I don't track anything but I know my fats are way higher than protein is. I have been checking my weight every morning (past 2-3 weeks) and I usually drop 2lbs a day stall on Thursday morning then drop the rest before Saturday. Even if I'm the same or higher in weight I just go threw with the CN like any other week.
Great info guys! Glad I'm not the only one. Just wanted to make sure it was normal. How do you guys keep fats so high? What are your goto sources of fat? I love my cheese but have been cutting down on it. I use coconut oil in morning coffee and heavy cream in my mid day coffee too. For dinner if I have a burger I'll put some cheese on but other than that, that's it. Granted I use 80/20 beef.How soon should I hop over to CBL? I know the ebooks on sale so I'm gonna buy it. Maybe do 2/3 backloads a week or something? I'm petrified to gain fat and not quote sure I'm lean enough yet...
Stick to CNS and track what is needed. Increase butter and CO consumption. Dig into fatty meats like beef sausage and Bacon.

I eat 80/20 beef and bacon almost everyday haha. I mentioned that in my meal plan on my original post. I added another tbsp of coconut oil in my coffee this morning. Gonna try to add some more fat throughout the day but alot of the fat sources i enjoy have protein. Should i limit my protein intake to a certain amount of grams? Judging by the pic, what do you think i am BF% wise? Ill have an updated pic tomorrow as well...
Protein can be up there with your body weight. It's not a problem but excess can lead into stalled progress.
It's a good reminder to track the fat and protein… I haven't manually in a while, just ball-parking it, I bet that I'll find my fat needs to be increased. Re-downloading MyFitnessPal…
I just started paying attention more so then i was before. I also started taking creatine in my PWO for about 2 weeks now.The only thing i have trouble with is counting my macros in a rotisserie chicken. I see posts all over asking the same question...Macros in a whole chicken with most of the skin? I try to eat most of the skin for the fat as long as its crispy and i usually eat most of the meat, including dark. How much protein/fat should i include for that meal since its a staple for me?
Hahaha, someone I totally missed that! I was driving around thinking, man, that's a powerful female!Usual advice from me would be get a few different scales, $40 that do bodyfat and water and track, track, track.That data can be used in many ways in a spreadsheet.Advice related to weight loss and protein on ketosis usually leads back to LESS protein as a starting point.If protein becomes to high and becomes sugar, the body can begin to burn muscle as fuel. Obviously, this is not what we are after. You will "probably" lose fat LAST where you gained it first. For us men, that's going to be the love handles and belly. Arms, quads and face will probably lean out first.
Weighed in at 225 this morning so I didn't lose anything this week. I lifted mon-Thursday took yesterday off, gonna go in today and do some work. My before/after pic from 2 weeks ago hasn't changed really. Maybe I'm over thinking? Should I expect to lose every week when I'm lifting heavy?

I showed a slight weight gain this week, yet all three devices confirmed a fat loss of 2+ pounds. I do not know how that is possible, but it happens all the time. Eventually the weight hits a new low. I am looking for actual research showing fat loss gets filled in fluid retention initially. This could explain the scale frustration.

Eventually the weight hits a new low. I am looking for actual research showing initial fat loss gets filled in by fluid retention. I am theorizing the body is fighting to maintain homeostasis. This could explain the scale frustration for so many.
See below. Granted, i cant seem to take a consistent progress pic angle/distance/color wise lol. 225 this AM, felt good. Any guesses on BF %? I got the caliper last night says im at 12% but im positive im not that…
First off, I cannot wait until I get to your level of fitness. That being said, I think you still have enough fat, to make small changes very hard to see in normal photos.As a reference, look at the photo's on the Propane Fitness blog. They are in great shape and to be honest, in most of the photos, I cannot see much of a difference at all.I once again strongly suggest you get a Dexa scan every 3-6 months and in the interim get a $50 scale that does body fat.Weigh and track daily into a free online version of Excel. That may motivate you. The scales are not perfect and are affected greatly by water variance, but it will show you fat loss where weight has stalled.Here is an example of my weight loss chart. As you can see, the body fights loss and its not a direct line towards my goal. Incidentally, my actual fat loss chart looks the same. Note: those jumps back up after a spike down, are my Carb Nite's.
I'm the same 202 I was last week so I didn't lose anything either and my CN is a few hours away from starting. Going to smash around 1000 grams of carbs, 100-150g protein, and 200-220g fat mostly from butter in the cookies and chocolate in them that I'll keep for the last 2-3hrs of my CN.

This is the exact question I was asking in the thread I started last week. I think it was called "where do the inches go?" I'm on my phone so it's kind of hard to link stuff.I am extremely interested in this topic.Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
