I could do Monday and Thursday, but then I play hockey Friday and Saturday night. I think going Mon and Wednesday gives me at least one day in between. Should I try to increase the weight at all during this time? maybe 5 lbs per week instead of 5-15 lbs. per work out.

do you suck in, push it all the way out? I measured mine around my belly button yesterday am and it was 36.5 last night I measured in the same spot but pushing all the way out and it was around 40. pretty drastic difference

Cool I did look on fat2fit and it says if I want to reach my goal weight i should eat around 2100 calories a day. That's how many I'd need to maintain 170 lbs. so if they say I need about 2442 a day is that just to maintain my weight? I'd still need to subtract the 500 a day to lose 1 lb per week? I don't think I could eat…

what did you use to calculate your tdee? i just put my numbers in to my fitness pal. I lift 2-3 days in a 7 day period, I play hockey twice a week minimum. One day is an intense game, the other is a 1 hour practice and only the last 15 minutes is intense (scrimmage). I may add another light day of skating or HIIT. Other…

Got it. I started at 208 and am down to 193. Goal weight is 170-175. A rough estimate for my body fat is 25.7% so that leaves me with about 147 lbs of lean mass. Again, rough estimate. I usually take in about 130 to 160 grams of protein daily. sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. I shoot for 1750 calories…

What's the difference between weight loss and body recomposition/fat loss.? Don't they go hand in hand?

I don't sweat the calories because 1. my job is extremely sedentary all day and I drive 3 hours a day total. I'm sitting from 9-15 hours a day. 2. My template may look active, but typically I lift two to three times a week and get on the ice twice a week at most. Sometimes I make it a third day. One session being a light…

How big of a deficit are you on? I'm on a 500 calorie/1 lb a week and i typically don't eat back the calories on my cardio days. although i've been cheating a bunch recently and going over. interested to see how I make out when i tighten it down and actually stay at the 500 calorie deficit

I actually just completed my first week of starting strength. i am a little hesitant to keep up with though being on the calorie deficit. Do the Reading players do starting strength?

I forgot one. Chipotle chicken bowl. fajita veggies, only a little bit of black beans, salsa, lettuce. Get a side of Guacamole and eat about half of it. No cheese, no sour cream. Make sure you get the bowl. less than 500 calories if you do it like above.

Look at the calories in chick fil a's food. Not bad at all. I get the following: original chicken sandwich with a side salad/light italian dressing. No croutons. Coke Zero. 8 or 12 piece nugget with a side salad/light italian dressing. No croutons. Coke Zero. grilled chicken sandwich with a side salad/light italian…

I want to do option number 2 (get in better shape with better development of your muscle structure). don't want to get bigger at all. Currently weight 193, want to be 170-175, on a calorie deficit and play hockey for cardio. What is a good weight lifting routine to reach your option number 2? three days a week I can lift,…

anybody

I'm also looking to buy my first for doing HIIT at the gym, lifting at the gym and also when I play ice hockey. Would the polar FT7 be a good one?

do any of you have any type of estimate of how many calories I may burn during a game? for example, the games are 17 minute periods. this week we only had 3 subs. i would say I played about half the game, 25-30 minutes. it's basically HIIT for 30 minutes that you're out there.

These for a dude?

Maybe i'll switch it to lose 1 lb per week which is around 1750 carlories a day and add back 200 the days I play hockey. I'll see how that goes. Edit: Your maintenance calories are 2250 from a rough calculation... 1800 wouldn't hurt. You could eat 1800 and your exercise calories, and you'd still be on track to lose a pound…

I shouldn't have said that about BS. Here is the deal. I lost 15 lbs. and want to lose 15 more. The thing is that I pay hockey three days a week. Once is a game so that's intense, the other two are less intense. An adult clinic and practice session. Both are around an hour of working out but less intense than the game.…

because i think "eating back your exercise calories" is BS. If I take in about 1500 calories a day and exercise i've been losing weight. If I boost it up to about 1800-2000 I don't. Not only that I have no real way of tracking how much I burn during working out.

I'm 5'8 200 lbs. Would it be realistic that I burn 300 calories in 22 minutes on the elliptical? I start out with a 5 minute warm up on level 3. Then I go 30 seconds on level 12 at about 10-11 mph, 1 minute on level 5. I repeat that about 8 times 12 minutes. Cool down for another 5 minutes. The read out on the machine said…

I've tried the regular greek yogurt, but can't get in to it. What raw veggies you recommend? Only ones I can do without some type of dip would be carrots, celery and maybe cucumbers. Anything else I need something to go with them, but that doesn't fit in to the diet. Only supplement i've been taking beside whey protein was…

As far as sugar goes, that mostly comes from the greek yogurt. I only eat that cause I mix in bran buds for insoluble fiber. My Dr. said I need to get more of that. Should I cut out the yogurt? I think you're right about the cheat day. I'll start tracking that more closely and maybe cut it back to a cheat meal. Raw fruits…

anybody

One more thing. is it ok to have a cheat day once a week? I don't pig out, but I eat what I want. probably get a little more than my daily calories, but way higher in fat than the other six days a week.

anybody

I switched it back to 1.5 lbs a week. With my current weight at 197 and goal weight of 170 it says I should be eating 1520 calories (net)
