Wrong wrong wrong.

You couldn't have atleast picked a better topic for a forum on a Friday night? I can't even believe this has gone 7 pages. Why am I even answering this?

I don't lift for two hours but I burn about 200 calories or so in an hour lifting session.

What he's saying is that 100 calories in fudge vs 100 calories in carrots has absolutely NO difference in terms of weight loss / fat loss. Zero.

But that's what she wants to do. Your comment was very offputting and nonhelpful by asking her "why she's obsessed with a number".

"Cutting" has been used for years in reference to dieting down. When I think of "trimming" or "thinning" i think of hair. *shrug*

My god people get the hell off of her already. Quit being so judgmental and let her try to fulfill her goals. If she wants to get to a certain bf% then that's what she wants and instead of the ridiculing or questioning WHY she wants to do it, it's her decision and if you have knowledge on the topic, give advice that helps.…

Dude I'm 5'7 also and I was at 165 at like 11-12% and it took me almost 6 additional months to get down to 157 and 10%. Talk about frustration. But I did it eventually. At 5'7 145 you're sub 10% which is crazy hard to do. 10% is good bro. It's abs city at that percentage. Anything below 10% and you'll be miserable as F.…

Yea you don't need to worry about the calories in fiber carbs. 99.9% of the nutritional labels that are approved by the FDA already have this pre-calculated. And green leafy vegetables you shouldn't be stressing too much over in counting them anyway. If you were to eat a head of broccoli it would be like 30…

Wait...i thought they really didn't.

Yea I did keto at one point until I started doing a new training regime that consisted of Squats and Deads in the 3-5 rep range and I couldn't remain focused after a week or so. I had to get off keto and eat some carbs. But keto is good. I don't recommend it for bodybuilders that even do bulk and cut phases because you…

<-- This is how I look when I don't meet a goal so no worries aimee.

Lyndsey if you call a gym ahead of time and ask them if they have bodyfat calipers that they can just test you on, some gyms do it. World Gym, Gold's Gym will do it. The big gyms do it. Don't go to Planet Fitness, they may look at you strange. :)
-
Just think, you have next week to try this again.
-
Yea it depends on your active lifestyle. I had a roommate that did construction and he burned in upwards of about 7000 calories a day. He came to me asking why he couldn't gain weight. I told him to go get a few milkshakes at McDonalds every day. It's very possible to burn 4000 a day easily, just depends on what you're…

Failure. No Snickers Ice Cream bars for you now.

You can workout from home just fine. There will be a point where you aren't getting any stronger but that's fine if your goals are what you said in your post. You want to lose fat, maintain LBM. No problems with training from home.
-
I mean you could technically drop down to lifting once a week instead of a more regular schedule and with adequate protein you should keep your LBM intact, but yea if you stop completely after probably 3 months it will start to widdle away. lol

There isn't a 100% accuracy when it comes to TDEE but there are a couple ways. You can go the old school pain in the *kitten* method: - Eat at a certain amount of calories per day. You'll have to take a guess. Do this for a few weeks. See if your weight drops or raises. I would start with 2000 calories a day. Or the easier…
-
yep!
-
Also Lyndsey remember that as you lose, your TDEE drops. You said you were eating 1700. I don't know how active your lifestyle still is, but it might be time to reevaluate how much you burn also. The best way I got over a "stall" or a "hump" i guess. Not really what word is appropriate to use lol. I either took a deload…
-
I wouldn't stress over the green leafy vegetables and bother counting those. It's a bit redundant.
-
I did it for about 3-4 months when I was at 12% trying to get down to 10% and I'm not sure if it did anything out of the ordinary that normal dieting would have done. I've heard people swear by it, others say meh. I'm one of the ones that says meh.
-
It sounds like you need a deload week. Not just with eating at maintenance but also your training. You don't need to take it completely off from weights/cardio but cut it back about 60%. In that year of training/dieting, have you ever done a deload before?
-
They eat alot of meat and green leafed veggies. It's fine, it's just not necessary. Also 170g of carbs isn't bad as long as you're still eating a calorie deficit. That is, if your goal is to lose weight.
-
Definitely
-
There isn't really a "food plan" that we can give you. We don't know what you like to eat. 1. Set goals 2. Find out your TDEE which is what you burn in calories daily. 3. Eat a moderate deficit from there. 4. Start with a basic strength training regime. Something simple but proven effective. 5. Hit your macros every day.…
