Why don't you weigh yourself right before and right after you drop the deuce then subtract the difference from your morning weigh in. Better yet, toss the thing on a scale.

I've done Fuhrman and Fuhrman + steak. I prefer the latter.

I do calisthenics (handstand pushups, pistols), ringwork, speedbags, and random sh#t, but I don't chat about it much. Kettlebells too. There's a group or two on Fitocracy. I've done Convict Conditioning in the past, worked through Ashley Kalym's conditioning book.

If you want to burn cals with kettlebells, I would recommend swings and snatches. You need good form or you'll injure yourself though so seek out a local instructor to get started. I use a heartrate monitor to estimate cals.

The sugar content in grapes varies greatly. Winemakers take advantage of this for a living.

Tuna gets boring fast. I haven't heard of anyone getting mercury poisoning from canned tuna except for one dude from NY who ate 10 cans daily for two years straight.

You're not responsible for anything. The government will take care of you. Lawyers will help you claim irresponsibility for anything that you might have been responsible for. Rest assured.

Everyone reacts differently to a full stomach in the gym male or female. Lumping every human who exercises into male and female assumes that every person of each sex has identical physiology. I personally can't stand the feeling of fullness with either weight training or "cardio". I like to sip a little coffee during…

Abs are made by staying out the kitchen as frequently as possible. Exercise will grow muscles. Fat loss will let you see them. Your milage may vary. NFL linemen spend lots of time in the kitchen and in the gym...no abs.

You are stating the obvious for reasons unkown. CICO is a tool. A component of fat loss strategy. You can't lose fat without it, but you don't have to lose muscle because of it. Obviously, not all calories have equal nutritional value. 8 ounces of fish or veggies has more nutritional value than 8 ounces of vodka. That's…

Nutritional labels are based on raw weight. Cooking dehydrates the meat. In order to factor in the effect of dehydration, you have to account for how much dehydration is caused by cooking. For well done meat, multiply the cooked weight by 1.5, medium 1.3, rare 1.1. These are ballpark estimates based on people weighing meat…

A high calorie day after a long run of low calorie days recharges the metabolism and helps break through weight loss plateaus. You can plan it in advance and you'll be fine.

Sardines 16g/can and 140cals. Whey protein into water bottle 20g/scoop and 100 cals.

Get K-T tape and you should be back in business quickly. I've been there, done that, feel your pain. My sister turned me on to the tape when I was hurting just like you and it literally eliminated the pain as soon as I applied it. YouTube has videos on how to tape the foot properly. I spray pre-tape adhesive beforehand and…

Eating more calories than you burn makes you gain weight. It's got nothing to do with carbs or macro ratios. The problem with carbs is that they spike your blood sugar faster than other food groups and leave you hungry sooner. You should balance your carbs with fats and proteins to control hunger.

Bodyweight exercises. Check out Convict Conditioning or Complete Calisthenics.

Look in the mirror. If you're too skinny, eat more. Forget the BS "data" and move on.

Chia swells in water. Better to let it do that outside your belly so as not to overfill yourself.
-
High protein, low carb, low fat and lots of water.

Coffee. It's psychological.
-
Vegetables + veal chop.

I ballpark a 1-hour weight session at 200-300 calories and eat a little more on those days. Nothin' fancy.

Rice is a carb with most of the nutrients washed out. A six pack is all about low body fat. A low calorie diet will get you there. A low calorie diet high in protein will keep you from getting hungry or losing muscle.

I put the yolk in my mouth along with the rest of the egg. It's delicious and filled with healthy nutrients. A true superfood.

Whatever beast mode means to you, it's probably a better idea to start gradually with short, low intensity workouts and very gradually increase reps, intensity, etc. Try bodyweight exercises to better develop your functional strength and balance.

It's the holy grail. You can't gain muscle mass without eating above maintenance and you can't lose fat without eating below maintenance. So you alternate between these two divergent goals, train for strength, and preserve muscle mass by increasing your protein intake whenever you eat below maintenance.

1 egg in my microwave takes 35 seconds, 2 eggs take 55 seconds. 8 eggs scrambled with a slice or two of cheese takes me 2 minutes on a frying pan that took 2 minutes to warm up. Toss a few slices of ham on top. Bon apetit.

Coffee.

I've used this approach for interval training, but not weight training. For weight training for strength, I use 2-3 minutes between sets.
