There's no way this is accurate, right? I'm assuming the portions the workers give you in reality is way higher than the amounts that are accounted for here
Samuel Russell
if it's just a one-off I wouldn't worry too much about it if you eat there every single day then it might skew your numbers a tad (but that'd be the least of your concerns...)
Gabriel Lopez
>meat (assuming pork) >rice >beans >cheese >salsa
None of those ingredients are particularly calorie dense besides the cheese, I'd be surprised if it was over 700cal (assuming it's not fucking massive, never been to chipotle so idk)
I've heard chipotle is decently accurate with their calorie counting, so honestly I wouldn't doubt it, maybe a bit more but not enough to make a massive difference unless your having it every day.

So I am planning to have a candy bar at Halloween - not sure if it will be Twix Peanut Butter or a Kit Kat yet, and I still have lots of time to decide However while in the checkout line I figured I’d just look at the nutrition facts for the regular flavor of Twix for a rough idea and I was fucking shocked: The king sized packs are 440 Calories - no wonder I was such a fatass for so long, I could eat 2 of those packs a day before I started actually watching what I ate
Jason Garcia
Recently graduated /fat/ but I still browse for motivation and now I'm actually on a bulk.
Those are some damn good macros with the chicken.

Here, shirt is also a size smaller if that gives more context. Still got 25 or so pounds to go.
aim for 145-150lbs as ur goal weight, try to lose 2 pounds/a kilo a week.
Ryder Nelson
Well, let's get you to 70kg ASAP and see where to go from there. Eat 1000 calories a day and you'll be 70kg roundabout November 1st.
Alternatively you could eat 1500 a day and be at 70kg right after Christmas.
Hudson Johnson
>1000 calories a day for a adult male? How the fuck am I supposed to lift on that?
Dylan Rodriguez
Scale said 170.6, 5.6 lbs from my goal weight.
My brother took me bowling, had me join his team in league, my highest score was 132, his was 204 or something. His total of 3 games nearly doubled mine. League lasts 30 weeks so I have a lot of time to get better.

