I started eating to build muscle 4 weeks ago. I started at 1700 calories but have consistently been bumping it up to try and gain. I'm up to 1900 calories per day but still maintaining a weight of 125lbs. I'll bump it again on Monday if I haven't gained an ounce. Which I haven't since I started. It's not easy to find…

I'm in week 4 of the LiveFit program and I'm loving it! I don't stick closely to the eating plan. I use it as a guideline and then I make it work with my calories and macros. I weigh 125 pounds but eating 1725 calories a day is maintenance for me. Since I want to add muscle, I've upped my calories to 1850. I aim for 135…

Just interested to know how you all are measuring your body fat. We have a body fat scale at work and it says my body fat is 18% but I think I'm more like 20%. I bough a cheap set of calipers to see and it says 30%. I'm 5'4" and 120 pounds. But back to the issue at hand, I have been using the scale and if it's consisent,…

Thank you times one million! I've always wondered why. You explained it so well. I will release my guilt about not being a breakfast person (thank you all you "fitness experts" with your "most important meal of the day" bull). And I'll never eat it again. Thank you thank you thank you.
