with it, my options are lentils, about 990kcal (to fill a third of my protein intake), 10 eggs (for another third) about 750kcal and then 750kcal worth of tofu.thats…

I'm by no means even close to 1g protein / lb, do you have any other suggestions than those in the thread for achieving this? currently getting about 0.5g / lb of protein
-
I'm not aiming for 2lbs a week its just that my calorie deficit is around 1000 a day since i feel that i've already eaten enough and due to workouts, i actually have problems eating more calories and also eating back exercise calories, this is due to me trying to get rid of some body fat and it feels like the wrong idea to…

Thank you for your answer! Basically that means that people who are not very overweight cannot have a healthy 2lbs or 1kg a week weightloss? Also it seems as if 1200 calories are somewhat a general number? based on how many calories? hypothetically if i would be able to eat and meet the goals for all my nutrients, would my…
