Fuckin kill me. Cutting to low body fat was so much effort for me as a former fatboy.
Kevin Hall
Front squats are just a harder lift. I feel as though there is a rough correlation between how much you bench and front squat. Your front squat will be nowhere near as your back squat.
Gabriel Evans
I weigh out all my meals for the week and box it up. Everything else is pre packaged. If I eat out, I find the calories for the meal prior to ordering. 4100-4300 calories per day.
Snacks at work: 1340 Nuts:700 cals (weighed on food scale) Granola bar x4: 440 Greek yogurt x2: 200
Dinner at work: 950 Rice: 300 Beans: 200 Chicken: 450
Same thing every day this week. Meal prepped sunday and everything is weighed out
Ian Jenkins
Show me a day from your myfitnesspal food log If you track your cals manually, there's yoir problem. Use a tracker!
Brody Hall
I do track manually.but I obviously pay attention and weigh everything. How would my fitness pal change anything?
Jace Price
I know what your getting at but I'm literally weighing out my ingredients to the gram, and following the nutritional information on the packages.

If you dont stop talking to her and just remove her from your life you are a fucking faggot. There is a shit ton of girls, and you catch feelings for a cunt that doesnt even care about your feelings, what the fuck
Julian Gray
I mean I'll get on myfitness pal for confirmation but I'm pretty certain I'm counting properly. It's not that hard, and I've never struggled with basic math. I'll download the app and enter my food for the day and take a look. But I feel like If I'm making a mistake, entering the numbers into a tracker will yield the same results (correct or incorrect) as manual tracking.
I weigh out my portion, check it to the nutritional information on the package and calculate what the calories per portion size is. Then I just duplicate the same portions for the rest of the meals I'm preparing. Once I have my lunches prepared and have eaten my standard brrakfast, I fill the rest of my calories with snacks I'll eat at work, usually nuts/Granola bars/yogurt. Everything is labelled per portion, besides the nuts which I weigh out and put into a sandwich bag. I eat everything I prepared for the day and rinse and repeat for each day of the week.
I cannot see anything wrong with this system, I do the same thing when I cut and I never have problems with accidently eating over my count through the day as long as I don't eat anything I haven't added. I even lose weight at a steady rate, and do not wildly fluctuate.
I drink over a gallon of water per day, sleep 6-8 hours per night, and do 30 minutes of cardio along with 1.5 hours of lifting, then work for 10 hours in a mill. Same routine every day of the week
Camden Ortiz
Bruh I feel you. Having oneitus is the fucking worst.
Ryder Ross
It completely cancels human error aka overcounting, which is what is happening to you. Trust me, you're not the exception to thermodynamics Try it and see for yourdelf, it's fucking useful

Lucas Turner
Try mfp and get back to use. I may do a diet general thread tomorrow, or here if its still up
Andrew Smith
I'll use it for the next bit and check in. I usually weigh in morning and night, if it's still wonky I'll just up the cals and call it a day

Straight up showed all the numbers senpai, most of its packaged or really easy to count calories for. Going to log it all in myfitness pal from now on and post that if it's still out of wack
Christian Sanders
I know how to count calories properly, I mean when I cut at 2500-2100 I'm fine, I don't fluctuate and the loss is steady. If I wasn't counting properly, wouldn't my cutting be fucked up too?
Juan Long
You might legit have some kind of parasite or virus. I'd see a doctor

I already do. Even so, its very unpleasant to say the least to have to get so much protein just from chicken.
Adrian Johnson
I'm currently cutting and I upped my carb intake at the start of this week just to have some more energy during the day, since then I've lost no weight, I think I even gained some, even though my calorie intake has remained the same. I log all of my food extensively and count every calorie so I don't think I've made any mistakes there. What could be causing this? I'm considering just dropping all carbs again, it makes me feel like shit, but at least I was dropping weight.

