Not that long ago, I was in the same boat. Basically had no idea.
I read the noob sticky and followed it. Guess what? it worked. I think where most noobs (including myself) go wrong is that they...

Yep... 3x lift 3x cardio.. Though now I am thinking I'll do 4-5x lift and 2 cardio and try to bulk a little.

I have a terribly difficult time bulking without gaining huge amounts of fat.

Thanks! First pic was taken exactly 15 weeks ago.
My plan is quite simple. I eat at around 1800cal per day and 160g of protein/day. I count every calorie I eat to make sure I don't go over by too...

No.. not flexing.. But I did take both before and after photos first thing in the morning. :) Look a little bit more bloated later in the day.

Hi,
First of all, thanks to everyone here for all the advice. To all who are starting out, the noob sticky is really all you need.

I would appreciate some feedback on my current bf% and what I...

I am on day 5 of creatine on a cut. 5g per day, no loading phase. No noticeable difference in weight loss, energy or lift strength yet. I heard creatine is just too cheap and too good not to use so I...

whatever fits best for your lifestyle as long as you are in deficit.

I think so. I am only 158lb and if I ate that low, I'd feel dizzy and weak. I am cutting at 1lb/week and eat around 1700cal.

Thats really expensive for oats. Get Woolies brand 750g for 99c.

Well 100g of Broccoli has only 0.4 grams of carbs and 3.8g of dietry fibre and 4.6g of protein. I wouldn't count it at all! In fact, keto guys who eat no carbs at all eat it by the bucketful.

I wouldn't worry about it as long as you meet your daily target for whatever goal you are aiming for.

cheat day is too much if you are on a cut. Just keep it to a cheat meal if you must.

wtf?? how big is the jar?? :)

Some nuts are high in cal as well. Like almonds.

Turkey.. failing that hash cookies :)

Yeay... voice of reason

Run whenever you want/can. It will create a deficit for your loss. I wouldnt worry too much about over doing it, your body will tell you when you are overdoing it. ie your lifts will suffer etc. I...

Hehe.. one could argue that the initial 6lb was water weight loss anyhow :)

What I meant by caloric dense food is something that has as little calorie as possible per gram.

Ok.. we all know (or we should) that to lose weight you need caloric deficit. Now that said, sometimes it is easier said than done.

I want to hear from people, their methods of controlling...

Yeah cardio is good but twice a day is probably over doing it. Looking at your body composition, you'd do well with some intense weight training.

As for calories, if you are losing weight, then...
