Divide your 2400 kcal like this: 40% protein 40% carbs 20% fats If you have the possibilty you should prep your meals to take with you when you're on the road. This will make sure that you eat what you need. Try to eat most of your carbs around your weight training workouts to use the benefits of your insulin. Do weight…

I think it looks good! Try to eat most of your carbs during, especially after, your workouts - to use the benefits of you insulin. You may cut some of the carbs and replace with som healthy fats. Keep on doing what you're doing, and just change it when you don't get the results you want. Good luck!

Try to eat your carbs around your workouts, especially the post workout meal. You will then use the benefits of you insulin when you really need it - to refuel your muscles. Eat more proteins - that will make you feel fuller, cut som on the carbs instead. How about your fats? Try to change some of the bad fats to healthy…

Yes, he is am IFBB Pro. But not in bodybuilding. IF he would use any type of steroid - or clen, DNP or whatever, he still hadn't get that ripped eating whater he wanted as long as he was on a calorie deficit.

Wow, this was an unforgettable reading... It's very interesting how so many defend the way of losing weight on a diet that includes ice cream, cookies etc. I still push for clean diets to lose weight, and to get a lean or ripped physique. Clean diets BUT with the space to reward yourself when you're reaching your goals.…

I totally agree! You are eating way to less! Eat more, eat clean and drink lots of water. Your nutrition is 80% of your result. The other 20% you will get in the gym. If you've lost 100 punds (260 down to 160) it may also have effected the skin around your belly. Often, in a great and fast weight loss) the skin can't keep…

It sounds that you may look over your diet. As DopeItUp said, the macros are important. You will need a good amount of protein, good carbs and healthy fats. By using nutrition timing, and eating your carbs around your workouts, you will use the carbs better (using your insulin effect, your most anabolic hormone, when you…

Agree, it really sounds like you are right on track! Some small tips, you choose if you want to use them or not: * If possible, try to separate your weight training from your cardio. By doing this it will benifit your muscles and prolong your fat burning process during the day. Example; do your cardio first thing in the…

Try to concentrate your fast carbs, sugars, etc around your workout. In that way you are using your insulin when you need it the most. Insulin is our most anabolic hormone. On the other meals of the day, try to eat more fats. Raise your protein intake. Eat plenty of good carbs. You can also take som MCT (Medium Chain…

As fitphoenix22 said, there can be a lot of reasons, and very commons is that you will keep more water in your body if you're eating more carbs, especiella fast carbs. When you exercise, is it weight trainging or cardio? If you are new to weight training, that is also a factor than can make you both put on weight or remain…

First of all I don't think you should look at the scale each and every day, I understand that makes you crazy. Even if you are eating at your maintenance calories your body respond differently depending on what you eat. If your calories for a day is based on proteins, fats and vegetables you will loose water = you will…

I definitively agree with sheermomentum, he should see a doctor and discuss the challenges and possibilities due to his condition. Is he allowed to, and can he, do weight liftning? That's a spark that will both make him gain weight and also feel more hunger. Try to get him to eat loads of carbs and proteins around training…

I agree with the answers you got here. You shouldn't need - or benefit - for a test booster at all. If you feel you have a problem with you T production, do a blood test and check it out. If the result shows you have an extreme low testosterone production, you will probably get HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy). Eat more…

Amen to that! You have to individualize your diet after your body type and genetics, your possible diseases, allergies or blood sugar and your life. Again; I don't say eating junk food now and then are a bad thing, it's the opposite if you are having a decent diet. It's not a bad thing even if you excess your calories, if…

Count me in 2! :)

I guess it's up to you do find out if I'm a troll or not. You're welcomed to see the other posts I've made here, it's not trolling, it's helping. And why did I promote myself? Because I love to help. This is my passion! I love to read about nutritional science, weight loss, fat burning, fitness etc. I love to educate my…

I think it's great that you've lost weight, maintaining the weight and still can eat junk food! No argue about that, that's a fantastic job done! Balance is everything. I don't talk about cutting the junk food out. However, depending on your goal about the look of your body and the way to achieving it, you will get better…

That's wise! It's all about balance. I believe in junk foods as rewards and treats, but not as a basement for the diet or eating it all day long.

Great that you've lost all that weight. But still, it's common sence; good food is better for your body than junk food. Period. If you compare two persons with identically body types, both are eating with the same calorie deficit - one with quality food and one with junk food - and are doing exactly the same exercise; you…

I don´t know your weight or body type, but a common mistake is actually that people are eating too less of calories. That works for a while, but in the long term perspective, your metabolism will slow and the body will walk into a state of starvation, where the body desperate try to save your fat, and use muscles and amino…

A common statement is that diet is 80% and the workouts are 20%, when you want to loose weight. To start with a morning cardio is great! But don't forget to look over your diet, so that you eat the right amount of calories (not too few, not too many), eat clean, get enought of proteins and drink plenty of water!

If the workout is weight lifting: In that case I would suggest them to eat carbs in the post workout meal, to fill up the glycogen. And to use whey protein and/or bcaa's before/during/after workout, so that the body have some building blocks for the morning workout.

Are you calulating your calories from cooked or uncooked food? If you calculating on cooked food, that can be an explanation. You should always calculate on uncooked food. 1g protein = 4kcal 1g carbs = 4 kcal 1g fat = 9 kcal I don't know what ratio you have on your macrnutrients, but if we count 1300kcal at 40/30/30 it…

No problem! As you wrote you have not been to McD for 6-7 months, that's great1 As long as you kept a clean diet, it's no panic that you failed just once. It can actually be positive, with enhancing your metabolism. Just go back to your normal diet and it will be fine!

Good luck! Just do it! =)

As a lot of other forum members wrote; don't panic. Just continue and stick to your diet. If you've followed your diet strictly it can actually have affected your metabolism in a positive way. Regarding detox it can be a good weapon to use now and then, if you do it right (basing the diet on ecological vegetables, wild…

You have to sit down and calculate all the calories you are burning on yourr acitivities. Add the calories from your weight session, and your BMR. Then you will see how much you really need to eat to gain weight. And to put on weight you need of course to stay 200-700 kcal (depending on your body type) over. Eating…

Try to get your blood sugar stable with low GI carbs, or with eating less carbs and more proteins and healthy fats, and I can promise you that your snippy and *****y mood will even out. =) It's good to hear that your late night snack doesn't affect your weight loss. But still, I guess you want to loose fat and not just…

Yes, that's totally right! If you are driving a Porsche - you don't want to put dirty gasoline in it. It's the same with the body. Treat your body great and you will look great! But I also think it's good for your body and your soul to reward you now and then - and junk food is a good treat in that case!

It depends on how much in calorie excess you are in your bulk phase? Generally I would say no, don't cut the calories, if your goal is to put on muscles. Add som cardio in stead (which is great for your general health, and also will help your muscles to get more blood, oxygen and nutrition in your muscle cells). You could…
