It's more like his lower back flexibility? Or his hip flexibility? IDK, whatever it is. It's really terrible. | ||

see above my post Age: 26 || Height: 6'0" or m/cm || Weight: 270lb Starting Date: 01 January 2013 || Goal Date: 20 September 2013 Weight goals -- 200ish Training goals -- I don't know what this means Nutrition goals -- not shitastical Sleep goals -- more than 6 hours So I'm late, whatever, fuck it. As of this post I am between 218 and 222 per day. I did a keto diet through 14 April and I started CrossFit on 02 April. At the end of March I was holding 230lb and unable to drop. Since starting CrossFit I've obviously lost about 10lb. I also started adding carbs back into my diet, but I'm still sugar-free (for the most part). I've also started drinking again which is cool (but only vodka/rum/whiskey/scotch, no beer, never liked beer but that's not really for this post; in fact I've just come off lunch [I'm at work (I work for Russians)] which consisted of chicken and vodka [5 shots woooooooooo]). Something something crossfit. My goal is to complete Tough Mudder South West with a bunch of the TL EVE guys in September. CrossFit is murdering me atm and I currently have skinned knees from doing a billion pushups on Thursday cause I can't do a real pushup for the life of me, nevertheless diamond and deficit pushups (which the warmup consisted of). I need to be able to carry a log and stand up to 10k volts by September and I think I'm on a good trajectory for that. | ||

I've recently started running/walking every day, and making a conscious effort to shape up my diet. However, I'm not much of a buff on nutrition, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong, really. So generally what I'm doing in the morning is a base food (either half a bagel with peanut butter, or oatmeal or something), a glass of 1/2% milk and a banana (or some type of fruit). I haven't really eaten breakfast more than maybe 1 day a week since grade school, so this is just something that sounded healthy instead of a bowl of total or something. After my morning run, which is about an hour after I eat (about 35-40 mins of brisk walk and then 5 or so mins of running; still building up endurance to be able to run the entire time), I have a smoothie made out of about 1/4 cup greek yogurt, 1/2 cup milk, a splash of fruit juice and a handful of strawberries and a banana with a tbl spoon of protein powder. I generally go to work a bit after my workout and I stay there most of the day. I'm not generally getting lunch except on the rare days off. For dinner I'm usually pretty free form, I generally switch between a small burrito (made with turkey burger), chicken salad, a sandwich (sub) or some type of soup with bread. At dinner time I look at my calorie chart and, usually, I've only consumed something like 750 or so calories, while I've burned 400 or so working out, so I try to have a decent sized dinner, but it usually ends up being around 600 calories or something. Most days I end with around 1300-1400 calories consumed with around 400 calories burned, so I'm taking in 1000 calories or less. I'm a 6 foot tall, 240 lb male, and apparently the recommended daily calorie intake would be something like ~2550 calories a day (or ~2100 if you're trying to lose weight), but I'm consuming significantly less. Is this going to start effecting me negatively? I'm usually pretty tired, but I was when I was getting significantly more calories too. I want to get some of the weight off, but I don't want to negatively effect myself by adhering to the wrong sort of eating habits. Looking at my nutrient chart, It's looking like my diet consists of something like ~60-65% carbs. Is this a problem? It seems like a lot. I'm on a low budget so I can't really afford to eat wonderfully with a ton of fresh produce and whatnot (it's pretty sad how expensive anything in the produce isle is compared to all the convenience foods), but I really would like to have a healthy diet, and I'm not sure if what I'm eating is. Thanks | ||

Also, subtract fiber from carbs to get net carbs, which is what you want to track. | ||

Healthier foods are more expensive but you'll find that they are also more filling, and you'll end up spending about the same amount (or even less :O) on groceries when you buy healthy because you won't be buying as much. Also, subtract fiber from carbs to get net carbs, which is what you want to track. Most people will feel like absolute shit on such low carbs, especially if it's done suddenly. Not everyone runs well on ketosis, and no one runs well on ketosis if they're not prepared for it, and specifically trying to get into it. And I call BS on spending less on healthy food. Counting Calories has its place. Someone who's been overweight (or underweight) for years is not going to have the same sensitivity to their own regulatory systems, and is not going to be able to eat the right amount just by going on feeling. For anyone who is new to working out, it's probably very useful to count your calories for 2-3 months, at which point you'll start to get a better "feel" for how much food is the right amount. Then as you gain or lose a significant amount of weight, you can just do 1-2 week bursts to reevaluate. Just because something works for you, doesn't mean it works for everyone. | ||

So, do you have any reccomendations for numbers? Am I going too low on total caloric intake for the day, and Am I consuming too many carbs? | ||

I would say you're going too low on calories. I would up calories to 2000 and from there monitor weightloss/gain for a few weeks and then adjust from there. If you're consuming 1400 calories a day and 2/3 of them are coming from carbs that would mean that if you ingest no protein (which you do) your total fat intake for a day would be a maximum of 55 grams of fat. That is too low imo. If you dont weight train I would recommend 70-75 grams of fat a day and then ~15% of your total calories should come from protein. Then you can fill up with carbs for the rest. It does not have to be expensive to eat healthy. I have a budget that is under 10$ a day and I eat vegs/meat/generally healthy every day. Maybe the prices are different in the states. | ||

Run 3 times a week, gym 3/4 and soccer practice I'm in this constant state of hunger and I'm constantly eating and eating. It's really bothering me because I don't want to get fat. I'm aiming to gain 20/24 lb's in a year but I gained too much the past weeks. | ||

I said 65% seems like way too much to me and then didn't comment on it because obviously I am not in a position to. If you get 20% from protein and 15% from fats you have 65% for carbs; doesn't seem that bad when bulking imo. | ||

Agreed. Pressing is nice to do in the squat rack but it can be done elsewhere as well. Deadlifting can really be done anywhere. On another note. My max for pull ups was 10 today, hurray. I've been ''greasing the groove'' and it is working wonders. A week ago I could only do 3*5. Now I did 1*10/1*8/1*6. | ||
