Body Type & Macro Nutrients-Male ectomorph
Hey, I have asked a similar question in the past, but I have been doing some research and just wanted a few more opinions. I know in the long run if I continue to eat a caloric deficit I will loose weight. So really this is more about curiosity and I want to fine-tune my macro nutrient goals. What I have found on a couple…

Doing Squats and bench press VS bars
So I recently started lifting heavy (well heavy for me is light for most guys) & doing compound exercises. On weekdays, I go to my condo's gym which doesn't have a squat rack or bench press. But I use dumbbells to do to do those same exercises (they have a full set of dumbbells). On weekends I have access to a normal gym…

Fat Macro, Carb goal
So I wanted to pay more attention to my macros, not just my calorie goal. I am set up now for 45% carbs, 30% protein, 25% fat. I was eating 1500 cals/day (-1.5 lbs/week), I just upped this to 1750 (-1 lbs/week) based on some advice I just got on here. I noticed 3 things: 1) I am consistently well under my fat goals. 2) My…

Deadlift technique
So I have been working out a long time and recently started lifting heavy. One exercise I added is the "deadlift". My problem is, I have watched videos where the grip they use to hold the bar is different. I have seen it where the person holds the bar with their knuckles facing outwards (like an upside down fist) & others…

Doing more pull ups help!
So I am a male and recently started adding pull-ups & chin ups to my routine. I am skinny fat but I have been working out for some time so I hoped I could at least do some. I can do like 2 chin ups and 0 pull-ups. It's horribly embarrassing at a gym. Normally I don't care but it sucks not being able to do 1. What exercises…

Might be going a cruise..not good.
So my family is pressuring me to go on a cruise right before our X-mas holidays. I don't really want to take the time off work, but just as important, I know it's very easy to gain weight on a cruise. I have worked really hard and only lost a pitiful 4-5 lbs & still have a long ways to go, but that can easily all be…

Pre Work Out Supplement while eating defecit-thoughts?
Not sure if this belongs in fitness/exercise or here. So I got a groupon for a max muscle nutrition store not realizing I couldn't use it for protein. So I bought this pre work out deal called FBX-full blown extreme. It has creatine & caffeine. Now I am realizing I think I made a mistake in getting this, and I should have…

Nuts, peanut butter-benefits vs calories?
So I have read a lot of people's posts saying they eat nuts & peanut butter, and the are within the goal. I can understand the benefits of these items, but sometimes they are high in calories and fat. I can see working them in calorie wise and be under my goal. But I am VERY nervous when I see the fat content. I feel there…

How to unlink my fitbit
Like the title says, I need to unlink my fitbit because I lost it. Please help I don't want/need that on there anymore. EDIT: I figured it out, nevermind, go to APPS, select fitbit, and then disconnect. Duh!

Male-Only one area is sore after workout
So I am trying to loose fat and build up strength. I started increasing weight training from what I used to. Last night I had a hard work out focusing on my biceps, back, and chest. Did bench press, curls, machines, push-ups, etc. Then I did some cardio at the end. This morning only the upper sides of my back (left &…

"Cheat" Day Success stories
So I lost all the weight I wanted to by using MFP, but then gained it all back. Entirely my fault because I stopped logging once I hit my goal and ate too much food and most of it was unhealthy. I want to loose 15-20 lbs and go down to a 32-33 inch waist. I am 6'1 male 175 lbs in mid twenties w/small frame. I go to gym 5…

Berryhill Grilled Fish taco
Hi, Does anyone know the actual calories in grilled fish taco (specifically berryhill Mexican restaurant)? On MFP, it shows only 166 calories per taco, that just seems way to low. Online I see 200-240 for grilled fish tacos.

Reached goal but did not get results.
I pretty much reached my weight loss goal and got back down to my college weight. (I fluctuate within a few lbs of my goal). Problem is, I still have a pot belly. I am fine everywhere else. My goal is for a flat stomach. Is there something diet wise that can help? Or is it my frame still cannot support this weight and I…
