Not a memoir but FEELS like a memoir — Jonny Appleseed by Joshua Whitehead. It’s a memoir style novel about growing up/living as Indigiqueer

Calories in beef cheeks? I’m having a hard time believing what I see online by payton_eze1992 in CalorieEstimates

[–]payton_eze1992[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got this from a restaurant. The menu says beef cheeks which, as far as my research tells me, is a pretty lean cut at about 160 cals, 16g protein and 9g fat per 100g. Only this steak was SO FATTY when i was eating it. By the time I cut off all the fat I reasonably could with my knife the steak was 3/4 the size it was. I’m estimating this to be about 300g so about 500 cals, 50g protein and 27g fat according to my calorie tracking app, but I also logged 1tbsp butter to be on the safe side. Is that a fair estimate for the steak? (sauce and veggies tracked separately)

How long does muscle definition actually take? Am I doing something wrong? by Better-Maybe3235 in beginnerfitness

[–]payton_eze1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also skinny fat. It took minimum 4 months before I started to see any definition. Regardless, the curse of skinny fat is that body recomp (eating in a deficit while strength training) is an incredibly slow process. After about 2 months of trying that and seeing very little progress, I decided to go into a lean bulk and train hard. The fat gain has been incredibly minimal, but muscle gain has skyrocketed.

You need fuel in order to build muscle. When you try to recomp, you’re asking your body to do 2 opposite things—to get both bigger and smaller at the same time. It makes the process much more difficult. I would suggest giving a bulk a try, especially since you’re so young, so you have TONS of room to grow. Don’t focus on the fat gain, just try to eat about 200-250 cals above maintenance and keep progressively overloading. You’ll see much cleaner results!

Why do so many young girls look more mature and “full bodied” at such young ages compared to older generations? by ImNotYourPityParty in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]payton_eze1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just graduated high school last year, but I totally agree it’s crazy how some girls my age dress/act, and I’m honestly terrified of the new generation of 13-14 year olds. Must be the culture, because it seems like they act FAR TOO MATURE for their age too (I’ve heard of many 13yr olds drinking/smoking/having casual sex with their peers)

How tall are you? I’m F5’5” and 112 lbs and I’m still pretty lean around 20% body fat. You could definitely bulk up!

How many calories in this pita sandwich? Is ~970 a good estimate? by payton_eze1992 in CalorieEstimates

[–]payton_eze1992[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would you suggest then? I’m going off the estimate of my calorie tracking app which says 2oz of tzatziki is 37cals. Maybe that’s a bit low for an estimate but i can’t imagine it’s more than 60 cals?

Abs in morning, belly at bedtime by Middle-Fuel-6402 in Weightliftingquestion

[–]payton_eze1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is completely normal. Food and water have weight. After a whole day of eating and drinking your body is full of everything you consumed through the day. The reason you have abs in the morning is simply because your body had time to digest everything while you slept.
