- Creatine is pretty straight forward, I used to just mix the powder with my pre-workout or water during the day
- Whey protein, I actually try to get enough protein through foods, but will take a...

Hi All,

I've been in and out of the gym for the last year without any actual schedule or regime/diet. The gym used to be something I was always motivated to do but I've lost that feeling and I...

My assumption is that the majority of you guys have a set selection of meals that you alternate through during the week. I wanted to use this thread for everyone to post what their eating so...

Thank you for all your help on this. I'm interested in lowering my bodyfat.

What's interesting is when I go to recalculate my macros, they differ between kg and lbs. Am I missing something?

WonderPug: Thank you for the feedback but what you posted is already what I've gone through and calculated to get the numbers that I posted in my original post. Do let me know if maybe I am missing...

So this weekend, I decided to go forward to try this IIFYM type "diet"

I'm 5'10 and 170lbs. I'm looking to get "cut" so at a 20% deficit, my target calorie rate is 1733 with a macro breakdown of:...

Ok, so based on that:

Target Calories Intake is 2000

Protein: 167g * 4 = 668 calories
Fat: 84g * 9 = 756 calories
Carbs: 144g (576 calories / 4)

Is my math correct? And the logic of this...

This is the first time I've tried to calculate my macros but here is my understanding and just wanted a confirmation:

Calculating Calorie Target

BMR = 370 + (21.6 * LBM)
LBM = 75.75kg (167lbs)...

So I've been trying to stick to my diet and things are going well however I keep getting sidetracked.

Chips, cheetos, etc.

What is something that will subside my chips cravings?

Within the bottles of the L-Carnatine and Green Tea, etc it says that I should take more than one capsule throughout the day. Should these be taken as directed on the bottle or just preworkout

Quick question about the supplements and when to take them.

Currently, this is what I'm taking

Morning before work:
Protein Shake with Creatine
Green Tea
L-Carnitine
Yohimbine Oxyelite Pro

Today is Day 13 which is supposed to be a rest day, but I had an evening event last night so I had to switch my rest days around. I did Day 12's workout today

Reverse Grip Pulldowns (8-10...

Hello All,

I'm on day 11 and things are going well. Although I'm not making as much as dramatic changes as everyone else, I think it is due to the fact that I am already fairly "thin". I can...

Another update:

I've been switching days around because I was out of town this weekend. So I jumped to Day 8 workout in order to have my two rest days fall on Saturday and Sunday.

Chest &...

So I went to yesterday's workout (Day 5) but forgot to post in my thread. In addition, today (Day 6) was supposed to be a rest day, but because I will be going out of town this weekend, I did Day 7s...

I could eat pistachios and almonds all day but like referenced below, it may be too many carbs. I think I'm more worried about the sugar and fat intakes on the nutrition facts. Like I said, there...

Yesterday was day 3, so I didn't post. Kept to my diet and did my cardio

Today was day 4 and it was back and biceps. This was the first workout where I had to go to the gym after work. I did my...

With the diet, we shouldn't be taking in any additional fats other then what we are naturally consuming from our protein sources (meat, poultry, fish, etc). Almonds or nuts I believe are high in fat

So I'm currently on the Kris Gethin 12 week workout program.

I've never really been one to have a problem with my weight regardless of my diet because I've always been active (played basketball...

Would I be able to snack on beef jerkey for this diet? I'm looking at the nutrition facts and it includes 70 calories, 520mg sodium, 1g fat, 6g sugar and 11g protein in a 28g serving size.

I'm...
