Are you weighing your food on a scale or estimating portion sizes? 1600 is not a lot of calories at all. Most people who come in claiming low calorie consumption are eating quite a bit more then they...

You answered your own question. You cannot spot reduce fat. You are not yet at the stubborn fat level. You simply need to keep in a deficit and lose more body fat for your abs to show. People...

This depends on how much cardio you are already doing. No need to increase it to ungodly amounts. If you are currently doing none, adding some in won't hurt. Diet will create the bulk of the deficit....

Too slow. There is no reason to add 100 calories a week. I would try to get back to maintenance in about 2 weeks, 3 max. Then start adding 100 calories at a time to achieve the surplus. All your are...

I would for starters question the accuracy of your numbers. Were you dexascanned? If not, the numbers are probably inaccurate. The more important question is whether or not you are happy with your...

Which is exactly why I said I would bulk first...

That's not loose skin. That's just abdominal fat. Loose skin is super thin. Back or your hand type skin. If you can pinch an inch, it's fat, not skin.

1 of 2 things are going on. You are either grossly miscounted calories, or you are malnourished. If the former is true I'd tighten up my counting. Give this guide a read:...

I don't see any loose skin at all, let alone "tons of loose skin". It's probably just abdominal fat. That's one of the places men hold fat the longest. I would personally bulk if I was you. At 5'11...

Losing 22 lbs of fat in a 2 month period is extremely aggressive. It's technically possible but highly unlikely. You would need over a 1000 calorie deficit each day. Combine that with no lifting and...

This is not useful on a thread devoted strictly to calorie counting. If people wanted advice on how to NOT count calories, I don't think they would have clicked on a thread titled "calorie counting...

Yes, zero calorie foods have calories. They have less then 5 per serving so the FDA allows them to mark it zero. Usually people do not consume enough of these products for that to be significant. If...

You don't have to do anything. If you want to be as accurate as possible, then yes you should weigh raw.

It would not include the bones unless it specifically stated that it did.

To answer your first question, the way I do it (I work nights as well) is that I count it as a day until I go to sleep. So Wednesday at 4am is still Tuesday in my book. You can do it any way you...

When you look up nutritional information it will usually say if it is for raw meat, or cooked meat. If it does not specify assume raw. Here's why. If you get nutritional information for 4 oz raw...

I agree. I feel like there are such a variety of vegetable and ways to prepare them that people who say they can't find any they like/tolerate, they simply haven't tried enough different vegetables...

In 4 weeks, you can realistically expect to lose 4-8 lbs. Why does your cut have to end in 4 weeks?

Stop quitting you diet and workout plans. That isn't helping. All you can do is get as lean as possible. If you still have manboobs once you are completely lean, then worry about surgery. You might...
