Chicken breast V chicken breast mince
Okay so this is probably so dumb, but I’ve noticed that when I eat 100g chicken breast mince 2x a day I get a better result with weight loss than I do eating 100g chicken breast 2x a day. I’ve tested it eating the exact same quantity of vegetables I have with both types and I always get the best result with mince. Is this a thing??

Abs and diet
So I mainly eat these things,
Pancakes, eggs, grapes, pineapples in the morning sometimes bananas. Afternoon for lunch mainly salmon, rice, and vegetables. For dinner I eat salmon or chicken with rice and vegetables. Side things i eat are a lot of almonds, water, pineapples, drink pineapple juice, etc. and of course Oreos I know they’re high in sugar and fat but I can’t stop eating them lol but I’m trying to figure out does your abs suppose to show without you flexing? I’m only 5’5 weigh 139 and they show great when I flex and sometimes do other things that activates that area like jump or laugh and etc, so is it possible I have a little extra fat on my stomach or? Because I doubt it’s fat but I guess i should work out certain areas to make them show more? Any advice?

Early morning workout. What kind of carbs?
Is it better to have oatmeal before an early morning workout or would just a banana be fine (with protein of course, but I'm just wondering what kind of carbs)? I've been having eggs and oatmeal before and whey and dextrose after. But would sugary carbs be better before and whole grain carbs be better after? I workout hard for about an hour at about 5:00 am. I'm 5'5 145 lbs, could use a little more muscle but not trying to add any fat

Food Diary Apps
Hi guys,
I've been using MyFitnessPal to track my food for about 4 years now. But as I'm getting more serious with my training and reading more about nutrition science, I notice that MyFitnessPal gets a lot of flack from more advanced lifters and the more scientific community. The main two reasons from my reading are 1. It counts all macros equally (I.E. Protein as protein regardless of the quality of that protein) and 2. Because it doesn't TEACH people anything, it's just a log.
So I have two questions please!
1. Are there any other reasons to avoid MyFitnessPal?
2. Most importantly, can you recommend any better apps which address those problems?
Thanks in advance, Emma.

I am drinking half a gallon of skim milk a day. Is it safe?
Long story short, I have been fighting stomache ulcer symptoms for the past 6 months. Braum's Skim milk has been my go to for calories and protein since it is easy on my stomache. The milk has 13g protein and 18g sugar per 8 oz.
I have been drinking half a gallon of skim milk for 2 months straight now, but I am starting to think about the possible effects it could have on my health in the future if I continue. So I am curious, how bad is it really to be drinking half a gallon of milk a day?

Macro adjustments when increasing HIIT
Hi there,
I have been on a calorie deficits for 4 months and naturally not seeing significant gains in mass. Granted I lost a good amount of body fat. However, I feel flat most of the time and my work outs have suffered.
I want to tighten up, which I guess is a bodyfat issue, but I don't want to look emaciated.
I am 144 pounds (down from around 155 when I started the diet for months ago).
I eat approx 150 / 160 grams protein a day and play with fats and carbs (High carb of around 200/250 grams carbs for two or three days a week, then below 100 for the others, wherein fat increases). I usually aim for around 1,900-2,000 cal a day. Would this be enough to start gaining? (While on the 'cut' I capped total cal at around 1,400-1,600).
I want to start doing more HIIT just to rev up the fat burning but I don't want to end up burning muscle. I currently lift 4 - 5 days a week, and do HIIT or LIIT twice a week
I posted a recent picture. I am 5'8 and 26 years old.
Any tips would be appreciated!

Increased appetite on a slow lean bulk :(
I’m on a very slow bulk since I wanna gain muscle without gaining too much fat and sorta still somewhat intuitively eat with the mindset of making sure I eat enough without going overboard. Ideally I’d like to be in a 100-200 calorie surplus Max. However I’m finding that to be hard when my appetite has increased a decent amount. I used to eat around 2200-2400 but now it seems I need closer to 2800 to feel satiated and like I ate enough, which is more of a surplus than I need. Anyone else going through this? Any tips/advice? (I’m a female)

