  • Send me an add what are you looking for info on I can talk fitness/nutrition all day.
  • Being completely honest your calories seem extremely low on top of weight lifting 3 times a week I truly don't understand how you can be gaining weight. Unless there's a lot of binge eating that you're not telling us about. I will certainly help anyway I can but I need all the details I mean like I said at that amount of…

  • Well you've come to the right place MFP is great for calculating overall intakes and finding out all the excess calories you're eating in your favorite foods, the numbers can be quite shocking at times. You can certainly do it though set up a plan of action and follow through with it. I however would suggest the use of a…

  • You can do it the human mind is capable of incredible things as long as you're willing to put in the time and effort to accomplish them. Set goals achieve them and then set bigger goals, never settle and you'll never reach a plateau!
  • From the beginning of my summer cut which was last may until present day I have been dieting on relatively high carbs. He may swear by it personally but it really makes no difference your overall caloric intake is all that will determine whether you're gaining or losing fat/weight. My carbs are set to about 240g a day on a…
  • Protein peanut butter cups is my end of the night signature treat. If you have some available fat and protein in your macros their the perfect treat for late night snacking. For about 3 cups you'll only need 25-30 grams of protein and roughly 12-16g of fat depending on how much peanut butter you wish to add to each cup.…
  • To be honest I've found that most protein bars tend to be much higher on the fat/carb side than many other alternatives. That being said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with eating late at night. All that truly matters is your overall intake for that day. Meaning, so long as you're in a caloric deficit for that…
  • Cardio of any sort is nothing more than a means to burn excess calories in order to reach daily/weekly caloric goals. I was thought that doing anything more than 30 minutes of cardio after a weight training session was counter-productive. However having since changed that and adding more cardio into my post workout cardio…
  • Eat a good portion of carbohydrates about 1 1/2 to 2 hours previous to this time of day that you begin feeling tired. Should honestly make a difference. If you're on a specific diet pull about 25-35g of carbs from another meal and replace them into this time and see if that doesn't give you the energy boost you're looking…
  • Overall daily caloric intake is all that matters. Having some more carbs before your workouts should definitely give you an energy boost if you feel you can use one. Many people above me have stated it already but what it really comes down to is hitting your overall macronutrient/calorie goals. You can eat 5 small meals a…
  • Try arctic zero "frozen dessert" is the official name of it but its basically pints of ice cream that have only 150 calories per PINT. That means 37 calories per serving. So at the end of the day if you have 150 calories to spare or 3 points according to weight watchers you can sit down on your couch and eat an entire pint…
  • To sum it up in short; so long as your overall daily intake of calorie is below your maintenance/base calorie level (the amount of calories you must eat in order to not gain or lose weight) than you will continue to lose weight. Now, how much under this baseline is what determines the amount of weight you will lose.
  • Avoid muscle milk its honestly one of the more garbage protein supplements on the market. Typically ones that are over-advertised always are. You can determine the percentage of protein in a specific protein supplement brand by dividing the grams or protein per serving by the grams in a serving. Or... Grams of protein per…
  • There are many myths out there about protein intake as well as all your other macronutrients. Please don't fall victim to thinking you must keep protein ridiculously high when dieting and carbs/fats low. A good measure is to set your protein right around your bodyweight, if you have muscle building goals in mind possibly a…
