Guess it depends on the setting but I definitely get more attention when lean vs bloat. I also feel better. As far as impressing others, a 20+% body fat will never compare to a lean 6 pack. But yeah...

…and what is going on here?? Haven’t been on in a while, spams are out of control.

The only way to get better at running is….to run. Start slow and improve from there. Like with lifting, cardio improves with a system of progressive overload. Over time, you go a little faster or a...

Similar spot op. I was pretty fit pre Covid and posted here regularly. Covid, marriage and having a kid all contributed to my loss of form. Now in my 40s, I’m finding it harder to find the time and...

It sounds like you are dancing around and way over complicating things. As someone said before, it basically comes down to discipline. If your diet is failing because of social eating and chocolate...

Like any diet plan, meal prepping works if you stick to it. You can still cheat on your meal prep just like any diet. It can help simplify your diet and maybe remove a little temptation, i.e. “I...

The takeaway is it’s not this diet or that diet that is the answer. It is whatever is sustainable long term, preferably while getting enough protein. Are you lifting or exercising at all? You...

As mentioned above, the specific diet doesn’t matter as much as staying in a caloric deficit. Have you ever tracked your food and calories? Read the sticky “Don’t Look Past the Basics” to get a...

OP I also have a sweet tooth. When I’m cutting I usually choose low calorie and/or protein rich alternatives so I can satisfy the sweet tooth while sticking to my deficit.

Some examples are halo...

Depends on how much the deficits are for the other days and how much you eat on your cheat day. Basic math, if the sum of all the days is higher than your maintenance, you will gain weight.

In...

Not bad but of course it always comes back to location. Generally I agree - unless you want to live in the middle of a bigger city, you can find decent houses in the $300-400k range in many parts of...

1. decent house
2. $350k

pick one

totally dependent on location of course. Where I live $350k wouldn't even buy a 1BR apartment. Popular area of a big city. In some rural spots, $350k could...

Sounds like you're on top of it dude. I'm sure you'll crush your goals. Good luck!

Doing a combination of resistance training and cardio would probably be best for both results and general health. Weight loss comes more from diet than the specific fitness you engage in. Lifting...

One thing I noticed is you only put "weighed" next to a few items. Does that mean you're eyeballing the other things? Like CommitmentRulz pointed out, eyeballing something like peanut butter or ice...

Weird for sure OP. I'm same height as you, around 165-170, and if I ate 1800 calories I'd drop weight for sure. How sedentary are you outside of lifting?

Eating out can be dicey, but only doing it...

This ^^ (on spread)

If you aren't dropping weight, you aren't "cutting." You may be recomping which is what it sounds like: steady bodyweight with gains in gym.

How are you measuring and...

The trick to cutting and not losing muscle comes down to a few key elements: keep lifting heavy, and make sure you’re getting enough protein. This is where what you eat matters, you have to be very...

As said above, your maintenance calories are lower than they were when you started. As your weight drops, so do your caloric needs.

You list meals but not calorie count. Calculate what you're...

I think you could go either way. Looks like you've built a solid foundation and aren't too fat. Since your goal is aesthetics, I'd say cut, especially if you've been bulking up for the past 8 months....
