Who follows the meal plan?
So, honestly, I didn't even read the book very much, I'm young and in shape and flexible so I wasn't too worried about hurting myself, so I just wrote down the workouts and anything I didn't know how to do got pictures of those things and did the workouts. I never followed the meal plan, I started with I think 1400…

Honestly, is this considered very heavy?
So I'm a girl (obviously), around 5'7" and I believe I weigh 160 because last time I got weighed it was in clothes and on my period (i get the bloat) and I was 167 so I'm assuming around 160, but I don't weigh regularly because I get uptight about the number. Anyways, I do NROL and do some cardio (running mostly (only like…

What do you like to do in the holidays to keep from gaining?
Other than the obvious like working out regularly (really every day for me), and trying to eat balance and healthy as always, in the holidays I log everything I want to eat, including snacks, dessert, everything I think I will eat, but leave a margin of a couple hundred calories so that if I have a little extra something…

Sitting in a bathing suit...or anything form fitting
So I eat healthy, am trying to lose some fat, lift 2-3 days a week, and do some kind of cardio every day, even if it's just walking around my college campus. Anyways, when I sit down I feel so insecure because I have rolls, and yes I know you can't get rid of them, but I'm in good shape, not overweight, you guys can see my…

Calling Women who lift heavy!
Can you guys say what kind of program or whatever you do, (like NROL etc), your height, your weight, and your size? Because I find my weight very heavy for my size and I was wondering if other lifters have the same thing maybe it'll help me feel better about my number!

Lower Stomach sticks out
So I would definitely say I'm in good shape, when I'm at home I work out every day, and when I'm at school it's a very hilly campus so I get exercise just walking around, and I also lift twice a week and dance 1-2 times a week. I'm very strong and can run at 5 or 6 mph for 20 mins straight without really getting tired or…

Microwave 140 cal chocolate protein muffin/cake
So this is an awesome recipe. It might vary a little bit if you use real egg whites instead of liquid cause I used liquid, or depending on the cocoa and stuff but mine turned out to be 140 and 14 g of protein! and it's SO good. Mix all these ingredients together in a microwavable bowl: 2 Tbsp coconut flour (can substitute…

What will taste good in my green tea?
Okay, so, I like to get iced green tea from starbucks and while I like it on it's own I sometimes want something sweeter. But one of the reasons I like it is cause it's calorie free, but I don't like honey, and so I want to add a flavor to it. I love it with raspberry but the sugared versions have 23 g of sugar, so I would…

my right wrist hurts when I lift?
So when i lift my right wrist hurts. I've tried to modify my workouts (I do NROL) to put less strain on it, like I switched push ups with chest press for example, but it hurts a lot after a while doing anything like even holding a lot of weight. What do I do? What could this be? It's not like I'm lifting too heavy nothing…

dramatic differences in body very quickly??
So, just the past week hasn't been too amazing for me, I only got to the gym twice to lift (I like to do 3 times a week) and was working a lot and really tired and at the beginning of the week it was before/during my period so I was having really strong cravings for sweets and I tried to control them best i could but I…

So in the fall or winter I tried on this floaty black crop top that was so cute but when I tried it on I looked terrible! Well today I went shopping and it was a deal on buying 2 shirts, I had one I liked and they had the exact same style shirt (but in orange and white) as that one I tried on a few months back, I figured…

Weighing your food....how do you do it?
Okay, so I've had some issues with knowing what to log since I have gotten my food scale. I love it and for things like snacks or raw veggies and peanut butter and stuff it's great.

NSV and a question
So the other day I went looking for some high waisted denim shorts. I went to a couple different stores and they were sold out. Outside Levi's there was a rack of $14 shorts. I couldn't find the sizes on the tags, they would say like 2 or 4 but that clearly wasn't the size (maybe the style??) because multiple shorts that…

So I've been hungry....Why?
So, I wanted to see more of a reduction in body fat percentage and since I don't really have much time to add cardio I reduced my calorie intake by 100 calories, I've been super hungry since. But the problem is...on days I work, like today, I was on my feet walking around and stuff from 10-5:15 with only 1 30 min break so…

How accurate is the skin caliper measuring for BF%?
So I bought a skinfold caliper that had really good reviews and stuff, and then I used it (on myself) to do a 7 location bodyfat estimate thing and it said 20.7. My question is how accurate is this if I'm doing it myself because most of them I can easily do and read but a couple like the subscapular inparticular are hard…

Creatine?
So I'm 19 and a girl and I do NROL and I really want to gain strength and be really lean and low body fat percentage, so I bought a small container of ON micronized creatine, I've heard different things about it.

So, I'm at a healthy weight, and I'm happy with my size, I just want to be firmer, aka have a lower body fat percentage, i don't know what it is currently, I'm guessing between 20 and 25 I just bought a caliper but it hasn't arrived yet.

Upped my calories, gaining weight?
So I know this sounds at first like a stupid question, but basically I upped my calories from 1600 to 1800 which according to every calculator is under what maitence should be, most of those say at least 2000 and others where you add in activity level say all the way up to like 2800 so I figured 1800 should be good where I…

Eating "clean" and "whole" and having fewer cravings?
So just literally this weekend I really started focusing on eating more "clean" whole foods and normally i have really bad cravings for sweets at night and it doesn't cause so many problems because I know that I will want these things and I leave room for them, (making sure i hit my macros and stuff) so I never worried too…
-
Just sharing cause I'm proud
So literally just yesterday I decided to really try to eat more clean (not completely cutting out everything because some easy go to low cal stuff that aren't "clean" are really useful to have). But anyways, I already feel better, more energy, less tired, but sleeping better but not a need to just keep keep sleeping, and I…