Is building muscle before losing weight bad?
Does muscle add extra skin as well? Like lets say I build 20 pounds of muscle under the fat I have and then decide to lose weight, I end up with excess skin and have no way to lose it because I can't gain muscle. Does this happen? Should I focus on losing weight while gaining muscle or lose weight first and then gain muscle.
Thanks.
Zachary Rodriguez
It's possible, just very hard. I did offer an alternative though because I do realize that 1500 is much more doable. If you're actively lifting and exercising you'll finish earlier than those, but my numbers are based on you working in an office and then going home to shitpost on Jow Forums.
You could also fast until October 7th, but that's probably hard.
Dylan Cox
I'm mostly sit around, but I'm not entirely sedentary. I spend nearly an hour walking to school and back, plus working out 3 times a week heavy and one lighter work out
Ethan Lee
just fuck my sleep schedule up
bright side, it'll be dinner time as soon as I wake up.
Evan Davis
Then you'll be fine m8. Go with whichever works for you. I wasn't actually accusing you of being a lazy shit, but it's the assumption you should make when trying to lose weight because it means that any actual exercise you do goes entirely towards reaching your goals faster, and it means that if you want to just sit around you're not punished for it with slower progress.
Michael Ward
The goal isn't to lose weight, it's to lose fat. Muscles are part of your weight, but they're not the problem. The problem is that too much of your weight is fat. The idea is to lose fat mass while gaining muscle mass. If you do a caloric deficit and lose weight, you will naturally lose both. However, if you are lifting, you ought to gain muscle mass at the same rate you lost it, so you'll break even on muscle mass and lose fat. >can't gain muscle Why not?
Cooper Ortiz
I'm 5'8" at 175 and still want to cut down to at least 160
Anthony James
I meant that its harder to gain muscle if you have a lot of muscle already.
My question was because I read that to fix excess skin, you need to gain muscle, so I'm scared of stretching my skin with both muscle and fat before I lose weight.
I'm wondering if losing weight first and gaining muscle second is better than doing both at the same time.
Lucas Jenkins
If you have a substantial amount of muscle then you can be lean at that weight. Otherwise, you'd still be slightly overweight. You could try to get a bit below that and then start lifting, unless you already lift in which case just get around there and focus on building muscle
>I meant that its harder to gain muscle if you have a lot of muscle already. literally never heard of this >My question was because I read that to fix excess skin, you need to gain muscle Depends on how long you've been fat for, really >so I'm scared of stretching my skin with both muscle and fat before I lose weight. Did you not read the part about gaining muscle at the same rate you lose it? It's literally a net change of 0. >I'm wondering if losing weight first and gaining muscle second is better than doing both at the same time. It's literally easier to do both. Just eat less and lift more.
Benjamin Reyes
5'6 male 165lbs 3 weeks ago. Did keto for 3 weeks weighed in at 144 this morning. Broke keto earlier today and had a bowl of cereal for lunch and pb&j sandwhich for dinner, just weighed in at 148 ... did I goof bros?
20th of march, I was 80 days in by then willing to bet I'm the last NYRfag around
Ryan Williams
They will never return. Follow Scooby's final piece of wisdom and acknowledge that most people won't make it.
Austin Harris
Ok
Aaron Cox
I guess. When I was piling on the fat I knew 100% that I should stop and it was going to kill me, no amount of others or myself telling myself too made me stop and listen so I shouldn't be surprised. It sucks though.
Brayden Mitchell
Should I cut back progression on my lifts If I'm doing a heavy cut? Thinking of alternating squats and deadlifts on SS instead of doing them on the same day and doing front squats/rdls as a secondary exercise each day instead
Hunter Lewis
>enjoying running every morning >dont have time to lift if i run what do
Josiah Martinez
Lift
Benjamin Jackson
>Broke keto earlier today and had a bowl of cereal for lunch and pb&j sandwhich for dinner why even bother breaking keto for that?
Gavin Thomas
Felt a level of fatigue and tiredness I never felt before. Plus I had no homemade meals with me and I was at work. Went with the healthiest possible option at the time and had cereal.
Xavier Brown
Weight's been trending down for a few months now, only just started thinking about taking it more seriously though. Probably will get a gym membership soon, but what are some good bodyweight exercises? Been doing pushups for about a fortnight and it's amazing how quickly my form has improved.
Hudson Wilson
That explains it, thought you might have been craving some babby sugar cereal or some shit
Kayden Price
is it possible to half-ass keto and still lose weight? like instead of 50g of carbs per day you do like 150g?
Alexander Wright
Should I binge today I had the flu for three days and I barely ate
Joseph Hernandez
Anyways, debating on whether or not I want to continue keto. I'm pretty much at my target weight 140-149, only problem is I'm still fat lul, just lighter. Don't really like to eat any food on keto so I'll settle for a burger/cheese/bacon with no buns and a protein shake before bed. Only problem is this leaves me with little energy for my workouts, while I can workout much more with carbs, but I'll burn fat at a slower weight lol. What would you recommend?
Jayden Barnes
No. No matter the circumstances. Doesn't matter though, you'll binge regardless because you've already made the cowardly decision in your mind.
Lucas Perez
Keto is 0-20 carbs per day. Any more than 20 and you aren't doing keto.
Not too sure. I am still new to this considering that I only started 3 weeks ago. I imagine cutting carbs would always help you lose weight, but if you aren't in ketosis idk if increasing your fat intake would help. But like I said, I'm just a retard so I'd wait for someone more knowledgeable to respond.
Cooper Phillips
What are you eating when you diet?
Julian Gray
I just like popcorn too much m8 I've cut carbs out of nearly the entirety of the rest of my diet (wife keeps trying to get me to eat rice dishes though)
Christian Reyes
Stop going on a diet, and change your mindset. You're not going to go on a diet, drop your weight and return to eating cheese and tendies. Its a lifestyle change.
Don't do meme diets. You're eating healthy from now on and thats never going to change. You need to learn that food keeps you alive and can be the odd treat, its not the source of your happiness. If you can't get over that, you're never going to make it. There is a very good reason why diets are laughed at, and why they so rarely work.
the fact that you think that's what I was saying just shows you're the true brainlet m8
Dylan Turner
>5'11 >320lbs >week 2 Am I going to make it bros? I am starting to crave carbs
Adam Taylor
found a really great thing. you know how your body turns calories into fat and you get undesirable excess fat if you eat too much? and you know how eating is physically pleasurable and you can overeat to extremity in a relatively short amount of time just because you're impulsive and maybe upset emotionally?
well if you do that and immediately regret it, you can PHYSICALLY REMOVE THE FOOD FROM YOUR BODY before it begins to digest! all you need is a toothbrush to agitate your gag reflex and coax it out of there. simple and fun!

