So my dad is extremely thick headed. He doesn't want to train back or shoulder bc he doesn't want to get bulky because he's 5 9". I'm trying to tell him that he's not going to gain muscle, to look bulky, if he's eating below his maintenance calories (which he is). Can anyone link me with...

So I think I'm going to switch over to a traditional low fat diet. Taking away 200 calories each week (only if I am losing under 2 lbs/week). If my TDEE is around 2800. What should my starting amount of calories be for week 1? I'm going to eat clean for 4 weeks and introduce carb ups every 9...

22 211 currently 5 10 bf% probably around 17-20%

haha awesome. Thank you so much

Quick update and a question: I've been on point with my diet. Sunday I had a little carb up (few pieces of the bread that bruschetta is usually served on with calm juice and clams). Tested for ketosis the next morning with the Ketostix and was still in ketosis. So hopefully that's a good sign...

Awesome, thanks for the replies, and that makes me feel better about the strips. Three days in the color was dark, now I'm in between the second and 3rd shades and I thought I was moving backwards. Makes sense though. Thanks for the input.

It's on the food list because I was originally eating that the first day. But i took it out of the meals if you look at the meals. Thanks for the advice, I try not to go by the 1 g/ lb because I end up having too many calories from protein while trying to cut. I measured it about .6 g/lb. I take...

Hey all, just looking to see how this plan looks. I've been on it for a week and I know people don't like ketostix, but it's a nice boost in confidence when it turns a shade of purple (which mine have). Not really looking for advice, more of an affirmative if my sources of fats are okay. Carbs...

Did you end up getting it? Did Walmart or Walgreen's have it? I've been on their pharmacy section of their site and can't find it. Please let me know thanks.

When would I add in Clen and would my diet stay the same on that? I plan to use the clen to help retain as much muscle as I can while in deficit.

Okay sorry if I sound like an idiot, but start at 3200. Drop cals when I can't lose weight anymore? and don't go below 2400 cals?

So If I follow those macros starting from 3200 work down to 2400. When will I know if I plateud? When I can't lose weight at 2400 cal? I've never did a full-blown strict cut before so I'm not sure what to anticipate.

Yeah I know... BMR = 1950 TDEE 2850.

No i don't know then but the meal plan was for 200 lbers so it's probably close to accurate with the calories.

I am about to start cutting come February. I am currently 5 10ish 205 14-15% (got a little chunky this offseason). If i flex abdominals you can see a little though so not too fat. I have an 8 week diet (but if I lose 2 lbs in a certain week I stay on that weeks macros). The diet is from Chris...
