    I can't afford enough protein to grow muscle

    @mcl123 Any exercise is better than none! Very few people can aim to be as optimal as possible - you basically have to be an established professional bodybuilder to be able to focus on just training, eating, and resting. How much protein are you able to eat daily? Any helps, and you’ll be fine...

    What’s the best way to lose a lot of weight

    @sakirasame Your body starts using fat when there's not enough energy from other sources, meaning you're at a calorie deficit. You can eat nothing but chicken and still gain weight and fat if you go over your daily calorie expenditure. Please stop saying this kind of nonsense, someone might...

    What’s the best way to lose a lot of weight

    @zindebaad That's just another way of saying I might be in the wrong here, time to get out. Lowest recorded healthy BRMs are around 1000-1200 range. Some rare cases exist (thyroid issues, malnutrition) that can push you below that, but they are outliers. I don't know your medical history, you...

    What’s the best way to lose a lot of weight

    @zindebaad There are plenty of things affecting your metabolism, that is true. But if you eat less calories than you burn, where does your body come up with the energy to keep your weight stable? If you stop eating completely will you still keep at the exact same weight? I know my comment was...

    What’s the best way to lose a lot of weight

    @zindebaad This is really not how it works. If you are at a calorie deficit, you will lose weight no matter what you eat. Eating nothing but McDonalds for 1000 calories per day when you use up 1500 calories per day will make you drop weight. It'll make you feel horrible real soon, but you will...

    19(F) Underweight with belly fat, how do I go from here?

    @annieinsight While sweets and desserts are often very calorie dense, they don’t just automatically turn into fat. Some of the calories past your daily expenditure are stored as fats. If you use up more calories than you eat in a day, those sweets don’t turn into fat. Same goes the other way -...

    Super busy and don’t have time to work out. Suggestions?

    @cflowers87 And you think making money straight up applies to building muscle, as well? You still need to put in the work to build muscle and get bigger, no way around it. Make room for working out, pick one of the proven beginner routines found in the wiki linked by the bot, and get lifting

    @chikkugtavc Try eating whole foods instead of shakes?

    Super busy and don’t have time to work out. Suggestions?

    @cflowers87 No easy and fast ways around it or everyone would be already doing it. You make time for it or don’t work out

    Fatigue at gym during diet

    @supportyourpresident You already know your priorities, apparently. Eventually you are going to stall when in a deficit - training when cutting weight is mostly done to keep as much muscle as possible. Keep lifting to the best of your ability. Are you getting enough protein to support your...

    How to get going to the gym???

    @alenharry Take a look at the wiki linked by the bot. Plenty of free apps available for tracking calories. You can eat too much of the "healthy" foods, as well, and you'll gain weight doing that. 500 calorie deficit per day is roughly 0.5 kg lost per week

    How can i lose more weight (fat) while gaining or retaining muscle? (5’8, 22 years old)

    @manfromfin As a beginner, it is very much possible to put on some muscle while losing weight. Eat plenty of protein and follow some proven routine - plenty available in the wiki linked by the bot. 1400 calorie deficit is most likely too much. You’ll want to lose no more than 1% of your body...

    How to get going to the gym???

    @alenharry You can lose weight without any exercise - weight is mostly lost at the dinner table. If you don’t lose weight your diet and food absolutely are the problem. 3 days per week is more than enough. Pick one of the proven, working full body routines found in the wiki

    How much should I rest after intense training?

    @prodigio One month on - three months off is very sporadic training and makes you a beginner. Working out requires consistency and you won’t be making much of a difference in three weeks. I have no idea how intensive youth police academy training might be but I would take several days of rest...

    2 years and little progress

    @strugglingpilgrim08 How much do you sleep? When was the last time you deloaded and maybe took a week off from your routine? When was the last time you changed your routine completely?

    Weight Loss w/ Nexplanon

    @souha What is your daily calorie intake? Are you getting enough fats, roughly 0.3 g / lb? You can’t avoid losing weight when in a calorie deficit. That being said, hormonal irregularities can really do a number on your metabolism

    Underweight but look fat

    @ampworship You are already underweight. Don’t try to lose any more weight. You fix being ”skinny fat” by building up more muscle, not by losing even more weight. Start eating, with plenty of protein, and make sure to follow some proven beginner routine

    Beginning tips for a tall guy

    @srdkr You lose weight at the dinner table. Sure, exercise helps and it has tons of added benefits, but it's mostly about what you eat if your goal is to simply lose weight. Go into a calorie deficit and you'll lose weight. Nice article in the wiki
