>>70318665Guys I went to Guasaca the other day with a friend and didn't want to be a faggot n be like 'i can't eat, I'm on a cut' so I got two kids meals. Problem is I can't find the nutritional information ANYWHERE. They have 5 brick and mortar stores at least and I'm pretty sure it's illegal. With every passing hour I just got more and more pissed. That chicken was a bit more oily than id have liked. Should I report them to the FDA? I emailed the company twice for info and no response.
>>70318787You will be fine, holy shit.
>>70318787What one?

>>70318764Clumsy and Froggy
So im doing a 16:8 IF right now but im not sure its doing much for me. What fasts do you guys use or recommend? i try and keep meal time consistent but its difficult with my work training right now.
>>70318867>He fell for the fasting meme
>>70318867The only one I recommend is skipping breakfast, any more is not worth it
>>70318848First one minus the juice and I only ate one side of beans.
>>70318764I like all this lore
>>70318815I mean, will I? What the fuck. How many grams of protein? I had to drink another protein drink at 150 calories cuz I had zero idea how much of anything I got. I'm running this baby clean. I train hard every other day @ 1500 calories. If I miss one days protein requirements, I'm fucked. Plus it's a law for a reason. And it's sus you can't find any info anywhere. Mother fuckers.
>>70318867Fuck a fast bro. Like I'm sure the hours matter whatever whatever but just count the calories.
>>70318904200 calories per each arepa. Looks like about 150 calories of grilled chicken or 4oz fried in about 120 cal of oil. 470 total times the two you ate so 940 calories.
>>70318935Plus the beans of course.
>>70318867Time Restricted Eating/IF is a tool to help you limit your calories by artificially setting time slots where you can eat (limits snacking, etc.), but doing a 16-8 IF does not make you lose weight faster just by the process of fasting itself. It's a tool that works for some people and doesn't for other people> i try and keep meal time consistent but its difficult with my work training right now.and it doesn't look like it's working for you.IF is supposed to make it easier for you to fit less calories in a day, if you're fighting the method then you need to find something else that will work better for you.
>>70318867I guess I fast because I only really eat 12hrs a day, but when im awake I eat every couple of hours. Eating regular smaller meals fell out favour somewhere along the way, but it works for me. Probably eat 5 or 6 times during the day for my daily cals.
>>70318867IF is a meme. Do 48 hour fasts or longer
>>70318935I'm reporting them to the FDA immediately. Absolutely fucking not.
>>70319033what the fuck bro
>>70318915You are seriously over stressed over a single event. Your life isn't ruined because you ate poorly one day of your mult-month/multi-year journey. Especially if out the other end you can maintain. I would say being this neurotic about a single meal a single day is probably bad for you mentally desu
>>70319042What do you mean what the fuck? It's the law for a reason. It's why you avoid going to certain restaurants. It's why we know McDonald's is bad and in what detail. The amount of food that was damn near 1000 calories from this restaurant wasnt filling and Ive been shrinking my stomach for MONTHS. I tried emailing them a couple times and got no response. It's ridiculous. How many grams of protein? Oh no one knows? Get fucked.
Can someone give it to me straight, is buying a bike like this a retarded idea? I'm 112 kg and 187cm tall, work from home and have been trying to incorporate exercise on top of counting calories.
>>70319066At the end of the day I don't really give too much of a fuck about one meal though it did trash a good streak I had going. It's the principle. How the fuck do you have five locations and no info? How do you ignore emails when someone asks you?
im 5'9'' 230lbs, 3 years ago i was the same weight and lost 80lbs. Gained it back boozing. I'm gonna fast all the weight off and keep it off this time. See you all in 3 months.
>>70319074I was always thinking about it, was planning to get up and cycle every morning before work while it was still dark outside. Never happened but was going to look into it. Those type of bikes seemed to range from the very cheap to the very expensive but they all looked the same. I enjoy outdoor cycling and now get my indoor cardio fix using the eliptical or rower at the gym.
