Hey guys, pleasure to meet y'all.

I'm currently 18 years old, 5'11", 176 lbs and I have a chubby build. I wouldn't say that I'm overweight, but I do have fat that could be reduced. I have man boobs, chest fat and a double chin forming that I want to burn all of. I want to get lean, and get a good jawline.

It's very confusing on what my protein intake should be. I'm on a 500/kcal deficit per day, but the protein intake is very hard to know since all of these calculators are saying between 140g and 210g. That's a buffer of 70g, a huge difference that I don't like. How do I know exactly how much protein I need to consume on a daily basis?

Another question which I would love to know the answer to: Will fulfilling the daily protein intake requirement while staying in a caloric deficit help avoid me from losing muscle mass instead of fat?

Thank you everyone. It's a long road ahead of me but I've had enough of being ashamed of my body. I'm getting in the gym and locking in, I'm tired of being fat and feeling miserable, time to change it.

Let's start guessing.

Hey, got a really weird and random question. I'm going to be in Sngequ this summer, on the 11th floor. Does anyone know the height of the ceilings? They're taller than the other floors from what I've heard. I want to know how tall the ceilings are for decorating etc. Really weird question, I know.

I'm 18 years old, first year student. I didn't study nearly as much as I should have the first 2 semesters and now I'm stuck one year behind. I understand how badly I screwed myself over and how I'm going to be a year behind everyone else (more like 8 months but with co-ops/internships etc. I should be more or less around the same time now that I think of it). Has any engineer today been in my shoes? How did you keep yourself from being discouraged and power through it and not drop out of Engineering? Really could use a pick me up right about now.

I'm taking Math 211 after not doing well in 110 during the fall. Does anyone have any experience with her from 211? How was it? Any tips or advice to do well in that class? Thanks.
