Frustrated!!!

[bayoumuscle21]

Been dieting for two weeks and have lost one pound!!! My stats say I can eat up to 3100 cals but I've been eating around 2400 everyday working out everyday and sometimes twice and not seeing anything.. Could it be muscle memory coming back? Any help is much appreciated

WHat did youexpect in 2 weeks?

If your diet isn't working then simple math says change it....post it here 1st

Training every day and sometimes twice per day is over training and counter productive

What are you doing for training and what is your diet specifically

 

[bayoumuscle21]

I'm doing cardio in morning and lifting in afternoon diet is

Eggs oatmeal for breakfast
Snack 2 protein bars
Chicken breast with one cup rice lunch
Protein bars or tuna for snack
Dinner is lean ground beef/grilled scallops or chicken with sweet potato
Casein shake before bed

Lifting hard and consistent cardio maybe wipe out rice and less oatmeal I'm at 225 I'm eating 270 g of protein and 200 g of carbs drop to 150 g and go from there?

 

[chewyxrage]

You say eggs and protein bars....how many?

imo protein bars are shit unless you're in a bind, they are usually full of sugar

you may be building muscle if you started training recently or are hitting it harder than normal.

Don't rely on the scale. Two weeks is a very small amount of time. 3 months to see results, realistically.

I wouldn't drop it that significantly right off the bat. Are you weighing/ measuring foods? What was your diet/ training like before you started 2 weeks ago?

Go get a baseline bodyfat. Unless your goals are size reduction/ sport-specific weight reduction, the scale is really of limited utility.

Sure, check it occasionally if you want, but I wouldn't use it as a barometer for success.

Good results take time. Almost nothing that happens quickly (torn muscles, etc) is good. Just keep doing your workouts, pushing yourself, and eating clean and the results will come.

Be patient!

This is very good info. How can you know where you are going if you do not know exactly where you are?
