Nuts are good and all but they just pile on calories far too fast, its unfortunate.

First off your weight loss is great keep up the good work. Second, I'd recommend allowing yourself to do this every two weeks or so maybe not eat whatever you want for an entire day because you'd be surprised how drastic that can be especially after heavy dieting. Instead, dedicate your last two meals or so to be whatever…

There's no such thing as healthy/unhealthy foods just healthy/unhealthy diets ;) remember that!

Join my group page; "No Bull****; Just Honest, Real Answers there's a good chance that you are gaining some muscle mass which is why you see the weight fluctuation coincide with the loss of inches. In essence you're killing two birds with one stone because you are losing fat while gaining muscle. Which is absolutely…

Welcome welcome! Big goals, I like that! You can do it and MFP will certainly help you whenever you need it along the way. Best of luck to you!

mornings are when I always prefer to do it

Set your protein at or a little bit under your body weight so like 200g and then set your fats relatively low like .3 of your bodyweight and then fill the rest of your calories in with carbs. No need to go light on the carbs as they don't make you fat eating an excess amount of calories overall will make you gain weight.

Egg whites oatmeal turkey sausage whole eggs even add a bunch of veggies and you've got a great skillet.

Really simple you either need to lower calories more or increase exercise more, and yes obviously it will go slower it's like the catch up effect. You can lose a drastic amount of weight when you have a lot to lose but once your just tying up the loose ends you need to make more drastic tweaks and changes in order to see…

Yea I tend to do small binges now that I'm bulking for the next several months I just make sure I do it on days I'm lifting so that at least the extra calories are going to partial good use. Typically I'll binge on leg or back days sometimes arms lol. Or if I feel that I have a lagging muscle group I'll bing on that day it…

Yea just always measure it dry much easier that way. 1/2 cup of dry oats is 150 cals

Any protein over your body weight is really unnecessary, furthermore carbohydrates are actually more muscle sparing than protein is.

Cardio does not make you go catabolic and it does not make you burn muscle if your hear rate isn't in the "fat burning zone". To be blunt, that is total non-sense, the not dieting correctly part is the only thing I can agree with but so long as you eat some type of meal before the workout (whatever it may be) your body…

Most trainers are half-*kitten* educated fitness freaks that believe way too much of what they read. It's incredible how easy it is to become a certified trainer these days. I've got a buddy that basically paid the tuition cheated on every test and just administers all his own personal knowledge relating to fitness to his…

"Zones" are irrelevant there is no specific zone in which you are burning purely fat or some other source of body weight. The only real advantage and believe me its a relatively small one at that, to doing high intensity type workouts is you will receive slight "after burn" affects where you continue to burn calories even…

That's great good luck with the studies and welcome to the group page, we can definitely use more people like you to help spread honest information. Legitimate information can be hard to come by on MFP at times so it's refreshing to have people that actually understand the concepts and ideas behind nutrition and fat loss.

I actually also experienced some pretty bad knee pain when I began running at the beginning of my weigh loss. There's a couple of different very basic exercises you can use to help strengthen your knees and all the muscles surrounding them. The reason you get extreme soreness in your shins/calves and knees (assuming you…

That's awesome congratulations! Keep up the good work and welcome to MFP!

Welcome and it sounds like you've come to the right place my friend!

I seriously love MFP I always have good friends on here I can turn to whenever I'm struggling with something or need someone to talk with!

No problem at all, thanks for joining just want somewhere that people can turn for some real answers. There's too much misinformation floating around these days and I'll be more than happy to dispel any type of non sense that people may have received from someone else. I'm deeply sorry to hear about the asthma, look at as…

Try looking for arctic zero frozen dessert, at only 150 calorie PER PINT anyone can find room for that into their daily allowance of calories. Definitely worth taking a look at!

Hey there I'm all into athletic training and also just began a group on here last night feel free to add me and/or join the group page. Its called; No Bull****; Just Honest Real Answers. I want to dispel many of the myths that go along with diet and nutrition and more.

Sleep is very important whether it be in regards to weight loss, muscle gain, or even maintaining. You're body goes through a ton of different processes while you sleep and without proper sleep it isn't able to recover fully. However, I do believe that naps count suppose you get 5 hours one night wake up and then 4 hours…

Absolutely not and as I said in the description I know I'm no professional but I'm the kind of person that doesn't always believe a certificate or piece of paper entitles you to a wealth of knowledge. Many things when it comes to these kinds of topics are subjective and can't always be answered generically. I never said I…

Welcome Cassandra!

Yes, basically eat the same exact 5 meals every day in fact.

Only if eating that protein puts you over your daily caloric maintenance level. So long as you're staying under that you can eat whatever you'd like and continue to shed pounds.

I honestly have no solid answer for that outside of your activity level being relatively high on these overeating days or your typical daily caloric intake is just so low and under your maintenance already that the extra 400 or so calories still keep you in a deficit. Interesting scenario though, thats for sure.

Yeah I was going to say the main discrepency here is just the fact that you waited until the afternoon once you eat or drink anything after waking up its going to throw off your weight instantly. You'll begin retaining water and more honestly had you weighed in first thing in the morning as you normally do it probably…
