And eggs. Lots of eggs. This. Egg is great protein and easily digestible. But they taste so nasty.  Not if you make them right! They taste like sunshine! Oh, like french toast? I love french toast. I love French toast too. We can be friends. But in the name of protein, I stick with eggs. Pancakes and French toast is a once a month meal. |

snip This thread and others show the exact opposite of this statement. Anytime someone is happy doing less then the powerlifting "Bro's" on the site they are bro attacked. " if you don't lift weights you're weak bro" " 200lbs your scrawny bro" " 250lbs, I'd have to not eat for a month to be that tiny bra" "Bodybuilders are week bro, gotta hit one rep maxes bra, otherwise you got aids bro" I do find these threads amusing though 
Have you read this thread, it literally has every response I just posted. Why you mad bro?

Instead of hating yourself for all the food you eat, you learn to embrace you calorie freedom. You'll look at the calorie budget for the rest of the day, and then you can enjoy the (quality healthy) food your are eating knowing you are still inside the perimeters you've set. Even when I set the app to lose a pound a week, I enjoyed eating. I can tell you, I rarely stopped eating. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I don't think other people are mad that you're reaching your goal. Why are you mad that others' goals are different from yours? Try the word "maintain" instead of "plateau" and see if that helps with any misunderstandings. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
"get stronger" I hear/read that a lot. How much stronger? Continuously stronger and stronger...like forever? Now in my late 40s, body weight moves are very appealing. Add in some dumb bells for flies or presses and such are great additions. But if you only did a mess of push ups, pull ups, squats and crunches and some running you would be stronger/"fit-er" than the vast majority of the world. And you may plateau, but if you are functional, strong and feel good, whats wrong with plateau at that level? Seems like plateau is a bad word. No! I want to be stronger...and stronger...and stronger...oops...my rotator is damaged... But I am only an expert in being me so.... I don't think other people are mad that you're reaching your goal. Why are you mad that others' goals are different from yours? Try the word "maintain" instead of "plateau" and see if that helps with any misunderstandings. LOL. Nice twist. "You still beat your wife? No? When'd you stop?" Not mad at anyone. But you are correct in one respect. I do what works for me and others should do what works for them. I guess I felt the need to add some to the dialog. I read often where people who earnestly wish to improve themselves only to be told, you cannot do it this way or that way you must do this this other way or that other way. I was lending my support (from an older guy in good shape with healthy joints and such...) that body weight work-outs can work and require zero investment other than time. And using maintain versus plateau is definitely a better term. Plateau has a negative connotation (and micro aggression attached) For me, functional is where its at. Cue the Dude meme... |

Just because X food has Y amount of potential energy (that's all the kilocalorie is a measure of) does not mean the body will even use it. The metabolism will break the food down in to various amino acids and use them, store them, or break those bad boys down to synthesize yet another compound. Which is why kCals are nothing more than a rough, rough guideline just as the BMI is a rough guideline. Macro nutrition (which you're doing) is a better way to feed your body as it doesn't starve your body and it provides the appropriate amino acids your body needs without a glut of carbohydrates. 
That said, I have to force myself to eat more often than not

No, there's proteins in there. Gluten, for example, is a combination of two proteins. Not a good source of protein due to the carbs and lack of dietary fat and relative tiny amount of protein, but there's still some in there

That said, I have to force myself to eat more often than not I end up needing to eat more every day as well. I get done for the night, finish entering my post dinner eats, and fall short of my protein and calorie intake for the day. I'm like, "Fuuuuuuu...!" Back to the kitchen.
Today is three eggs, cup of milk and coffee with scoop of protein sup, and a banana for breakfast. Two oz of almonds, mozzarella cheese stick, and Tiger Milk bar for snack. Six oz of chicken breast, peach, and apple for lunch. Not sure on dinner yet. We'll see what the wife unit whips up.

Six oz of chicken breast, peach, and apple for lunch. Not sure on dinner yet. We'll see what the wife unit whips up. I've found that a great late night snack is this. I eat carbs, so it's got carbs. I keep them in the freezer. Tastes like a dessert.

