Great job on the competition! 2nd place on your first show is amazing. By the way what show was that? NPC, USBF?

That is a heck of a lot of calories, but you seem to be gaining at a good pace so it works for you. Your protein you could cut in half and still be fine. You have to do what works for you, but you...

Why don't you post what your actual macros are from those foods? I feel like what you have posted has to be a huge amount of protein. If you have a hard time gaining weight why don't you just eat...

What is confusing about that? Apply the minimum protein and fat intake recommended in the stickies and you can fill the remaining calories with whatever you want to as long as you also hit your...

Yup. Both my parents are from CT. They retired to PA where they pay about $2K a year in property taxes for a nice house. Now CT doesn't get anything from them. Don't forget the taxes they charge...

Stop with the ratios! Figure out your minimum amount of protein and fats and fill the rest however you want to reach your caloric requirement. For example 200 grams of protein and 80-90 grams of fat....

What amount of weight have lost in what amount of time? It could be either you are not in as much of a calorie deficit as you think and/or are underestimating how long a cut takes.

Your focusing on too many things. Eat more to gain weight and hit your macros. Don't worry about sugar and thinking that fat has to be x percentage of your diet. Hit .8-1 gram of protein per pound...

Interesting study. Would be nice if they did more on trained individuals. Keeping my meals spaced more throughout the day during this cut.

Some may do that, but most of the recommendations I see are to stay around your maintenance calories or possibly a slight surplus and go lower in fat and slightly lower in protein so that you can...

Yes use that sticky. You should aim for .8-1 gram of protein per lb of bodyweight and .45 grams of fat per lb of bodyweight at a minimum. After that you can have any of the macronutrients you want...

Thank you. That explains a lot. I didn't fully understand what happened to all the extra protein above the 30 grams. I think I have a better grasp on this now.

[QUOTE=Mrpb;1442613831]How many meals do you prefer to eat per day? At what times?

It all depends, but I usually eat about 4 meals per day spaced out at least a few hours. More so asking as I'm...

Ok. One other question and sorry if this sounds stupid. So say if I am maximizing MPS several times throughout the day, but am consuming additional protein beyond that amount each time and end up...

I hear a lot on the nutrition forum that you should ideally consume about 30 grams of protein spread out across several meals to reach your protein macros. I am still confused on how your body takes...

One pound is 3500 calories not 500. Also fat doesn't turn into muscle. You can lose fat and gain muscle but one can't turn into the other.

You have been doing a great job. Why are you looking for even more success? Losing almost 50 pounds in the last 3 months is almost 4 pounds per week, meaning you are averaging about a 2000 calorie...

Having her do fierce 5 with you would be a great start. Doing as many ab exercises as often as she can isn't really going to help. She needs a solid muscle base and low body fat percentage. You...

How does that fit your macros? How much fat can you possibly be getting from eating only that?

It is fine to use as long as you are still hitting your macros, micros, and fiber.
