i'm no nutrition doctor guy but i've been dabbling in gym for a couple years because i get no hoes. first off you won't lose weight if you don't incorporate some sort of cardio. it's just how it is. eat something with healthy carbs and a decent amount of calories (pasta, sandwich, whatever the bottom of the dumpster has.) if you don't get enough carbs and cals you'll be tired as soon as you walk in the gym. post, just make a protein shake. go buy some cheap protein powder and find something you like. happy to send my recipe if you feel so inclined

losing weight is quite simply burning more calories than you intake. best thing to do first is increase your water intake and eliminate any sugary/high caloric drinks. for the intermittent, diet sodas and sugar free energy drinks are a good alternative if you drink a lot of those now but best to avoid those all together. chicken broccoli and rice for the win on food. the less seasoning the better.

cardio for days too. i fuckin hate running just to run but grew up riding bmx. its good cause you can get quick spurts in and then rest but the more the better of course. plus you can get around town and build jumps and what not. actually building jumps, making and hitting a back yard setup, etc. will also make you a better rider and good exercise.

the hardest part with starting is starting. maintaining the mindset is hard. one thing i like to do is think about what would the ideal version of me do in this situation? what are the thoughts, feelings, and actions my ideal self would do?? if im not in that state, stop, envision it fully, create a future memory of being in that state, and tap into that familiar preset state when doing something and execute on it.

yes thank you. the good news is that i have started, hopefully i can keep it up, i have several motivations. lowk relapsed last week LOL did you know mixing fruit punch and lemonade is like the most cancerously delicious drink ever?? i've also really improved my eating habits, thankfully most in part to this camp im at.

is there any way to know how much cardio you should be doing? is it just a wait to see the results kind of thing and adjust from there? i typically bike/run on machines after workout until i hit 100 cals burned (just a random number i set for myself).
 
sometimes when im super fuckin bored like i was today i will go on to shredsauce and gaslight people into thinking someone is talking shit about them to me in a private chat.

so like ill see whos active in there and say something in the group chat like “naw man ive only seen egg a few times but he seems chill to me. wtf did they do to you?? lol” and then say “woops wrong chat” and then never say anything again.

yeah the answer for how much cardio should you do is always more lol. although anything past marathons seems ridiculous to me.

This will tell you how many calories you're likely to be burning in a day. If you're really serious about this, you should be logging everything you eat in a fitness app so you have a good idea of your calorie deficit.

A pound of fat holds around 3500 calories, so a 500 cal/day deficit will lose you a pound a week. There is always some trial and error though, calculators and exercise machines can't account for everyone. Also, the longer you diet, the harder your body will try to hold onto its remaining fat so you'll have to re-adjust over time.

Lastly, 100 cals from exercise isn't very much. I know I burn around 120 per mile ran (I'm around 180 lbs) so a good cardio session is like 300 cals minimum for me

All depends on your goals.

To lose weight, fasted cardio and light weight high reps is my opinion to get toned.

To lose weight and gain strength - lifting with some light cardio non fasted.

I would guess You probably don't need to fast. I almost always get a better workout with food in my stomach.

I'd say have a light meal before you go, cardio warmup and light - medium weight HIGH REPS. High reps and maximum sets is really where it sets the physically fit dudes from the bodybuilding Meat heads.

Hardest part for most is eating. I think protein intake and diet is the most important part of getting healthy at any age.

I'm 205lbs and i try to get anywhere between 175-225 grams of protein a day (especially after lifting). Be sure you're getting some good chicken & Steak meals in.

