Eat your tuna edition.

>Who is /fat/ for?
For Carb chasers who are working towards a longer life and a better physique through meaningful hard-work, strategy, and dedication. This is not QTDDTOT, stick to questions on fat loss. Post height and weight when asking for advice.
Join our Fatty Contest: https://www.fattycontest.com/

>What do I do first?
1. Read https://physiqonomics.com/fat-loss/
2. Calculate your Body Fat Percentage: https://fitness.bizcalcs.com/Calculator.asp?Calc=Body-Fat-Navy
3. Calculate your TDEE: https://www.sailrabbit.com/bmr/
Remember to use bodyfat% and use Katch-McArdle Formula with sedentary settings or your TDEE will be too high.
4. Plan your weight loss: https://www.losertown.org/eats/cal.php
5. Track your nutrition with MyFitnessPal (better for packaged food), Cronometer (better for generic food/macros) or LoseIt (great for both).

>Now what?
Count calories, all of them.
Eat about 500-1000 less calories than your TDEE.
Buy scales, be accurate.
Learn to cook. Try to stick to lean protein and green vegetables.
Eat a lot of protein. 0.72g per pound of goal lean body mass.
Doing cardio, even just walking, will improve your health. There is no such thing as a healthy fat heart, but you can offset the risks.
Lifting weights will keep and gain muscle mass and burn fat much quicker. No lifting results in the body burning away muscle AND fat.
Drink more water.
Read the /fit/ sticky: https://liamrosen.com/fitness.html

>DON'T
Eat refined sugars, they're terrible for you regardless of calories.
Eat processed foods.
Drink your calories (alcohol, soda, Starbucks).
Freak out over a weight loss stall. Plateaus can last up to three weeks.
"Reward" yourself. Cheat days cheat only yourself.

I’m male, almost 6’2 and woke up this morning 163 lbs. yet I still have all of my fat in my butt and legs. Will it ever go away or do I just get lipo? Top half is lean and can see veins and muscles. Bottom half is just gay and I hate it so much

I'm already on a 1600 cal deficit and i do cardio after each workout + started doing cardio on my rest days. I told you, my diet is on check. I don't understand why i stalled my progress.
>>
Bros, I was on OMAD for like a month or so, only eating a single 5-layer beef burrto from Taco Bell and nothing else for an entire month, and I went down to 185 lbs.

Then some literal schizo told me that was extremely unhealthy and that I should eat more I got scared and listened to their advice.

Now I'm back to 220.

I just want to become the skinny twink again For the record I'm 5'6"

What do I do?
>>
Estimate and add 20% to your guesses?

Any chain would have things easy to estimate like a Ceasar salad with grilled chicken. Or a burger with a side salad
>>
>>74567119
If you were actually on a 1600 cal deficit you wouldn't be on a plateau for 8 weeks. You're eating more than you are counting
>>
>>74567140
That really sucks to hear when i know for a fact i've lost 28lbs steadily over months and stalled without changing anything about my lifestyle. My doctor told me last week i can't go below 1600 lol but sure, thanks for the input buddy
>>
>>74566944
It took me a moment to think about why that would be terrible advice.
I just immediately assumed they meant low carb waffles, like https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/product/birch-benders-keto-toaster-waffles-6-count-508-oz-b07r7xhv5g
Same thing with the wrap at the moment. Grab a low-carb wrap from la tortilla factory or something.
The only problematic items left are the brown rice, and to a lesser extent the beans, but that can be mitigated by playing with the quantities I suppose.

>>
>>74567119

Another possibility is that your BMR is no longer what you think it is. Weight loss will also lower your BMR, so maybe you've just about reached your maintenance rate.
Regardless, in both cases the fix is to aim lower.
>>
>>74567174
I’m 1001% sure. I was 230lbs when I started, and on a cut and lifting weight I made the number on the scale go down, but I still look like a kaRdashion

>>74567125
Very little in this world is more unhealthy than being fat. If STBBAD (single taco bell burrito a day) helped, then just go back to that and don't worry about what anyone else says. You should try to slowly wean yourself off the taco bell though. Cook a small portion of ground beef and beans yourself, season it a lot (I highly recommend the goya "sazon" seasoning packets), and eat that now and then. Try to increase how often you eat homemade instead of taco bell, especially as you manage to make it tastier.
Even if that doesn't work, being skinny on taco bell is better than being fat on anything else.

