Can I make a suggestion. Rather than weight or bmi why don't you do body fat percentage. Muscle is heavier than fat so just going by weight is not a true indication.

^^^^^^^^^ this.

This is exactly why I'm going by waistband.

When I played rugby I was declared clinically obese. I had hardly any fat on me in those days. I could've lifted the doctor and run round the hospital with him on my shoulders without breaking sweat.

Mind you, was 20 odd years ago!

That's my exact point bmi is flawed! 14 stone of muscle is a lot smaller than 14 stone of fat!

Use calipers to measure bf% can pick them up for about £10 on amazon probably less. Another tip, download myfitnesspal app and then enter all your stats, height weight etc and then your goal and it will calculate your required calorie intake etc. you can then do a food diary, enter everything you eat and it adds up calories fats proteins etc for you and tells you how many you have left over or by how many you've had too much by. Great app IMO

Been doing a lot of reading up on it ATM because getting back into my training and that's not the end of the world mate, a lot of people recommend a cheat day or others recommend a carb refeed day if you're on a low carb diet. Uk muscle is a great forum for diet and nutrition advice

Exactly plus life's too short not to have treats, I train hard and eat right 98% of the time. Plus I'm riding 94 miles minimum Sunday that pizza won't begin to touch the sides!
