>Who is /fat/ for?
For frequent fry feeders 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), LoseIt (great for both), or Waistline (FOSS).

>Now what?
Count calories, all of them.
Eat about 500-1000 less calories than your TDEE.

You caught me in a good mood so I'll give you a real answer. It's the forearms. You almost always have the opportunity to have forearms visible. A year ago, I was wearing pants, a loose button up and a wool sweater. I pull up the sleeves. My arms are vascular. Someone asked me if I work out. I asked what gave me away. He told me my forearms were jacked.

I had seven dollars off on a giant vanilla ice cream whey from ON at publix. came out to 21 dollars and I drank it with milk and it tasted like a milkshake
>>
>>77472279
not even convenience, just feeling like shit from having to eat so much. I cook basically every meal, and even with meal prepping, it's a lot of just volume of chicken, eggs, steak, it gets exhausting at times. sometimes I just would rather not eat, but I need protein for growth and recovery, so oh just a few scoops of powder with some whole milk and i'm done. no cleanup either, just rinse/wash my shaker and that's it. I chug as well so that's what 2 minutes versus all the time it takes to prep meat and then cook it and then storage and all the volume eating it. yes protein powder doesnt give the same satiety as eating a bunch of food but I just dont care if I feel hungry.

I won't pretend choccy-flavored whey milkshakes are the only way to hit targets and cheaper options aren't available, but fitness being completely gatekept financially would be fantastic news. With stuff like this it probably is anyway because most people aren't capable of the tiny amount of planning they would have to do to make a cheaper meal plan. If someone wants to improve then poorness should be addressed well before any serious fitness.

Is it really that hard to be 12% bodyfat? dont you just eat less and exercise more?
4 replies omitted. Click here to view.

>>77472718
no because you need a certain amount of muscle, this is why many endurance fags are about 120 and 18% body fat

You ask that as if that many people care about being <12% BF / are actively pursuing that goal.

Once you’re older, staying below 15% requires pretty much constant dedication. Nevermind staying below 12%. The only people who stay below 12% are natural freaks and professionals.

is it cringe to prioritize work-life balance so i can work out more? i work a hybrid 9-5 office job and i have time for my wife, dog, gym and hobbies.

i recently turned down a job that would've paid me $200k+, way more than what i make now, but they expected 70+ hour work weeks and regular travel. my bank account would love it but i'm pretty sure my health and every other aspect of my life would take a nosedive. I have friends who did investment banking out of college almost all of them are fat and have health problems now because they were constantly working and abusing cocaine, i never wanted to end up like that.

acquire skills, dont just show up
ask for more responsibility and look to see who is the best person in the room to learn from
The most important thing is your reputation - protect it at all costs.
Dont fail to deliver anything you said you will (i'll do this by EOD, means you BETTER do it), dont promise anything you can't deliver
be likable, dont be defensive on your mistakes, own them immediately and analyze how you could have done better
if someone calls you out on a mistake, you can still maintain reputation by saying "you know you're right, i'll fix that".

Its most important to be known as a hard, effective, and capable worker. The best way to do this is by actually being good at your job, but its not necessary. Some people sidestep this by chatting up and being likeable and taking jobs that arent hard. The best way is to actually be a hard worker and also be social, but its more important to be known as a good worker than to actually be a good worker. You can't work hard in silence without your bosses knowing what is going on, its strangling on your career.

The best sentence you can type to your boss is "hey, i took care of X. there was Y problem but I solved it with Z. I sent it across and CC'ed you. No action items required - just keeping you in the loop. text me if you have any questions. Now im working on A, then B, then C - all appear on track to meet deadlines"

This shit hurts. I can barely drive home because my callused all hurt, and my thumb skin is nearly all scarred and ripping off due to hook gripping for the past 2-3 years. Is the anti gloves agenda a psyop?

>Is the anti gloves agenda a psyop?
They just want you to rip up your hands because they were fooled into ripping up their hands. Use gloves, you'll be thankful you did later in life, as the cushioning they provide will keep you from getting arthritis early.
>>
Why should I care what another man does with his hands? Sounds like low IQ behavior
>>
>>77473381
Because you don't moisturise. Use moisturiser and eventually even your callus will disappear. Your skin will just be tougher somehow.

The irony is I only learnt this when I switched to a blue collar job and was getting wrecked by the sun. I use heavy tools too, but have nice soft hands. I didn't moisturise when I was white collar and had thick calluses that peeled and bled all the time.

Getting and staying sober is /fit/ right? I’ve been trolling this AA meeting IRL by countering the groupthink shit the old heads talk about and agree amongst each other every single day. I’ve been sober 5 years and I’m sure these oldfags think I’m going to relapse any day now. I go about twice a month to do this.

>hurr durr I micromanaged all my coworkers and children while wasted and drinking on the job and now I turn it over to God and don’t try to run the whole show

Never been to a meeting. I can see why it'd be helpful to openly discuss the problem and motivations behind drinking from all sorts of people. I bet even the simplistic "I drink when I'm bored" rationale has deeper meaning behind it.

>>77470949
The higher power stuff that comes from cuck religions is gay, but in order to stay sober you do need to have a higher purpose. The reason we drink is because it feels good and there is no good reason not to drink. The way you stay away is by committing yourself to something more important. You have to have goals in life that amount to more than getting drunk and feeling good.
