@dojoloach You don't want to go too fast. Losing 1-2lbs a week is solid progress. I wouldn't want to exceed around 1% of your bodyweight per week else you're really risking muscle loss, and, depending on your TDEE, it could mean you're eating too little to hit your nutritional goals (ie...

@fight_forever You don't need to count calories super precisely, but being aware of calories is very important. It's super easy to think youve not eaten a lot, but you've had a few extremely, calorically dense foods. Focus on eating fresh, whole foods. Avoid/limit ultra processed foods (bread...

@baldwinbeckett Better for what? If you wanna get better at running... run. If you want easier to recover from... walk. Also, with the incline, don't hold on to the handles (or rather... dont' grip them, you can put your hands there for a bit of support, but don't be supporting your weight...

@hemanthbadda Breasts are not impacted by muscle mass. You may be overestimating how much muscle you're gonna build up on your chest, it takes a while to make a huge difference. And even then, your cup size is gonna be measured from the breast sitting in front of the muscle. If you could build...

@aroah1015 It doesn't matter, if you feel fine working out fasted, you're fine. Having 30g protein before a workout isn't gonna give you energy. Having carbs would. But if you don't feel like you need it, don't have it. Getting protein in after a workout is good, BUT the timing doesn't...

@simon77 So i'm not a doctor, but I dunno if I'd go vegetarian. Now I don't have your issue, but my LDL was slightly high (HDL was golden). I actually increased my red meat consumption and my LDL has gone down. Vegetarian isn't inherently healthy, if that's what you were implying from "80%...

@sarahz You have maybe built a bit of muscle, but I think the bigger factor may be the more conscientious eating. If youve started making healthier choices, that is reflected in your body as a lot of ultra processed foods are quite inflammatory. But ultimately, to lose weight, you need to eat...

@monica23 /r/gainit Ultimately, you very likely don't have a fast metabolism, you just don't eat nearly as much as you think you do. The difference between a fast and slow metabolism is about 100-200 calories per day. So you just need to eat more. You don't defy the laws of physics. Trying...

@ellymm I wouldn't really say there are any guidelines really. I think a person should be able to function in daily life with ease though (barring injury/other legitimate exceptions). So basic stuff like being able to get off the floor quickly (and I'd argue without needing to use your hands)...

@babychristian10 Ultimately motivation is a fleeting bitch. You just need to build a habit and do it. Think of your fitness like a 2nd job .. you may not want to go to work, but you gotta get paid, so you go. Having and obtainable goal to work towards can be helpful too, something you can...

@babychristian10 Wayyyy too much. I can see benefit of an in person, personal trainer to help with form and being able to help you safely push harder than you would on your own. I wouldn't pay for an online trainer to check form as you can do this for free online. You can post form videos on...

@blueskies88 You're 16, you'll grow just by existing.

@feverforever Do activity you enjoy and can do safely, at a volume you can comfortably manage and recover from. You do NOT need to go intense, you do not need to push yourself super hard. I would encourage some weight lifting in order to help preserve muscle mass and possibly build some. This...

@blueskies88 Yeah. Then I'd just maintain or let your hunger dictate your calories. If you're eating whole foods, that's a pretty solid cue to follow

@mineben256 Doesn't matter... It's cardio either way, it's not gonna build leg muscles if you are doing actual leg work with weights (and if you weren't, it's very minimal what it would build). For calories burned, the difference is a drop in the bucket (don't trust the estimate the machine...

@pastordavid7398 I would pick a proven routine from the r/fitness wiki, there are plenty of 4 day options. I would also say increase your cardio, 15 minutes is basically nothing. You can do cardio on your off days as well. Hell, just go for more walks around your neighborhood. Also, ignore...

@blueskies88 You don't say how tall you are, which matters. Also, what's your potential growth like? (ie, how tall is your dad or other men in your family?) Cus depending on that, the answer could be just to roughly try and maintain your weight and focus on eating high protein and eating...

@muleskinnerblues It really depends on what you're mistracking or not tracking on how many calories different it could be. 100-200 calories may be a normal margin of error when tracking calories in a day because it's still just an estimate. Like two 200g slabs of chicken breast could be...

@donna8558 Honestly, you just don't. Just stay consistent with your exercise and eat consistently and if you track your calories, you'll find roughly where you would maintain weight. The biggest mistake you can make is adding in extra calories based on exercise you've done. The exception to...

@jerryfont You should hit your protein goals DAILY. If hitting this goal includes you drinking a protein shake, then yes, you should have it on your day off. Ultimately, from a muscle building standpoint, a protein shake is no different than eating a chicken breast. It just comes down to total...
