>like food
>hate exercise
>whatever
>>27757563
Eh I settle with it. I wanna eat whatever, and for some fucking reason I can never gain muscle or lose enough fat (to look good) from eating well.
>calling that a gut
What is this a you laugh you lose thread?
Pic related is an accurate depiction of me
>>27757563
Gotta make sure you're counting calories. It doesn't matter how clean you eat if you don't have a calorie deficit. It's also not a fast process even when you do start hitting a regular 10-20% deficit; give it a couple months.
>>27757621
I will never ever let myself get that bad. Like literally how the hell...
>>27757631
This. it takes a while and you must be CONSISTENT.
>>27757649
faggot that's how men look like
>>27757631
>tfw bowl of cornflakes, ham sandwich and Big Tasty medium meal
>tfw 1875 calories
I don't know where the "eat salad to lose weight " meme comes from
skinny fat reporting in. i''m some how 122 and have a gut. most of the fat is in the gut but can leg press more my weight
>>27757680
That's what lazy men with low self control look like.
>>27757683
A lot of people won't be full all day long from that. What's more, you're getting shit amounts of essential micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, etc.) so even if you sustain a technjcally healthy weight that way, you're really not metabolically healthy.
>>27757683
Greens keep you fuller longer. "empty calories" comes from foods that give you lots of calories yet keep you wanting more food later. Lighter colored greens are shit. Dark greens are where it's at.
You also have to find out what your daily caloric rate should be and eat at a deficit so you can lose weight.
Who /stretch marks/
>been eating healthy-ish without being a calorie-counting autist and exercising 4 days a week for a year
>still don't look like one of the pretty boys in the magazines
>tfw you eat whenever you're bored
>tfw 240lbs of fat
>>27757784
I'm 25 and have had stretch marks since I was 10 even though I've lost the weight. Sucks man, looks like something went along the bottom of my stomach and stabbed me a dozen times
>>27757621
B-bara
>>27757798
Replace those snacks with celery, carrots, and cauliflower. I guarantee you you'll get full on fewer calories. That change alone will put you on the right track to start losing weight.
>>27757784
me
sucks because it's not like I don't exercise a lot, it's just that food is one of the only things that makes me happy because I'm /nofriends/ and never leave my house so I put on a lot of weight once I graduated and didn't have to leave my house anymore
I've been counting calories for the last month and a half or so and I've lost some weight, though.
>>27757786
because you're not calorie counting, obviously. healthy-ish isn't enough.
How do I know how much calories I need to eat to be at a calorie deficit?
>>27757786
>eating healthy-ish
That really doesn't cut it. Try and drop carbs from your diet entirely, even if you do that w/o exercising you'll lose weight.
>>27757533
Beer belly keeps growing cause i don't do anything but get home from work, sit down at PC and start drinking.
Don't really care though because no life.
>>27757756
>>27757760
It's true the one problem is that it's less filling, so I do aim to cook most of the time because rice is more filling than french fries but officially I have no rule whatsoever on what I eat.
>even if you sustain a technjcally healthy weight that way, you're really not metabolically healthy.
Yep i'm aware of this but one thing at a time, I think that people trying to eat less AND be healthy is why a lot of people give up.
>tfw that Big Tasty had 96% saturated fat
>>27757812
My go-to bored food these days is bananas and almonds.
Now that I have to pay for my own food again I'm less enthusiastic about wasting it on junk. I usually only buy what I need and not much else.
>>27757819
This. If you eat 5000 calories of all vegetables, and your TDEE is 3000 calories, you're still going to get fat. Calories-in, calories-out is the fundamental idea that ultimately determines how your weight loss or gain pans out.
>>27757813
You have to replace food with something else. Like friends.
>>27757812
Fuck vegetables, bland as shit. At least tell the guy to eat fruit.
>>27757877
>/r9k/
>friends
Well we're all fucked.
>>27757877
Therefore, stop eating McDonalds and start making new friends. So you can eat them.

