i have great fitness but i am still chubby

[New England]

do you drink a lot of alcohol?

how old are you?

[New England]

3 monts..alternating 1 to 2 sessions a day..mainly running n boxing...no weights...maybe thats why

ive been in camp for 3 months training hard

3 months is not a long time.

world class fighters fighters training for big fights get into shape and make weight in 2-3 months, and they are full time athletes. they're also, you know, gifted.


monitor your weight, particularly in light of the fact that you aren't strength training specifically. eat less and more cleanly. make sure you've got an appropriate distribution of macronutrients for your weight / activity level, and try and get all of your micronutrients from whole foods. drink more water. sweat, sweat sweat.

and cut out the booze.

when i see people who chronically work out, but stay flabby, i generally question their diets, and their consumption of booze.

genetics also plays a gigantic role, as does age.

[SplitSecond]

can you be skinny fat and be in shape?

i can believe chubby with muscle underneath, but skinny fat?

that's like combination of lazy bastard and eating only crap, no offense

anyway, i think you need more testosterone building exercises, try some heavy weights, preferably compound movement and leg workouts, really spike your test

If it means a lot to you , you could make the commitment to a ketogenic diet

Which means high fat, very low carb diet

Eating stuff like eggs, seeds, avocado, nuts - hazelnuts and walnuts are the lowest carb, cashews , almonds and pistachios have more carbs,

I don't eat these but you could throw in butter and bacon



If you don't wanna do that, then at least change your breakfast from porridge to a high fat, very low carb meal such as some eggs. Research studies have shown that eating a high fat , low carb breakfast programs your metabolism to burn fat for the rest of the day. Then you can eat what you've been eating for rest of the day - mostly carbs.

If you eat a high fat diet but low carbs but not low enough to achieve ketosis then you're gonna feel miserable because the brain won't have ketones or carbs for brain function.


So basically, switch up your breakfast Sam. and eat the porridge an hour before a workout

Good luck Sam, where there's a will, there's a way. I remember your thread last year about losing fat and gaining muscle.

Your largest meal needs to be no later than 4pm. Sleeping on a full stomach
is one of the worst situations to put your body in.
Also fasting for one full day every 35 days can be helpfull along with a clenzing aide. It helps to eat and release at a scheduled time your body will adapt to training easier. Never dehydrate during training days.

Good stuff, Ray.

all i see in this thread is a bunch of broscience. flab= more calroies your are consuming rather than being burned off. also your macronutrient in take should be .5grams*bodyweight, protien 1gram*bodyweight, rest of calories in your deficit should be filled with carbs. Thats how you get cut not by limiting your self to only certain types of food. Eat whatever you want to eat as long as it fits those macros.

Meal timing, eating only clean foods, no carbs before bed is all bro science.