I have hit a complete wall at 81kg/178 pounds.I am doing one meal a day, I am slowly building up lifting more and doing more bodyweight exercises (did a 3 minute plank today).I'm also doing 3 3 mile runs a week.I've cut all the chocolate, eat loads of lentils and still nothing is working. Am I gaining muscle weight at the same rate I am losing fat or something
>>70318787>>70319033>>70319080This is an unhealthy obsession at it's face, fellow /fat/s. Don't have this relationship with food.
>>70319069I'm gonna tell you a huge secret... most labels are bullshit. by law you're allowed to be 20% wrong and that's for products made on assembly chains with insanely low margins of errors. when it comes to cooking in restaurants, it's all bullshit. you think the cook is perfectly weighing your portion of chicken, using the exact same amount of oil every time, etc?you need to dial it back like 200%
>>70319098IT'S THE FUCKING PRINCIPLE. IT'S THE ONLY GODDAMN GOOD THING OBAMA DID. WOULD YOU RATHER LIVE IN THE DARK AND ACCIDENTLY EAT 1000+ CALORIES WORTH OF BARELY ANY CHICKEN LIKE I DID?! REEEEEEEEE
>>70318787walk in and request it in person, they are required to keep the information on hand.
>>70319094Interesting, I'm planning on doing something similar to what you described. I wake up at 4:30/5:00 and would be nice to do it before work. Considered the gym since they already have all the equipment there but I feel like I'll sabotage myself since it takes 20 minutes to get there.I get the feeling that most people who buy don't use it so I'm wondering if its worth it or not. Aka, are they not using do to being lazy? Or is it simply a bad equipment to have at home?
>>70319137WELP NOW THEY CAN PUBLISH IT ONLINE LIKE THEY LIVE IN A CIVILIZED SANE SOCIETY. IT APPEARS THEY HAVE YEE'D THEIR LAST HAW.
>>70319097age? weight? BF%?
Hey guy's sorry in advance for the schizo ramblings you're about to read, but I have a real, urgent question.So, I was 450+ pounds, I'm ~225 now. I am 5'9 male, and according to those scuffed body scans I'm 27% BF, remember that this skin is fucking my BF and my weight, so.... Anywho, I'm getting loose skin surgery this May, I have 7 weeks roughly until it happens.... My ultimate goal weight is 175, this is unsustainable, at least for the first run, there would be no way my fat ass could maintain 12% BF. 15% is 185, 18% is 195, etc.... I would one day like to be in the 175-195 range..... For the last 8-10 months I have been trying to reach 205, where I once was, and felt like dogshit, was food focused, etc. I've been binging and cutting and binging and cutting (I tell you this for my TLDR question).... I would like to diet to ~205-215 Pre-Op and give myself 2 weeks to maintain it to see if I like it before the surgery, I can gain more if I don't. BUT I feel like I should really give myself a true break, and fix my fucked up hormones from the B/P cycle I've been in, as well as be 100% for the surgery..... My TLDR question is should I do a rapid diet (maintaining mass) to cut some last lbs before loose skin surgery? I can maintain this weight, it's simply the cutting causing binges before you guys say something..... I will respond with my defense as to what I think will happen if I cut vs if I maintain...
>>70319113hes right to be upset y'know
I lost weight too quickly (30+ lbs in 4 months) and now deal with very cold hands and feet all the time.What can I do to deal with this without binging and gaining all my weight back in no-time?If I eat a 300+ calories meal the cold sensation quickly disappears. Even if I wrap myself in a blanket it takes quite a while.
>>70319189you need warmer blood try transfusion
>>70319165well you have the weight but I'm 28 and 178cm, don't know bf but I still have extra stomach fat
>>70319167>If I cut (succesfully)I'd be able to truly have a "clean shave" off my skin, no worries about how it'll look once it's done, etc.>If I cut (failure)Dear fucking god idk, binge back, make it worse, gain weight, feel even more like shit??? idk>If I maintainI'd lose nothing, teach myself good habits, fix my fucked ass hormones, have a true fallback weight.Also think about this. --- If I maintain and get the surgery, I'd be about ~205-215 after it, then because I'd be down all my gains would wither away, therefore when I go to cut again, instead of a slow, shitty cut, causing me to feel tired and binging and such, I'd be 100% refreshed, get nothing but my gains back, and cut weight while gaining strength, so I'd end at oh ~185 at 18% bf, then do a slight cut or bulk once more and be good?VSHa ha I lost 10 pounds and learned nothing, but at least I'm leaner?? And then I also have to deal with surgery fatigue, and mealprepping then tooI really know what I'm typing, but as you can tell the Binge Purging has fucked my brain, all I want to do is get lean lean lean. Fuck bros.
