to take some pressure away for the weighing process....


weigh yourself JUST before bed....not in the am...there are a couple of reason to do this

 

[JKurz1]

I do it 2x a week in the am....that way it remains constant.....my weight fluctuate 7-8lbs between am and night from all the food and water....same principle, just want to stay consistent......dont think I should dropped a pound this early though...but its prob. missing the damn meals@

Don't sweat it JK, you didn't really drop a pound, if you are gonna weigh yourself, you can't be neurotic. You're not a 13 year old girl, lol, with the way you're eating and training a 1lb fluctuation is NOTHING...don't worry about it.

trust me bro...not concerned at all......just keepin it real

YOu missed my point....


the reason most rec. weight in the am is that its your LOWEST weight of the day - most people diet to lose....hence the am weight.

Weighing before bed is JUST as consistent but allows you to ensure that you arent dehydrated etc.

If you want to play the game - play it all the way and be consistent - weight yourself before bed.

1 lb wt difference from not eating would probably have been nothing but food in your digestive tract which wouldn't have translated into a 1lb gain in muscle mass. plus there are weight flucuations anyway due to a vast number of reasons. so stop obsessing over weight changes over a few hrs. at the end of the day, if you're getting stronger and you're eating a surplus of cals anyway, so you WILL gain muscle.

Tomorrow is my off day...Hate friggn off days almost as much as I love em. My body needs a freakin break, awesome back session today. i hate em cause I only get carbs in my first 4 meals and then its all protein after 3ish...and fats. you guys do this on off days? maybe if I do some cardio I can make em all carbs...man I love my oats and pasta!!!

Honestly, my take is calories are calories are calories....you're not trying to cut or drop weight, think of the carbs as fuel for the next day's workout.

exactly, some people have more carbs on off days as an aid to recovery and to be already firing for the next day.

I did 35 minutes of light am cardio, followed by abs....today, = no weights.....cardio is done, so now its just relax and eat.....I did replace my am oats meal with a flax/whey shake and 6 egg whites....I'm going with a good wholesome carb meal in my second meal and then all fiberous carbs, i.e. veggies for the rest of the day......u think I should have carbs in my third meal too? Maybe just a half cup of quick oats?