>pig out as a result, gain back a lot of the weight I lost within the first week of being back
ayy lmao
I didn't lose a ton of weight anyway tho maybe 10lbs max. desu I probably don't have that much of a gut
>>27757615
Because you have a shitty hormonal profile
>>27757859
Fruits and nuts certainly aren't bad options, but they're more calorie-dense than veggies; the bananas especially have complex carbs that, while good for you, should only be had in moderation, otherwise they'll spike the fuck out of your insulin and cause fat storage.
>all these fatties
JUST STOP EATING
>>27757868
>Cycled 40 miles 3 days a week
>Ate nothing but rice, grilled chicken and fruit
>Gained weight
How people find it hard to gain weight I'll never understand.
>>27757887
The more you eat them the more you get used to the taste. Also, make some banging ass veg smoothies with fruit juice added to them. Recipies everywhere. This is what I'm gonna start doing now. Easier to eat veggies when you can just swallow them like juice.
>>27757887
Fruits should be had in moderation; it's almost impossible to eat too many veggies.
>>27757925
>>27757927
Nope sorry it's like eating cardboard. Add into the fact that you have to peel and cook it every time I bought it I just left them to rot in the fridge. I love fruit but vegetables no.
>>27757927
Yeah you're right you have to be careful with exotic fruit like mango and pineapple. Lots of sugar.
>>27757563
>want to start running but scared of people looking at me and stuff
>>27757910
Yeah, I know I can do much better, but at least I'm not 400 pounds. I will someday. especially when I take up kickboxing again.
>>27757920
You need to figure out your TDEE, set an exact calorie deficit based on it (10-20% is optimal) and perhaps consider going low-carb (i.e. no rice and minimal fruits). If you don't know your exact numbers, you can't figure out where the problem is nearly as easily.
>>27757831
>google same
>see this
Dietbots is this accurate?
>>27758000
>calorie deficit isn't a percentage
Trash. Use this site instead; you can make a diet with it, figure out your caloric needs, or both.
http://www.custommealplanner.com/
>>27757967
but when you mix fruit with veggies in the proper ratios then the entire smoothie tastes better. that's why you add fruit juice. try it just once.
>>27757990
Yeah i know that now.
low carb is expensive
>>27758000
seems a bit much
>>27757819
Are you for fucking real, mate?
Not even taking into account being busy as fuck, it's such a ridiculous concept. You're really expecting a person to check on a scale how many grams of each ingredient of each meal they're eating at any day and THEN investigate the macros and KJ on each of them and THEN keep track of each and every one until your daily quota's covered? Not even thinking of the meals that can't be controlled, those you don't know what they're made of. That stew from the college cafeteria? The time you had to eat at a restaurant? You're expecting someone to know from a look how many calories whatever you're eating has or carry around a little scale and then slowly measure every tiny itty bitty piece?
The concept is absolutely nonsensical. Counting calories is something I'd imagine Chris-chan doing.
>>27758038
You can make it affordable if you eat meals that are a bit more on the boring side (lots of grilled chicken, broccoli, flax seed, non-fat Greek yogurt, etc.). Small price to pay for a better body imo. I feel your pain, though. I'm still struggling to lose my last bit of belly fat too. Been a years-long battle.
>>27758051
No one said it was gonna be easy, m80. You either do it or you don't get results. There are also apps (My Fitness Pal, namely) that make it easier to keep track of.
>>27758029
I need 2400 calories to maintain my weight? Why am i sucking at losing it? Fucking binge eating man.
>>27758029
Says if I were a 70kg woman I'd need 1900 calories to maintain my weight. How the fuck to women manage to stay thin?
>>27758093
Trust me, I know how you feel. Binge eating is very easy to do, and the amount of calories you waste up can be immense. That's why it's vital to be very strict on your diet if you're trying to get substantial results.
>>27758090
Tried MFP, same problem. Discarding the minor bother of registering every tiny detail which is just a matter of getting used to it, it won't be an accurate measure.