>>70319167heres a secret, build more muscle and the extra skin you have after the surgery and after more weight is lost will be filled in with muscle and wont matter. You've made great progress, prepare your body for recovery and find some steady footing for your current size as recovery will likely take a hot minute
>>70319189Wear socks and a sweater. Sounds like bad circulation.
>>70319224So I'm actually relatively close to "natty limit" at my size. according to scuffed scans I'm 165, lets assume 160 cause fuck those, either way I'm only 15lbs off, which is a lot, but that's still way more than the average 5'9 person has.I think surgery said ~2 months, I expect 3, Like I said in the reply to my post I think it may be a good idea to do a slight bulk for these 6-8 weeks maybe even. Because once I deflate from lack of movement, I could Cut and Recomp, something the average fatty doesn't have. Also, and something I really will try my best not to happen, is I will probably not want to eat for shit during this time, but I told my parents (helping me) in advance that I will attempt to mealprep, and just give them a plan of exactly waht to feed me if needed.
>>70319181Goddamn right I am. Thank you anon.
>>70319217Imo talk to your surgeon anon. They're going to be more experienced with positive and negative outcomes pre and post skin removal.
>>70319164The law is that they have it at the place not that it must be online. Besides I don't even think the law applies until they hit a certain size. Either way I gave you a good estimate. You are just mad cause you be cheating on your diet.
I fell off the wagon for I think about 3 days after losing 8 kg. I don't think I gained all the weight back (Pretty sure that's near imposable) but I'm still disappointed. I was ridding my bike to the store to get my goyslop so at lest I wasn't sitting on my ass waiting for uber eats. I hope I'm going to make it bros.
>>70318665FattyContestJustMeatFishSaltButterAndEggs 279 lbsI cheated on my diet for St. Patrick's Day.
>>70319292
>>70319211my bad I meant height not weight thanksYou are my weight and 3 inches taller (like 8 cm) so I would presume your BF% is closer to 15% than 20%. I am sitting at 21% right now. Beginner or just youthful gains could be making up the difference. Keep in mind muscle is more dense than fat so while your visible size may change your weight could be the same. You seem to have fine endurance, so I doubt your body fat % is close to mine. Point is, you are probably in pretty solid shape and need to either change your diet or increase resistance training intensity to make any further changes to your physique.
>>70319319>guasaca only has 6 locationscrazy anon in shambles
>>70318665FattyContestECEAnon380 lbs Feels sickening to type that number. Will enjoy posting it going down.
>>70319189Don't blame the weight loss, it's your diet that makes you cold.
>>70319292It's up to God now anon. But thank you for the estimate. At least now I know to never give up control. Never give into temptation. Always remain steadfast in my convictions. And to always hate the antichrist.They should've answered my email. Their mistake. >Verification not required.
>>70319293How many weeks was that 8kg?
>>70319336This sounds schizo as fuck but he's probably right. I had circulation issues and inflammation that solved itself when I stopped eating large fries and started eating a lil bit of spicy shit for anti-inflammatory properties. My hands and feet have never been more temperate.
>>70319319Ohfug
>>70318764The chicken
>>70319291He made me so in plain English "I can maintain this weight", he didn't let me continue until I said those exact words. He also said it doesn't really matter but be within striking distance of Goal Weight (which I am, practically a dirty bulk away) and to be in a surplus POST surgery, also just in good health Pre. So basically don't diet, but fuck me....