Some are, but not because they are BBs. Most of the bros at the gym doing BB routines are not building strength, with the exception of bench, which all bros do. But strength is a lot more than being able to bench. I can post videos of strongmen, oly lifters, and powerlifters doing all sorts of insane shit. Because they train to build that strength - not just to look good in a speedo. Plus being short is cheating. Everybody knows that. Let's put a 6'6 football player with 40" arms up against a midget BB. Gee, I wonder who can bench 315 for more reps. |

Nah. It is really quit liberating. Instead of hating yourself for all the food you eat, you learn to embrace you calorie freedom. You'll look at the calorie budget for the rest of the day, and then you can enjoy the (quality healthy) food your are eating knowing you are still inside the perimeters you've set. Even when I set the app to lose a pound a week, I enjoyed eating. I can tell you, I rarely stopped eating. I don't count calories. They're an inefficient measurement at best and a complete misnomer at worst. Just because X food has Y amount of potential energy (that's all the kilocalorie is a measure of) does not mean the body will even use it. The metabolism will break the food down in to various amino acids and use them, store them, or break those bad boys down to synthesize yet another compound. Which is why kCals are nothing more than a rough, rough guideline just as the BMI is a rough guideline. Macro nutrition (which you're doing) is a better way to feed your body as it doesn't starve your body and it provides the appropriate amino acids your body needs without a glut of carbohydrates.
That said, I have to force myself to eat more often than not I end up needing to eat more every day as well. I get done for the night, finish entering my post dinner eats, and fall short of my protein and calorie intake for the day. I'm like, "Fuuuuuuu...!" Back to the kitchen.

They say there are more carbs in two slices of bread than in one Hershey Bar. I don't know about you but screw the bread and give me the effin' Hershey Bar! There's damn sure more in a Coke than a mondo-size Snickers.
And the Snickers has 2 grams of fiber. Yeah, but if I eat a Snickers, I am going to wash it down with a Coke. Because diabetes! Like a boss. That now needs to prick his finger. If you burn sugar, doing stuff, it won't give you diabetes. Don't store it if you are gonna consume it. |

I'll look into those. And I do eat carbs. I love them. I try to limit some of the processed carbs. And I keep my carb intake half of suggested, while going over the suggested fat and protein. The 300 is a few calories. But it has twice the protein the Tiger Milk bars have. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You have hips replaced? You need to be talking to your doctor, and a professional sports therapist that specializes in hip replacements about your diet, and recovery. NOT to a bunch of dip shits on the interweb... [/drops microphone]. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: I'm not a dietitian, but I also made the decision to lift. I started stronglifts earlier in the month. This makes me eat differently to try and see good progress. And I've lost 35 lbs last year just cleaning my diet up. You'll need to take my current diet with a grain of salt because I'm also new, and am only lifting in the lighter weights right now. My got to for protein is firstly meat. Mostly chicken as it's cheap. Chicken is $2 per lbs, where beef is $8+. I'll eat chicken at lunch or dinner. Then eggs is the next good source of protein. Breakfast either over easy or scrambled. Then boiled for later in the day. Plain almonds for afternoon snack (no salt or sugar coating). Mozzarella cheese sticks for snack as well. Fat free Greek yogurt with fruit before bed. Lastly, a protein shake. I'll have this between breakfast and lunch. The Matrix 2.0 Chocolate (that was suggested by the good fellows of the Self Defense and Fittness Forum) is really good. I'll put a half a cup of whole milk, eight cups of cold coffee, and a scoop of protein powder. It taste like a frap-a-mocha-chino-latte from EightBucks. Eating this type of food with a lot of fruit and a little veggies usually gets me up to 160g of protein a day and 2,500 calories. I'm told this is a minimum calorie and protein intake. So you might need more or less as YMMV. Thank you sir, I went from 206 in Feb down to 185 on July 22nd when I went back to the Dr. I only eat once, maybe twice a day and I have to force myself to eat three times a day but it's getting easier My problem is I am going to start working out again but I have had 5 hip surgeries on my left him and 3 of the surgeries were total hip replacements. I felt like a guinea pig but it is what it is. I have to start slow on that hip and can't figure anything special to start with so I figure start light. My last hip surgery the Dr told me I have so much scar tissue and a weak leg muscle from being cut so much in the same place that he said after my recovery he thinks steroids would work for me to build the leg muscle back up but my last visit i left and never brought it up Thanks for the diet info You have hips replaced? You need to be talking to your doctor, and a professional sports therapist that specializes in hip replacements about your diet, and recovery. NOT to a bunch of dip shits on the interweb... [/drops microphone]. Last surgery has been quite a few years ago and Dr said go ahead but he has no idea how to approach it so I am good but need to figure out how to go about it Hell my last physical therapy was leg presses , Dr just told me i had a lot of scar tissue from being cut 5 times in the same place and said i do need to build it back up I may have it covered already |

As I said earlier, today I did:
Squat 340 5x5, extra credit squats 435 x 2 Overhead press 130 5x5 Deadlift 345 3x5, extra credit deadlifts 365 x 5 Assisted pullups and dips Ran 6 miles. Next Wednesday, the run goes up to 7 miles. That's right, bitches, I lift heavy shit (getting closer to where I was pre-surgery), and then follow it up with a long run right after. Where is your gym god now? |