>tfw you find out your oneitis lied to you and is actually 16 Did you fuck?
>tfw taking 5 difficult classes next semester and your life depends on getting all As Iktf user, I have a 2.78 GPA and im just hoping ill make it to the local uni when I apply to transfer for next year.
Justin Perez
No, we met on Veeky Forums actually, it just means it's going to be a bit harder for us to meet. Long distance and all that, but she can go pretty much anywhere she wants for college, even MIT is knocking on her door, so hopefully she ends up going to a good uni near me.
How'd your GPA get to that point? I had one really bad semester last semester, failed a class and everything, but if I can do well this semester and show them it's a fluke then I should be okay, I managed to simultaneously fail a class and get accepted to an REU program so hopefully the latter outweights the former since it wasn't even a major class.
Asher Jackson
I had a bad first semester when I was a CS major and got 3 Cs in heavily weighted classes which has been dragging me down. I switched to accounting and I did a bit better the next semester but math fucked me again.
Last year both semesters I got 3.0s and that brought it up again but im going to need a bit more than that to get my cumulative up to at least 3 which my friend got into the same uni with so im hoping I can too.
>so hopefully she ends up going to a good uni near me. Shes 16 and looking at schools already? So shes a Junior in high school? Be careful user.
Landon Harris
I failed my squat yesterday. Was doing 3 rep maxes and decided to bump up my last set to my 1rm for shits and giggles. Failed 3 times and then couldn't do the lower weights afterwards, just not my day.
Jack Ortiz
Ah okay. I wish you the best of luck then. What classes are you taking next semester?
And yeah, she is, but not really, more precisely, schools are looking at her. She's incredibly smart for her age, incredibly innocent, incredibly cute, and apparently incredibly attracted to me, if I am being wary it's only because it seems too good to be true.
Ian Green
60% to 85% of your actual squat is acceptable.
It's a completely different movement pattern to the back squat and recruits different muscles in different ways, so you have to actually learn it before you try going heavy with it.
Logan Hall
Microecon, Poly Sci, Business stats, and Public Speaking. I do get an AA degree after this semester which I guess is nice, but id rather just get accepted to a college.

Find time. You have 16 hours to get ready for work. Is your gym 24 hours? Is it open late? Don't lose motivation.
Christian Taylor
Going through similar with my job. Not easy but we've got to do it,only way to make brah
Camden Myers
Dude, just send her a screenshot that shows she lied to you, say "looks like you don't know how Facebook works", then ghost her. The only way it's fine for somebody to cancel a trip last minute is if they are seriously injured or ill, or a family member died. For her to "cancel" for a shit reason AND lie to you just shows she s a horrid human. Accept this and move on. Don't learn the hard way like me.

But here you say you only weighed your nuts.
Brayden Howard
I weigh everything, it was pre much the only thing that didn't come in a package or pre portioned so I reiterated. I do weigh all foods if I am not using a whole package Ie: do not weigh eggs, single slices of bread, Granola bars etc (go off the package) I do weight rice/beans/nuts etc cause otherwise I don't know how much I'm using.
Didn't make that very clear, my bad. Does that clarify?

Good choice user. Most people dont know, but cheating is actually an offense you can get sued for, so its good you didnt do it.
However thats only if you get caught.

Judging relationships and women by the people looking to cheat in bars is an exercise in confirmation bias. The people who are comfortable in their lives aren't hanging around bars trying to pick up strangers, FFS.

I used to be crazy fit, but fell into a spiral of depression when I broke up with my then gf. I started to stay home from school and just work from home or at night and if I was luck I'd might wake up, if not I didnt care to go. Note all I did was waking up, going to the gym and then play vidya or sleep.
I started to stop going to the gym more and more, at one point I went around 2-3 months without working out too much. I passed my classes with straight B's in all of them even though I never showed up.
I moved back home, since I was so sick of living alone in a different town, and since me and my ex broke up I didnt have any friends. Started working during the summer, lifting again. So I got my physique back, eating healthier. Also dropping energydrinks and pepsimax to get rid of my pimples.
I've fallen in love with this girl I've talked to for ages online. She lives in the same town and goes to the same school as me. Shes 2 years younger and a fucking bombshell. I think she knows I like her, I sometimes come off as needy I feel like.
I just want to not fuck it up, I want to gf her. I want to stick to not eating crap and drinking sodas. I want to get good grades this year as well. Any advice?
Cheers from Norway, anons. >pic related its my back >Already in the gym again for two months now