No! Don't do it! You have so much to lift for!
Ryan Fisher
Understand you need to learn to reflexively keep track of your calorie intake. You have to be super anal and record everything but at least keep mental track of all youve eaten that day and the ballpark the calories you consumed.
You're gonna have to do it the rest of your life if you don't want to balloon back up after you lose weight
Isaac Nelson

Jason Walker
Why is this guy sneering at me and why does his chest look like he fell asleep on a hot plate
Been cheating the past two weeks. Haven't gone up at all but that's a potential 2 kilo loss down the drain. I'm at a point where I've been at this for so long that I have to finish what I started and fully fix myself. I have no regrets, this is the only path.
Am i dysmorphic? >be a chubby kid >get bullied every day because of it >get made fun of by chad dad >start hating self because of it >fast foward, now living away from family >lifting regularly for 7 months >got really depressed and started fasting too >uncle said i lost a lot of weight, but also that i wasn't fat before >gf is worried because i lost a lot of weight quickly >co-worker said that I'll disappear if i lose more weight >long time friend said i was really skinny But i honestly don't think it's true, when i look at the mirror i still look like shit. Am i being told baloney by gullible people or am actually skinny and can't notice it? I'm 174 cm (5.71) and i weight 72 kg (158)
Really? I heard that you should aim for 1lb/500g a week, which is around where I'm at
Daniel Jones
Those, quite frankly, are rookie numbers. Those are the numbers meant for forty year old housewives. You can very comfortably lose double that even at lower weights. At higher weights, you can lose triple and beyond without causing any negative effect to your body.
Jace Cook
While still lifting heavy?
Josiah James
While it's true those are rookie numbers, it serves the purpose of forming habits. If most fatties had the willpower to immediately got 1000 or more calories and eat healthy, they wouldn't have been fat in the first place, and I'm including myself in this because donuts are still my kryptonite, 90 pounds later. If you yourself have the willpower to cut harder than 500 calories and keep it up, then by all means do so and keep on truckin. I personally can't push it much further than 500, but at the same time, I've used the longer time it took me to cut alot of bad shit out of my diet and find healthier, enjoyable alternatives. Donuts aside.
Brody Wright
Sup fat, former obese transitioning into DYEL Here's 3.5 months of progress from 250 to 204, 20 ish more pounds to go Never under appreciate your back :^(
Dude I'm not lying. Straight up a literal fucking P O U N D of Boar's Head turkey breast is under 500 calories.
Completely fucking serious you can literally eat three pounds of Boar's Head roasted turkey and be under 1500calories a day.
If you think a little bowl of meat,rice,beans,cheese and salsa being ~600 is unrealistic you gotta consider the fact that calories are actually not that abundant in good food and that's why soda and shit is so bad. It's so dense in calories vs actual food it's ridiculous.
Like would you rather be able to eat 3lbs of turkey a day or drink a bottle of coke? Meat is great.
