    Anyone else feeling EXTREME hunger the day after workout?

    @clarky There’s a lot to unpack here. First, what is your goal? I’m writing this assuming you want to lose weight because that’s what most people in this sub are looking to do. If you’re not looking to lose weight, then the only solution for extreme hunger is to eat more food. However if you...

    What’s your ‘genius’ high protein snack/meal?

    @nilsa 1 scoop is all I use. But you could add more. The Kodiak cakes mix is higher in protein than regular pancake mix

    5’4 last few pounds are so hard to lose

    @1christianchick It depends on the season. It’s definitely easier for me to hit my goal in the spring and fall. And in the late summer I have to do a lot of steps early before it gets scorching hot. I live in Kentucky so in the winter I do treadmill on a 1% incline. For the speed, I just go with...

    5’4 last few pounds are so hard to lose

    @ki77ie Yeah the closer you get to your goal weight, the more diligent you have to be. Everything has to be on point. Sleep, stress levels, etc. And the leaner you are the hungrier you feel in a deficit. I’m right there with ya. 5’2” Sitting at 115. Just entered a cutting phase this week after...

    How to maintain protein intake

    @midestinee Something is considered a good source of protein if it has 10g of protein or more for every 100 calories. If you’re vegetarian, you’ll want to focus on dairy, protein powder, and egg whites to meet your protein goal. These are the best protein sources relative to calories. For...

    I'm not fat, I just live in the u.s. (iykyk)

    @djj1973 There are some seasons of our life where we aren’t ready to enter a fat loss phase because we already have too much on our plates or enough stress to deal with as is. Wishing you better luck this time around!

    Morning routine!

    @aksavage Nope. You just gotta be gritty, suck it up, and get out of bed. Getting to the gym is the hardest part. Once you’re there, you’re good. You can have the pain of discipline or the pain of being disappointed in yourself. Choose your pain. Personally, I think the pain of disappointment is...

    Suggestions for easy healthy meals or just basic healthier survival

    @heartshapedglass Keep it simple as hell. The microwave and frozen foods are your friends. Air fry some frozen grilled chicken strips (100 cals), microwave an instant rice cup (200 cals), microwave some frozen broccoli (30 cals) put it in a bowl and throw some G Hughes sauce on top (10 cals)...

    How do I eat more?

    @langley7 Pretty standard for a small woman. But the total calories you expend daily is higher than that. Thats how many calories you would require to keep your organs functioning if you were in a coma.

    How do I eat more?

    @langley7 BMR is mostly determined by genetics. You can increase your TDEE by increasing your NEAT, eating a high protein and whole foods focused diet (which increases your TEF), strength training to increase lean body mass, and never staying in a calorie deficit for too long. But it’s...

    Lifting heavy v low weight/high reps for slimmer legs?

    @arttonie If you carry extra fat in your legs, it’s gonna be a calorie deficit to get them smaller. It’s not about your workouts. I have genetically big legs. When I do a calorie deficit, my legs get slim pretty quickly, after about 6-8 weeks I’ll see them get smaller. When I eat in a calorie...

    Confused on Macros

    @robertwarhero2 Track your food the night before in a food tracking app like my fitness pal. Don’t go into your day not knowing what you’re going to eat or trying to “wing it” You don’t need a program. Keep calories and protein in check. I’d shoot for 130 g of protein and at least 50g fat. Let...

    Plateau and Gaining on Reverse Diet

    @didyousaysomething Yeah I’d definitely increase your daily steps! If you can get them up gradually it will really help to increase your TDEE and you’ll be able to eat more calories. Start by going to 8k. Then once you’re comfortable there, push it to 10k. If you want to ramp it up more, go up...
