  • I aim for 1 gram per pound of lean body weight. I pick things up and I put them down. In other words I lift with the intent to build muscle. I would worry more about your going under than over.

  • It takes a while to get it. I call the eat backs my play calories. I burn about 1200 in a workout so by the time I walk out eat back isn't even a question because I could eat the fat pug the lady is walking past the gym... with some jerk seasoning maybe. I am starving. I do make the eat back count nutritionally. Once in a…

  • And you put me on Atkins and I gain. Why is simple. I have a fat tooth. I could care less about sugar, chocolate or carbs. but you set me off on meat and fat and I'm done for. You really were not planning to eat any of that 5 pounds of pork or beef you bought anyways were you? That was my snack and I had all the bacon in…

  • I'm using the diet to restructure my eating so that I can live with the difference. I will burn X calories when I am in normal range so I am using the calorie reductions not to lose weight but to reach that. As I get closer the calorie limit for losing drops closer to my normal eating range. Do I use "Cheat days" yes and…