To be honest you are being kind of a bitch here. The refusing of cake I can understand unless you made a big stink about it, but you knew you were going out and this was to be someone else’s day and you were kind of ruining it. Should have done OMAD and ordered a salad with or something

Well it finally happened, someone in my loose associate circle is mad because I have lost over 35 lbs and they're insisting I'm "unhealthy" and a dick for declining eating out.. Honestly I just didn't fucking want to, it had nothing to do with fitness.

I've heard to expect this and more but damn.

Nah I’d say it’s 100% on anon. They knew that they were going to a restaurant so they should have been prepared if they wanted to stick to their diet. There definitely was no reason to not order anything and be the single autist with nothing in front of them while everyone else eats. They definitely had options and were being a little bitch

>The Academy's founders were a visionary group of women — led by Lenna F. Cooper and the organization's first president, Lulu C. Graves

https://www.vndpg.org/about/academy-co-founder-lenna-frances-cooper-a-pioneer-in-vegetarian-nutrition-and-dietetics

>To give structure and professionalism to the field of dietetics, she was the first to propose the formation of the American Dietetic Association (now known as the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics), which she co-founded in 1917. She became the Academy’s first vice president and later served as the fourteenth president in 1937.

>In 1901, Lenna graduated in nursing from the Battle Creek Sanitarium (a Seventh-day Adventist health institution) in Battle Creek, Michigan. It was there that she became a protégé of the famed vegetarian physician, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, superintendent, and medical director of the sanitarium.

Literally founded by seventh day adventists, the institution that made the field of nutrition and dietetics. No surprise, considering her close ties with the father of hospitals, Dr. Kellogg (why men are circumcised in the US and why we eat breakfast cereal)
Both proud "vegetarians", which was the word for it before they came up with the name vegan

You cannot eat calories, and the second sentence doesn't make sense even if you thought you could. Also, in practice, calories in vs. out is wildly innacurate and doesn't predict weight gain or loss accurately.
>>
>>74567291
I don't get the mentality at all
I've not ordered food with friends before, they've not ordered food, there's nothing weird about it, you're there to socialize
If it's the other person I offer some of my food or to order them something in case it's a money thing, but if they say no I'm not assblasted
Someone else's choices that have nothing to do with you should not affect you like that
>>
>>74567337
It’s weird and awkward. Never have I, nor have I went out to eat with someone that has, not ordered when at a restaurant with others. I’m more than willing to bet that anon made a whole big deal about it considering they went as far as calling for a manager. More than likely they are leaving out details to make them look like less of a fag than they admit to be

Hey /fit/ first time posting here. Let me get straight to the point.
>5'7
>160-178ish, I lost my scale, but I know I'm borderline overweight
>skinnyfat
>want to get slim, lose skinnyfat
>want to get twinkish physique
>want a nice butt
What do? I eat fast food quite often, but have been cutting down on some of the heavier stuff(I used to eat whole pizzas, but I stopped because I realized how absurd the calories were, or really anything big from any place with heavy calories)
I'm also quite shy to go to gym, so most of my workouts consist of daily 1 hour walks, and occasionally doing squats, but I feel like it's not enough for my goal.
Help me out here, tell me what I need to do, and possible alternatives to gym(or you can just say to suck it up)

Read the first post.
Figure out your approximate weight, and your TDEE. Then log everything you eat in an app like MyFitnessPal or Cronometer. Keep your daily calories 500 below your TDEE (the app can help you with all of that, at least Cronometer can, just guess your weight).
>>
>>74567404
Oh, and to get a nice butt you need to either take female hormones or stay doing glute exercises. Weights are a good idea for it, so gym is a good idea if you can afford it.

