The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

Sucks man, I've been there before. Get better soon. I really had to watch what I ate when I got hurt, so I didn't lose too much progress.

 

So I decided today to start counting macros and hopefully I can keep doing it at the end of the week. I'm out of town for work, so I can choose what I want to eat. That being said, I downloaded my fitness pal, and was wondering where I should be on carbs roughly. Its telling me I should be at 3050 cals for the whole day, but so far I'm at 946 total cals 114 carbs, 35 protons, 21 fats. I want to start shredding essentially. So I know I have to increase protons to around 220, which I currently weigh, but I'm still a little confused on where essentially I should be on my numbers.

Any recommendations? Also, any tips/tricks to using the myfitnesspal? I like it so far, especially the barcode scanner. Kinda vague on the search function for foods, but it does provide quite a bit of options. I like it so far.

 

Body weight protons, 100 fat, the rest carbs

That would be around 370carbs but 3000cal seems pretty low...

 

Go to tdeecalculator.com and get your base calories off there. Mfp is rubbish

 

It's all rubbish...

Just train your tastebuds to recognize protons, carbos, or fats

 

Or you could train your digestive track to only accept what fits your macros, selectively absorb those and excrete the rest.

 

All of this is bullshit. All I do is talk to body part I'm working on, and tell it to get bigger, more defined, or smaller. Sheesh.

 

Today I learned no chipotle on gym days. Lifting was fine. Went to try and run after to flush my legs. Got about 5 mins in and had the worst stomach cramps.

 

At least you learned something

 

I kinda figured it was gonna be bad. But I was already ordering when I remembered I was going to be working out in 3 hours after eating it. Done fucked up. Gonna try and go for a run later tonight otherwise tomorrow is gonna be not fun

 

You on that CT Fletcher shit.

I COMMAND YOU TO GROW!

 

Got my order in from MyProtein. Went with the Mocha flavor off someones recommendation. That stuff is damn good. Took almost a week to get it delivered, so I'll probably end up ordering a bigger bag sometime next week.

 

What's the difference between 3:1:2 and 2:1:1 BCAAs?

 

You didn't learn, you'll forget and do again next week, I do the same thing

 

Haha no I won't forget. I'll eat after gym but not before. Never again. Until next month. Lol

 

I eat an hour before currently

 

I usually do to more or less. But it's a light meal. Not a chipotle haha.

 

Mine recently has been 8oz steak, and 6oz sweet potatoes. This weeks is 8oz ground bison, and 6 oz red potatoes

 

Leucine:isoleucine:valine

Get a 2:1:1 it's (from my research) the most cost effective and best mixture

 

What cut for the steak?
