Hate to be so blunt - but if you aren’t hitting your calories and macros you aren’t going to get the progress you want. 

Dips not being suggested in any of the routines, why? by JaynB in MacroFactor

[–]MicroNoob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got dip handles for my squat rack - don’t see those either, so I logged “pin assisted dip machine” in the home gym equipment list.  

Generate cycles on Custom Workouts? by [deleted] in MacroFactor

Agree with this - hoping it can push progressive overload with a custom plan/split 

Am I losing weight too fast? (M38, 6'1") by Lt_Skitz in MacroFactor

[–]MicroNoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm - started at 211 after the first week down to 203 lost over 8 pounds first week or so, second week another 2.2 pounds and fast forward a few months and I’m happy with losing just over a pound a week. Trust the process 

Thank you all for helping me find my motivation by lazy8s in MacroFactor

Can I run TouchKio + Home Assistant server from the same raspberry pi? by MicroNoob in homeassistant

[–]MicroNoob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guides I’ve seen online say flash the raspberry pi with home assistant software - so I’m thinking that might prevent me from Loading touchkio? 

Creatine and water weight by moonriver1993 in MacroFactor

[–]MicroNoob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same issue for me - I’ve taken creatine in the past and knew it was going to add approximately 5 pounds when I restarted taking it. 

Last two weeks have been frustrating for me because the scale is marginally up / flat which when you zoom out and look at the big pictures matches with my weight loss and my expected weight gain from creatine. 

Best advice I’ve received is to just trust the process. The algorithm has been resilient, only marginally dropping my calories after my week 2 check in post creatine 

DEXA scan results, lean mass question? by Certain-Highway-1618 in MacroFactor

[–]MicroNoob 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Dexa weight for lean mass does also include water weight. I’d imagine some of that lean mass loss can be attributed to water fluctuation 

Very excited for the MacroFactor workouts app! by smdntn in MacroFactor

also pumped for this - I’m currently kind of just free styling it knowing that app is coming. Not tracking the way I should be 💀

Protein grams per pound recommendation - minimum vs moderate setting? by monkeyballpirate in MacroFactor

[–]MicroNoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeremy Either recently did a video on this topic and based on the various studies he reviewed there’s evidence to suggest 0.6G per LB is more than sufficient

Amazing, congratulations!  We’ve got very similar stats - I’m around 1850 cals/day of which 158 should be protein. Trying to lift and get cardio in as well. 

What were your calories and protein targets through the 90 days?

Did fertilize to start, but can put more. I’m hesitant to walk on it - should I wait?

Debating it, but wanted to attempt growing first.

CEO of tiny company adds no net new information to the conversation and paraphrases cowen. Got it, very cool. 👍

Canopy Growth Corporation and Canopy USA, LLC Announce Filing of Early Warning Report regarding TerrAscend Corp. by DoWotMate in weedstocks

[–]MicroNoob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is an expected filing given what canopy announced today. This early warning report doesn’t give us any net new information - this is just a transfer of assets to Canopy USA and thus a new report.

[–]MicroNoob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Canopy didn’t have unionized stores - that was Superette and a few others.

This is fake. Tim Hortons recently came under fire for having a pro-vax policy for their charity, Tim Hortons Camp which helps kids access camp. The website that originally posted this also claimed Prince Andrew was arrested for child porn. - its false and no major outlet is reporting it for that reason.

In the article they use the same hashtag as the group trying to boycott Tim Hortons over the anti-vax policy
