muscle wastage in shoulder(with pics)
Hi Guys I've been wanting to get some advice on this for ages. Basically I have some very noticable muscle wasting on the side of my right shoulder. It is very obvious from the front, especially since I started lifting heavy as I have been able to build up muscle on the other side but not on this side. It is also obvious…

sugar addiction/binge eating
I'm feeling rough. I think yesterday I actually managed an all time low/high. I consumed so much junk food that I was actually seriously unwell last night. I usually eat so well, I eat clean 99% of the time and I exercise hard yet every now and then I go on these crazy binges that you just wouldn't believe if you saw me. I…

if fat loss is priority over building muscle?
Hi Guys I had been reading Lyle Mcdonalds rapid fat loss plan and some people seem to react negatively to the idea of it as it involves a serious deficit and despite the fact that is meant to be used as a short term plan to promote rapid fat loss whilst maintaining LBM, people still think it is a bad idea. I just wondered,…

static squat VS bar
Hi guys The trainer I'm working with seems to have a real preference for me to do static squat holds with no weight(about 90 secs, we always try to beat my previous time), followed by body weight squats(about 12) as opposed to squatting with the bar. He says it's much tougher, that loads of people he trains can squat…

fitbit TDEE higher than I thought, so why haven't I lost?
Hi I'm just new to the fitbit flex, but over the last 2 days it has given me a calorie burn of around 2700. This seems very high, although when I considered it maybe I am more active than I thought. I hardly ever sit down but I 'm just out and about with the kids or doing house stuff. Anyway I can't quite understand if…

why does every PT want me to survive on fish and veg?
Hey guys. I saw a new PT last night. He seemed really decent, he has a great track record, seems to get results. He gave me a few meal plans. Firstly I was glad he didn't want to starve me and secondly the macros were good. Unfortunately the rest is the same old story, 6 meals a day, fish, veg, and egg whites, you know the…

TDEE and weight gain freak out
Been reading about TDEE and it makes sense, this whole 1200 calories on non workout days is pretty crap, so thought TDEE after Easter would be be the best way even though the concept of eating that many more calories seemed scary, but now I'm having a panic. As it's been the Easter weekend I have eaten a bit more than…

seeing the scales go up
Hi I've been looking at the TDEE concept for a while and had decided that I would go for it as 1200 calories on non workout days is pretty miserable and I have been losing so slow. I have my calculations done for TDEE-20%. I was going to start today but I just wanted to ask something. As it's been the Easter weekend I have…

carb craving mornings after a heavy workout
Hi I was just wondering if anyone can advise me about this. I follow a primal/paleo diet but am pretty new to it. Some mornings usually if I have had a big workout the night before, I wake up literally just craving carbs. I usually just go for a good choice of paleo banana pancakes but honestly this morning I just wanted…

Exercise at night, eat earned cals following day?
I had written a post earlier about carb craving today and was wondering if it was because I did a heavy workout last night about 2 hours after dinner. Would it make sense that if your workout was after dinner and u were just going to bed after it that you would be very hungry the next day even if you had eaten plenty…

restarting path to strong and slim
Hey, I'm new here. Hoping that myfitnesspal will give me the tools I need to lose the weight that has crept back on since my initial life changing weight loss a couple of years ago. Really want to get to a point where the scales don't determine my mood for the day/week/month. I exercise a lot and would like fitness and…
