Wanted to do a progress check in. It's been about 5 months in since I took the advice in this thread and seriously dedicated myself to getting back in shape. I combined the suggestions regarding calorie intake with an elimination of carbs and intermittent fasting and am down a little over 40lbs, sitting at around 158lbs total. Feels fantastic fitting in my old clothes and feeling comfortable in my own skin again, not feeling like I have this bulky gut awkwardly sticking out. Finally getting back to my pre-lockdown form.I know this is the most basic question/issue imaginable, but where do I begin? Ever since quarantine I got out of shape and I want to finally do something about it. I don't have access to a gym, but am looking for decent resources on diets/basic stuff I can do to start losing weight and get back into my old cross country running shape. I don't really trust the stuff that shows up on internet searches since I assume they all just want to sell me shit.
dam bro lookin good keep it upIt's been a while but I've started working out.
Here's my progress so far. I still have a long way to go.

A young male person usually burns around 2000 calories each day, most of it at night when you sleep. High volume low calorie foods like pretty much anything unprocessed and plant-based are a good way to keep your intake under control.How do I find out how many calories I burn while sedentary? I've tried losing weight in the past but it never works, I stay the same (Though I dont get more body mass either). Like how do i find out how may calories I burn a day so that I can calculate an appropiate Calorie intake?
No, you should be resting at least a day every week. Some calisthenics and light cardio like slow jogging or skipping is fine every day if you have that itch to exercise but it's a bad idea to run a few miles every day. If you lift weights it's generally recommended to train two muscle groups with each workout and have a day all for legs.And are you supossed to do exercise everyday? Doesnt that fuck your muscles up? (not in a good way) Like some people say do cardio everyday, I've tried that. But say I do a circuit the day before, then the next day I do cardio and my legs hurt too much, not the feels-good pain you get while exercising, but rather an acute pain on the muscle of the legs. That cant be good right?
You can't lose weight and build muscle at the same time. Losing weight is pretty straightforward, calories in < calories out. Thankfully, assuming that you're quite young you should get your beginner gains quickly and become visibly muscular in no time. Don't worry much about your weight, it'll fix itself if you eat clean (no junk food, processed sugars) consistently. It's also a good idea to consume more protein since that's what helps increase your height.I'm not in a bad shape, and I exercise 3-4 times a week, but I feel like I will never loose weight. Thankfully I've built some muscle lol.

I remember there was a point too where I was doing a lot of exercise and I was actually gaining more weight, that went on for about a month or two with the same diet I had while I didn't exercise. My gym coach told me it was cause my body thought I needed more energy it started saving more fat.
It doesn't help that I'm autistic so I have trouble getting the right position for some exercises.

But agorafit bros, where to look in order to lose weight? I think the first thing is to figure out the metabolism of your body, but how do I do that?
Oh something else to take into consideration is that you may not necessarily be gaining more fat, your body might just being storing fat differently than when you weren't exercising.I remember there was a point too where I was doing a lot of exercise and I was actually gaining more weight, that went on for about a month or two with the same diet I had while I didn't exercise.

Anyways, I have some incredible news to share. I can do 5 pull-ups in a row now. Before I could barely do 2.
Been going to the gym ~every other day for past few months. I'm feeling quite comfortable with my legs&core, but I can't for the life of my make any noticeable gains in my arms and shoulders. Any recommendations for building arm muscle specifically? I feel like I'm doing a solid variety of exercises and I feel sore after work outs. idk, advice appreciated.
