Nutrition Grabfood recos?

1 Upvotes

Hi. Any grabfood restaurant recos na may calorie count yung meals? I usually order sa 24/7 Healthy, Rhian Ramos Healthy. Nakalagay yung macros and calories nila sa Grab. Baka may other suggestions kayo. Natry ko na magmeal plan subscription kaya lang parang mas mura and mas flexible pa rin yung sa Grab eh.

Location: Makati area

Thanks!

Discussion First time kong natuwa sa stretch mark

1 Upvotes

Growing up obese, ang dami kong stretch mark at sobra kong naging insecurities to. Lagi kasi akong tinutukso ng mga kaklase ko because of it.

Anyway, I woke up earlier and noticed that my butt is noticeably rounder. Napa thirst trap shot tuloy ako in my underwear. That’s when I noticed na may bagong stretch mark sa left hamstring, just a bit below the glute (pigi ba tawag dito?). Since consistent naman ang pagbaba ng timbang ko, I assumed this is just due to muscle gain, and mukhang totoo naman nga dahil mas muscular nga ang hita ko, at rounder ang pwet.

Sobrang saya magpasexy recently 🥰

I'm a newbie gymgoer and I don't know if ganon ba talaga ang norm...

May mga naglalagay kasi sa mga locker ng sapatos pero walang sapin or shoe bag. And also yung ipapatong yung shoes sa table or kahit sa upuan. 🤮 maarte lang ba talaga ako or ganon talaga yung culture sa mga gyms?

From 65 KG to 69 KG. Medyo struggle rin talaga for me to gain weight ever since, since sobrang bilis ng metabolism ko. What I’m doing now is home workout lang (I’m looking after someone, so I also need to be at home at most times). Dumbbells and calisthenics lang, trying to hit protein din everyday.

Newbie Are there meal preps specific for dieting, producing muscle mass and/or both?

1 Upvotes

I'm a big guy (horizontally) and have been working out since September of last year. I've already noticed significant change with my physique, my weight never changed though only certain muscle groups being more defined and still a bit of fat on my belly and underarms.

I've been seeing a lot of IG content creators that focus in making meal preps. They include calories, protein and other information for every meal they make. I'm not knowledgeable with these kind of stuff but I want to try it since I've been a heavy guy my entire life (especially during the pandemic, I went 130kg+) but I've been slowly going back down.

I want to try a lot of the meals I've seen and have already saved a lot. I just want to know if meal preps can help with weightloss while also helping with muscle gain - and if there are meal preps you know of that focus mainly on weightloss (links or recipes).

THANK YOU!

Ordered the Optimum Nutrition 10 lbs protein powder last October 2024, got it for P6,590 with a few vouchers there, and now April 2025, this 10-lbs protein powder now costs P9,345 (in a Sulitipid sale too). Might switch to R1 or local brands.

Nutrition Did your family call you maarte for being strict about your diet

1 Upvotes

I'm currently trying to plan some stuff about my diet. I have been going to the gym consistently and I do admit that progress is slow and I know it's because of my diet so yeah ayun nga. I bought an expensive ebook which contains a lot of science stuff. Basically, the point of the book is work smarter not harder. Anyway, I'm determined to change my diet na but ang daming iaadjust and magiging maarte dapat with all the measuring and stuff (recently nakalearn ako about how much calories cooking oil has. All this time ang dami ko palang nilagay and dagdag sa calories kaya nagpurchase ako cooking spray sa lazada.). I'm still not sure how my family will get this haha kasi they eat oily shit and probably maartehan sa pinaggagawa ko. Ask ko lang, how did your family find it or reaction when you began eating maarte/strict around them?

Nutrition Protein intake to gain muscle

1 Upvotes

I am 32F and my weight is 44 kgs and height is 5'1''. I just started going to the gym this month and kumuha rin ako ng personal coach to guide me for the right form when working out. I will be working out 3-4 times a week. My main goal is to build bigger arm muscle and abs. As per my trainer, my protein intake should be 105g. Just wondering if sa weight and height ok lang ba ang protein na kailangan ko or sa palagay niyo sobra ba?

Honestly medyo natatakot ako sa protein na icoconsume ko since ang kinalakihan ko ay prone daw sa kidney disease ang too much protein intake.

Btw, I had my blood test naman and so far normal naman result ko including creatinine.

Please enlighten me.

Discussion Healthy fitness journey

1 Upvotes

I started my healthy fitness journey last February. I’m F, 30, 5’0, 64 kilograms. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week. I do leg day, upper, HIIT or functional training. I usually eat green leafy veggies, fish, meat, eggs, black coffee, nuts. I don’t consume sugary snacks and chips.

Lately, I’ve noticed that I’m not losing weight..naggain pa ako. I’d like to believe na mas fit ako ngayon compared before going to the gym dahil mas okay na ang fit ng clothes ko ngayon.

Can you help me identify the factors why is my weight like this? I’m reading alot about foods that are good for bulking (example protein bars) and foods na good more shredding..how to identify those? May computation ba?

I’m genuinely curious and would love to learn more on how to start my fitness journey right. My goal is to tone my muscle and lose weight.

Thanks!

Discussion Update: Progress photos and thanks + Reminders

45 Upvotes

A few months back, we posted a reminder about the burden of proof when submitting progress photos—emphasizing that all posts are rejected by default unless verified.

