Maybe. It seems the harder the workout, the more calories I crave. Also, It’s certain foods. I figured out that there’s one day a week (usually) that I consume over 5000 calories. These are days that I eat 4 meals and drink 6-10 beers. BUT I consistently workout and do cardio. In the summer about 9 hours a week! Right now, I’m working out about 6 hours per week. This includes cardio! I probably average about 2500 calories / day.
I tend to do an hour of cardio on an empty stomach in the morning before breakfast, do you recommend, having a a protein shake or something before cardio?
How much calories should I eat and how should be my macros ?
Im 6’3” 215 pounds . I want to be more fit . Also is it true that Cardio on an empty stomac is better for fat loss ? Thanks
I’m sorry Legrandeproductions, I didn’t see the part about the adderall and how it effects your appetite. I have to say I don’t know what adderall is or what it’s for. I suppose it doesn’t matter. The important point is it effects your appetite. It’s hard to guide someone on these Youtube postings. I’m doing that now for one guy and I don’t know how well my series of Youtube postings are working to give him the complete message. It’s a lot of work. Steve has GREAT tools in place to help you.
Why are you eating next to nothing? I know you asked Steve, but I’m curious. Also, how long did it take you to lose the 6 pounds to get to 147? You should be eating several meals and snacks throughout the day. If you’re eating next to nothing and dropping 6 pounds quickly, then you’re in a crash diet. You’re losing mostly muscle and not fat. Try to keep your weightloss at 1lb. per week or less. Patience is the word here. If you lost 6 lbs of fat at your weight, you would notice the difference.

hey steve whats up i have a question i have been taking adderall 30mg(legally so no one hate on me) and i have not really had the feeling of a loss of appetite so i have been eating less next to nothing. i am still a little over weight i started at 153 this week now i am down to 147. but i also have been working out i have some fat still left on my stomach and over the muscle in my chest if you could please tell me whats happening and what i can do to loss that last extra weight to get a 6 pack.
Hey Steve I’m thinking of joining your site because I need some help with muscle gain. What all would you be able to do if I joined your site? Thank you. Your great.
It’s OK that you don’t have a big apetite. Muscle is trained on, not eaten on. You probably lost some fat weight and put just a bit of muscle weight on. I would ease up on the cardio, strength training, and not burning extra calories through cardio is the key for you. You can do some cardio,..but just don’t do too much. Keep challenging yourself with that iron. Stay in touch and let us know how you’re doing.
If your weight is not increasing straight away I would not worry too much. I started a home training program about 4-5 weeks ago and my weight has not shifted at all from 65kg (I am about 5 ft 10). However, I feel much stronger than I did before and I can visibly see the difference in my body.
Have faith that you are steadily losing fat and gaining muscle.

@obesitymyths I keep receiving similar messages from an account named Jane Cannaro. I assume you’re the same person and just a pathetic, lifeless soul

Wow, that’s a tremendous range of calories. So you only eat 2000 on days you don’t plan on working out?

Your videos are great!
I’m 6’0 and was 300lbs. I’ve been eating 1500 calories a day and working out. My goal is 170lbs.
The weight is flying off and it’s all thanks to your common sense advice and counsel.
Thanks to much!

Cyrax68….do NOT do that! You will lose muscle like crazy. Why do you want to be 5,10…135 lbs?? 5,10′ 169 lbs. sounds just about right.

Hard question. Total calories will depend on what you do and what you want to achieve. Cardio on an empty stomach is NOT better for fat loss.