Stuck at 15% and getting headaches when I reduce calories
Currently I'm at about 15% body fat and I work out about 6x/week. I'm 46 year's old.
8 months ago I was at about 20% body fat and I've been increasing muscle and lowering my body fat level consistently until about 2-3 months ago. For the past 2-3 months I've been holding at about 157-159lbs with the same body fat percentage. I take the body fat measurements from a scale and, while I know this is not the most accurate reading, it has been consistent. Plus my body makeup (based on photos and what I look like in the mirror) has changed very little in the past 2-3 months.
Over the past month, I've tried to reduce calories. When I eat less though, I often get headaches throughout the day. It feels as though I'm stuck at my current weight and body fat % and cannot make progress without "starving" myself. I have a few thoughts which I've noted below and would welcome any advice.
First - I don't think it's about water. I drink a lot of water throughout the day. I drink and absolute minimum of 1 gallon of water each day and usually it's more than 1.5 gallons.
Second - could it be that I'm not scheduling my meals at close enough intervals. This is a little difficult to do as I have a job where I go 4-5 hours without being able to eat a real meal only small snacks.
Third - Maybe I require a more accurate calorie count of my day. I hover around 3000 calories and while I'm very strict with the foods I eat, I am not strict with calorie counting.
Fourth - Maybe it's just impossible for me to get below 15% with my current workout. Several years ago I was at about 10-11% which is ideal, but I was doing a lot of cardio, close to 5 hours a week, and weighed close to 140lbs. I do not have the time for so much cardio now and I hate to think it's impossible for me to get below 15% without it.
I figure there's got to be something I'm missing. If anyone has been in this situation or has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

How important is diet?
So I am in high school and all my friends eat the school lunch (pizza, cheeseburgers, calzones, etc) and they go to the gym like 2-3 times a week, don't follow a proper workout or nutrition plan, but still manage to get big. I on the other hand have been following a strict diet for the past 1.5 years. I know all my calories and macros. I follow a proven strength program. But how come I am not bigger or stronger than my friends who just do and eat whatever they want? It doesn't make sense. Can someone explain for me?

Nachos "Vehicle" alternatives
I am a huge fan of nachos, but not a big fan of the calories and carbs involved in tortilla chips as the vehicle for getting all of the "good stuff" in my mouth. I don't *avoid* carbs per se, but I also don't seek them out. I never get a protein style burger, or skip the tortilla with a taco, and love pizza, but would much rather have something lower in calories if possible when eating a 2500 calorie plate of nachos. I tried zucchini this weekend, which was a limp failure. Also not into the cheese chips, which become super flimsy after a few minutes in. Any recommendations?
A friend mentioned he used used wedges of bell peppers as chips, which I'll be trying this weekend, but open to any suggestions. I crave fat and protein, just trying to lower overall calories when I've already packed on tons of meat, cheese, beans, guacamole, sour cream, etc. My last batch crept up on 1900 calories, and a large chunk of it was the tortilla chips.

almonds are good?
Right now I'm trying to avoid protein shakes so I am eating some high protein yoghurt (80kcal, 14g proteins) as breakfast and I throw in about 30g of almonds to add some taste and some extra proteins and I drink a glass of milk. Now I'm wondering if those almonds are a good idea because they're actually quite high in fats (15g fats, 13.6 unsaturated, and 8g proteins) and I'm already drinking milk which has some fats as well...
Should I skip the almonds or not?

Going from Cut to Bulk
Hi guys,
I'm approaching the end of my cut (will finish it in July) and had a question about planning my diet for when I bulk.
Some background. I've been cutting since the end of March (properly anyway - before that I was 'dieting' but having to many cheat meals/snack etc.) and have lost 12lb in the 9 weeks since then. By the time I finish the cut I expect to be 154lb and around 10-12% BF. I'm 5'8.
I estimate my maintenance calories to be 2400-2600 and have been eating 1800-1900 calories a day (Monday to Thursday - Friday evening/weekends I have 'off' as long as I don't go over 2400 calories).
For my bulk, I'm planning on starting at 2900 calories, with the hope of putting on 2-3lb a month.
When putting my meal plan together to get to that 2900 calories, I've had room to put in what would be considered unhealthy meals/snack.
For example, one day I might have a pizza as one of my meals, another I might have French fries and ice cream, another day I might have a big bowl of pasta carbonara or a fry up etc. Plus I have put in to have a Snickers chocolate bar on several of the days.
Most of the other stuff I'd be eating would be healthy (chicken, fish, fruit, veg etc.) and my macros would be reasonable (Protein 1.3-1.5g per lb, Fat 0.6-0.7g per lb), so does it matter that I'd be eating some 'unhealthy' stuff each day? Or is it just a case of IIFYM? I want to put on weight while staying as lean as possible (who doesn't!).
Thanks
Will

