Just downloaded MyFitnessPal app.
Seriously a big eye opener on food intake n on the nutrients part.

Calculated my breakfast this morning n the usual weekend starbucks venti green tea latte sessions =
a. Long way to go for protein intake. Achieved about 10%
b. Carbs already at 95% achieved for today (Omgggg)
c. Sugar already at 200%
d. Barely even 2% for fiber.

I am so screwed haha
Long way to go to fine tune my food intake to lose weight

Need to cut down on pastries, sugar food n taking big portions of mixed rice d.

Doesnt necessarily hv to be organic stuff all the time..just study the correct portion of everything u eat. U may enjoy all your regular food, but know their calorie first. Hehe

Quite hard especially in malaysia. And if u go over ur calorie limit, just hit the gym. Lol

Malaysian food are very high in calories LOL there goes my cutting.... shakehead.gif

I been taking of taking casein and protein powder as a form of cutting since casein and protein powder has high protein content and low calorie values. What if i add oats and eat it as a meal replacement? Use those to fuel the gym workouts by adding oats...

Do you guys think it is good?

Not sure if this is the right way.....

not sure of pre workout..but i read somewhere if u mix whey + oat, can help in slowing down digestion during sleep.

I know oats are complex carbs. It will slow down the digestion of the carbs only not the protein.

no offence but this is a discussion thread...yeah sure, we want to get answers straight forward and not waste time... of course we also do our own reading...

I mean whats the point of putting down others when they ask for some advise? If you cannot do so, I am sure some kind soul will be willing to share information when asked....there is no need to express your dissatisfaction bro...just my 2 cents

fair enough...but if one wants to educate themselves, reading and understanding the basic is important. anyone can come and give a one liner, that would make no sense, right.

Many seniors here had put up so much time in writing those invaluable material, hence for knowledge seekers, if they dont have the courtesy to read it thru first before asking, is not going to make them educated/informed. And at times, the same question being asked a million times...

Nothing against you...just stating the obvious...may of us, had stop writing...things like this goes unappreciated..

anyways, lime/lemon has nothing to offer as the main property to reduce fat
*
aight. not sure if it helps but I do a notice a slight weight loss when I drank lemon water in the morning daily. That time I wasnt active at all to do any cardio or weights training.

I also drank green tea that are rich in anti-oxidants to reduce weight.

Daily weight measurement are not indicative enough, long term measurements says the true story. Was your activity level and diet intake constant before and after? Thus far there is no medical research that claims. No doubt lime/lemon are known for its benefits n digestive system, inflammation, reducing fluid retention, improves blood vessel functions, cold/flu, etc.

As an secondary effect, too much of lime/lemon fluid could drastically reduce your water retention hence, one would see their weight fluctuations, at times, people wrongly think they had reduced their weight, instead your body water weight had reduced
*
no wonder... now it makes sense. hahaha the weight loss was temporary and it bounced back when I stopped drinking.

Been losing 0.5kg steadily every week for the past 2.5 months. Still have probably another 2 months to go until I achieve my dream body smile.gif

Some tips and advice:

- Check your BMR + TOTAL ENERGY EXPENDITURE
- Download MyFitnessPal to track your calories intake
- I go to gym 4 times a week; doing HIIT at least once a week
- Always go for whole food if you can
- No fastfood and avoid fried food
- Try to move around more during working. In one day you probably only burn 50-100 calories but in one month it is a lot.

I think for me I would like to have a lean body first then slowly build up my muscle with clean bulk. So when my bulk starting to result in higher bodyfat percentage, I will cut it back for one month and then continue to bulk again. It is just my preference bro.

When you bulk first, most of the time it is hard enough to get rid all the fat later on. It is mentally exhausting though.

I see... whats your skeletal muscle percentage? and bf %?
