  1. Hey Andi, Thanks for your reply. That does look like a pretty cool tool, I'll definitely be using this! Plus it's got all the UK supermarket own brands and everything. Thanks a lot!
  2. I'm looking for figure out what my maintenance calorie intake is. I'm looking for some recipes that I can use during a bulk phase that will be high in calories and protein, and that I can also cut back the portions for cutting and maintenance phase. I make all my meals from scratch and so am having difficulty gauging their calorie content. Does anyone have any staples that they swear by with approximate calorie content (or recipe websites that list calorie content) that I can use to get an idea what I should be consuming given my workout, job and lifestyle? Thanks!
  3. Awesome Rob, I will try this. Can't say I'm looking forward to eating less, I have quite liked eating lots. Thanks for your help.
  4. Hey, thanks for your response. Yeah up until now I've just been concerned with getting the calories in and lifting heavy, then dealing with the excess fat afterwards. I haven't put on a lot of fat at all, but I just don't have much definition of the muscle I've made. I haven't been eating junk or many simple carbs or fats at all, just a lot of meals around whole foods. Lots of nuts, beans, tofu, lentils, fruit, veg etc. The occasional processed food like soya sausages. So you would just recommend dropping down my calorie intake, continuing with my lifting regime of heavy and low rep (to maintain my gains, but not make any new gains) to trim the fat, then amend my diet to bulk as clean as possible when I'm down to the body fat percentage I want?
  5. Hey everybody, I've been reading some of the forum articles on here (in particular, this one http://www.veganbodybuilding.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1774) and have a couple of questions. I have been doing a bulk for the past few months (eating like crazy and lifting heavy) and have seen some good results. I have definitely got a lot stronger and put on some good muscle mass. However, with that muscle, came the chubs. I've been planning on moving into a cutting phase soon, but after reading the above article, I was wondering if instead I should continue my 3-4 days a week of heavy weight/low rep lifting and eating, and simply introduce a HIIT program on my off days? I have read that HIIT doesn't burn that many calories, but instead the unwanted blubber and ups my metabolic rate. And (from what some of the comments in the post say) I can still continue to put on muscle mass. Is this realistic?
