i'm back here after about 2 years of slipping backwards. tell me what recipes are in your rotation. i'll start: using a crock pot throw in tomatoes, corn, white beans, red beans, and chicken breast. cook on low for 10 hours then shred the chicken. i usually add some cheese which makes this about 680 calories per bowl and yields 4 bowls. i use canned shit to make counting calories easier and because its cheap
Last thread ended right on my question damn it.Alright, what is something cheap and ready to eat straight out of the package that I can consume exclusively and supplement with vitamins? Tuna was my planned based off someone else's post but I don't want to fuck myself up with excessive mercury consumption, as whatever I pick will become my sole meal for a few weeks.
>>76959665Probably chicken bites.
Is losing 20 lb in one month possible (without cutting off my dick and balls)?
>>76959622I keep working out for a month then quitting for a few months and picking it up. I never see progress even with counting calories. I just need to actually stick with it.
>>76959691how much do u weigh rn
Any foods to fix brain fog while on a diet?
>am 5'9 bloke>reached my goal weight (65 kg) way sooner than I expected>but my stomach still isn't flat, and love handles still extremely obviousI know im skinnyfat but fucking hell I thought I'd be at least flat bellied by now, I don't even want abs just a flat stomachmy mates are telling me to start bulking up now but I dont want toI've already been consistently weightlifting experience increases in my lifts cause noobie gains, and doing cardio, why the fuck do I still have a stomach at 65should I just suck it up and keep dieting down to 60kg? I look pretty thin everywhere else so maybe the last 5kg of fat ill lose is actually on my stomach this time
>>76959705240 lb
>24 hours fast>already down 2lbsi know it's all water weight but damn does it feel good seeing the scale go down again.i got a little light headed when i got up but i'm not hungry yet.idk if i'll end up doing 36 hours or go for 48.
>>76959665not really out of the bag but extremely easy to prepare.beef patties in a pan.
>>76959733>should I just suck it up and keep dieting down to 60kg?if you can manage it, sure.i wouldn't bulk if i were you. just keep lifting while maximizing protein at TDEE.bulking and cutting cycles are for high level lifters and fraudsters. not normal people.
>>76959733Don't fall for the long cut into bulk meme, fatizen. It's a trap. Your hormones will be shot after a long cut cycle and if you start bulking you'll regain most fat. Do a maintenance phase and learn how to lift. At least two months of learning how to lift properly, and then your body will be primed to build muscle.Trust your fellow former fatties.Good morning to all

Losing weight hasn't done shit for me
>>76959808its doing wonders for future you
I've made it bros, I hit my goal weight, for the last year or so I've eaten nothing but boneless skinless chicken breasts and a couple heads of broccoli everyday as the only thing I eat all day, but now I'm 60lbs lighter and I'm on maintenance and I don't have a 1500kcal limit anymore, I spend 2000kcal now and man its so freeing, 500kcals to spend and so many options.First thing I did was swapped the boneless skinless chicken breast with chicken leg quarter, a lot more fat sure, and it wiped out like 350kcals for just this one change, but man they taste so much better than breasts and they're so much cheaper too. I got 31 from the butcher, a month's supply for $53, like holy fuck that's so much cheaper than skinless breasts, a months supply of breasts was costing me like $120~130.I've still got like 200kcals I can spend, not sure what else to add to my daily meal.
>>76959833Future me still won't have any friends and he'll still hate his job
>>76959796Its very very high in sodium
>>76959848u dont know that, unless ur psychic which u are notand either way its doing good for your health and body in ur later years
>>76959665You can go to virtually any grocery store and buy pre-cooked chicken breasts and precooked veggies (separately).
>>76959848Bro get a hobby, that's how you find friends, masturbating and playing video games alone in your room doesn't count as a hobby either. Find something you can do with other people outside your house. Look around your area, there's probably all sorts of stuff, sports, community activities, game stores, DnD, Warhammer, model kits, R/C cars/planes, fishing, boating, diving, whatever you go out, you engage with the hobby, you make friends with other guys and maybe even gals who like these things you like.
>>76959657my friend made me chili. incredibly dank and shockingly good macros if made properly. lean ground beef (or if you must, chicken or turkey), some beans. you dont need cheese. you can throw in some veggies.
