Meeting macros on tight budget

I know I could change some things up but could definitely use some suggestions. My diary is open and I humble myself before you all. Will take any and all advice supported by SS or Sarah.

Battlefield 4
So got it Tuesday, absolutly awesome campaign, but barely 8 hours, going to give multiplayer a whirl this weekend.

What do you listen to?
I am not looking for music really, I am more looking for free audio books or podcasts that you have learned from. Nutrition, fitness and health related. I am sure most people listen to music to pass the time but I get bored of music, prefer to learn something while I am being entertained. Very hard to read while walking,…

Calories, Fats, Protiens.. Oh my!
Hello all! So I wanted to touch base and ask some of the ladies doing SL5x5 what you think would work best when it comes to diet while doing SL5x5. I am asking this for both myself and my wife, but primarily for my wife. I was recently advise by a very active member on the strong lifts inner circle to increase my calories…

Has anyone started with less then 45lb bar?
Hello, fellow 5x5 fans, I know this group is for women who do 5x5 but I am here on behalf of my wife. In all honesty the SL5x5 group for women is way more active then the mens group. Not to mention the ladies have 2k+ members and we have a little under 300... So anywho. My wife wants to start 5x5 with me, but is very very…

Caffiene and "sweetener"
No idea if this has been mentioned and I did not perform a search because I have some specifics that I wanted to talk about. I have always been a dunkin donuts addict. Before I started MFP I was getting large coffees with extra cream and extra sugar. Not really a coffee fan when it comes to taste, I just want to pick me…

To scale or not to scale?
I have heard from friends that hit the gym or do lots of cardio say to stay off the scale for at least a month after starting diet and exercise. I know that it takes time to drop weight and I also know that when you include strength training you might not see lower numbers. My wife keeps saying I have lost weight and…
