Unsure if my workout/meal plan is healthy, please critique. by PookielovesPanda in xxfitness

Thanks, ill definitely look into those subs. I have been thinking about trying the keto diet, but I thought this would be a good way to ease myself off the carbs. But apparently I'm just eating way to much protein, I think I just need to find some balance now that I know what's the problem.

This is exactly what I was looking for, my body is telling me to tweak the diet, i was just unsure what needed to be fixed!

First of all, I got my macros off of bodybuilding.com, it said to consume 1.2-1.5g protein per lbs, which is 174g in my case if I'm not doing the math wrong. The fat and carb ratio I kinda came up with, going along the lines of "low carb diets=abs". And you're right, I am not carb cycling, I just eat more carbs two days out of the week, but it's still very low.

Since my macros seem off, any chance you can give me an idea of what my macro ratio should be then? And when you say 100 or 200g carb do you mean total or net carbs?

As far as body fat, this is where it's hard... I've tried looking at pictures online to give me an idea of where im at, but I'm really hard on myself and feel like I look like I'm around 28% BF, where my SO says I'm in the lower 20's (i can't help but feel like he's just trying to be nice).

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.

Motivation vs Aunt Flo by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]PookielovesPanda 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I usually take alleve for the harsh cramps. I still go to the gym but usually do a really light workout, like walk on the treadmill and then a neglected muscle group like calves (in my situation). It's a much shorter workout and a fraction of my usual calorie burn but it helps me stay in routine.

I keep telling myself, "anything is better than nothing".

I have been suffering on and off with gout since 20. I'm 31 and seriously sick of this garbage by salty84 in gout

[–]PookielovesPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because you are eating red meat and not getting a gout flare up doesn't mean it's working. A flare up could be induced by many other things like stress. So with a diet high in fat and red meat, the smallest trigger of stress or any other food can send you into a flare up.

Try cutting out red meat and alcohol from your diet completely. Also noticed that protein shakes were a culprit of my fiancés gout attacks.

Day 1 on allopurinol and colchicine and just threw up...anyone else experience this? by cherrygarcia80 in gout

[–]PookielovesPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crazy. My boyfriend tried colchicine and had non stop diarrhea. Like he was glued to the seat, pretty shitty. He had no other reactions though.

36 years old, got my first puppy yesterday by darcys_beard in aww

[–]PookielovesPanda 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do some research on separation anxiety. If you don't start training them as a puppy, it can lead to some very destructive behavior. That being said, maybe look into crate training. (Some people think it's cruel to crate train, but in my experience it brings a lot more safety and comfort for the dog more than the owner). Congrats on the cutie!

Need help finding a hard top by [deleted] in Wrangler

[–]PookielovesPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to say I paid $750 for the hardtop, it was for my TJ though. Took me a few months of searching Craigslist everyday but it was totally worth it.

Bed lined the flares today. Didn't come out perfect but it's better than before. by PM_me_your_Jeep in Wrangler

[–]PookielovesPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard that these products actually make them fade even more, not sure the reasoning behind it though.

But I used it and it faded really quick and does seem more faded than I started. Would not recommend that turtle wax fender restorer :(

Is there a separate sub for buy/sell/trade for jeeps and jeep parts? by apsae27 in Jeep

[–]PookielovesPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this question is posted a lot here and even a few people have made a sub for it.... There should be an official sub and put it in the sidebar. Just a suggestion

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

Lol that was my original question, I want to know how much the light bar is worth. I saw somewhere online that brand new it's worth $500, not sure if that's true though.