>>76959777thanks guys, I've been looking forward to eating at maintenance for nearly 2 years now so at least I can enjoy it while trying to recomp, will do so with high protein and weightlifting
>>76959838giwtwmeating them without the skin drops a lot of calories.
we're so back
>>76959863If I made it anyone can make it, WAGMI.How much you got left until you hit your goal weight brother?
mentally I am in gazaleanmaxxing af
>>7695987542lbs until the ultimate goal of 15% bf. hopefully. 22lbs until i can fit in my older clothes.
>>76959860>enjoy it while trying to recompYou missed your window, lol
>>76959657variois combinations of california mix, olive oil, eggs, pork chops, tuna, chicken breast, beets and carrots, cheese, and milk
All this dieting has done for me is make me hate foodEverything that tastes good is unhealthy and everything healthy is boring
>>76959676>>76959773>>76959796>>76959851I was thinking something that needs no further cooking. I'll be on a road trip soon as well and I'm essentially not going to spend any money on eating out, so I was going to load the trunk with canned foods.
>>76959986then you're dieting wrong retardtry this, it's trivially easy>200g of tuna (not canned, a proper tuna steak, probably Ahi)>600-800g of carrots, potatos, golden beets>dice the veggies, toss them with a tablespoon of olive oil and some salt and pepper>lay them out flat on a baking sheet, bake for 40 minutes at 400>when there's 10 minutes left on the veggies start setting up for the tuna>use the leftover oil from tossing the veggies and a silicon brush to very lightly oil a small frying pan>lightly salt both sides of the tuna>heat the pan until the olive oil (there should only be like a teaspoon) begins to smoke>sear the tuna for 2-3 minutes per side, optionally searing the edges (I don't, I think the fact you can see the cooking gradient on the edge is neat)the center of the tuna should be raw, the seared surfaces should be just starting to brownplate and serve with a tall glass of 2% milkimpeccable macros, low calorie, high protein, and restaurant quality
>>76959988Most fast food places will actually have calories and sometimes macros on their website for the whole menu, you can eat relatively well even if you're reliant on drive-throughsI'd say pepperoni sticks are good snacks but watch the sodium, any sort of low fat cheese is going to have a decent protein to calorie ratio, canned tuna in moderation, you can technically eat canned chicken straight from the can but that's kinda barbaric
>>76959959what are you saying to me
i'm 10-20lbs away from my ''healthy weight'' that was listed for my age & height on whatever tdee calc i used a month ago. i'm so close
>>76960004I'm 8 lbs away from a """"""healthy bmi"""""""
>>76960000he believes recomp only happens with newbiegains and/or high body fat.recomp can happen any time. only the speed is different.
>>76959911My goal was only 20%, 15% sounds fucking hard, I have no idea how anyone could maintain that for more than a few months at a time.
>>76960000That you're a time waisting retard. Stupid. Instead of yoyoing your weight like an imbecille you could've recomped from the start. Now it's far too late, you imbecille fat manlet twink retard.
>>76959986you don't like steaks?
>>76960018No.
>>76959988I'm not sure why you cited me in your post because the two options I gave you both specified that they were pre-cooked.
>>76959998Just for clarity and information, the FDA does not require the oil used to prepare items in commercial food establishments to be listed as part of the calorie count.
>>76959988then idk.nuts are pretty good if you just don't want to bother with food.they're calorie dense and don't spoil. they don't fulfill your protein needs in 2000-2400 kcals though. they have 65-80g of proteins.
a new lowest weight is on the horizon

MadBandit87kg
>>76960018>steak is a health food
new to this entire "calorie counting" thing, im putting a limit at 2k a day. currently at 450, does this mean that I can go to dunkin donuts and get myself a large hot latte and maple sugar bacon sandwich (560 + 250 cals)
>>76960164Fatty ContestMadBandit87kgOops
>>76960173Yes.I would either drink lots of water beforehand or find a way to put protein powder in so you feel full for longer.
>>76960173you can but you'll be hungry 1 hour later. avoid added sugar and eat more protein.
>>76960166it is, yeahpeople have retarded ideas and hangups about dieting and have somehow conned themselves into thinking anything but salad and tofu is unhealthy when you actually want lots and lots of lean meat, as long as the steak is a good lean cut it's good food
>>76960173Counting calories is a tool towards your end goal. What is your goal? How big are you? What's your activity level? There are certain recommendations, such as ~2g BroTeen per kg of lean mass, ~75g of good quality fat (hormones) and carbs you shift to supplement your woekout levels.