Another cut or bulk question... opinion please
Hi guys,
Would really appreciate your opinion. I’ve been cutting for a while now, currently at around 156lb down from 245lb (quite a long time ago). Spent a long time around 175lb in between.
Eating around 1700-1900kcal 160gP/150gC/60gF approx
TDEE 2300, lift 4-5 t8mes per week
Losing a lot of strength in gym and obviously lack muscle mass. Starting to really see some progress with fat loss, can start to see abs and lower pecs in the very best light and mirror conditions (by no means am I saying I have abs or pecs!)
Should I continue to cut to get leaner before going to a lean bulk at maintenance. Or start now? It will deffo be a lean bulk, I’ve been chubby forever. So will struggle to purposefully put on weight. Mindset wise.
I’ve been stuck with same body composition for a long time. Stuck in the middle of cutting then bulking constantly. So want to do it properly this time, hence why I’m willing to continue the cut to get properly lean even though I’m getting pretty small!
Goal is to look good not necessarily be the strongest.

Squat 5x100kg

My starting weight Was 123.5Kg my current weight is 98 kg attached is my diet for last 3 weeks and my last inbody scan 10 days ago (in case it might help there is a translation paper since it is written in Japanese). I have a few questions please bare with me because I am getting a bit disappointment beginning to lose motivation due to a lot slower results.

2- what kind of supplements should I be using I currently use Isopure zero Carb whey , should I add anything further like CLA , BCAA, l-carnitine, creatine, multivitamin etc what could be useful and how to arrange since I am on a budget so what comes first and what follows.
Furthermore any advice you feel like I might use is very much appreciated.

how bad is sugar in diet?
so i’ve been doing these workouts for a couple weeks, getting into working out and such. i’m only 16 and i’ve been tracking all my calories with fitness pal which is very helpful because it lets me know my carb and protein intake. my question is if i meet my carbs and protein, is the sugar aspect a big deal? i know i prolly shouldn’t have a lot of sugar but like a decent amount, not too much, is it okay?

Hey guys I am a skinny dude, at the current time there are circumstances which I'm working on that inhibit me from generating additional forms of income and I don't make very much money right now, on top of this I also have an extremely high metabolism and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a food I could possibly buy in bulk so I can start working out?
I doesn't matter if it's just one thing, or not very tasty, for me the point is gains, cheers.
Edit: One thing to add is that I'm VEGAN, not 100% though i.e. milk in bread dough/chocolate etc.
Yeah, I got alot going against me as you can see..

Bulk, Cut or Maintain
Hey Guys,
as the title says, I'm wondering if I should continue my cut, eat at maintenance or start (lean) bulking
about me: I'm 180cm @82.5kg, started cutting and lifting in November and went down from 105.5 since then. I lift 3-4 times a week, following a 5x5 workout (Reg Park's 5x5 to be specific)

thanks for your help :)

Low energy and irritable mood after lunch
I've recently noticed that food could be the cause of my low energy/depressed state that hits around 2pm almost everyday like clockwork. About two weeks ago I noticed that it always happens after I eat, so I've dialed back my portions and have been sticking to low-carb/light lunches like salads. I do drink enough water.
I also have a slight case of gyno that hurts a bit after I eat. I notice a little, albeit very slight, pain in my chest after I eat around the nipple area on both pecs. Sometimes its more extreme than others.
If I don't eat for a majority of the day, I actually have a ton of energy.
I'm getting my bloodwork/hormones checked tomorrow at 4pm but wanted to post here as I have no idea what to really ask or what it could be.
Thanks.

What kind of macros in my surplus
I am doing a lean bulk and my macros are
190P
80F
417C
When making my surplus I added 250 calories to my maintenance to get 3150. These added calories came all from carbs. I prefer a higher protein diet than this because I like to eat meat at every meal or some sort of protein source as well as pre and orpost workout shake and a casein shake at night. Would I be able to change some of my added carbs to protein and still gain muscle because of the surplus? Or should I stay strictly with the added carbs. I weigh 175lbs, 6’2, 16 years old.

