Thanks all. I think I probably have been over thinking it and worrying too much. I’ve done some more extreme diets in the past and while the big drop of the scale is very satisfying, I recognise that...

So I’m about two weeks into a cut. I say a cut, but I’m cutting from just being overweight rather than cutting from a good weight and bulking.

Anyway I started at 181 lbs, 28.5% Bf and I’m 5 6.5”...

I'm planning to start IF next week (doing 8 hr feed/16 hr fast) but looking for advice on how much calories to consume.

Info/stats - I'm 5ft 6, 45 yrd old. Currently about 23% bf and 163 lbs....

Thanks Brenden, can you suggest specific exercises?

So I have cervical spinal stenosis, which is basically bad deterioration of the discs in my neck (causes various degrees of numbness, tingling, etc). I'd been advised previously to avoid impact...

Nobody? Guess it might be similar to starting back training after a hernia op?

Recovering from what was most likely a minor abdominal tear just above my belly button. Did suspect a hernia at one point but a ultra sound scan a month after didn't show any signs of a hernia or...

You reckon that low? I was worried it was higher.

Great thread. What are you estimates on my bf? Scale seems to vary around 17.7-18.4 depending on the day. Been cutting bf the last 3 months, but due to injury haven't been able to workout last month...

Fair enough, so if it is a small tear should I still be experiencing some discomfort a month on? Or could all the proding by the doctors, ostepath, etc just have provoked it or even reopened the...

Curious if anyone has had a similar injury. About a month ago I went to pee in the middle of the night and I think I must have exerted a little too much when finishing as I felt a pop and instantly...

Hey, I don't claim to be an expert but defiantly would say your calories are too low given your height and your going to lose muscle not just fat. Most people on here will prob recommend way over...

Well I do get a bit nervous about these things as I have had upset tummy a few times over the years with bad foods, but equally don't want my paranoia to mean I'm throwing away good food. It was...

Lol. Always seen to read about guys cooking up a batch of chicken for a week. Having googled it seems the normal recommendation is 3-4 days but I guess that's probably airing on the side of caution.

Well it's smells and looks fine. Seems like it should be okay.

I cooked up some chicken breasts on Saturday morning and then let them cool and they've been in the fridge since. Will it still be good to eat today (tues)?

Also not sure if it makes a difference....

Okay so maintenance would be my BMR x 1.2 in my case, yes?

So eat 1860 then yeah?

Okay so I had until last week been dieting and working out 3-5 days a week. Lost 23lbs/10kg in about 9 weeks and got my bf down from almost 27% to 19%. Then last week i torn my abdominal wall/sheath...

Sorry meant to ask if I'm eating at maintenance then should I still be watching my ratios or does having sufficient protein not really matter if I'm not currently lifting?
