3 Day Apple Fast
Starting Today I'm going to do the 3 day apple cleanse where you eat nothing but apples for 3 days. It doesn't matter how many you eat, just don't eat anything else. I'm doing this to jump start & get back on track with my weight loss journey after being off for about 2 weeks. Anyone heard of this or done before? What do…

Amount of weight vs Reps
In order for me to build or maintain muscle does it matter how much weight you lift vs how many reps you can do? For example say someone has a weight bench, curl bar & dumbbells at their home. But they only have 60lbs worth of weight. Could they build/maintain muscle with just that much weight or would you have to…

When to Eat?
When should I be eating ? I'm not a person that gets hungry often or craves anything. So I'm wondering if I should be doing the eat 3 hours rule or should I just only eat when I'm hungry? I could go an entire day without eating & just eat dinner as my only meal for the day. Is that a good or bad thing? Is it bad to consume…

Should I eat all my calories?
I've read where it states men & women have a minimal amount of calories they should AT LEAST eat a day. My question is what should I do if I find myself not meeting this requirement?

FitBit Accuracy vs cardio machines
I bought a Fitbit charge 2 about 2 days ago.

This morning I went to the gym for a 30 walk on treadmil. I'm 30 minutes the treadmil says I Burned…

Caloric Deficit
I understand that if you eat 500 calories below what you burn then you will lose one pound a week, also if you eat 1000 calories below what you burn then you will lose 2 pounds per week.

Calories burned
How many calories should I aim to burn in a workout? Is there a certain number or goal? Or do you just exercise until your tired & cant go anymore.

How does calorie deficit work?
I understand the process that 3500 calories equals a pound of fat. So 500 calories under maintainance over a week would be 1 pound loss or 1000 calories under maintainance is 2 pounds loss. My question is this: For example say someone is on a 2000 calorie diet. 2000 X 7 days a week is 14,000 calories. So that's how many…

Eating before bed
I have heard that you should not be eating so many hours before you go to bed. Would this be bad for a person even if they are counting calories? The way I work 5pm-5am by the time I get off if I were to go to the gym I would make it there for about 5:30pm. Say I work out for 30mins then leave to go home. I would get home…