>>76960173Buy ground beef and green chili and potatoes. You will actually be full.
>>76960173yeah but will that actually keep you full for the rest of the day? or would it be better to have just the sandwhich and a black coffee instead so you can have another 500kc later?

Hello fatness my old friendIm back from 132kg to 140kg @ 6ft5This time i will track my calories and aim for a loss of a pound a weekI would walk more than half an hour daily but ive been everywhere around my house 1000 times already and its all so bleak, ugly, grey, depressing....
>>76960238pathetic cope
>went to costco>bought a giant pack of less sodium spam>doing the math now>it's 85% fattastes good as fuck though
>>76959622>caught a bad flu and was bedridden for almost the entire holiday weekAt least it completely obliterated my appetite so this might be the first time I lost weight over the Christmas period, helped me break my plateau too (pretty sure I lost like a kilogram of lean muscle)
>>76960238Yeah, for ritual cannibalism, which the Greeks borrowed from pagan cultures and superficially injected over a Jewish framework
>>76959665literally protein powder.i'm cutting on whey isolate only rn, supplementing electrolytes & using glucomannan for fiber.I take tesofensine and it makes my brain think food is optional. don't need it.>>76959725what diet are you on? are your electrolytes okay?salt water (nacl+kcl) and magnesium glycinate or citrate doesn't matter.
>>76959986why is this a problem?just train yourself to enjoy the boring food. "i love broccoli; it's amazing. I will eat it every day. I love it. I love it. I love it. It tastes so good." your brain has neuroplasticity - you can rewire it to like certain things and dislike others.
started using chatgpt to track my calories + macros and damn is it goodi am at 1200 calories / 73g protein / 57g carbs / 80g fat today
>>76959993>DUDE HEALTHY FOOD TASTES GOOD UR DIETING WRONG>starts by telling the guy to eat tunalmao
Any other addiction you can just say to yourself don't do it.But not with food addiction. At some point you have to eat something
>>76960302>At some point you have to eat somethingfor fatties like you that point is 6 months from nowput down the fucking fork
>>76960302no you don't. supplements exist.
>>76960309Assimilation rates of supplements are shit, doubly so when not taken with food. If you're going to supplement make sure you take them with your food, otherwise you'll largely just piss them out.
I have eaten 1200kcals of chocolate today, it is only 2pm.
>>76959691Sure but 10lbs of it will be water weight.
>>76960312Sounds more like the universe is telling you to stop hurtful fad diets, start eating regular and hit the gym.
>>76960312>I watched some videos to only do light exercises during a fast. How true is this?your body can't recomp all muscle that's broken down during a fast because it isn't getting protein. You want to avoid heavy weight lifting because you realistically won't be able to recover until you start eating, and it's not well studied how muscle growth happens (if at all) during a fast. Light exercise is good. Not enough to significantly break down muscle fibers, but enough to stimulate them and trigger muscle synthesis which will prevent atrophy. Just stick to cardio and very low volume light lifting. On days that I fast I try to walk 2-3 hours.
anyone here using myfitnesspal?Im just checking it out today, seems to be good for tracking calories and all the nutrients.Also, the app recommends 2.5L of water per day. Whats the deal with water anyway? I know that all the gymgoers talk about drinking lots of water, what are the benefits, at the risk of sounding stupid?
Fatty ContestBetterNateThanLever194.5 lbsSince Thanksgiving my diet has been in a perilous state, as much as I'd like to blame my family for being nice and giving me delicious food to stuff my face with obviously the root of the matter lies in me for lacking self control and allowing these calories to enter my body with my consent. I'm getting back on the wagon though, gave away the junk I allowed to be in my house and got back to eating my chicken breasts and vegetables.
Really struggling lately>been on diet and weight lifting for about 6 months>highly motivated and workouts felt really good>last week i wake up to do my lifts, had massive muscle pain in my arm>decide to take a week off lifting to rest >today i was supposed to get back into it>go to do lifts>insanely hard, huge discomfort, i feel terrible, like im gonna throw up after every lift>almost no energywtf is happening to me? i used to love lifting and it felt good.
I couldn't sleep last night and I have a migraine. Give me some strength bros
>>76960418Electrolytes
>>76960419Its unrelated. I have chronic migraines. But I appreciate the tip - cheers anon
>>76960423Do you take electrolytes?
