calorie counting is only for serious body builders and there's an easier method instead of counting calories. Portions is where its at. If u know what you're eating isnt high in calories then you should be good. Just eat clean and you'll see results. You should know by now what is good and isnt good for you.

And before ya'll nikkas get on me about counting calories, i leave u with this


Sounds like common sense approach .

I'm a beginner and just really started working out. I've been too sore to even do pushups. Should I continue to workout even though I'm sore or should I wait until my body feels better?

it takes usually two weeks to adjust to a gym regiment

general rule of thumb is to give each muscle group 48 hours to recover before hitting it again

i do a chest/arms then a back/shoulders split every other day(legs both days)

Just start back at that routine. You know it works and doesn't sound drastic.

get myfitnesspal and track what you eat.

one of the hardest things about losing weight WHILE lifting is that insatiable need to eat a big meal after lifting, especially with DOMS after the fact the next few days

best habits that i employed:

1. Don't eat breakfast - this is something i kinda did naturally due to not eating breakfast really but in truth limiting yourself to two meals can make it that much easier to fit your numbers in a day(IE two man sized meals as opposed to some soft 300 cal helpings throughout the day)

2. Drink water constantly - it not only keeps you hydrated but it keeps your hormones in check, look up articles on the effects of dehydration and youll see how easy it is for it to fukk you up on a cut.

3. Vitamins - especially the energy boosters like B complex etc, get your zinc, get some fish oil, throw a multi in. It all helps to keep your head level. I went without it for awhile and it slowly caused me to get lethargic.

4. Cold Showers - i cant speak enough about how they help recovery, i took them at wake up and before bed. If you can't take the shock go from warm to cold

5. EC Stack - it will have your metabolism feeling like its revving. Even though its effects are not as great as some will tell you the placebo effect is definitely there. Just off the energy boost alone it will have you feeling powerful

6. Lift with purpose - regardless what routine you have, choose one that provides for some kind of trackable progression. Stalling workouts can make you feel soft, inadequate, time wasting whatever you wanna call it. Changing up the routine to keep progress going isn't just a best method for cutting, but fitness in general. Always keep progressing no matter what.

7. Alcohol and pot will fukk you eventually - this is what has ultimately killed me last year. They lead to other bad habits like binge eating while out, along with the added cals of the drinks themselves. Best bet, be disciplined and go out LATE and once a week. Im practicing this now. Id rather miss out on some action if it means im an underwear model by May

i hope this helps some of yall who are on the resolution tip, all it takes is for a few weeks of success and youll be on your way. The trick is staying motivated despite good times or bad times.

essentials

general multi - mens one a day

fish oil

zinc

the rest are kinda here and there depending on what your diet is like. I wouldnt over do it though, must supplements dont have high conversion rates so you will waste money on things you probably should try to get from food.
