I have been cutting for the past two months up until this past holiday weekend and losing at a good pace of about 2 lbs a week. There's an event occurring exactly 4 weeks from today and I'd like to...

There you go! I would keep doing what you have been for the past few weeks. You want to have room to drop your calories lower down the road when you really plateau. Keep it up!

You may actually be starting at too large of a deficit. After crunching some numbers using the Calculating Calories and Macros sticky using your height, weight, and body fat and an Activity Factor of...

Stick with where you are for at least another 2 weeks. You body is adjusting to the new lifestyle and is holding water until it can balance itself out again. I was extremely frustrated after 3 weeks...

Bodybuilding has an excellent article called The Ultimate List Of 40 High-Protein Foods. Search for it.

Thanks for your help everyone! I like the idea of starting off slow but aggressive, 20% at a little over 500 deficit. I have been living a very sedentary lifestyle for the past year or so. Should I...

I suppose I should be calculating my TDEE based on what I will be doing, not where my activity has been up until this point. I used the McArdle LBM formula since the others overestimate at high bf....

Thank you! 20% deficit it is. Do my stats sound about right? 1.2 activity factor at the moment.

Using the awesome stickies on these forums, I finally have some real numbers to stick to for calories and macros. I have plenty of body fat ready to go at 38%. Should I start slow at a 10% deficit so...

I had a thread about this about 3 weeks ago. I did two weeks of 1600 calories before I came across this site and saw I was doing it all wrong. I figured out my macros and went up to 2500 calories. I...

Does anyone worry about their sodium intake? Some days mine is through the roof and it bothers me. It shouldn't really affect weight loss, but rather water weight..if I'm under the right impression?

What is your leniency for your caloric intake? For instance, I am cutting around 2400 kcal and my days are within 50 kcal either above or below. Trying to determine if I should keep doing it.

Are you meeting your macros and calorie requirements?

I am planning the rest of my day for my diet and I am left with no choice to eat dinner either before or after my workout because of my schedule. The meal will be 910 kcal, 84 carbs, 33 fat, 78g...

Yikes. You need to refer to the sticky Calculating Calorie Needs and Macronutrients. I have the same body stats as you and I'm eating 2400 kcal, 200G protein, 80G fat, 240G carbs. You have been doing...

I personally use protein shakes to meet my needs in a hurry. I came across this interesting article:suppversity.blogspot .com/2013/03/are-we-whey-sting-money-study-says-no.html

Do you guys recommend getting a caliper?

Yes it is. It will be updated every week :)

The Navy formula based on my measurements says that I have 23.62% body fat..that doesn't seem high enough does it?

How does 3 lifting days and 1 cardio sound?