>>76960427Ok
>>76959855>>76959848It is simple to make friends. I'm 23 and as embarrassing as it is to admit, I just made my first friend in my entire adult life this year. There's a girl at work who seemed cool so I started making conversation with her, got to know her then asked if she wanted to get coffee, she introduced me to her other friend and now for the first time in my entire life I have friends I regularly go out with. I am neurodivergent so I did have to look up how to get along with people and easily the biggest thing is active listening.
>>76960428What?
>>76960436Just forget I even said anything dude
>>76960440You come across like an isane person.
>>76960444I literally said that my migraines are unrelated to electrolytes after you suggested electrolytes and then you responded to me saying it's unrelated to electrolytes by asking me if I take electrolytes.Just stop posting
>>76960391I use it, works for me.Water helps keep you full for no calories and helps you piss out the bad shit in your body. Not complicated. Just don't drink too much that you get water poisoning (which really shouldn't be possible unless you're drinking like an entire gallon of it in an hour)

How are you lads mentally coping if you still have an ugly face even after getting lean? I know ugly and fit is better than ugly and fat but sometimes it feels bad being ugly. I know it's not worth worrying about things you can't really affect just wanted to vent I guess.

Fatty Contestblindoptimism153.3lbs
>>76960497At the risk of sounding nebulous and facetious, what exactly do you mean by ugly? Is this a subjective term that you're using to describe how you feel about yourself? Or are you going on colloquially accepted social normality? i.e. you have acne, or a busted lip, or uneven eyebrows, or ragged hair, etc.
>>76960505100-105 is a good weight if you do at least some exercise, yeah, I was going to try to stay there, but now I have to lose 13kg again, should be doable in a few months so Im not too disheartened. I was a skelly at 85kg back in 2010.

>the bad fat is the fat you can't see lolHow do I know how much visceral fat I have without fancy machines?I doubt my scale is accurate
>>76960536Like I said before the scars aren't an issue. If anything they probably make me look cooler than I am. It's just the bone structure.

>>76961130I don't know how well that will work. I mean it was already getting falling apart since August and was getting exponentially worse by the month. December was horrific as it felt like I was a starving village boy lol
>>76961138I mean... when you eat at maintenance you ideally shouldnt be hungry cause you are eating enough.
>>76961088yes it isjust CICO isn't for everyone. i've tried it for 3 months and stalled for 2 of them after 14lbs drop in the first month.now, i've broken my 2 months stall.i don't have cold feet nor do i feel COLD anymore. i do feel weaker and light headed if i stand up fast though.
Apparently if I eat at BMR I'll only lose 3lbs a month, is losing weight really that slow?
>hit new lowest weight only because I woke up very dehydrated and took a piss AND a shit>will take me almost two weeks to hit that lowest weight again due to fat loss without being dehydratedit makes me spreadsheet look like a roller coaster or that I stalled for a couple weeks even though I haven’t
>>76961122what do you binge on as a vegan?rice and eggs?
>>76961187just be consistently dehydrated, you just have to pull the long hot bath before you weigh yourself.
>>76961182for sedentaries, yes.
>>76961198You can't even exercise properly eating that little
>>76961200you can walk or eat even less. 6lbs a month is more common.
>>76961194>vegan>eggs
>>76961214rice and bread?
>>76961220>Bread>Vegan
>>76961223rice and tree bark?
>>76961194Lots of rice, bread, pasta, noodles, mock dairy, mock meat, dumplings, pastries, and more importantly desserts (very easy to make desserts vegan). I spent too much money on food.>>76961223Many kinds of breads are vegan, like sourdough, ciabatta, focaccia etc.
>>76961239 (Me)Oh, and potatoes of course.
>>76960645I'm the same as the other anon, your before is exactly where I am now. In for tips on going forward. Great work.
Ive burnt myself out. Running, walking, gym and cycling, always while on a pretty big deficit. I hate waiting, but in this case I was having better weightloss results when I was just walking and in deficit. Now Im spinning my wheels and just always tired. I know the solution, but Im not sure I'm happy about it.