Stay away from only plant based protein. It's not the same amino acid chain as meat and doesn't repair the muscles at the same level. It's still a good source of protein but if you're eating plant based protein be sure you get some animal product in you as well. EGGSSSS

Lastly, if you're 150 lbs and want to put on muscle weight I'd recommend at least 120 grams of protein A DAY. It's not easy but if you're eating 2-3 chicken breasts a day thats half of waht you need. Then nuts, yogurt and eggs. ETC.

ngl that’s only not a lot of money if you make poor spending choices, or have a fuck ton of student loans/car payment and high rent. We did a budgeting activity in my finance class, my median entry level salary in my state for Wealth Management/Consulting was 163k and i legit struggled to spend more than 3500$ a month living pretty nicely. All though I should note buffalos cost of living is relatively low. My teacher actually said she’d fail me if I didn’t find a way to spend more of the 8,000 monthly income. Despite the fact I was living quite nicely in the project and within my means.

Bro. Unless you're graduating from Yale in the top 10% of your class an entry level for wealth management or consulting won't pay you 163K. Both of those positions are based on experience.

no old people who use wealth management services are going to trust a 22 year old with no experience.

Just sayin.
 
Can’t tag vt because two different pages and I’m on mobile but what he says is correct.

You can expect maybe $50k for entry level wealth manager at somewhere like fidelity investments. Then it’s tiered up based on accounts, experience, etc. as you progress.

You can try to go into consulting but it’s a broad sweep of a brush to use that term. It’s insanely competitive for the big firms and then some practice the “up or out” methodology. So you better make sure you’re near the top or else yearly reviews will be stressful. It’s also structured similar to wealth management with the tiers, partners, experience, etc.

Also, consulting isn’t so much aligned with wealth management, as far as I understand it.

All this to say - you’re probably not going to get $163k starting out.

My buddy works for PWC in NYC. He has an MBA from NYU. Insanely smart guy who also has masters in chemical engineering and used to work for pharma companies. He probably makes $163k and he’s 32.

that was just what the state website said for the budgeting project. Def not expecting that unless i’m a analyst at a top firm working like 80hrs a week plus bonus and even then it’ll maybe be 150k.

Agreed - you can consult on anything, finance, construction, management etc.

Usually in the business world "consultant's" are the people who get paid very well for their experience in the sector. They're not full time usually, but they have a range of duties with various companies at the same time, sometimes. Their knowledge is something that is valuable to a newer company or a company dealing in projects that they don't have expertise in.

So i'm not exactly sure where WowFlowz is pulling this info from. Most accounting managers in my area pull 160K. and most of them are 40 or up.

From experience, getting to 6 figures usually takes a decade or more and it entirely depends on your experience and field of occupation.

financial/management consulting in the health care industry pays insanely well and u often don‘t need clinical experience. ofc it helps tho. doing something along those line or working as a analyst or financial manager at boutique firm in Buffalo or somewhere else until I can afford a house, retirement etc. Then going into non profit work or higher ed would be ideal. My friends Mom is a founding partner at a local boutique IB/private equity firm and just hired one of our friends who goes to Hobart and rows. He’s making 27k for Mid May till the end of August as a intern and he’s in the office before 9:00 and out by 6:00, mainly doing analytics and clerical work on Acquisitions and Mergers

I'd say this definitely sounds more realistic.

Budgeting can mean a multitude of things as well. The budgeted pay might be 160K but corporations pay a fuck ton of payroll taxes, FICA taxes etc. amongst many others - those would be calculated for that positions budget in most cases. A budget usually means it's the cost of the employee - it absolutely does not mean it's the earnings of the employee - that would be salary.

Just an accountants POV.
 
My buddy does consulting for the healthcare industry at a big 4. He’s the one I referenced.

No one is saying these types of incomes are unattainable. We’re just saying temper your expectations a little.

Didn’t see this comment. McKinsey is the “up or out” firm. Granted they are good at placing people elsewhere. They were called "the firm” at one point and were traditionally the top dogs but they’re losing their spot a bit. I work with a few McKinsey people as well as people from other big firms. My companies ceo is actually an ex-McKinsey guy.

It’s all about where you live. Buffalo like you said cost of living isn’t horrible. NYC completely different story. Here is south Florida same thing. Your $3500 spending is a tad more than just my mortgage. $3500 would get you something tiny in NYC or LA etc. so her pushing you to for higher spending makes sense with our current economy.
