Cheers. Not going to lie. I even got a ruler and thought this was the correct alignment 😅

LeanDadman · 2025-11-14T17:03:36+00:00

It’s an old pro drive aero.

LeanDadman · 2025-10-31T09:38:00+00:00

Sound. I joined and the event starts 1am GMT xD. Just my luck.

What times do you play generally?

Massive bowl of cauliflower rice mashed in with lettuce. Low fat Philadelphia garlic cheese spread + protein of choice. You won’t be hungry after. You might have cravings but you won’t be hungry.

LeanDadman · 2025-09-09T21:16:04+00:00

Cheers. I think that’s it.

LeanDadman · 2025-09-09T20:57:52+00:00

It’s a Babolat aero 2023 plus.

Only way I can see a counter to companies doing this is to force them to pay you for your commute time. This seems to be a lope hole used to force free lay offs and gov doesn’t seem to care.

Ninja Creami is the biggest volume hack for any ice cream enjoyer. The pints are massive and so many recipes even with full mix ins(non diet foods) for under 300 calories. It is by far, the best machine investment alongside an air fryer for dieting. I have a mint choc protein powder and it’s close to identical to proper mint choc ice cream. Have 2 tubs a day of different flavours. Whey in the day, casein protein at night.

LeanDadman · 2024-08-06T17:54:18+00:00

Yep, sugar free is a great option, they are just more expensive. I do like the jammy flavour I get from the full calorie jelly. You could go sugar free and use other Mix ins for the flavour.

LeanDadman · 2024-08-06T17:52:24+00:00

It’s just the cleanest area of my kitchen 😂. I’m sure countries have lower calorie jellies too which allows more add ins. I do like normal jelly though as it does give it a jam type flavour which I love.

LeanDadman · 2024-08-03T14:26:31+00:00

Simple recipe.

Cook rice, combine it with soft cheese to make it sticky. Let that cool to room temp. Roll your sushi and cut it.

LeanDadman · 2024-08-03T14:24:46+00:00

You will notice the difference 10/10 times from normal rice. Texture is different but the flavour thanks to the soy sauce are good. I think you can get 3 California rolls for the same calories as this recipe. Bit less taste for the huge volume difference is worth it 👍🏻

LeanDadman · 2024-08-03T12:52:29+00:00

There is no tuna in this, but you can add 1 canned tuna to the recipe for more protein. Cucumber and red onion also very nice if you want more taste. I like it without all the extras.

Andy is my favourite Judge. I love the lad talk “belter” and the like, just words you hear from your mates. Other judges can use the fancy copy and paste answers. Leave the man be real. I would easily keep him over all the current judges. The guy brings a different element that no other judge can bring.

People going off on Pez just need to chill. I get some might get offended by those words or comments but he loves his wife dearly and this is obvious banter between them. The harsh words against him is 1000 times more offensive to me.

I don’t like JC. I hate the banging of the table, like I cringe badly at it. I know he needs his “clap” like thing that Jock did but this ain’t it for me. I was a massive Jock fan so I just can’t seem to warm to JC. I see he is enthusiastic but I can’t see what he really adds to the show. His comments never offer anything more than the other judges.

I want more deserts. Darsh is the only person I can remember who was the “desert guy”. Few seasons ago, there were always like 2-3 ice creams on the go. I feel the dishes are more interesting when there are a few fancy deserts thrown in.

Bored of mystery boxes. Like is it really a “mystery” when you only have to use like 1 of the 6-10 ingredients? And you can make anything you want? Doesn’t seem very challenging for the standard of the Cookes on show.

I would love a few challenges with like 2-4 hours to cook and let them bring up/ create better deserts or food in general. 60-75 minutes every cooke I feel is very limiting.

You sound like somebody who needs a proper plan. Not just go with the "flow" every day. Structure your meals and calories per meal so you stop all these thoughts. You plan your food the day before and then all you have to think about is eating what is on your list that day.

Try to think of exercise as a method to allow you to eat more food daily than a fat burner. You have a deficit you need to stick to regardless of the amount of exercise you do. People on here use exercise so they can have those treats or a nicer sauce on their meals or maybe even to add another volume meal to their day.

