Weight loss slowing down disheartening
I know, I know! It happens, just been stuck at 220-225 for the last 3 weeks and by all means I've been eating more without upping the exercise. I went from losing 3.5lbs to .5lbs a week and supposedly only eating an average of about 500cals a day more. I'm still losing size, actually rather fast just not weight. Trust me I…

Lose more fat than muscle (BF% went up 1.5% on high protein diet after losing 20lbs)
I might be buying into gimmicks, I may be screwing some part of the formula up, or something I don't know but I'm concerned after my last BF% measurement. First let me give you full information and there are going to be some critical points (that I recognize are bad... but what can you do) Starting weight 249.7lbs, BF%: 29…

Daily vs every other day and morning vs evening.
Is it okay if I just did my bodyweight training daily instead of every other day? I've been doing it for 3 months (admittedly not progressing as often as I should be due to lack of equipment and it takes me awhile to get good form and do things correctly). I find if I exercise as a routine daily then it's harder for me to…

Losing about a pound a day
Look I eat till full (half the time I feel as tho I am going to explode kinda full), I eat approx the time I get hungry if I have access to food, and I really don't want to restart eating mcdonalds to up my calories. The big difference is now I am cooking dinner and eating at the work cafeteria (which serves mostly only…

Played soccer yesterday and shoulders are killing me today, huh?
I mean yeah my calfs hurt a little bit, same with my thighs. But my shoulders, how does that make sense?! Also, I do a lot of resistance exercise, I skipped yesterday because I played soccer and ontop of walking about 4-5miles I figured I might hurt my body but today my body is hurting so I don't want to push it. Should I…

Macro nutrients questions (mostly protein and fat) & General Diary Suggestions?
First my diary is public, look at mostly this week (starting monday, but diet switched to pretty much what I'm doing starting tuesday). First question is does everything look fine (I do not have a kitchen scale though for things cooked at home I'm going off what's listed in as weight from the grocery store and I'm only…

Need help disecting the calories for my lunch for logging
Trying to figure out what I ate calorie wise but I don't think 8oz of kobe beef (1/2lb) is 240calories. Here is it thought 2 Buns (top bottom) 2 1/2 lb patties of kobe beef (approx is fine here) 5 thick slices of bacon smothered in some type of weird mayo like substance. Note it was supposed to be 1 patty with pepperjack…

Eating below 1500 calories/Walking calories & protein needed to retain muscles
So a question of mine is periodically I'll get so busy I'll forget to eat a snack or I won't eat a big enough meal, is this going to hurt me? Also in regards to burning calories while walking (mostly too and from work/2miles each way) do I need to up my protein intake to counteract what i burn or is the policy still 1g per…

Should I do IF?
IF where you do -30% on days you don't work out -10% (or -40% off days/+20% on days) on days you do workout. I don't want to lose a lot of muscle mass. I've been trying to up my protein, lower carbs, and continue to do my resistance work outs (adding in weights next week) to help it target fat on the CR. But I kinda…

Cooking for my kids (3yo/5yo)
So I might be on a calorie deficit diet but my kids shouldn't be. With how active they are and being well fed is key to a budding youth's mind and body growth. I am not going to feed them the same 300 calorie meals (4oz meat + 4oz veggies + 2oz rice is between 250 calories and 350 calories according to USDA and that…

Get more protein into my diet?
Okay from my last post I learned maybe I should take apart my Chipotle bowl, but how about how to get more protein into my diet and reduce fat (carbs I will reduce by eating even fewer breads and cutting out the bit of ice cream I seem to have more often). Though regarding carbs, if I upped my veggie count am I going to be…

5k week deficit for 5 weeks of logging and not a lb lost
To start, I'm 27yo, male, 6' tall, 250lbs, I'm not really sedentary but I list it. I work out mostly resistance and (I listed it as martial arts but it's somewhere between that and yoga) I workout pretty much every other day/every third day. Now I don't really rely too much on the calories burned there I focus more on the…
