Eating different macros have nothing to do with weight loss or weight gain. However, eating protein at night is preferable to carbs because your body uses carbs for energy and protein for maintaining and building muscle. When you eat carbs at night, a few hours before sleeping, they will go to waste and store as fat creating a higher bodyfat content. Protein at night will help your muscles rebuild. Depending on your body fat currently and level of exercise, these tips may only cause a small change in body composition.

I always get rum and coke zero. The healthiest way to drink is pure liquor, with 0 cal mixers! 

Well there are tons of claims about these tasks raising metabolism, so there must be some type of research done to back these up. I would also believe a lot of it may be marketing hype but there must be some type of evidence.

You are probably over estimating the cals on the bike a little bit. Probably closer to around 300-350. And its impossible to eat under 500 cal and gain weight for ANYONE. The only thing I can think of is your drinking pepsi non stop. I mean, if you have 10 glasses of pepsi that's about 1000 calories. Force your self to eat a big breakfast every morning, make it part of a routine. If your snacking, I would stop and try to only eat balanced means.

Your protein is set at 60g because you are using the calorie counter recommended macros which is 50% carbs, 30% fat, and 20% protein. But if your cutting and want to retain muscle you can change these macros to match your needs. Im following a 30% carbs, 25% fat, and 45% protein. But like I said the max protein you should use that's still beneficial is 2g per lb of lean body mass. Good luck

I think a binge meal would be 2000cal +. This meal would only be OK if you didn't eat all day haha, but most likely this would not be the healthiest meal.

The only thing that will lead to weight gain is calories and nothing else. If your trying to lower your body fat you do not want to eat to many high sugar fruits, but this is only if your attempting to achieve the lowest body fat possible. If you don't want to be on the level of a bodybuilder, don't worry about it 

I also agree with bierorama. Ive done multiple half marathons+, and have used Hal Higdons training twice. Its a great program, just follow the beginner schedule for your first one and you may even be able to run the whole race without stopping!

You may have gained 1/3 of a pound, not bad at all. I ate about 5000 extra calories this weekend u will be fine!!

If your on a budget whey powder provides the most protein per $. But you really don't need it, any protein source will be good after a workout, especially at your activity level. I use it to up my protein and as a meal replacement when I do not have the convenience to cook.