The trick is to order food that can still fit within your calorie budget.
For example, I can fit some of Jimmy Johns' "unwhich" abominations in my macros. Sashimi sets from the local sushi joint works too (it's almost 100% protein, hard to beat.)
If you have a craving for more "normal" foods, it gets hard fast, but it can still be done. For example, you can get a plausible Burrito Bowl at Chipotle like picrel. The macros may look kinda high, but you can trust the restaurant managers to have instructed the workers to skimp on many of the items, so you'll probably end up in a better calorie deficit than you thought.
>>
>>74567376
>>74567337
>>74567291
>>74567289
If this happens to you then you should order something safe like boiled potatoes or steamed rice. You can eat like a full pound of those and it won't blow your calorie budget.

I had two beers tonight at dinner after 22 days sober, now my wife is making me write a Facebook status apology for being a liar about quitting drinking to lose weight
>>
>>74567125
First, >>74567211 is right.
Second, get supplements. With any kind of fasting or restrictive diet, it's easy to start lacking in various micronutrients, and I think it's probably the steelman argument of your neighborhood schizo's "unhealthy" claim.
So get that omega-3/fish oil supplement going. Also get a good vitamin D one. And a full spectrum multivitamin, preferably one that makes a mockery of various recommended DV%.
Third, if you live in a country where healthcare is affordable and/or an option, get a doctor to run blood tests on you every 3 months so you can make sure your diet is agreeing with various bodily functions.
Fourth, being a skinny twink has a fairly short expiration date, after which you're just a skinny middle-aged man, and you'll want to quickly graduate to "hot dude." This is where strength training comes in.

>>74568230
No, that's a solid snack, and much healthier than a donut.
Not all fats are equal. Your peanut butter's fat is mostly unsaturated fat, and the pectin in your apple will help to neutralize some of its saturated fat anyway.
Don't change a thing, especially if you enjoy it.
>>
peanut butter is not the devil, it's not empty calories, peanut butter without any additives (lots of brands are pure sugar and other slop, look at the ingredients list, the less ingredients the better, this is general advice you should be looking at the ingredients for literally all foods) is good food and you can lose weight eating it, there's two problems, portion size and snack/binge risk
most fatties used to eat PB before their diet but just ate giant spoonfuls, when I say you can still eat it I mean literally like one teaspoon or a couple, each is around 30 calories.
it's risky to keep this on your kitchen, I used to grab a teaspoon here and there even when I wasn't hungry at all "because it's natural dude" yeah I was a fucking moron fatass. it also has a high binge potential imo, those days when you just feel anxious and there's nothing but meat and veggies in your house and you really want to eat something nice... there's the jar waiting for you, easy to pick up and take to the living room.

tl;dr PB can be done if you have self control, if not don't put yourself to the test

it feels weird because the scale isn't moving but I'm visibly getting thinner (and my pants agree). Is this "recomp"?
thinking of using a different way to measure progress than the scale at this point, I'm no longer fat (78 kg, starting was 104kg). Everything else is going in the right direction. My lifts are getting bigger, my 5ks are getting faster. However, I didn't expect the scale to stall completely. Especially since I'm at least 6-7kg away from 12% bf and don't look lean yet.
Thoughts? Should I keep going this way or am I wasting time? Should I cut harder or just accept that at this weight, this is the pace?
>>
>>74568768
keep using the scale and keep doing what you're doing for a few more weeks, it's literally working
after 12 weeks of no changes in weight start cutting again if you want
>I'm at least 6-7kg away from 12% bf and don't look lean yet
this doesn't make any sense with what you're saying, you're using tighter belt holes, you are losing fat. the biggest changes in appearance happen at this level, start taking pictures of your body every week to see the progress if the belt thing doesn't convince you. measure your waist using a tape as well

No anon wanted to be able to put an exact number on the amount of calories because that was more important to him than the people around him having a good time, most likely because he is retarded and already ate that day on top of being unable to make an educated guess on how many calories might a dish be or request modifications to a dish to be more healthy.

