Ditto that. Bottom line is they're just estimates. If you're stuck, adjust the calories down or up until you get results.

WTF is an average person? Idiotic concept at best.

If your goal is to produce pain, you failed. If your goal is to get stronger or fitter, probably not.

Bodyweight exercises are more than enough. I live on a diet of handstand pushups, pistol squats, L-sits and bridges three times a week. Haven't touched a weight in over 6 months & stronger than ever. Check out Ash Kalym - book & YouTube, and GMB Fitness.

Gaining muscle while losing fat is the holy grail. It can be done, but not everybody has the genetics to pull it off. Most humans have to pick one at a time. Muscle is built through resistance training and excess calories. When it's time to burn off the fat, eating a high protein diet helps to preserve muscle when your…

Squats build legs best. Mix it up with some sprints or suicides. Upper body should be a big pull (pullup progressions or lat pulldowns) and a big push (bench press or pushup progressions).

Free weights. Better for the joints, stabilizer muscles, balance. A much more productive workout. Machines are good for rehab from injuries. IMHO there is no place for sitting on your *kitten* during a workout...except cable rows.

Maybe you're a diabetic. Get checked.

Try half levers (L-sits) on pushup stands and hold them in perfect form. You will burn. Work up to doing them on your hands.

Fuhgeddaboudit. Use the new scale for what it's worth. How do you even know or care if the old one was giving false readings. Most people will swing about 2-3 pounds on consecutive days depending on how much time has passed since they ate and used the toilet. Use calipers to track your fat. They're more accurate. Gaining…

MFP is a calorie tracker. If you want to track detailed workouts log on to Fitocracy. It's the best site/app out there with a similar community.

Use a bunion pad or stack a couple of them over the cyst, then use boxing wraps or a glove over the top.

Try getting your butt down lower and more knee flexion at the bottom. The real action is at the bottom of the movement. You're almost there. Work on extending the other leg.

I had a Great Dane who ate like this and lived a long, healthy life. BS aside, it's not a problem if it meets your goals.

Cups measure volume, scales measure mass. Learned it in first grade. You'll get more grams of cereal into your cup the more tightly you pack it. That's why scales are more accurate for squashable things.

Two main benefits: 1. increasing protein intake keeps you from losing muscle when you're in a negative calorie balance, 2. eating protein along with carbs reduces hunger by blunting the insulin spike you normally get from carbs. Shakes are just a cheap and convenient way to get the protein into your system.

The more muscles you move, the more calories you burn. Rowing is good. VersaClimber would be my pick. Nothing works if you eat too much, though.

Get rechecked off the cold meds & make sure you're relaxed when they check it. Sometimes the blood pressure reads high if the cuff is too small for your arm. If it's borderline, try losing a few pounds and it might take care of itself.

@PikaKnight you post too much. Give it a rest. :)

Strength before cardio.

Fitocracy is the best I've seen. It's an app and a site. Blows jefit and everything else away.

That's not food. It's garbage soaked in oil. If you like it, bon apetit.

I work out fasted all the time. All out. No big deal. Eat afterwards. Ditch the 7lb curls for pullups if you want to get stronger.
