Forum: Nutrition

I'll keep this short: I've been working out for over 2 years with virtually non existent results because I made up my own routines and didn't track calories or macros. Recently I decided to do ICF 5x5 and start aiming for around 3,300 calories a day to put on size (currently 6' 170ish maybe 12%)...

I have pics on body space and just wanted some advice. I’ve been pretty consistent with my nutrition the last 10 weeks sticking with a deficit. My long term goals are aesthetics and basically looking “beach lean.” Hate that term but hopefully you get my point Edit: I’m currently 5’9 176-178lbs

Hello all. I’m currently doing a 6 month suspension training (e.g. TRX) workout program to build self-discipline and workout habit before entering the gym.

It goes without saying that a balanced diet consisting primarily of whole foods is the optimal approach for long term health as well as anyone's training goals, but I'd be curious to know in layman's terms what specific things are going on which make sometimes lower calorie foods result in notably...

Hey gents! **I just saw the sticky on posts like this, just to clarify I'm not looking for any detailed breakdown on my diet. I'm just looking for quick opinions if there's something I might be overseeing. Mostly I'm after if anyone has some sort of experience with liquid diets like this, since...

At the moment I’m ~145lb at 5’7 or 5’8, I eat 3 meals everyday (breakfast, lunch, dinner), which by itself adds up to 2800-3000 calories and I don’t think I’m burning anything beyond 100-150 calories daily unless it’s a cardio day where I’d burn ~200 calories. But, I’m wondering if it’d be...
