Nutrition Intake! Any tips?
So, obviously I am doing something majorly wrong with my diet. It's almost been a year now and I still haven't reached a BF% level that I want (BF% enough to show 'em 6 pack, or look leaner, not thin :) ) I lift weights 3-4 times a week and have HIIT cardio days. I just don't know how to juggle my macros and whatnot. I…

LEAN WOMEN W/ ABS! HOW DID YOU DO IT?
Hey guys! I am fairly athletic and maintain an active lifestyle (gym 4x a week). I eat healthily (egg whites, whole wheat, oatmeal) and have avoided fast food and processed ones. I have definitely seen some improvement during the previous months but when I look at my abdominal area, I'm still disappointed. I started with a…

Carb Cycling. Help.
So, I heard of this carb-cycling method that greatly increases your fat loss endeavors. I'm just wondering of how I should do it. Some say that I should do it 3-4 days in a row. Would that really be necessary? Or can I play with my carb eating days? Like have a low carb day every Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; high carb…

Nutrition Problems
Okay, now I noticed that I have hit the plateau. I realized that I am in a state of unhealthy negative energy balance. I just don't know what to do at this point. I exercise a lot - I do Ripped in 30 in the morning almost everyday, lift weights or do karate (2-3hrs) depending on the day of the week. And on Saturdays, I…

Navy BF calculator or YMCA?
I used both the navy BF calculator and the YMCA to get my BF analysis. I got 16.7% and 20% from those calculators, respectively. Now, which one is more accurate? The former sounds encouraging and all but the latter sounds like I still have a long way to go to reach my goal, which is 15% BF. Any advice on this? Thanks :)

Stronglift. Opinions?
I was advised to do stronglift program by a member here in MFP. Is it that effective? And do you only do 5 sets, 5 reps of each? Is the stronglift program effective enough to maximize fat burn? I noticed it's only squats, bench presses, and OHPs. Would that be enough for effective fat loss? Thanks. :)

Any pro tips, anyone?
So, I realized only today that I have been working out nonstop for the past, what, 10 days? I do JMs 30 Day Shred in the morning, then lift weights in the afternoon. I have gym days that last for 1.15hrs for thrice a week, and that excludes the shred every morning. I know I have to stop to take a breather, but I somehow…

I. WANT. ABS
So, I'm a little under 20% BF and the last time I checked was some time around March. If I remember correctly, I weighed in at 19.4%. I feel I have noticeable changes so I guess I got below 19% now. I'm pretty fit and I do workouts everyday. I noticed that some parts of my body are getting toned, too. And when I tighten my…

I GET HUNGRY FAST. ANY EATING TIPS?
So, yeah, I get hungry real fast. My breakfast usually consists of whole wheat bread and oatmeal. For my AM snack, I'd settle for something under 200cal or so. By lunch, I'd be eating vegetables with meat (pork, beef, chicken or fish). In the PM snack, I'd have another for under 200cal. By dinner, it would usually be the…