>>76961065you gotta continue the weight loss its not called a slow now is it
>>76959622/fat/ties, just got a DEXA scan and partially crashing out. For overview:>6'5>Worked down from 300lbs>Now 190>Have gotten strong, 4pl skwat for 8>Get a DEXA scan from a sketchy rape van on the street (bodyspec)>Sez I'm only at abt 147lbs lean mass, 37lbs fat mass>Already having sleep issues at a 500cal deficit with additional fasted cardio>Their stats comparing me against other clients (this introduces a selection bias against trained, lean people) says I'm trashIs the roughly 150 at 190 that bad? Or is this just a decent foundation? I'm trying not to crash out and grok on x states that, if it adjust my height down, my LMI index is solidly athletic but everything is just stretched out and it seems paltry due to the height.
>haven't shat>ate a bunch of sodium yesterday>fully expecting a 1lb+ bounce>morning weigh in>down half a poundthis is gonna be a good week
>>76961214eggs are an IQ test for vegans, if they claim to be vegan for moral reason but don't eat backyard eggs from pampered chickens they're objectively wrong on utilitarian grounds(If they claim to be vegan for health reasons they're also wrong because eggs are healthier than any pea protein slop)
>>76961296Is that cope I hear?
>>7696128221% body fat? not too bad pretty average. you have a large frame at 6'5" so you could stand to be like 200-220+ lbs and lean. lots of room to put on muscle
>>76961282Well, it's not bad... could be worse. But 147 is tiny. Tiny tiny tall man. How's your ohp, bench and dødlyft? Maybe stop the deficit and go HC into recomp?
>>76961299>vegan saying copeyour identity consists of consuming ultraprocessed cope versions of natural foods because you've deluded yourself, I'll eat the eggs you don't and I'll be healthier than you for it lmao
>>76961308read as 19.3% but running my tape measurements and calipers through grok and having it use RFM to compensate for height suggested 17.5% so I'm just a little butt-hurt. I still look decent but keeping a ton of fat on my torso (trunk reading at 21.8% ffs) but allegedly being taller causes the illusion of a slightly lower bf %>>76961309I haven't OHP'd in awhile due to shoulder issues but last time I did I managed a PR of 150 for 7, now I do pec deck superset incline bench at about 220x8 then 135 x 3. 45lbs for 5 on side delt raises.Deadlift is shit because of spinal injury but the 4pl skwat is real which is why this is so confusing. I've also maxed out our tricep extension machine at 200lbsx9 and have to superset bodyweight dips after.
Help a bro out.I'm trying to find foods that's very low calorie but I can eat throughout the day. I've been stacking gum but chewing so much of it starts tasting like plastic. I need an alternative.
>>769613201) don't snack2) if you have to, popcorn (lesser evil is organic and uses coconut oil which is thermobolic- but don't forget that popcorn is very carcinogenic due to PHAs and aldehydes from the popping process.
>>76959833fuck him
>>76961296some of us are citycucks and don't have a neighbor with pampered chickens
>>76961320stuff yourself with lots of veggie bulk at meal time and you won't feel the need to snack desu
>>76961320pickles
>>76961324Home kettle popped corn is a Godsend. Non cancer if you keep the ingredients simple.
>>76961282>>Worked down from 300lbs>>Now 190that's fucking great, anon.just keep lifting while maxing out protein.idk if you want to be in deficit or not. theoretically speaking, you don't have to be in deficit but if you don't like the way you look and are unwilling/unable to lift more, just stay in deficit.your squat is pretty high. especially at your height. so i wouldn't push my luck if i were you.
>>76959622Hey anons. If I'm fasting purely for weight loss should I be doing rolling 48's or 72's? I realize I'll lose a bit more doing 72's but I hate the brain fog with 72's.
>>76961367>but I hate the brain fog with 72's.there is your answer.you should be doing something you're able to do consistently.
>>76961367Also I'm only 20 pounds overweight.
>>76961369the lighter you are, the less tume you should spend fasting.
This general is retardedJust get tirzepatide or retatrutide and start pinning once a weekAny lard goblin will become slim with this shit, it's really that simpleI'm eating garbage food and never feel hungry and I lost, like, 12kg in the last two monthsAND I've lost 20kg in 5 months TWICE in the past several years (I do be like that, I eat then cut, eat and cut, don't ask). It's WAY easier to lose fat with these drugs. I don't even do cardio anymore, I just don't need it
>>76961368>>76961372k anons. Thanks.
>>76961374It isn't all just about the number on the scale, some of us want to be healthy and build healthy habits.
>>76961374>just stop being poor, bro
>>76961375all me
>>76961374I support this for people who struggle to lose weight but I've been losing weight natty since October and I'm pretty happy with my progress