Complicated Nutrition Question
Moving this from other section. Please forgive to anyone who has already read it.
I'm still having trouble getting a nutrition plan together after reading the sticky thread. Can I get a few opinions for what I've come up with?
Background: 42, male, 6'3", swimmers body, 205 pounds (down from 235 last year while gaining muscle). 18% body fat (down from maybe 26% last year). Computer job (sitting all day)
Weekly Exercise: Gym twice a week (1.5hr intense basketball and 45 mins lifting each trip to the gym), active on weekends (hiking, yard work, roller skating, swimming). I burn 2400 cals on normal days, 3300 on workout days, and 3000 per day on the weekend for an average of 2750 cals per day.
Goal: Get to 16% body fat while not losing muscle. Then keep at 16% while building muscle.
Using Web Diet Calculator:
(1) Cut to 16%: CARBS: 169 G PER DAY, PROTEIN: 169 G PER DAY, FATS: 37 G PER DAY, Calories from Carbs/Protein/Fat: 1700, Calories from other things: 650 (total Calories = 400 less than I burn)
(2) Maintain 16% and bulk (I took the average of maintain and bulk from the calculator): CARBS: 265 G PER DAY, PROTEIN: 175 G PER DAY, FATS: 60 G PER DAY, Calories from Carbs/Protein/Fat: 2300, Calories from other things: 450 (total Calories = what I burn)
Using Sticky Thread Guidance:
(1) Cut to 16%: CARBS: 243 G PER DAY, PROTEIN: 160 G PER DAY, FATS: 82 G PER DAY, Calories from Carbs/Protein/Fat: 2350, Calories from other things: 0 (total Calories = 400 less than I burn)
(2) Maintain 16% and bulk: CARBS: 310 G PER DAY, PROTEIN: 175 G PER DAY, FATS: 90 G PER DAY, Calories from Carbs/Protein/Fat: 2750, Calories from other things: 0 (total Calories = what I burn)
The biggest difference between the sticky thread and the calculator seems to be the amount of fat.
Raw data from calculator:
I used lightly active (moderate exercise with sedentary job)
Bulk: CARBS: 293 G PER DAY, PROTEIN: 196 G PER DAY, FATS: 72 G PER DAY
Maintain: CARBS: 237 G PER DAY, PROTEIN: 158 G PER DAY, FATS: 59 G PER DAY
Cut: CARBS: 169 G PER DAY, PROTEIN: 169 G PER DAY, FATS: 37 G PER DAY
Used this to get calories per g: 1 Protein = 4g cals, 1g Fat = 9 cals, 1g carb = 4 cals
Thanks!

Transitioning to maintenance calories...
So my weight loss journey has come to an end, deliberately overshooting my goal weight by about five pounds so as to give myself a bit of breathing room, and I absolutely cannot wait to get out of this deficit. I've been eating at around 1800 a day for the past several months, with my maintenance requirements being around 2400, so I've got 600 to add.
How gradual does this process have to be? I've seen most people suggest something along the likes of 150 per week until you get to where you need to be so as to give your metabolism time to adapt, with others- like Lyle McDonald- rejecting this idea of prolonged 'reverse dieting' as unnecessary, counter productive, and something that you can pull off in a few days.
Obviously I like this idea better, as the idea of another month in a deficit, weight, measuring, and calculating, doesn't sound like a good time. What would happen if I suddenly transition to maintenance from a deficit like this?

Noob Lifter , Counting Macros - Must?
I'm fairly new to lifting but basically I want to work hard in the gym and eat a clean diet to build muscle mass.
Is it absolutely necessary to count macros for the sake of building mass? Or can this be done by eating regularly, clean, and healthy.
My current diet is currently as follows:
Morning:
8-12 eggs + Rice + blueberries
midday Smoothie with Protein (1-2 scoops)
Lunch - Sandwich or Burger
After Lunch Snack - Banana or nuts
Dinners - Steak + Vegetables
Before Bed: cottage cheese
I've been running this for a bit and doing fairly high volume at the gym. How long can I get away with a routine like this?
Thanks for insights

Question concerning the digestion of dietary fats in nuts
So I've read that a good portion of the fats from nuts are not absorbed properly due to fiber, etc.
So my question is this, would someone who is hitting the fat minimum (.4-.5 x lbs) who is also relying on a lot their fat intake from nuts be in danger of not hitting their daily requirements? Or is this nut fat absorption stuff baloney?
I'll hang up and listen..