If your goal is to lose weight then no, you shouldn't.

Just beware that the first few kgs will come off quickly, but this is not the real rate of fat loss you will have throughout your diet. Don't get discouraged once the weight loss slows down and keep it up. Make sure whatever diet you do is something you believe you can do indefinitely, and don't stop doing whatever diet you attempt before you have given yourself the chance to adapt to it.

What is this? Metabolism or digestion? Should I care that I only poop every other day now? Also, previously I would know I had to shit. I had to drop everything and hit the toilet. Now I don’t feel that way at all and have to remind myself to go sit on the toilet and try or I’ll go 3-4 days before I “have” to shit/feel like I have to, what’s that about? I would say the amount I shit when I do is roughly the same it’s just not as often. I understand this is my body fixing but I want to understand what’s going on exactly

I crashed and fell asleep after eating my lunch today despite having very strong coffee, I had only woken up about 4 hours earlier.

I've been eating approximately 1200 calories per day, 160ml of rice ( that's before cooking it) and two cans of beans or veggies, for about 2 weeks now.

I *did* have blood taken this morning so maybe that was the reason.

Should I worry or think about changing anything? It's been going so well, I'm never hungry and lost 5kg already.

I used to take One A Day Men's multivitamin, which is sensibly equivalent to Centrum's version, but an anon recommended I try Natures Plus Source of Life instead. A look at the ingredients (see picrel) reveals two things:
1. It has many more micronutrients. Do I need all of those? I don't know. Maybe?
2. It laughs in the face of recommended daily values. Am I at risk of overdosing? Probably not, but my urine has almost certainly become the most nutritious liquid in my entire household.
One downside is that you're expected to take three fairly large green pills every day, but I already take other horse pills, like my omega-3, so it's not a huge disruption for me.
Anyway, here's my current supplement list:
- multivitamin: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00014D80Y
- omega-3: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FM9KNSI
- vitamin-D: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0032BH76O
- lion's mane: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078SZX3ML

That last mushroom stuff is just something I'm taking because I give it to my wife, as part of my insulin-less approach to handling her diabetes, and I wanted to make sure it didn't do anything weird first. I honestly can't tell if it does anything for me.

>>74570863

Alright thanks, I'll assume it's the blood test for now and see if it happens again.

I'm not giving up coffee though, I've given up everything else I love but I need my two mugs a day.

>>74570874
You should take an extra magnesium supplement of up to 200 mg on top of the multivitamin.

The extra vitamin D supplement might be a bit too much to take in the long term (over years). You should either take some extra K2 with that or get like a 2000 IU version of D3 instead.

Retinol is better as a source of vitamin A than beta carotene, but it has enough beta carotene that it shouldn't matter.

It's one of the best multivitamins I've seen, but I'm not sure I like that there's such a large excess of some vitamins. Nutrition isn't a figured out science, so there might be stuff we don't know. None of it should be a negative in the course of a year though.

Hey guys just wanted to say, that if you have very little muscle mass ot may be impossible to cut into abs. If youre of average height with a belly and are under 155lb, it may be time to bulk instead of continuing to cut. You actually need a bit of muscle mass to get even that flat pretty boy look. Just something to keep in mind if you've already lost a lot of weight.

>>74570999

Try to get a decent mix of people to listen to that focus on fun like Eric Bugenhagen and more educational stuff life Renessaince Periodization.

Its fine. Just understand it may be hard to ascertain if you've hit 12% and that it may not look great. I say this having seen anorexic as hell looking people on fit saying theyre fat because they have loose skin. Personally I can say I felt very uncomfortable seeing fat come back on during the bulk at first as well, so expect that. Just trying to give my perspective as someone whos like a year ahead of you probably.

