Nothing much. Random dude was like "I got all the answers so ask me anything" then he didn't like what he was asked so he flounced.

Hey Chris. Whenever anyone new to MFP sets up a thread in this forum offering help and mentions their qualifications, it's generally taken as an invite to quiz that person, testing their knowledge.
On the whole folk wishing to help tend to just dive into threads offering advice rather than have their own individual threads - unless they have been with the site for a long time and their progress has been witnessed.
If you want to advise folk on a one to one, I suggest reposting this in the introductions forum. You'll get less attention there from those who like to quiz the new folk.0 -

Of course bodybuilders who are well over 200lbs from the 90's with great physiques aren't dropping like flies at less than 50 years old right? And while fat is an issue, it's BECAUSE of over consumption that fat accumulates. Also it's myth that 1lb of muscle burns 50-70 calories a day. Math would dispute it. Based on your stats, your lean mass is 220lbs. I'll give you some leeway and say 200lbs lean muscle. Now multiply 200lbs x 50 calories and you're going to tell me you can eat 10,000 calories a day and not gain? Sorry bro, but your science is broscience.teamknoxdiscus wrote: »arditarose wrote: »Is that all? There are plenty of threads asking for help.

Excuse me?
Welcome, Christopher. Please share some of what you know about health and nutrition.
What do you believe causes weight loss?
What do I believe causes weight loss?
Well g such a broad question should be met with such a broad answer, yeah? Proper nutrition and workout plan.
In detail, I would say I am a firm advocate of muscle gain to support long term fat control and overall health of an individual. I think this is far more important than WEIGHT loss. Fat loss. Fat is what gives us our problems in the general populace, not weight. One pound of lean muscle burns 50-70 cal a day basal metabolic so if you add lean muscle over time it will actually be harder to add fat. For me, 6'4" 250 pounds at 12% body fat, it is nearly impossible lol : )
In short, I think our biggest gun in that battle would be a mixture of how you attack the problem and how long you are willing to attack it for.
Thank you for the great question.

So a typical week on MFP, then. People who want to help usually stick it out and find ways to answer questions. People who were looking to sell or hoping for adulation disappear. It's the circle of MFP.

"Ask me anything...no wait, not those questions, they will expose my crushing lack of knowledge!"

If you're truly here to help, you'd spread fact not broscience. Actions speak ...0