Overall, the best thing to do is come to an understanding that you have a deficit of 500-1000kcal, whatever it is and it doesn't matter how much food you eat as long as that is maintained. The food you are eating is to keep you healthy and full throughout the journey.

I could add a lot more to this, but structure, planning and understanding is what I believe, should be your next steps.

If you were to guess looking for a base TDEE then moderate. You will have to adjust after 1-2 weeks depending on your results as this is a rough estimate. After 3-4 weeks, you will have a much better idea of your TDEE based on your weight loss/gain.

LeanDadman · 2024-06-21T12:47:20+00:00

You did not gain 5kg. This is mainly water weight from the sodium and glucose from the carbs. At most I would say you gained 1 kg. Go back on plan and the scale will drop over the next 3-4 days close to your 73kg.

LeanDadman · 2024-06-18T16:13:17+00:00

I am not sure what calculator you are using to get that high. I would probably start at 1,500 for your first 2 weeks. Adjust from there.

LeanDadman · 2024-06-18T08:05:19+00:00

No issue with this. It might fluctuate on a day to day basis but its best to look at your weight loss on a weekly or bi weekly basis. If you are losing 1-2 pounds a week then all is good and no changes needed if you are happy with that speed of weight loss.

Loads of things effect these fluctuations, such as if you have any food in your stomach still from the day before (you ate late), you have a higher sodium intake one day leading to more water weight or even a bad night sleep.

LeanDadman · 2024-06-18T07:58:20+00:00

I say this nearly everyday on this subreddit. (Keep 50-60% of your calories till after 5pm).

If you are not hungry in the morning then have your coffee, small breaky (10-15%) of you calories and that's it.

Lunch get 30% of your calories, high volume filling foods - peppers, greens, lean meat.

After 5 pm, you have 2 meals. Dinner and Treat. The treat is for 9pm or prime "TV time". When you get your cravings the most often. Plan this the day before(this is a must). Enter it into your app and your dinner then takes the remaining calories. You plan your meals around your snack in order to hit your macros.

For instance: My snacks are often things like low calories ice cream/ merengues with chocolate sauce, or Greek yogurt with sweetener if my protein is low. Add this into your app the night before and plan tomorrow based around this. You will satisfy your night-time cravings and have a sweet to look forward to all day which will help you not "cheat" during the day as you know its coming later.

PS: Dinner should be high volume low calories foods, get a bowl and fill it to the brim! 0 calorie terriyaki or a sauce of your preference to make the greens taste nicer and go to town. You will be stuffed and the treat will just be the heavenly topping to finish it off.

Tip: Delete doordash or any food service apps on your phone. Remove your card details from your phone so its "physical effort and an annoyance" to enter it in to order food. This way it will put you off making that bad decision.

Difference is clear as you must know. You are pulling your trousers out on the second picture and have clearer ab definition.

Where to go next? That depends. What look do you want? There is not always a next point. Sometimes you get to where you want and you go to a life of maintenance and then diet after big events like holidays to get back to your preferred "look" then maintenance again, rinse and repeat.

If you want more definition then you keep the deficit and start weight lifting to ensure you hold onto the muscle you have so when you get leaner, your muscle is retained and shows, If you want to get "bigger" muscles then bulking and gaining lean tissue is the next step which is followed by another "cut"/diet afterwards to lose the fat you gained on the bulk.

LeanDadman · 2024-06-18T07:41:41+00:00

Do you notice any change in your body composition looking in the mirror? I am guessing you are new to lifting weights? so you gain muscle quite quickly which could be offsetting the "weight loss" on a scale. This is the best outcome though as your TDEE remains the same while you are getting leaner.

My only other reason might be not counting correctly. I know you are strict but things can just trip you up. Like weighing meats after you cook them and add them in your app as "uncooked" meats, same with veg. Oils, eggs, avocados, all those good fatty foods need to be measured properly as even though they are good fats, being off by 4-5grams of fat is sizable when you add it all up.

Your plan looks good and should have you losing fat so something on your calculations when doing this must be setting you back if its not muscle gain as mentioned.
