I mean dinner tonight wasn't massive volume…

Protein shake as a snack (not following exercise)
Hi everyone, I currently take a 38g Protein shake every morning immediately after exercise (intensive cardio/lifting weights). I've never really taken one as a meal replacement or snack. Just wondering on everyone's opinions on using them as an afternoon snack. If you look at my food diary for today, you might see what i…

Craving sweetness in the evening
I couldn't care less about chocolate/sweets during the day, but after dinner i'm fighting the urges to dip into the chocolate stash. Can anyone offer a low calorie sweet alternative? I'd probably have a coke zero, if it wasn't for the caffeine content.

When to start a bulk
I think i already know the answer to this question, but am looking for opinions. I'm 5' 10", currently weighing 166lb's, down from 228lbs. My goal is basically to be more muscular and have visible abs. Strength goals are in there too (100kg bench, 200kg deadlift etc), but my main goal is aesthetic driven (i mean i had…

Thoughts about Intermittent Fasting
What's your thoughts about IF? Immediately I know that one of the many phrases you'll see on MFP a lot is "meal timing doesn't matter". Which i'm not necessarily disagreeing with. I've lost quite a bit of fat by just being in calorie deficit with no funny diet, no small 6 meals a day stuff coming into play. However there's…

Bent over row VS lying down row
Is there any difference from a muscle use, efficiency point of view between a traditional barbell bent over row, and a lying down row? My lower back rounds slightly when attempting a bent over row, so i've been advised against using that lift. Instead i've been doing single arm dumbbell rows. I'm looking to find…

Nearing goal weight. Lots more BF to lose. Need a plan
I'm currently weighing in at 78kg (and BF is 19%). My goal weight originally was 75kg. I'm currently happy with my general size, with the exception of my skinny arms and stomach which isn't flat yet. I want to get my BF% down to around 12%. I also want to get stronger and build some muscle. Over the past few weeks I've…

Loose weight
It's so wrong! LOSE WEIGHT!!! Loose 1. free or released from fastening or attachment: a loose end. 2. free from anything that binds or restrains; unfettered: loose cats prowling around in alleyways at night. 3. uncombined, as a chemical element. 4. not bound together: to wear one's hair loose. 5. not put up in a package or…

My top 4 tips for newbies
For no reason whatsoever, I found myself writing this. Hope it's useful to someone :laugh: 1. Keep doing what you're doing. You may not be seeing any weight loss this week, but weight loss is not linear. This means that it's not predictable. Just because you lost 6lb in week one, does not mean that week 2 will show you the…

Stronglift progress stalling whilst on calorie deficit
For the first time i couldn't complete my 5x5 on the bench press @ 50kg (110lb). I'm hoping it's just a blip, but my upper body strength does seem to be lacking. I'm currently running a 700 calorie deficit from my TDEE. Stronglifts isn't really intended for people in deficit.... so i was wondering how everyone on here is…

Taking a break from the deficit.
My goal is to get down to 12% body fat. I'm currently 83kg, and 19.5% fat. I'm estimating i'll need to drop down to 71.5kg-75kg to reach my goal, depending on what ratio of fat-muscle i lose. I'm currently on a 700 calorie deficit from my TDEE, when i started my weight loss in July 2012 i was 104kg. What's prompting the…
