Calories in and out determine weight gain/loss and macros determine if its muscle or fat.
Calories in/out is correct, but macros do not determine whether one has muscle or fat.
However, in order for one to maintain or build muscle while weight lifting, it's important to get enough protein.
Damm right I agree 100% with you maybe the word (determine) isn't the best... Here is an example ...If someone is on a severely calorie restricted diet with macros of 0/50/50 , then that person will lose a LOT of muscle. Now if change example 40/40/20 (40% protein, 40% carbs, 20% fat)that person will reduce muscular loss. And let's be honest the goals of losing weight is to get rid of fat as well improving overall health.

1.Only calories in and calories out determine weight change, nothing else.
2.Macro ratios (P/C/F) determine if the weight change is due to fat or muscle.
So you do mean to still give wrong information on your second attempt LOL. You are still wrong OP.
Appropriate calorie deficit is for weight loss.
Macros are for performance, hormones, growth and organ/tissue repair and function.
Micros are for health.
Lifting (not balls to the wall) is for lean mass retention.
Cardio is for heart and lung health.0 -

maybe the word that I use isn't the best . And yes you need all 3 macronutrients -- hard work and being consistent pays offCalories in and out determine weight gain/loss and macros determine if its muscle or fat.
Calories in/out is correct, but macros do not determine whether one has muscle or fat.
However, in order for one to maintain or build muscle while weight lifting, it's important to get enough protein. Building muscle is slow and takes a lot of hard work and a good weight lifting program.

But that person still has to be doing some form of resistance/strength training to preserve that muscle, right? Take me for example, I'm getting adequate protein, but skimping on the strength stuff with my exercise, so probably not retaining as much lean mass as I'd ideally like to (and yes, I really need to get onto that!).0 -

Calories in/out is correct, but macros do not determine whether one has muscle or fat.
However, in order for one to maintain or build muscle while weight lifting, it's important to get enough protein.
Damm right I agree 100% with you maybe the word (determine) isn't the best... Here is an example ...If someone is on a severely calorie restricted diet with macros of 0/50/50 , then that person will lose a LOT of muscle. Now if change example 40/40/20 (40% protein, 40% carbs, 20% fat)that person will reduce muscular loss. And let's be honest the goals of losing weight is to get rid of fat as well improving overall health.
Alright give it a try ... I'm listeningyopeeps025 wrote: »Sorry I didn't meant to confuse anyone
Im just trying to simplified things up so everyone that is currently working or just started to work on their journey won't over think stuff.
1.Only calories in and calories out determine weight change, nothing else.
2.Macro ratios (P/C/F) determine if the weight change is due to fat or muscle.
So you do mean to still give wrong information on your second attempt LOL. You are still wrong OP.
Appropriate calorie deficit is for weight loss.
Macros are for performance, hormones, growth and organ/tissue repair and function.
Micros are for health.
Lifting (not balls to the wall) is for lean mass retention.
Cardio is for heart and lung health.
Is that a guarantee regardless of workout regimen?
Bro, DYE5 0/50/50 Diet?
We need @tincanonastring to come up with the Peeps version of this.

I have no idea what I'm talking about, but do it! It makes you feel totally bada$$. Isn't that motivating enough? And, and... bone density stuff which is maybe a worry for you with hormonal issues?girlviernes wrote: »Nony_Mouse wrote: »Oh, if someone who knows what they are talking about could please verify that I really do need to be doing some strength work to preserve my meagre muscles I would appreciate it.

yes!
Yay!! Okay, it shall be done
. And really, it will make lugging 10 litre sample bags of midden at work a hell of a lot easier! (interesting fact - a 10l sample of dense shell midden is considerably lighter than a 10l sample with a higher soil to shell ratio). 0 -
