Taco bell is great! Everyone needs a little diarrhea in their lives...

I agree, don't do it if you don't like it. Besides, doing a buttload of cardio will just make you better at doing cardio. Pick up some weights, build a little muscle and you'll really shred the weight! yes though, everything gets easier the more you do it and the more fat you lose...except floating in a pool...that gets…

Step aerobics....if you seriously bust your *kitten* (as in, can't talk, dripping sweat) for 60 minutes...900 calories can be burned with no problem. If you are working up a medium sweat and breathing a little hard, you're probably closer to 4-600 If you are just going through the motions and not really busting…

OO OO PIC ME! Pure, unsweetened, dark chocolate. High calories, high awfulness...

I used to be real...but now that weight loss has become easy, i dont consider myself real anymore.

A good strength training program will help your body use the food you eat better. Some people's bodies just dont want to add any fat. You've got to convince your body that you need it to change...pick up some heavy shiz and your body will be like "I better get swole or this dude's gonna crush me". Also I dont normally like…

lol, you reported me? why me? I said nothing pervy...i reported you for a vulgar/blasphemous post which was very inappropriate.

I was 220 when i started. I sit in an office at work, i'm lightly active at home, and i workout about 60mins 6x per week. I was eating 2700cal per day and maintaining. I dropped it to 2400cal/day and barely lost...so now i'm at 2100 cal/day and i'm losing about 1lb per week. You'll have to play with the numbers in practice…

I sort of do this but not religiously. The macros approach is working awesome for me though....for the first time in my life i can see the top 3.5 abs! Plan everything in advance and buy a bunch of tupperware so you can take stuff with you. Hitting the macros is pretty easy after you've been doing it for a couple…

Well it depends on how stupid the s**t you said was...if you made it obvious that you know nothing about a subject, nobodys gonna listen to your opinions on the subject anymore... I used to say stupid shiz all the time and not know it until i was ridiculed into the fetal position... Now i say half my s**t as if it's a joke…

Turkey sandwich with lettuce, bell peppers, tomatoes, and pickles. 4oz wild caught salmon filet on a bed of wild rice with a side of brocolli and cauliflower spaghetti and meatballs so many options!

I tend towards inappropriateness....and I have but 3 friends.

Maintenance depends on your end goal. If you want to look like Arnold, yeah you'll still need to lift heavy and often to maintain. If you're just looking to be a 6' 170lb lean guy, you could definitely slack up and just stick to the major compound lifts 1-2 times per week. Diet is upwards of 80% of your body composition.…

Other than the errors, your muscles could be swollen from the lifting. Your muscles hold onto nutrients/blood/water weight...whatever you want to call it after you lift to help aid in repairs...

You end up having a poor quality workout if you don't feel 100%. Some extra days of recovery won't hurt your overall goal. If you feel like you want to and feel like you can, then try doing something light and easy for the first day and if that goes well, get back at it the next day. Just make sure you give your body a…

Basically, when you haven't had any food for a long time, your blood sugar will start to drop. Your body will try to maintain your blood sugar by burning fat and muscle. Most people refer to that as starvation. As for the when: it happens when you havent had anything in your stomach for a long time. The time varies from…

I have a 3 day split which I typically run through twice a week. Push, Pull, Legs. Push as in various barbell or dumbbess presses, flyes, tricep work. Pull as in lat pull downs and pull ups, various rows, bicep work. Legs consisting of squats, deadlifts, lunges, and calf raises. I'll typically run through a variety of…

Your body will constantly adapt to the changes you make but you've got to be consistent. Make sure you weigh at the same time every day...preferably as soon as you wake up after a P. One week is not enough time to determine if you are gaining or losing. Stick with it for a couple of weeks and see how it goes. I like to…

Buy lean meats, slow digesting carbs, and healthy fats from the store and start making creations that have a nice balance of macronutrients. Then count everything, stop snacking, and bring your meals with you. Maybe even try finding a super yummy protein powder to fill some gaps. Make sure to make yummy meals and you'll be…

Like others said, Keep eating healthy but try to count more accurately/consistently. Pick a number like 2000 and eat that many calories for a couple weeks, if you gain, you know that's too much and you should drop it a couple hundred for the next couple weeks. I used online calculators to determine that I needed…
-
If you are literally on maintenance calories you shouldnt be gaining weight. Online calculators are good baselines but you definitely need to adjust the baselines to account for your individuality. If you have gained 4lbs in 2 months, thats roughly a half of a pound per week. So mathematically speaking (based on 1lb of…

my wife loves bananas with peanut butter...thats a great high carb high fat snack. I love oats and eggs with a slice of white american cheese...great high calorie and high quality breakfast...plus the cheese makes it yummy! I'm also a huge fan of protein shakes for easy calories on the go. A new mass gainer I bought is…
-
Oh yeah, and remember that fitness is a lifestyle thing, not a "couple of months" thing. If you fall off the bandwagon for a couple of days, no big deal!! Its not like you can't hop right back on and keep going! You just gotta make sure you hop back on!
-
Do it! Start! You can change anything you want to, you just have to want it! I struggled to get started back in August so I actually moved my weight bench into my bedroom so I literally had to trip over it on the way to the bed...that got me started. Try to think about how good you felt after making positive changes last…
-
My go-to is normally eggs and oats. Good slow digesting carb breakfast coupled with good fats and a great source of protein. I'll put a slice of white american cheese between the oats and eggs and eat that just about every morning. Only takes 5 minutes to make...and fills you up without making you feel bad. It'll also help…

Would the person above me date me? Probably...i'm pretty awesome. and yeah, i'd probably date the person below me too...why not?

I started counting and weighing in February. I thought it was amazing how quickly the results come when you actually eat right. I still weigh pretty regularly but I will guess when it comes to vegetables because I just aim to be within 1-200 calories of my goal. Sweet potatoes i can almost go by feel now. I am also fairly…