Relatively high caloric deficit
Welcome, this is my first post.
I am 18 years old, and I am not in my best shape of my life. Recently I have gained a lot of fat, due to a really poor & unhealthy diet.
I pretty much understand the basics of gaining & losing weight, but I have a question!
The last time I measured myself (with a body analyzer scale; which of course is not 100% accurate) I got the following results:
Weight: 72,6 kg
Body fat mass: 31,6% (22,9 kg)
Body muscle mass: 35,5% (25,7 kg)
I am aware of the fact, that I carry way too much fat on my body, so I came up with this idea:
On the days, when I keep my caloric intake under 500 calories per day, I usually eat 4 cooked eggs, which is around 329 calories (26,5 grams of protein & 22,5 grams of fat).
I do it for two reasons:

- I keep my calory intake under 500 calories per day for a week,
- I do water fasting for a week,
On the days, when I keep my caloric intake under 500 calories per day, I usually eat 4 cooked eggs, which is around 329 calories (26,5 grams of protein & 22,5 grams of fat).
I do it for two reasons:
- although I do not consume enough protein per day, I consume some to try to minimalize muscle mass loss (although some researches have shown that you lose 1/4 of weight as muscle mass),
- eggs contain Biotin (also known as B7), the vitamin that plays role in supporting metabolism.
- I will burn around 1000 calories throughout each day by walking,
- I will do a HIIT workout every other day (excluding weekends).

feeling bloated in the middle of the night and in the morning
Good morning! so guys im having a weird bloat and want to find the cause. the thing is, this happens when sleeping late at night. i get extremely bloated in the lower abs. i do get a bit bloated after dinner, but not so intense.
additional info,
i eat the majority of calories late at night (2-3 hours before bed), it does contain a lot of veggies (2-4 servings depending on what i want that day. this is not counting regular potato or sweet potato, which i usually eat), peanut butter, peanuts and almond, bread and some protein with the veggies, it does contain a bit of sodium from a bit of salt and other stuff.
i do have a lot of stress and anxiety + sleep is not the best.
my biggest concern is why i mostly get messy bloated in the middle of the night (when waking up to urinate) and right in the morning and not that bad after eating?

KetoViante Philippines Weight Loss Pills is new similar to we said. Moreover, they are just the regular technique to lose muscle to fat ratio. Before long, the keto diet itself decreases the muscle to fat ratio, if you do it right. Be that as it may, an impressive number of individual don't love surrendering bread and pasta.

Calorie intake
So I am 42 yo, 6’2” 241 lbs
I work out every other day doing a full body workout. 4 different workouts headed by each of the big 4 (bp,OHP, squat and dL) Each workout has 4-5 exercises. No cardio. I have a job that requires me to get in about 10,000 steps a day but no physical labor.
I seem to have stalled my weight loss on 2600 calories a day. To lose weight again should I drop down to 2500 or find a way to increase activity?
2600 seems so low to be maintenance for 241 lbs that I don’t want to teach my body to maintain on even lower calories. Or is it pretty normal to maintain at 2600 calories at 241 lbs with my activity level?

I am looking for some "normal" healthy meals/ideas i can take with me to work that do not have to be heated up. I do not have any allergies, and I will pretty much eat anything.

How to eat during deload (cut v. bulk)
I have a deload week every ~6 weeks where I just take a full week off from lifting weights. Only stretching and body weight stuff for that week.
Currently cutting and what seems to work well is to up my calories to around maintenance level for the deload week. Come back to the gym feeling strong, and my muscles look fuller.
Will transition to bulking soon and wondering how I should approach the deload weeks. Drop down to maintenance? Keep it the same?
Also welcome any input on my cutting/deload approach if anybody has anything on that.

I need help!
Hello everyone ... I need an advice.
So, it's been several weeks since I've been around the same weight (74 / 75kg) and based on weight, every week I increased my diet by 100/150 calories. For example, this week I followed a 3500-calorie diet compared to 3400 last week. Now, I don't know what to do because weighing myself today I saw that I lost almost 1kg.
Either the scale is broken (despite is new) or there is something wrong with my diet. Also because when I measured myself, I saw that I gained several inches in different body parts. A possible mistake that I made in the diet is the fact that I eat so much at breakfast and lunch and then I have a very light dinner because like by 5 pm I have already reached almost all the macros. What do you guys think? And also this next week will be the last bulk week then I’ll start cutting.