Anyone here ever have to heal an anal fissure? Got one after being severely constipated and it's insane how painful it can be. Went to a specialist and he gave me some cream which helps some but it doesn't seem to be fixing the problem.
>>70319519Consider it your month anniversary break and get back to work. Cheat more responsibly next month. wagmi
>>70319574damn things going well with the boyfriend eh?
>>70319590Turns out a combination of leftover pizza into general tsos and beer has the same effect as getting tossed by antique farm equipment in jail. Wouldn't recommend it.
>>70319574Yeah I had one because of ulcerative colitis. I was going to kill myself because of the pain. Didn't have health insurance so healed it without going to the doctor. Sometimes they do require surgeryAnyway here is the technique I used. Mine was different because it was caused by diarrhea eating away at my insides. Still the technique should work. After you go to the bathroom or just now if you aren't going much you need to get into a tub, but you aren't taking a bath. The goal here is to use the spigot to wash and clean your anus. You are going to have to use a finger and really clean the inside of the anus. The warm water will make it easier to do this. After you get it clean enough you can fill the tub with hot water and soak to temporarily help the pain. After you are done use the doctors cream. I used max strength preparation h. Treat the pain with max strength Tylenol. You'll need to take it to the point of overdose to deal with the pain. You could also alternate with ibuprofen which will help the pain but it may slow anal healing. Hope it helps anon. Don't kill yourself.
>>70319671Also make sure you really get the cream in there. It may sound sick but you got to clean the shit that is stopping the wound from healing then get it covered with cream.
>>70319671Going to go do that asap, didn't want to sound hyperbolic but I was legitimately glad I didn't have ammo in the house the first time I had to go after getting it. I'm on 800mg of Ibuprofen after every time. Tempted to fast for however long it takes, losing weight and healing this thing should be a godsend double combo.
>>70319696I would switch to the 500mg Tylenol. 2 pills every 6 to 8 hrs. Ibuprofen is great as a muscle relaxer and helps inflammation but Tylenol is better for wound pain in my experience. If that is not enough you can add 400mg ibuprofen once every 24hrs to the Tylenol to help you sleep. Though if you have liver problems this can be dangerous.
>>70319728No liver problems thankfully, appreciate the advice anon going to make that swap.
>>70319696If you're healing you probably want more fuel for your body to actually use. You are shooting yourself in the foot by being in a huge deficit in this specific situation imo
>>70319746That's the problem for them though. If they eat more protein it encourages wound healing. But if they eat more they shit more and it will slowdown healing as they rip open the wound and pour shit on it. Then have to spread the wound with their finger to clean and put cream on it. Anal fissures are bad man. Really bad.
>>70319074I bought a cheap one, used it for two years before it broke and upgraded to a peloton. Easily the most fun I've ever had working out, super convenient and approachable. If I were to do it over I would probably try to get a cheaper middle of the road stationary bike with a big 30+lb flywheel and magnetic resistance as a must.
>>70318984That might be something to look into. i have a problem with over eating if i have free reign with eating small meals and snacks. although when i fast i crave crappy food more. maybe ill just change up what i eat and what i got laying around the house
Hello fellow nunbros. At a wedding. Will leave early to go to the gym. Covered my plate with 3/4 veggies and that prime rib. Only had 1 slice of cake. Will duck shortly to go gym.
>>70319839I personally eat two meals a day. Rarely do I ever eat breakfast. Lunch will be a <=400 calorie meal and dinner will be around 1000. This saves me my 90 calories for a homemade cookie I keep in the freezer. Allows me to make a basically normal dinner. Just not a pound of noodles. Half pound or less.
>>70319981You are supposed to fuck the bridesmaids for cardio. Don't worry though at my brothers wedding none of the girls gave a fuck about me and I was skinny and fit then.
>>70320006Confidence. When I was 210 with a six pack I had none. Me fat I have less of a wall but I meet more women.Regardless I'm still having a good time here. This is my year. I will accomplish so much other than the weight loss and break free of the the things holding me down