1 pound of fat equals 3500 calories, a 500 cal deficit is designed for exactly 1 pound a week, there's nothing wrong

Yeah for the most part I'll be going by my scale. I'm at "14.9%" but I'm going to check with my gym's InBody machine for a second opinion
I've lifted for long periods in the past but always followed up with long periods of not going to the gym at all so I'm really clueless as to how much muscle mass I've actually retained. The only muscles I have confidence in are my legs where my 1 rep max was about 3pl8
At the moment if the right lighting it looks like I have the faintest outline of abs, but I wonder how it will look once I actually get to 12%

I am currently sitting at 79kg (174lbs) at 176cm (5.7ft). Been losing weight with a calorie deficit for like 4-5months now (down 10kg/22lbs), maintaining high protein intake along with 4day strength split.
A question to more experienced /fit/friends: should I still lose like 3-5kg more? I was thinking about switching to calorie maintenance for my current weight and just trying to get more muscular definition. What's the best course of action? I don't mind cutting more, being strict made me a better male and, to be honest, the journey so fay was surprisingly easy.

> take an extra magnesium supplement of up to 200 mg on top of the multivitamin.
That's right, I forgot to mention I did buy a ZMA (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GIQS02) before switching to this multivitamin. The overlap in Zinc and B6 drove me to stop taking the full dose of 3 capsules/day, but I still take one capsule at night, so that's ~145mg of Magnesium on top of the 100mg in the multivitamin.
> You should either take some extra K2 with that or get like a 2000 IU version of D3 instead.
Maybe yes. Once I started taking the 5000IU D3, I realized that I had been low-key depressed for while. Mood, motivation, etc., all increased noticeably over just a few weeks, so I suspect I had a long-running deficiency.
I wonder if I could bug my doctor to test my levels, so I won't have to guess.
> Retinol
Hey I recognize that one, that's the stuff I slap on my face every night to try to pretend I'm not as old as I am.

You sound like the exact kind of person who would be more capable of bulking into abs. My abs show past 20% with big love handles lol. If you train them 2x-3x a week for 10-20 sets per week total with progressive overload theyll grow. Dont get hyperfixated on the specific % metric which will probably be calculated inaccurately anyway. If anything, lose 5 pounds which should be equal to that 3% BF loss you want and go bulk up. Youre stronger than me already. Max I got was 3 plate in deadlift, let alone squat. Ill probably be going back to more compound lifts after this training block though. Im more of an isolation split brah right now

Retard. The amount of literal monkey-with-typewriter tier advice in here is off the charts. If you started OMAD you should have already known fasting is inherently far healthier than eating multiple meals a day.

Fine I'll try this
>>74570368
This thought has crossed my mind more than a few times.
One of the people who told me this cut down from 100+kg to like 80 i think, couple of years ago. He's a colleague and we go get evening snacks (i just have tea + biscuit) and there it becomes evident how he became 100+ kg
Anyway it's none of their faults, i actually look very skinny because I wasn't morbidly obese in the first place. I just have zero muscle, and losing the only kind of weight i have (fat) makes me look skinny. Besides most of my fat deposits were on my ass and thighs, so I looked like a skelly with big legs to begin with.

I would have taken the chicken home if I were you

I am roughly 250lb and am in the early stages of doing stronglifts 5x5 while eating at a deficit. Losses have been solid so far.

I feel like I should be adding some core work onto the stronglifts (abs and back) but I don't think I have a lot of options in my apartment gym.

Gym has a squat rack, but no back extension type machine so I'm not sure how I can work in some extra core work. Any ideas?

Equipment list:
Squat rack
Dumbells
Flat/incline benches
One of those machines with cables and various rope/handle attachments
Machines for press, leg press, leg extensions, etc

Just to then usually not take care of the damn thing, have it become an outside animal which escapes to get back to its actual home and hit by a car and die, at least for cats and dogs. If it was a chicken it would just become food and they’d claim to think it was wild even if found on someone’s fenced in property with a coop.

