Make sure you do more than just running though, things like WT and HIIT will boost metabolism and burn calories for hours after you do them.

But yeah, diet contributes to 80% of losing that gut. That doesn't mean don't eat anything, but 3000 calories a day isn't optimal unless you're very active (more than a couple hours a day of intense activity)

Yeah i know i need to do better for sure, the summer is killer for me, consists of a lot of going out(Where im buying food rather than making) and a lot of drinking.

Ill be able to drop my calories down to 2000 when school starts(2 weeks)
And i do run quite frequently usually 8-10 miles a week. (A lot for me)

Im no overly fit guy, im a big football kind of guy, i just want to be more healthy than i am, off-season and summer times i usually put on a lot of weight and am not health conscious at all.


True, i should do HIIT but it so doesnt appeal to me lol, makes me want to cry inside.
I dont mind running i have a nice bike trail near my house with lots of wildlife etc, i should probably just kick it up a notch and try to do an extra mile everytime.

I prefer HIIT over running lol, takes less time and less boring.
I prefer biking though.
Or doing HIIT on a bike!

Oh god.

Im still a fat kid at heart, and im really lazy to do things that are new.
Once i get in a nice routine it seems a lot easier, maybe ill give it a try.

Ive been able to build up a LOT of muscle in the last few months doing what im doing, just not losing as much weight as id like, mind you i put on muscle weight, but still.

12oz curls

hahahah

eat right and stay active is all you gotta do

What's you Height/weight/bf%

Im 6'2.5" 274(as of 2 days ago)

My bf% if i had to guess is somewhere between 18-20%, not entirely sure.

My legs are fit, very little fat, as well as my arms, my mid section i have a gut etc, working on it though.

I should get my BF% tested

Iso pics, 18% seems on the low end if you have a gut
When I had a small gut. I was 26% lol

true ill try to get a good pic up here, and im just guessing i could be close to that as well. Im just basing it on the fact that my legs and arms have very little fat on them, like next to none.
My only fatty area is my mid-section, but yeah my gut is at least 35 pounds of excess fat, plus other areas, you could be right, maybe 25% fat

Ill def go get my BF% checked.

good d bro
