Calorie-dense foods are your friends. As noted above, peanut is great. You can drizzle olive oil over many things to add lots of calories without feeling like you're eating a lot. Eggs are a great choice, and a lot of potatoes, rice, oatmeal, bananas, etc. If you're also lifting weights, don't worry about gaining fat for…

The only way I can do this consistently is to eat the same thing every day

(G)O' Canada!

The gyms are opening soon! Anyone else been locked out for a long time and excited to get back to it? Feel free to add 😁

Slow and steady is the most sustainable way

Currently 40%p 35%f 25%c

Using a food scale is a must for me. Weigh everything you can, you may be surprised to discover how little the suggested portions of things really is.

You're doing awesome man!

💪💪💪

In my experience man that usually leads to resentment & ghosting by the reciever. I hope you find cheerleaders that support you 👊

Perhaps setting a goal to log your activity on your newsfeed for X number of days would be a way to get things started? You can make easy like " Walk 1/5 completed" or something. MFP works great as an accountability tool

I think that's a win! Keep up with your logging, then you can look back and see what you can change up to feel better. ps: The diary was a water tracket that can honestly help make it fun to drink water.

Hi all, please add me if you're interested in building a supportive friendship! I'm by no means perfect but I try to support everyone on my list as best I can. The gyms are closed but I'm logging every day and trying to lose a few lbs that I've put on during the pandemic. Cheers!

Nice. Haven't missed a day since i started using it. I didn't join the community until way after but I've been friends with some people for almost 2 years now, it's crazy

Pushing 700. There are day's I don't log but I always take a minute to come on.

Calorie deficit is the way to go. All the best 👊

Glad you're keeping up with it Jamea & you're looking ripped!

Even in winter i prefer to be in shorts and either a tank or t-shirt. I had a lot of trouble finding shorts that weren't either too long or too wide, without being skin-tight. I finally did find a good pair from gymshark (🤦‍♂️) just before the gyms closed again and I'm considering getting a couple more pairs of the same…

On the left is today. On the right is what I consider to be the best I've been, before covid. I will get back there 💪

I wager that losing weight isn't what any of us want but losing fat and looking more defined is what we're after. For me that entails being in a caloric deficit. It's of course easier to retain muscle when you're lifting, which I can't do with the gym closed. My goal is to maintain a deficit and lose some of the fat I put…

It depends on what your goals are, right?

Appreciate your accountability dude 👊

LOL if only a work-out pump would actually last. Generally speaking I look the most lean in the morning before eating, and the most jacked in the changeroom after a lift

The gym is closed here so I can't really do much lifting at the moment so I'm doubling down on diet to try and lose some of the covid weight.

Good idea man I suggest taking one each month and comparing as you go. It's hard to see the difference day to day but build yourself a progression

LOL call it "2021: The 'Before' Edition"

LOOL thankfully mine haven't made an appearance yet during this lockdown but I'm definitely thicker in the middle 🤷‍♂️