How do I know the counts for their chicken soup is the same as my chicken soup? If their soup has rice or carrots it will be a different calorie count from mine which has peas and avocado and mushrooms.
The only way calorie counting would seem possible to me would be to prep every single meal in a tupperware down to the gram and that's just not viable.
>>27758051
I think you're examples are a little unrealistic, but plenty of people do it. If I were to embark on this, I'd spend a day or an evening pre-cooking everything so I have it ready during the week. Make the same 3 meals every week. Change it up every once in a while. This is what I already do, but I'm not health conscious about yet.
>>27758229
Why not? I'm a full-time med student and I do that every single day.
>>27758229
>The only way calorie counting would seem possible to me would be to prep every single meal in a tupperware down to the gram and that's just not viable.
Why not? That's the best, most efficient way. This is what The Rock does. It's all about meal prep.
>>27758229
>Not cooking a dinner and dividing up portions for the following few days at a time.
>>27758281
Engineering here. Barely getting by.
>>27758331
Because life is unexpected and can't be controlled down to a T. Closest thing to a consistent meal I get is 2 cans of tuna and a bunch of nuts twice per week. Probably gonna die of mercury poisoning some day but meh.
Apart from that, you never know what you'll have time to cook for breakfast or what mom made/got for dinner and then you're back at the problem of not knowing how much of what is in it.
>>27758229
>and that's just not viable.
people do that every day
>>27757533
I used to run, swim, and eat good. But then it gets psychologically tiring, because i did it for people's attention and girls' admiration, not because i enjoy the activities. There is no single activities that i enjoy.
>>27758471
No, it can't. But you can still control most of it if you want to.
But I'm not here to convince you to do anything.
>mfw I cheat the system and save on groceries by eating nothing and drinking water and taking a multivitamin
>>27758471
Tell mom/whoever occasionally gets you food "Hey, I'm gonna go on a pretty strict diet. I'm gonna make my own meals. I'm gonna allow myself one, maybe two controlled cheat meals per week, so I'd appreciate it if you could be supportive of me while I do this." Easy as that. Then when you wanna make your meals, sacrifice 30 minutes to an hour of your night to prepare meals for the week. Long-term you'll actually find you save yourself a lot of time by doing this in addition to it being healthier.
>>27758528
That's asking for cancer and malnutrition in general.

>>27758553
Tried, reverts back to whatever's the family meal that night after a week or two. And when you come home from a long day in classes and training it's either mom's spaghetti and meatballs or no eating that day. "Sorry ma, I only eat grilled chicken breasts with broccoli now." One just can't do that. Even asking for my part of the food budget to cook didn't work because they'd keep buying for everyone and it's a damn shame to see food go to waste.
Can't wait till I get my own place to cook all my own meals and then maybe I'll see some change.
>>27758659
I feel you, man. I really do. I guess until then just do 30-45 minutes of cardio every day/whenever you can, and try your damnedest to control your portions.
>>27758659
Wut is that soup in that pic?
>>27758528
>mfw I absorb nutrients through photosynthesis.
>>27758786
Looks to be a simple Udon Miso soup with chopped green onion, carrots, mushrooms, and snow peas.
>>27758705

this seems to be an inherent trait in moms. Mine would buy lots of food, more than we could eat even when I wasn't trying to eat less. Then we wouldn't finish leftovers and she'd complain about having to throw food away. But every single night she'd be in the kitchen making something new, even if there were two days of leftovers in the fridge. Telling her to buy less food produced either a "what the fuck are you even talking about" look, or a bunch of reasons why she couldn't ("I can't make only three of these because X only comes in packages of four", "I needed to buy all this Y to make a Z", etc) I asked her many times to stop making huge dinners every single night, and she flat-out refused.
>>27759264
IF helps, but you gotta watch your calories at least a little bit with it.
Who here /doesntmind/ anymore? I sort of like my gut since I've had it forever.
>>27757784
this is the only struggle. : ^(