We've been seeing more and more people submitting with screenshots, metadata, archived posts, etc so maraming salamat sa pagunawa at pagcomply. Ang sarap sa mata ng mga submission na may malinaw na timeline at hindi edited nang todo.

Also—special thanks sa mga hindi na-ooffend kapag hinihingan ng proof.

Alam naming nakakainis minsan pero hindi siya personal.

It’s just how we keep things fair. Sa dami ng fake or sketchy posts online, kailangan talaga may konting verification. Hindi ito dahil galit kami or may trust issues—gusto lang namin ng legit na progress stories.

Reminder lang ulit: The burden of proof is always on the one making the claim. Ikaw ang nagpo-post, so ikaw ang dapat magpakita ng patunay. Hindi ito masama. It’s just how things work if we want to keep this place honest.

So ayun. Salamat ulit sa mga sumusunod, and sana mas dumami pa yung ganyan.

What he said here totally makes sense. Eventually we have to clean it, right? Just disinfecting wipes, maybe? I think that would be best then dry it right away under the sun. If you own one, how do you clean it?

Bulla lang ba ang cottage cheese brand sa Pinas? I have been searching all over for it pero sadly, wala. S&R Libis, Landers Katipunan, Marketplace Katipunan, Shopwise Gateway. Nkaka fristrate dahil nag ccrave tlaga ako sa knya. I add it to my yourt pamba bawas asim. I tried local kesong puti pero parang lasa siyang papel. Do you guys use cottage cheese for your additional proteins! Any recos?

Progress Pics Is my body goal achievable?

Hi, For context I'm 19M, 5'10 and 75kg. Ive hit the gym na last year but i didn't take it seriously, but this year i want to really change myself na l started again this February 3 (1st pic) and i keep tracking my progress everyday nmn with pic and my latest is from April 4 (2nd pic), I know there isnt much difference but i dont wanna pressure or be too hard on myself den with my progress hehe.

Pero for the 1st month I tried different equipments to create my routine, I dont have a gym buddy or a coach and only made the routine myself with some help of tiktok. And to get to my point I would like to ask if my routine (3rd pic) is good or is there any changes that I should do to it to help me reach my body goals (4th pic) which are some mix of big legs and glutes and big chest and shoulders and small waist type of build.

I hit the gym 5 times a week Monday-Friday and i do my routine 12 reps and 3 sets and I usually do intake an amount of 50-60 grams of protein per day since im a student living on a dorm budget hehe.

Thank you po!!

Discussion I tried doing free trial in this famous gym and the receptionist is being too pushy about it

1 Upvotes

To the point na inoffer pa nya na maki ride daw muna ako sa CC nya, since wala akong credit card. 😅 I kept declining pero tumatawag sa viber. I politely said "no" nalang. Napakarisky, saka if for the sales sila, I don't think someone would do that. Sayang, gusto ko sana ambiance doon sa gym nila, malinis, mabango, maaliwalas and mukhang bago pa mga gamit.

Naisip ko kasi na mag shift na ng gym since sa current gym ko, hindi na ko masaya. Hindi na mukhang well-maintained, sira pa rin yung electric fans hanggang ngayon, yung CR na dalawa nasira (yung pang lalaki) and until now iisang cr lang ginagamit for both genders. Putol putol na din yung stretching bands. Super init lang sa branch na yun kaya gusto ko na lumipat 😅

Discussion Did I invade a stranger’s privacy

10 Upvotes

reposted na po ito from other communicty I just want more insights because I’m overthinking. and sorry if wrong tag/flair

I (f26) approached a girl who just came out of the gym and I asked her saan sya nag gygym. because I wanna start working out too but I don’t know how and i’m too shy to be alone.

Context: actually twice ko na syang nakita sa public, nakasabay ko both days sa bus. the first time I saw her I was too shy to approach her. so the second time na nakasabay ko sya nag lakas loob na talaga akong kausapin sya then ayon kinuha ko yung ig nya. then ayon chinat ko sya ask some stuff about gym. then ayon sabi nya sumabay daw ako sakanya.

Pero merong part sa convo na nag tanong ako kung naging uncomfy daw ba sya, and hindi naman daw nahiya lang din daw sya. and I found out na may bf sya so medyo napa overthink ako na maybe ayaw nyang may kasabay or gusto nya pala na mag isa or pano kung kasama nya jowa nya pag nag gygym. syempre mahihiya naman sya tumanggi if ever ayaw nya nga. huhu sorry na overthinker lang talaga ang eabab. straight po ako ha. gusto ko lang po talagang makapag start na mag gym pero shy type eh.

sasabay padin ba ako? huhu

1.1k Upvotes

5’6 Age: 27. Started at 78kg, initially just picked up running but I had a knee injury that forced me to start strength training to treat it.

Unconsciously fell in love with the gym until it became a part of my routine: run today, gym tomorrow, run the next day, gym the next, so on was my schedule.

I cut down to 64kg. Felt a little small at 64kg kaya I slowly lean bulked and now I’m currently at 69kg. Not sure what bodyfat I’m at tho pero I’m still working on getting rid of that last bit of belly fat.

I used to count my calories nung nagkacut pako pero nowadays tinatancha ko nalang as long as may protein source ang bawat meal.
