Hey guys, When I select the meal planner/ create or browse meal plan the meal planner tutorial video of Scott plays. After this when I click on the any links or on the demo it redirects me to the initial sign-up page. I've already signed up. How do I get access to the MS Meal Planner? Thanks

Just use the same log-in details as you use for the site. When you've logged into the meal planner once, it should keep you logged in 😊

Hi guys,

 

I followed the meal plan video to calculate my calories and macros but when I put my numbers in the meal plan app I get a different result. I'm not sure which one is correct.

 

I'm 6'7, 196 lbs, 15% body fat

 

BMR at rest 2032

BMR in Motion 3150

 

I want to gain muscle starting at a 250 surplus which would put me at 2841 calories/day according to the video.

 

The meal plan plan app tells me I should be eating 3359.

 

Im not sure which one is correct. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Just by looking at your stats I can tell you to go by the calculator numbers from the @mealplan page, definitely. At 6'7 and nearly 200lbs you are going to need A LOT.. and I mean A LOT of food to fill out that frame my bro! Which is a good thing 😁 

 

Even 3300 calories probably won't be enough for you.. I mean it does depend on how often you are working out and things like that.. but 3300 is probably maintenance for you. How many days a week will you be training? Are you following one of the programs on the site?

 

You can start there and work your way up if needed though. I might be wrong and maybe you will start gaining on 3300.. but I have a feeling you'll be needing more calories than that. Did you also do some macro calculations?

Thanks for the response Scott!

 

I calculated 3400 calories, 45% carbs 382 grams, 30% protein 255 grams, 25% fat 95 grams.

 

I'm new to working out and I'm trying to get rid of my last bit of belly fat so I just started your 12 week fat loss plan and I'm really liking it.

Hey man,

 

Hope you are doing well. Mine was different as well, within 300 calories... I went with the higher calorie diet from the BMR calculator on muscularstrength since I'm doing the push/pull program and pushing mysef pretty hard (not what I'm used to). When the time comes to offload or if I can not maintain my daily workouts (working long hours) I might adjust mealplan to the lower BMR results from the Meal plan but I will remain within 200-500 calories of my existing count of 3500 calories a day. I'm 6'-1, 213lbs, 20% bodyfat trying to burn fat and gain a little extra muscle again. Would like to maintain weight between 213-215lbs. My nutrition percentages are the same as yours. I'm just in the beginning phase of program but I can feel I need a whole lot of energy to get me through it all and building some.

 

Good luck man.

OK so you may as well start at 3400 this week and see how it goes, and if you're not gaining weight, then increase it to 3600 next week and so on. The macro ratios are probably OK.. just keep an eye on the carbs. You don't want them too high because there's a good chance that will be what's responsible for that last bit of belly fat.

 

The first macro I would look at increasing is fat when you next have to bump them up. Glad you are enjoying the program too! Those routines are hardcore right?! 💪 ðŸ‹

Hey Scott!

 

I increased my calories to 3400 for a couple weeks but my weight stayed the same so I bumped them up to 3500 for the last 2 weeks and I’ve put on about 6 pounds in 2 weeks. According to my caliper my bfp has stayed around the same.

 

I have been working out using the ppl workout but had to make some variations of it. Is putting on 6 pounds in 2 weeks too much? I can see on my body where I’ve built muscle but I don’t know about 6 pounds.

 

Thanks so much!

Damn that is a big jump with just an extra 100 calories daily.. maybe you didn't have the calculations right somewhere? ANd of that 6lbs some of it will be water retention weight too, but either way if your bf% is staying idle, then you are on the right track! And good to see you are keeping an eye on your progress! 🙌