Hey, idk where else to ask this but I need to lower my triglyceride by a decent amount in 2 months since it's almost 700 (apparently I am healthy in everything else though according to the doc) or else I get put on meds.I'm a lazy collegefag and picky eater so I'm going for simple meals.>celery & peanut butter, yogurt, string cheese, grilled chicken, maybe brown rice during the week>might have a pb sandwich on fridays>red meat like hamburgers, steak, ribs, etc. on weekends (all grilled)>quitting soda and only drinking water>considering pic related for snacks too>do at least like 30 mins of cardio per dayI'm only concerned about the red meat on weekends. Before I was just eating shit like frozen pizza and hot pockets, plus a lot of chocolate snacks so I guess this should be an improvement regardless. I normally just have dinner and then a late night snack, still planning to do that.Thoughts?

>>70320054That's good man. I'm a loser no matter how fit I am. Wasted life at 41.
>>70320074A low calorie diet will slowly reduce your weight and triglyceride levels. If you aren't interested in something like that then my dad had the same issue. He ended up eating a lot of turkey and broccoli and stopped eating as many noodles. His levels dropped. Also he stopped eating chips and I think was the last one in the house that stopped drinking Pepsi.

I fucking hate cooking.

>>70319333Checked and welcome aboard. Its tough to put in that first weigh in, but keeping myself accountable each week also been the best thing ive done for my weight. Dont forget to include your height at least once so the contest can work out your BMI.
Today ive hit 30kg lost in total so far since joining fatty contest. Was a slow start but going along ok now. Id like to think im over the halfway point. I took a look at the time frame of losing each 10kg. Thought it was interesting.>First 10kg - 115days>Second 10kg - 53days>Third 10kg - 56days
>>70320420Possibly, but don't give up until you've finished playing your hand. I'm 27 and I definitely feel that it is over for me too, and it sounds like we are in a similar situation. I managed to lose my virginity last year, but it honestly came down to being lucky. Now that memory is just a painful reminder of how miserable my existence is ordinarily. I'm continuing weight loss out of curiosity about what my adult body looks like as something other than a bloated mess but I don't really have anything to live for aside from the fitness project. I've lost 55 lbs and have entered a "normal" BMI but I still have lots to lose. I've been lifting too, but I don't seem to have good attitude for it, through perhaps I will respond better in a surplus. I don't want to leave this life without having at least tried, you know?
How do you change your personality to enjoy working out, and not want food so badly?I was thinking hypnosis, or some kind of habit building technique? When I lost 50lbs (300 -> 250) it was by curing a depression and cutting out most all unhealthy foods. But I haven't figured out how to cure my strong urge towards seditary behavior, or my anxiety revolving around needing to feel stuffed and sedated (especially in the evenings when by judgment is worse from tiredness) I feel that if I can address this, I'll be able to loose the next 50 that has been yoyoing for the last 5 years. Any ideas?
bros dont fall down 4chan incel territory. Work on yourselves and you can get out of it. See a therapist and work on issues that you feel are holding you back. lift some weights, and get healthier and pick up habits that dont involve sitting infront of a computer.
>>70320775>hey guys, any ideas how i can stop being a tremendous faggot and sucking ever dick i see???
>>70320775Increase salt to counter hunger cravings. As for the enjoyment of exercise I don't know. Progress helps, but maybe something you like to do. Running, biking, lifting.

I had a moment of weakness and eat a bag of Tostitos...
>>70321090A moment of weakness is a handful. You had a half hour of weakness. You should hit yourself on the side of the head very hard. I did it when I ate a second cookie. Still a little sore there two weeks later.
I will lose this weight or kill myself
>>70321242Oh don't be so dramatic. I recalculated how long to my ideal 170lb weight and it was 10 more months. Though I do hit 205 in 5 months. I'm 247lbs now. My point is your journey is long.
>>70318665I hit my goal in September where I went from 175 at 5"8 to 145. So far, I have maintained my weight loss in the 6 months since then. However, I hear that a decent percentage of people end up gaining their weight back within 5 years. How have any of you dealt with this?
>>70321264Well the issue is that weight loss is the first step. Then you have to bulk and cut cycles to get to a better body fat situation. I've never gotten that far myself. I just lose them slowly gain, lose, etc. If I don't count calories well I gain.
Is pho/Vietnamese the best cheat day meal? As long as you go easy on the noodles I assume.

family keeps telling my I'm getting fatter and fatter even though I haven't gained any weight in over a year and have the logs to prove it. they think I'm just coping/in denial
Last year I started biking multiple times a week to lose weight, and eventually got all the way to doing 22km in 1 hourthen I started working and winter came, so I stopped doing any activity for months and months, and yesterday finally I biked again (my weight loss has stalled tremendously and hope this will move things along a bit)took me 1 hour 25 minutes to do 18km...Hopefully it doesn't take me too long to get back in shape!

Reposting cuz I got no replies last threadMy roommate ordered some creatine and I pitched in half so we could share it. Been taking it every day this week. Is it any good for fat loss? I know it makes you retain more water so maybe the numbers on the scale will be bigger but I think that's in the muscles right? Basically what I'm asking is: does it impede fat loss in any way?
>>70321910depends on how fat you are. If you're below 18% bf i'd slow it down to 1lb per week. If you're like 25% bf + you'll probably be losing 2lbs or more just from being consistent and strict with exercise/diet.

>>70320423You are setting yourself up for failure by attempting to cook food every single day. Meal prepping is the way to go, no way around it. Typically when people get frustrated with menial tasks they revert back to their old eating habits. I find that meal prepped foods are better with just a little extra olive oil or a reheatable sauce added in.