Loss of appetite
Hello,
I’m 24 years old 97kg ~low BF% and I’m currently bulking trying to get up to 100kgs before a cut, I’ve gained 5kgs in the last month but now I’ve reached a plateau as I just cannot seem to eat. I’m never hungry I have to be mindful to eat and sometimes when I’m eating I find myself chewing the same bite 50 times with no inclination to swallow, sometimes I end up spitting it out because I feel like I’ll throw up if another bite goes down. This started about two weeks ago when I hit 97kgs. Does anyone know this problem and maybe how to fix or alleviate it?
Inb4:
My macros are roughly P275 C5-600 F100 aiming for 4000-4500kcals every day, this used to be easy but now it feels impossible.
I do fasted cardio in the mornings on average EOD, I commute with a bike and I lift weights 5-6 times a week.
My TDEE hovers around 4000kcals according to my smart watch.
No marijuana.

My TDEE hovers around 4000kcals according to my smart watch.
No marijuana.

16 year old, stuck in plateau.
I am 16 years old and have been training hard for about a year. I have always tried to keep a clean diet but there are always a couple times when I'll totally pig out, but it doesn't really affect me since I'm a super skinny guy. When I started training I weighed around 110lbs-115lbs (6% body fat) and after my year of training I was weighing in around 135lbs (5%). Sometimes the scale would go up and down, probably because of water, but I pretty much plateaued around there. I had had a plateau when I was around 126 lbs, and managed to bust through it. Not sure how. However, I'm trying my damn hardest eating upwards of 2500 to 2600 calories a day, tracking macros so I know I'm eating plenty of each macro nutrient (such as protein), and over the past few weeks the scale hasn't been going UP, but down. Just a recap, I started this year of training around 135. No matter what time of day I stepped on the scale, I would never dip below 135. However a couple weeks ago I started weighing in around 134.. skip to next week, 133. Skip again to this week, 132. I'm starting to get really worried that I'm losing gains but I'm not sure how. I'm doing everything right with the training and each respective muscle group is always sore the day after that workout but I give plenty of time for recovery. I always write my own workouts and they always work for me, so that's just what I continue to do (Always changing it up, of course). I used to be following a bro split (5 days on, 2 days off), but couldn't keep up and didn't have enough time for recovery. Since then I've changed my split to:
1- Chest + Bis
2- Legs + Short, intense cardio
(Rest)
3-Back and Tris
4- Shoulders + Core
(Rest on weekends)
I typically don't end up going on a strict schedule but I always stick to the "1,2,rest,3,4" if that makes sense. I get plenty of sleep and take melatonin every night. Even during school I'd be getting at least 8 hours of sleep a night. I always prioritize recovery, and don't think that's a problem. The weirdest thing is that I don't visually see any difference, and started tracking measurements along with my weight so I'm not relying on one number. What the hell is happening? I have somewhere from 4%-6% body fat so there's little to none of that to burn off. I've done all kinds of research about my training so I don't think that's a problem, but I've tried to find anything I can about how to break this plateau and NOTHING IS WORKING! Such frustration. There's probably a lot more variables that go into this, so if there are any kinds of questions please do ask.

Lost 10lbs in 1week....
So I have been in the hospital for 1 week and have been out for a few days now. During that time I lost 10 pounds , my diet was complete crap and have been off of creatine.
Prior I was working out 5-6 times a week consistently.
How long do you think it will take me to gain that weight back and see my gains?
I am 23 yo female and went from 145 to 135...

Should I bulk or cut? Also, what do you think of my meal plan?
Hey all, I'm still pretty new to this whole stuff
I'm 1.80m and currently at 82.5kg (dropped from 105.5 since November)
I'm doing Reg Park's 5x5 3-4 times a week (every second day) and sometimes jog (try to at least jog once a week for 6km)
now I was thinking about cutting a bit more, but I'm not sure (sadly can't post a picture or link as I'm new here)
also, is my mealplan for tomorrow okay? It's something I eat on a pretty regular basis, at least the breakfast is pretty much the same every day, I really like tomatoes (especially cherry tomatoes), the salad is without mozzarella normally, but I got some and I really like it
breakfast (423 cal): 250g quark, 30g whey, 40g oats
lunch (925 cal): salad, 100g vinegar, 20g honey, 125g mozzarella, 130g tuna, 100g turkey breast
workout
dinner (583 cal): 300g chicken breast, 50g rice, 400g green beans
snack (143 cal): 500g tomatoes, 14g EAA powder + 5g creatine
sum: 2074 cal, 180g carbs, 239g protein, 37g fats

Spare calories: 80/20 or IIFYM?
I'm at 2700~ calories right now (all clean and unprocessed food, with the exception of a chocolate/pineapple flavored protein yoghurt in the morning for 200~ calories) and I'll need about 200 more to hit my target intake.
Would there be any problems with me going for 2 servings (60g) of Nestle Cookie Crisp cereals every evening to hit that goal? I've heard of the 80/20 rule and IIFYM, but also insulin spikes and refined/unrefined carbs, so I'm wondering what the opinions of nutrition experts are.
PS: I already have oats in the morning, I'm just looking for something else in the evening to ease the taste buds and hit my spare carbs.