My parents were walking the dog (mutton nigger retard with small jaw and an ever reducing number of teeth) unleashed and the dog picked up a random duck that was waddling around, and ran away
The owner came out and said she'd "murder" the dog, but because my dog has no teeth the duck was left alive to see another day and so was the dog.
(I swear this is true and not a parody of the nuns or whatever. Some people around these parts eat ducks and that's why they were raising them.)

The excessive ones like the various B-vitamins and vitamin C aren't a big deal. You should be pissing the excess out.

Only one I would worry about is vitamin E, because it's often in Omega-3 fish oil capsules as well. But the multivitamin itself is still well below the line where studies have shown negative effects (400 IU).

Honestly you can just start with the diet. Read the OP, count your calories, and eat 400g of boiled vegetables at least a day
If you really want to start working out right off the bat, it sounds like you're a beginner so check out the /fit/ sticky and just hop on Starting Strength (just ignore the part about eating like a pig). That program will teach you the most basic lifts and get you going

I'm a weakling overall, but I've somehow been blessed with wrists able to accommodate 4 decades of fucking around in front of a computer non-stop without getting strained.
I've seen many coworkers deal with this tho.
The ways they dealt with it was primarily to embrace ergonomics.
They all had weird little fucked up keyboards that forced their hands into odd positions that apparently were good for their condition.
Mice were often swapped for hyper-ergonomic trackballs. Standing desks were common, usually with a little motor so they could use them as sitting desks during moments of weakness.
And of course they all had an office chair that didn't suck and was carefully adjusted by some ergonomics corporate freak that'd show up just to set up their work station properly.
Alas, none of that will help you work out, but if done right, it should help not make things worse while you browse the interwebs, so you don't keep delaying your body's natural healing.
Also, take whatever supplements help with healing this stuff. Don't ask me which, idk.

I did do a 6 day water fast to just reset my system, before switching to the keto diet, and I was like 268ish pounds when I started that. Am I not continuing to lose because my body is replenishing water weight I would have lost during the fast or something? I've done similar things before, and I don't remember it taking so long to start losing again. Unless nutritional labels are just straight up lying, there is no way I am overeating, I could / measure everything and usually assume 50-100 extra calories just to be safe.

I've gained 5 lbs over the past 2 years and I consistently fail to make improvements.

Its not even like I'm eating the wrong things, just an excess because of work stress and being a new dad stress.

I should do it.

Former fatty who still occasionally lurks to insult ketoschizo and drool over the bulimic here
Depending on how heavy you are, consider the elliptical in the gym to not fuck up your knees. Running really is something I'd only do at normal weight. I started at BMI 24ish, but noticed that every further kg lost made a massive difference to how I felt the next day


Couch to 5k is meant for 60 year old couch potatoes, if you're in an acceptable weight range and younger, you can probably speed up the program a lot. I went from being unable to run 1km to doing sub 30 min 5ks in 5 weeks.

You don't need expensive running shoes. As a noob, they won't make a difference. Get running shoes but don't overspend

Since I started going to the gym I have a strong feeling of regret that I didn't go sooner. My social anxiety held me back. Nobody has said shit to me so far.

You get used to being shat on for being fat so much, but when you actually go to the gym, it's like everyone is encouraging to you.

I don't know the Canadian (or any American) prices but in the 40 € range you can find pretty good no-brand running shoes in Europe at least. So they're probably fine. It takes a very long time and a lot of running to actually profit from higher end running shoes.
As for your BMI, when I was at that weight, I picked less impact cardio, such as the elliptical (which looks gay as a man, but who cares?) or indoor cycling. You could try to run, but if your knees or something hurt, stop and wait until you're lighter.
>>

The question with sauce is how much. Some sauces get well into the 400 kcal / 100 g territory and one quickly realized while counting calories, that 10g of sauce is not a lot. Losing weight has made me appreciate mustard. Spicy mustards start at around 90 kcal / 100 g. Ajvar (110 kcal/100 g) is also great with chicken, and with broccoli