I know I’m still a fat fuck at heart when my OMAD is ruined. My bacon egg and cheese had two tiny pieces of bacon and literally a single egg. Ruined the morning.But anyway. Got the nicest mire from a coworker I hadn’t seen in a month. I dropped maybe 15 pounds in the last 30 days. She just kept saying I look so different, especially in the face and such. It’s a nice gentle reminder that this is all working.
I measured my bmi after running today and It was not fat for the first time in agesI'd like to thank all the anons, nuns and ducksKeep on trucking lads
sw: 240 lbs on new yearsgw: 120 cw: 194ht: 5'9"
huge LOL at people with russia tier metabolism. im currently eating fried pasta with cheese and don't even worry about losing my abs
guys wtf happened. weighed myself on Thursday: 164lbs. Weighed myself today, 169lbs. at the weekend I did have a few beers and fried food (didn't overindulge, but not the healthiest food). lifted weights and did cardio as well. I'm debating just abandoning the scale entirely for a while.
>>70321944Unless you are lifting, or like doing some form of sport/cardio, it peobably don't do anything. Makes you lift heavier/run longer and that burns more calories.
>>70323046>i ate like shit and partied>i gained unnecessary weight>wtf guysare you a retard?
>>70323084counted calories the whole time (had 4 beers over the entire weekend and a chicken curry, but didn't have anything else other than protein shakes for the rest of the day). 10k jog on saturday. just wondering how tf the scale can jump so much in less than 3 days.

there's a perception out there that muffins are healthy pastries. and they probably are when it comes to raisin bran muffins, but nobody actually eats. in reality, you want the chocolate chunk banana bread muffin, right? And at that point, you may as well just swap it for a donut
>>70318665My wife and I went out for ice cream cones last night. I got 2 scoops in a cone. Even counting it as 800 calories (way more than what it was) I was only at 1900 for my total. All the carbs still had me wake up an extra pound and a half heavier. I fucking hate it.
>>70322431Typically small amounts of slightly viscous and sticky milk chocolate brown and non-solid non-smelly poop every few days. Not diarrhea, as it's not watery. Its painless and I don't need to use much toilet paper, so no complaints.

8 months sober and I miss beer so fucking bad bros... Were I not on a diet I think I would've fallen back into the habit; fortunately those calories are a really good deterrent. I used to casually drink 4000 kcal in one sitting, in fact that's likely why I gained so much weight to begin with.
>my morning walk barely broke even the protein bar I ate in the mornings>my every night binging of roasted & salted peanuts offset my daily deficit>I was on a maintenance despite 1 hours cardio and day long "deficit" diet>for a whole month>I stopped doing both yesterday>whole day of pissing>oh shit here we go again>woke up drenched in sweat in the middle of the night>immediately run to toilet for pissing>weight myself in the morning>immediately start losing weight again>I can sleep one hour extra too>I'm still peepeeing.I was just being retarded and only cheating myself.It's almost all water weight but it's close to half kilo-1 pound so I'm on the right track to lose weight again.
>>70323283You would notice this if you'd ever ventured outside the confines of the general
>>70318665How long until the water weight has come off when starting a diet and I can start tracking the actual fat loss? I have lost 2kg in two days.
>>70323413>People who eat less lose moreOkay, but unless all of these cohort ate the same number of calories what does this even prove? I've done IF 20:4 and the main outcome was that I was less able to consume calories given the restriction. When I switched to eating whenever but keeping myself to the same caloric intake nothing changed about my weight loss.
>>70323531Don't forget that the BMI loss from not snacking amounts to 0.02-0.08 PER YEARIt's placebo at best

I wanted to share my progress(male 170cm).I started eating less at the end of july, checked /fat/ when I started plateauing at 112kgs. After that I tracked myself daily doing CICO.I am trying to lose 1kg/week, but I am having major difficulty going down to 1300 as suggested by sailrabbit(Hell, it says 1100 calories for sedentary) currently I seem to average 1500 cal a day, with 150g protein. I seem to particularly crave and indulge myself with fruits.Also, I can't seem to motivate myself for lifting. I can walk for 2'ish hours everyday no problem, but just get bored when lifting and drop it. How do you guys motivate yourselves?