Too much natural sugar from yogurt?
Hello there,
I've been regularly consuming about 8 fat free yogurts per day, as I'm low on time and it's a good way to help me get to my 3200 kcal a day!
However, I noticed on the pot that it does actually contain about 7.3g of sugar per pot (naturally occuring, not added).
Is this probably too much sugar?
Thanks

Why does the nutritional value vary greatly between brands of an equivalent product?
Really trying to figure out why nutritional values can vary so greatly between brands of basically the same product. I eat tilapia as it has a great protein to fat ratio which makes it great for cutting. To compare the two options found at my grocery store, there is Great American Seafood Tilapia Fillets and Coleson's Catch Tilapia Fillets. Both are frozen and have the same ingredients: tilapia and CO (for color retention). They are right next to each other on the shelf. Great American Seafood has 140 Cal for a 4oz serving consisting of 2g of fat and 29g protein while Coleson's Catch has 100 cal for a 4oz serving consisting of 2.5g of fat and 20g protein. How can the same 4oz have a 37% difference in protein value? Is one more optimistic or realistic than the other? I just want to make sure I'm counting my macros correctly.

17 years old, completely lost
17 years old, 180lb/82kg, hitting the gym three times a week trying to build muscle.
I started the gym around January. I've definitely made some gains but I feel like I should of made much more with the amount of effort I'm putting in while I'm there. I'm not eating correctly. I know that. I'm overweight, but I haven't been losing weight, so I can't be in a deficit.
I don't know what to eat. I live with my mother who is a single parent and she doesn't have a lot of money to be buying the stuff for all these complex meals like salmon and pepper and avocado which really demotivates me. I'm also really fussy, and the only veg I like is potatoes, sweetcorn and occasionally cauliflour.
I know you have to bulk eat and be in a surplus to build muscle, but what type of calories should I be eating? Calories from meat, sugary foods/drinks? I'm also very scared to go into a surplus because I know I'm already overweight and I really don't want to gain anymore fat, I'm at a 'slim fat' build at the moment which I'll take over being completely overweight any day.
If I've been building muscle already without eating properly, does that mean I'm in a surplus due to my eating patterns anyway? If so, should I simply eat a little more to encourage my muscles to grow more?(I feel like I should of made bigger gains with the intensity and what I've been lifting, so if I haven't does that simply mean I haven't had a big enough surplus?)
My goal is to build muscle(abs, arms, legs, shoulders etc) so I can feel more confident and better about myself. Eating right is the one thing I'm really struggling on and I think you guys might be able to help. Thanks in advance!

Recently started intermittent fasting, water gain+ carbs question
Hey folks
I read the sticky’s and I’ll try to make a post that isn’t wasting anyone’s time
So a tiny bit of background
I have been weight lifting for about a year, most of which was spent cutting
My goal is to for now get to at least 15 % bodyfat and possibly lower then to bulk then cut then bulk without ever gaining those love handles again
Daily I eat 2000 calories, 2000-3000mg salt, high cheese, i eat a lot of chicken fried in olive oil and tuna. 1-3 veggies day
Started at 93kg now around 76kg I lowered my calories to 1950 from 2000 very recently
2000 calories
185g Protein
122g Carbs (mostly complex)
73g Fat
((THE QUESTION ITSELF)):
I recently noticed I have been retaining water since starting INtermittent fasting 1 week ago...
At 3 pm my feeding window starts I have a can of tuna or other lean protein
Then at 6/6:30 I eat a very large meal, around 1300-1500 calories fairly high in cheese meat, oil and carbs (most of my carbs for the day) then before bed at 11/12 I have 2 scoops of casein
Will eating almost all of the carbs on my rest days in one meal cause me problems? Should I space them out
And also; why have I stated gaining water wEight, is my body just getting used to Intermittent fasting?
Bonus: Any changes I should make? Am I going the right direction for my goals to become reality?
Thanks for the help.
