^ As the guys above have said, keep it simple.

Losing weight is about the broad strokes, not about precision. Just set a daily calorie target and don't exceed it. Do this for 2 weeks, weighing...

Personally, 1 night doesn't affect me much unless it's high volume training (which it seldom is these days). A few nights on the trot and it does start to take its toll though...

Given that a typical workout probably only burns maybe 100 - 200 calories over and above what you'd normally be doing , I suspect there is no reason to use any kind of special post workout protocol....

At a guess I would say that it depends on the level of glucose in cells and in the blood stream. In other words, it depends on how much was burned during exercise and how much is available to replace...

My general approach to dealing with cramping is:

1. Check you are well hydrated. If you sweat a lot, make sure you are getting enough electrolytes...

Not sure if srs - 1600-1800 calories for a 250lb male?

Yes you can, it's happening all the time. Protein synthesis vs. protein breakdown. It just happens to settle at a lower level if you don't train - i.e. what most untrained people look like

Have a read of the sticky threads at the top of the page.

As you can imagine, this is a very commonly asked question and that information is something everyone needs as a minimum.

Once you've...

Very simple, you get feedback from how you feel. It's a bit like measuring your weight. Novices might panic after 1 bad day in the gym and think they need to rest. More experienced lifters will know...

If you are thinking that different training builds a different type of muscle, that is not the case. From research we've seen that there is a difference in amount of sarcoplasm in different people -...

Looks OK although I don't see a lot of vegetables. I wouldn't go any lower on fat either.

As always, the choices and timings themselves are not as significant as the total calories and protein /...

Use of drugs can't be discussed here - forum rules.

This is very common. The reasons are simply that you have a smaller appetite than heavier people do - and you may also have a faster metabolism.

So you need to consistently eat more than you...

You can use the nutrition from a similar sized pizza - just use google.

If you continue to count calories when you have a 'cheat' meal and continue to stick to the calorie target, you'll soon...

Sounds good but just as a cautionary measure, I would set a minimum amount of protein per day - say 50 grams with a long term average of at least 100g per day. Muscle loss isn't usually a problem for...

Are you still regularly increasing the weights you use? Or adding more reps to sets with the same weight?

Forcing overload is extremely important.

Another point might be that at 84kg you might...

You could put on maybe 30lbs and improve strength in every major muscle group by eating enough to allow 2-3lbs a month and training your whole body with weights on a progressively overloading...

It doesn't matter that much as long as
a. your total workload for the week is the same or maybe slightly higher than before
b. any exercise you do is not adversely affected by something you did...

Each lb of bodyfat can supply a maximum of 31 calories per day. So if you have 25lbs of fat on your body (I am assuming your numbers are correct when BF% readings can be way off) then 750 is safe.

Not as a rule no. If you eat too much, yes.
