Flexible dieted all the way to my profile pic. HTH

Many over the years. Got told by an obese lady that the sugar free pudding I was eating would make me fat. Just yesterday, "I love banana bread, but it is so fattening". Me thinking, well so is everything if you eat too much of it.

Also, you are well under your required protein. I have no idea how you aren't starving all day long.

I've already said my first bit earlier. But also, I am not going to assume that you have weighed and accurately logged. If that is the case, it may be time for a diet break as you have lost a fair amount of weight already. Your metabolism will slow down when you are eating under TDEE. Larger deficits and longer time…

In the OP's case of using the exercise log (that is rarely accurate) it seems like she is using the most useless function available on the website pertaining to weight loss.

Nope. Everyone who knows me, knows that I'm very accurate with my food intake. And that goes for cutting or bulking phases so just because you are weighing food doesn't necessarily mean you are trying to lose weight.

For my BB comp prep, last year I ate: am: quest bar, protein shake during the day: 500g cottage cheese, 40g peanut flour, cinnamon, sf maple syrup, strawberries. Rest of the day: mix it up and hit macros. I was contemplating marketing as the cottage cheese diet :tongue: Oh and the reason I chose these foods is A: they are…

Either, your written down estimates are overestimated or your cals burnts are overestimated or a combination of the two. Also, 7 day rolling average of weight will even out the fluctuations. As well as that, take pics and measurements as scales only tell you total mass not what it is comprised of.

you need to provide more information to get any sort of useful answer. Currently, my answer is to eat less carbs.

more interesting (to me) deadlift stuff http://affectinggravity.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/lifter-profile-bob-peoples.html

May have changed now (I'm 32) but we were taught the laws of thermo dynamics but this was never applied to nutrition (or exercise). That was straight up basic science. (I didn't elect to do PE or anything like that so maybe some basics were taught there) However, you still have so many people that think they are special…

logging is number one for me. Shopping to ensure I have enough protein. Planning most of the day in advance and ensuring enough protein in the first few meals that I don't have to eat 500g of meat for dinner. Still being flexible enough that I can sub out things that I had planned to eat if need be and not stressing about…

peanut butter and ice cream. put them together. eat them while you are on the leg press for better gains.

No probs mate. I agree with you on the first two points also. Keep experimenting to find out what works best for your leverages/strengths and weaknesses.

and some more deadlift geek stuff from a friend of mine (who is ridiculously strong) 370kg PB. Credit to Fuzzy from FPG Adelaide. Today we will continue with the topic of deadlift bars their flex. But this article will be somewhat arbitrary and pretty useless for most people. This is because we are going to discuss the…

Totally agree. Unless OP is "enhanced" and even then that is at the very upper limit. More is not always better.

PB&J sandwiches are pretty hard to make without bread...so I would not be cutting that one out.

My main changes I guess would be: switching from sugar soft drink to diet (same quantities) reduced meal frequency (still have large volume and typically fairly high cal meals) I don't really have too many "junk" foods in the house. If I want some, I'll buy it when I actually want it. Does that make me a clean eater? LOL

NEED to eat? Really? As I stated earlier, having your protein feedings spread out during the day is likely to maintain LBM on a cut better than a single feeding but unless the person is very lean it is actually unlikely to make a substantial difference. For myself, I skipped breakfast during bb comp prep last year all the…

chicken, chips and veg snickers cheesecake cheesey bacon mushrooms soy sriracha chicken, taters and broc roo spaghetti bolognaise 6 eggs and bacon

what is the opposite of orthorexia?

You don't NEED 3 meals per day. It is however, in your best interests to spread out protein feedings throughout the day as repeated smaller protein feedings (which meet the minimum leucine threshold of 3g) will stimulate MPS more so than larger infrequent feedings. This helps maintain LBM in a fat loss phase, and gain lbm…

seconded. I'd say moderately active would be a good start.

If you have the time in the week and you are eating enough to recover, I would recommend it. If you are on 5/3/1 doing a second day with something like 70% of your max for 3-5 sets of 8-12 would be a good start. More practice, more volume, more frequency to stimulate muscle growth. :smile:

Lyle McDonald doesn't agree with your setpoint is BS. http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/set-points-settling-points-and-bodyweight-regulation-part-1.html/ All you need to know about it in that series.

You've been given great info so far. I'd suggest at this stage upping the cals a bit though. 1500 at 130lbs is still low for the amount of activity it seems you are doing. Your maintenance cals are probably a bit lower due to the dieting so far. As you increase, your metabolism will increase and it is likely that you can…

^^^ well said After reading the Bulgarian weight lifting book by Greg Nuckols yesterday, the idea that squatting more than once a week is bad is laughable.

Do you even periodisation? And in4vids of 5 reps at 93%. OP: What are your primary goals? Studies have shown that multiple sessions per week with volume equated showed greater hypertrophy (and strength increases) than less frequency. Keeping check of total weekly volume is key. e.g. if you are currently doing 5x5 say one…

this or concentrate.
