Eating 2000 calories a day with a physically demanding job + working out regularly is a recipe for disaster. If you keep doing that, you are going to lose a substantial amount of muscle mass as well...

About 2 pounds, sometimes more if I eat a lot

There is no way your maintenance is only 1600. At your age, do NOT go by what the stickies say because that is for adults who are not growing. You are growing, and therefore your maintenance...

Strange, you are almost the exact same size as me.

Anyways, you just need to eat more - it is as simple as that. Use the formulas in the stickies to figure out your TDEE, and from there add a 10...

Yes, eating too few calories over a prolonged period of time results in a higher percentage of LBM lost along with the fat. If you are steady and willing to wait a little longer for the best...

If you are referring to nutrient timing, it is completely irrelivant and serves no purpose to helping you achieve any better results when cutting aka if you need to eat 2400 calories every day you...

Losing weight is 80% diet and 20% workout, not the other way around. Calculate your TDEE and eat at a 500 calorie deficient. Workout ~5 days a week, and maintain a HEALTHY diet and weight loss is...

Yes, you should bulk. I'm not very good at judging BF, but I would say you are probably closer to 15% (maybe even slightly less).

I'd be very interested to see the same.

Why do you think that?

^ This.

You need to determine your maintenance intake of calories (look @ stickies). Once found, add a 10-20% surplus to this number, meet your macronutrient needs (once again, stickies), and you...

Does anyone else have one of these? If so, how accurate do you consider them (or any body fat calipers for that matter) to be?

Just wondering because mine keeps giving me measures of 6-7 mm...

As of about two weeks ago and through the indefinite future, I am bulking. Is a 75%muscle/25%fat a REALISTIC (or possible?) expectation of gains? Or do most people gain at more like 50/50?

With an IIFYM mentality, there is no need for a "cheat meal." When bulking its very easy to fit ANYTHING into your diet assuming you arn't going beyond realistic proportions (like 3k calories of ice...

I can't tell if this is serious question or not...?

Common sense would say no. Any particular reason WHY you are eating when you feel like throwing up?

Eat your eggs whole!!! Don't believe all the scams about egg yolks - they are good for you.

Buy stevia

Carbs are great postworkout, though its based along the lines that most people are starving after a monster workout as opposed to being an actual "necessity". Don't overthink broscience **** like...
