Time for a Mini-Cut?
I've been following the All Pro Beginner's strength workout routine for 3 Cycles now (15 weeks) and just started my 4th Cycle this week (deload phase). However, i'm feeling a bit uncomfortable with the amount of fat/weight im gaining (gained about 10 lbs in 15 weeks). Would doing a 4-week mini-cut be too drastic or will it…

Help! My friend refuses to increase his calorie intake.
I've been fairly successful with my weight loss journey all thanks to MFP and the knowledge i learned from here and around the internet. I was able to inspire some of my friends to take on Calorie counting as well but one friend in particular (who is fairly large 5'9 at 220lbs) believes that the less calories he takes, the…

Which Workout program next?

Making home-made protein bars more calorie dense

Peanut Butter stunting my weight loss?
I think i'm starting to notice that on days that I eat peanut butter on whole wheat bread, my wheat hovers around 133 lbs but when I do not have peanut butter for a whole day, I am at least 1 to 2 lbs lower. Can the fats from peanut butter be a cause of my slower than usual weight loss?

Should I increase my daily calories? Need opinions
I've read quite a lot of helpful threads around but I might also need some direct to the point opinion about what i'm doing (so I can improve even more) Just as an intro, i've already lost around 10 lbs and about 15 lbs away from my goal weight (or at least till my tummy gets flat).

Calorie Allowance reset time
I needed to ask this because of my nightshift schedule. I set-up my daily planner from 7am breakfast time to 12 midnight night shift lunch so that it won't be too confusing whenever i go back to regular day schedule (weekends).