I also know motivation can be fickle since it isn't always there to help you through moments of weakness, especially in peak struggle hours. I didn't even feel like I struggled that much. My goal weight is 210, and I do have a decent amount of muscle mass so I probably grossly underestimated how many calories I burn. I really want to retain my lean mass as, in eating too much, I did in fact lift heavy and have progress to show for it. Next week I'm half expecting a plateau or a decrease in lifting performanceWe're all going to make it and maintain, I promise anon's.end blog

>>70318665I just want to thank whatever anon came up with the goyslop meme. Just having that word in my mind helps me avoid candy, HFCS, fast food, and all the other garbage holding me back. Now I'm down 10 lbs in 6 weeks. I even explained it to my wife and she immediately stopped eating oreos (the only snack she eats but is what's keeping her from going below 165 lbs). WAGMI bros.
>>70324394I love this word too. And I love how even my non-antisemitic friends use it because it just rolls off the tongue so damn well.
>>70324361Yes, but I knew I was going to eat out and made it my only meal of the day. 10 large chicken wings with blue cheese, so a decent amount of protein and fat. I guess that's false, I had two scoops of protein that morning but I made part of my plan to not be hung up on small stuff like this when all other factors of my week go well. I told myself this on Wednesday when I ate a ton of food. Over the course of the journey shit like that will happen, so long as frequency decreases. It's very possible that eating out once and eating a ton that one day might have made the rest of it more sustainable, who knows.What I do know is that I probably underestimated my calories, but I'll keep this same deficit since I was able to mostly stick with it.

Any other ketochads in here?
>tfw still in the 200s cause ive been slacking this month
I went on a stint for a month where I was exercising 3 times a week, quite intensely for at least my shape. And found I would be passing out during the day and if I didn't increase my diet I couldn't continue to exercise. I eventually quit the routine as it was fucking up my job. Should I have just ate and exercised less or eat more and kept the routine? For reference I went down to 65kg from 85 kg in a month.
>>70326320Fat loss is always going to to be about eating less. Ideally you should add exercise too but sticking to a consistent deficit should be your top priority. Having said that 20kg in 4 weeks is pretty unhealthy unless you're a literal midget.
>>70326348Yeah I'm a 5'8" manlet. Woe is me.
>>70326348wouldnt it be worse if hes a midget, 20kg if youre a 6'5 150kg freak maybe yes, but 85 to 65 is crazy.
>>70326348Fat burning is not about eating less, it's about being in the primary metabolic state to tap into your fat stores. You can achieve this through diet or starvation, the latter more dangerous as the safeguards against tissue wasting will not be there to protect your gains. Anon is simply tragically misled into believing the cult.

How can I get 275g of carbs a day on a 2500 calorie deficit? Trying to get down to 195lb. I'm already at my caloric limit for the day and I only have 160g of carbs while my protein limit is reached and I'm slightly over my fat limit (supposed to be 80g/day I'm at 115g for today)
>>70327561Why would you do that? I'm worried about you, anon.
>>70327561A 2500 calorie deficit means nothing in this context. How many calories you can actually consume would help answer that question... but if you're looking for 115g of carbs with your caloric limit already hit and protein/fat already reached then the answer is you can't. Even something that's pure carbs and nothing else would be 460 calories.If we're saying your macros are 80g fat, 275g carbs, 195g protein (vague assumption), that's already 1960 calories, so how the FUCK would you be at a 2500 calorie deficit?
>>70327617>he doesn't maintain on 4460 calories
Still 100g of protein away from my goal of 180g a day. This will be my plan for the next week, with dinners being varied.Any tips on how I can reach the magic number without snorting a bunch of whey powder?
>>70327574>>70327617Sorry I mean't 2500 daily.

>>70327627Forgot to note, halving or completely dropping the olive oil is a option here. Just not sure what to add.
>>70327649>94g of proteinWay too little, I lift and do BJJ 5-6x a week. I also only weigh 205 right now.
>>70327635I have to ask, why do you think you need 275g of carbs exactly?anyway at 2500 calories it shouldn't really be hard then, what's your protein target? that's the only thing I could see, you'd have to be at over ~210g of protein on the day already>>70327649gotta pump those protein numbers up
>>70327699I'm just following an app and right now it's telling me I'm at 160g of carbs and only 130g of protein at 2400 calories.
>>70327666Too little for who? My lifts are still increasing. My weight is dropping. I'm 247lbs and I'll be 220 in 3 months. You'll do the same in about a year. Time to decide if your goal is to lose weight or try to maintain muscle on a cut. I've decided I want to lose my belly. I can do body recomp later when I'm not so fat.
>>70327707You can adjust your app to what you want it to be. The ones I posted are my custom ones for my fitness pal. Lose it has similar options.
>>70327725Yes this is what I want it to be my question how do I fix my diet I'm obvious eating wrong.
>>70327731You don't even know what goal you want to follow so how can you achieve it? Are we losing weight? Are we eating more nutrious? Are we preventing muscle loss? You can't do it all at once. If you are here to lose weight then you do the low calorie diet.

