      Im not saying im an expert. BUT, when you go from 16% bodyfat to a lean 6.5% i think its safe to say i know a thing or two about it...
      Bull.

      I've gone from 60% bodyfat to 21% and I don't know crap.

      Your argument is invalid.

      Certified personal trainer

      Did you do the weekend course or get "certified" over the internet?:huh:

      I will, I WILL tear off your arm and beat you with the bloody stump if you try to get between me and my Friday evening cheeseburger and fries. It has never stunted my progress (whether lifting or losing), and did not prevent me from leaning down to 13% bf (which ain't bad for a woman). You are just . . . wrong.

      You can put beer in the bottle cage on a bike.

      And that's a proven FACT.

      Science, yo!

      There's a huge bike race in philadelphia every year, that goes through Manayunk (they call it the Manayunk Wall) and it's a huge party, and the cyclists are able to get a nice refreshing vitamin and electrolyte supplement (read: BEER) to help them out. It's awesome!

      Hello there.

      I agree with the thread starter regarding fast foods. Some foods in McDonalds have an okay macro content except for.. Sodium. Yes, I might eat fast food if it fits on my macro for the day but the sodium content will just really make you stay away. Most of those burgers give 1000 mg of sodium per serving or even more. You wouldn't want to finish up your day with 3000 mg+ of sodium whew that will only cause water retention. Even if what you ate had small amount of fat and carbs but their sodium goes past beyond what you need for that meal it will be a factor to losing weight.
      Water is not fat.

      And I eat around 700-1,500 mg of sodium a day on average, so one day of 3,000 is not going to hurt me overall. People who are not hypertensive don't need to worry so much about sodium.

      LMAO, wow people calm down. Just saying that if you are going to the gym trying to achieve a certain goal, nutrition should be the first priority.

      Where'd you get the tat on your right shoulder?

      And what are your RMs?

      If you choose wisely what you eat from there I don't see an issue. 6 piece chicken nugget has 420 calories. If you can eat just that then its not that bad

      I'm sure BB.com had their way with him and sent him away crying a short while ago.

      Just what I was thinking man! He's got that broscience attitude that smacks of BB.com.

      I have a question? Are you still a certified personal trainer if you have 0 clients? Like if people can't stand you and would never pay for your advice, can you still claim the title?

      Just wondering...

      I've heard of this (went to college in Philly) - plus lots of (running) races where I live have free beer afterwards :)

      Oh good. The forums have been really boring the last couple of days. We needed a little more soap box.

      Its not fat but your body which has a lot of water content will affect your weight. Water weight is usually one of the reasons why our weights usually fluctuates. People don't need to be hypertensive to worry about sodium. In the long run it will lead to problems if you constantly go over the usual. Then again, as you've said one day of 3,000 mg will not hurt you overall but in the long run if you continue it will.

      I don't make a habit of following random people home from the gym, so I have no idea what they eat.

      LOL!

      Besides, what's wrong with getting grilled chicken, or a salad from one of those places? I don't really like fast food places, but when I'm in a hurry and hungry sometimes there's not much of a choice.

      I disagree with this.

      me too. any fast food is pretty much terrible for you over the long run. you can get much better nutrients out of real food that you have prepared yourself.



      What I don't get even more than the fast food thing. People who come into the gym reeking of smoke. People who smoke right outside the gym doors when they leave. Isn't smoking counterproductive? How do you breathe right when you've just sucked down a cigarette right before your work out.
