How much will I benefit from a clean bulk?
I'm 19 years old, 6'2" male that weighs 160 lbs. I determined that outside of my workouts, I'm pretty sedentary, so my TDEE is calculated to 2175-2250. It sounds plausible to me. For the next two weeks, I plan on eating roughly 2450-2550 calories a day consistently. If correct, this should correspond to anywhere from gains…

Would intermittent fasting work well with graves job?
Hello everybody. I've recently been more open to the idea of intermittent fasting. From what I understand, It's recommend you fast roughly 14-16 hours a day. For example: 8pm to 12pm the following afternoon. I have been unknowingly adapting to this style of eating because of my job. Very often, roughly 3-4 days of the…

Fro-tein? (Protein Shake)
Does anybody else make these? For those who don't know, there's a YouTuber who makes these protein shakes in a certain way. He uses the traditional: strawberries, bananas, frozen fruit etc, with whey and almond milk. The thing is that he adds a bunch of ice to make the shake HUGE! Then adds a serving of Reese's Puffs or…

Anybody else need a huge breakfast for macros goal?
I've been going crazy on MFP putting together lots of combinations for different meals. It seems like breakfast really is my most important meal of the day lol. I tend to eat 4 eggs, 4 pieces of turkey bacon and then a Thomas english muffin. It's so filling and for only 560 calories it gives me a bunch of protein, fats,…

Metabolic Question! I'd love some advice.
Hello. Ever since I started using MFP just a few weeks ago, I came to the realization that I've been under eating. The IIFYM TDEE said for me to be at about 2600. With 15-20% off of my TDEE, I should be eating around 2100-2200 calories a day to safely lose weight. (On a side note, MFP and Scooby's TDEE says that my…

First day at my new gym and I feel SO ecstatic!!!
I finally signed up to LA Fitness and had an absolute blast! The atmosphere was perfect at this particular gym and all the machines I needed were available! Chest & Triceps day was a success! The last gym I was going to was very small and cramped, so I dreaded going there. So glad I'm at a place that positively motivates…

Is running 1-2 miles a day very much exercise?
Hola. I have a nice routine going where I try to do cardio 5-6 days a week. 4 days a week, I walk 1 mile up to my local track and run 1.5 to 2 miles at a 6:30 min pace. It gets me very tired in a good way. But I look on here and notice how much more others run. Should I be slowly upping my running? The other 2 days I go…