If low and I have the calories I'll add the protein shake. It is not the goal. The goal is 1500 calories. That is what makes me lose weight.

>>70327833seeing only the immediate/short term results and not thinking in the long term is why you got fat in the first place. you will care about protein in a year after you've reached your goal and you'll hit yourself then for not caring earlier.there's more to weight loss than just a number on the scale.

Being more social is something im starting to work on now im losing weight so its something I need to compromise on sometimes. I also make that my only meal for the day, apart from a protein shake maybe mid morning to get me through.
>>70328049for me, it's coffee and video games
>>70328012500 cal deficit a day is not a crash diet. In fact it's the slow and steady wins the race sort of deal, in that u will lose 1lb a week safely retard
>>70325277What changes did you make to diet/routine? Looking good man, keep going. Always good motivation to see other /fat/izens making progress.
>>70327959>>70328012I am very confused. Are you here to lose weight? I've been on a 1500 calorie diet for over a month. For me that is currently a 1150 calorie deficit every day. I've lost 13 pounds so far. This is not a crash diet. It is how you lose weight in a reasonable time frame. In 3 months I'll be down to 220 pounds. Then it will take another 7 months to hit my ideal weight without lowering my calories again. I have no doubt that the few of you that read the sticky are trying for 200g of protein a day. And that's great if your goal is minimizing muscle loss during a cut. That is not my goal. My goal is weight loss. So 100g of protein or much less is acceptable to me. If it is not to you then accept your 2000 calories a day and that you are looking at a 2-3 year journey. I'll be done in less than a year and be doing bulk cut cycles as you are still trying to minimize muscle loss during a cut, which the sticky says is very hard to do.
>>70325380>we will soon find adequate matesThats the dream, I hope that ship hasnt sailed though. I want a family of my own, but also not as young as I once was. Tick tock, thats the sound of my life running out.
>>70325830>sub 300Your gunna make it bro. That was my first goal in all of this too. Felt good
>>70326320Thats pretty fast weight loss. Exercising 3 times a week is fine, but yer, your going to need a few more calories to sustain that. I enjoy working on my cardio plus losing weight so Im happy to eat a little more so I can.
>>70328135New weigh in of 246.6, so I'm down another pound and 14 pounds total loss so far.
>>70326649I think my guts are fucked. High fibre cereals seem to block me up more. Maybe I should go have some tests done.
>>70326836I lift at the moment mainly just to burn more cals and keep what muscle I have. Usually lighter weight, higher reps. Still feels good but losing weight is really my top priority at the moment.
>>70328237Anorexics have constant constipation. Are you one of those?
>still struggling>less than 2 weeks left to meet my monthly goal>im gonna fail againngmi
Ate three bowls of granola, day ruined. Time to fast tomorrow
>>70328134CICO and touching grass. Literally just holding myself accountable and setting a daily step goal. picrel is my daily tracking. I was doing a pretty absurd 1500 deficit at the start, but that's softened to 1200-1000. Goal is 180 before a big family event later this year.
>>70328370you will make it my friend!! defeatist mindset is poison to your goals. setbacks happen. keep moving forward and you will never lose
>>70328473You gotta break the binge and purge cycle.
I keep fucking myself over with doordash and ubereats orders and drinking alcohol on the weekends.
>>70328260not this, but maybe because im eating like one, great.
>>70328237i managed to shit out an average sized log, either there's a lot more in me or i'm eating less than what i'm tracking (doubt it)
>>70324175that already is my normal diet though

>>70329093>>70329093i made chicken yesterday but something went wrong with it and i had to throw it away and didn't have anything else to eat, since it was too late to go to the store for more chicken i decided to just not eat, this morning i went to 7/11 on my lunch break and got like, 2000 calories worth of junk and ate it all, so now i decided that im done eating for the day, but i'm worried that I'm going to bloat up or something for my fatty contest weigh in and that i've ruined everything and will be higher than last week even though i was on the cusp of being loweri can't shake the feeling that im really hungry and that i'll talk myself into eating something else today so im sitting in bed watching my show and talking to my stuffed animal>>70329151alright you caught me
>>70329212don't sweat it bro. we all have moments of weakness. but NEVER say you're going to fail because that will prevent you from trying your best and it'll justify giving up when the going gets tough. you have to believe in yourself!
