Chilis wouldn't be too bad as long as you ordered from their "Guiltless Grill" menu. They have 4 or 5 items on it and are all very reasonable. My advice would be to visit their website and look at the menu and the nutrition facts. That way you already know what you will order when you are there.

Ok so woman touching themselves is like guys looking in the mirror? Both are actually good indicators for progress. Just the other day I was rubbing my outer quad and realized that it feels different. Same with my biceps. I don't ever rub my clavicle, but I did have a gf in the past that was OBSESSED with them....

Awesome! It's simple things like that which will keep you on track. Great job thus far, you look great.

Keep with what you are comfortable with. Only switch if you are wanting a change and when you do just make sure the macronutrient numbers fit within your goal.

But honestly it sounds like these questions are just made up like your trying to be funny. "Is it better hold the glass (or blender) with the right hand or the left? I heard that drinking it from a glass will help you tone but drinking from the blender will make you bulk. Note - I really want to avoid toning up. " Is this…

Please do not listen to the people that told you those things!!! Wow! Drink your shake however you like. I would routinely drink my shake directly from the blender because its fast, easy, and you only need to clean the blender. Not the blender and a cup.... Your thinking wayyyyyyy to far into this.

Buying 8 cases of rice cakes is definitely more insaner than buying 5 or 6. You may be able to put in OPS allotment in MFP. For example you would have "Fats, Carbs, Proteins, Sodium, Fiber, OPS's" You could allocate or design events for the next day to make sure you are successful, whilst not going over OPS macro.

I think the worst thing about posting questions on the forum is that: 1) There usually isn't sufficient data to make accurate or sound advice. 2) Your going to get a million different suggestions. There are some exceptions, but those are my general feelings towards it.

Wow! Fantastic job thus far! Keep it up and you will reach your goal in no time.

My ultimate goal would be to get my bodybuilding natural pro card. No additional rewards will be needed after that :) However I will make new long term goals at that time.

I'm in agreement with this post. First off do not stress about weighing more than you might have last week. Stress is not good for the body when trying to slim down. To get the most accurate reading of your progress you should stay consistent. Trying different little tricks to get a lower scale reading will only hurt you…

Does your BF not work?

Definitely talk to your doctor about something like this. They will be able to give you much more insight on proper nutrition during pregnancy. Remember you are eating for two, so a caloric surplus isn't a bad thing. I'm sure the health of the baby is your top priority anyways, losing weight can come afterwards.

Use your calories that day or don't use them at all. Saving for a whole week may just make it easier to binge etc and fall off track. Ultimately you can do whatever you please. I'm just not sure if something like that would be "optimal" for you, even if it seems to "work".

Yes strength training does burn some additional calories, but no I wouldn't count it on MFP. The inputs for exercise on here aren't really accurate for exercising anyways.

Awesome job! Very nice transformation!

Snacking can get you into trouble :) Id focus on trying out larger meals that keep you satisfied enough not to snack in between. But of course if it fits your macros you can snack all day if you like.

A contraceptive implant will not make it impossible for you to lose weight. There are so many factors as to why you may not be losing weight, but are impossible to pin point here. Fluctuations of 1-5 would probably be completely normal in your case. I wouldn't worry about it too much, unless you have been slacking on your…

Everybody has abs, but unless you have lower levels of adipose tissue you are not going to see them properly. Most people that have abs have them because they have dieted down far enough for it to be visible.

It's impossible to really give any more accurate answers because there are a lot of unknowns. Honestly I would focus on either the powerlifting or dieting. Do you have any meets lined up?

Excellent job! Wondering if this would work with fat free yogurt.

Like Zip said you did good by not eating it all, but there are easier ways to stay on track. Things do get a whole lot tougher when you don't have a working fridge. You may find a good deal on craigslist for a working one. A toaster oven is a great investment as well. Over time you will save enough money by preparing your…

lol Zip you should post your pizza, then I'll post my Calzone. But I guess we are not "normal"?

It's choices like that which will prevent you from reaching your goal. There are plenty of people that prepare their meals in advance. When you do that you never stress over what your eating, you just know. Also that food item can be prepared so many ways "finding an equlivelent" is not remotely accurate. In the big…

Never put anything in your mouth unless you know what it is :) If your out for the day prepare your meals the day before.

Talk with your dietician about it.

Just work on 10 pounds. When you reach that then try for another 10 pounds etc. It's great to have a goal like that, but I'm afraid that may be unrealistic. Imagine how long it took to put the 50 pounds on. I'm sure it wasn't within 3 months.

Awesome work brother. Keep up the intensity and keep it going. If you want to take it to the next level keep close track of your food intake :)

Yes 2oz is going to be the dry weight. So if you are making some make sure its weighed before you cook it.

That spaghetti probably got you CHOwasted! Looks super good man. My last meal consisted of 4.5 servings of ice cream with 1.5 servings of Peanut butter cheerios + 1/3 serving natural peanut butter + Protein shake. 17f/129c/43p
