  • I think it's highly arrogant. Taking someone elses work, knocking it off and passing it as her own? That "meet your protein needs, then your fat." yada yada yada is from Lyle Mcdonald...

    It's called plagiarism.

    Where do I say 'meet your protein needs then your fat'?

    Also, the concept of macros is not unique to Lyle...at all. If you think that you need to accuse a whole bunch of people in the nutrition field.
    That's not what i said...
    I am not going to say bad reading comprehension, which you have a tendency to say to people for the reasons listed previously.

    How do you set up macros or calorie intake for someone?

    Oh my lawdy....you clarified AFTER you posted your accusation.

    Also, why don't you actually address my comment rather than casting accusations at me...for once.

    Bolded implies you don't do that. So I am asking what do you do then? Since you imply you don't do that.

    And I am asking you where you saw this. You were the one that made that assertion. Back up your claim rather than making false accusations like you have been the whole way through this thread.

    1g of protein per lb of LBM as a minimum target

    0.35g of fat per lb of total body weight as a minimum target

    The balance can fall where you wish, taking into account performance, satiety and adherence.

    BTW that's bad science, most research on protein intake is based on total body weight, not LBM. So this method is highly flawed and filled with bad science.

    The reason most research is based on total body weight is that it is an easier method of measurement. It does not make it intrinsically better science. One of the better equations for TDEE is based on LBM (despite the fact that most research on TDEE has been done on body weight) but I hope you aren't about to suggest that TDEE work on LBM is bad science.

    How is LBM based protein macro setting "bad science" - please cite at least one scientific article that states this.

    You want me to cite one research paper that tells you what bad science is or isn't? That doesn't make sense.

    The reason it's bad science because there is no evidence to support protein based on LBM.

    So I guess that's a "can't do it" - you gave no reference that states LBM based is incorrect of poorer quality calculation in terms of protein need calculation.

    Here is some evidence to support protein based recommendation of LBMs.

    A Systematic Review of Dietary Protein During Caloric Restriction in Resistance Trained Lean Athletes: A Case for Higher Intakes. Helms ER, Zinn C, Rowlands DS, Brown SR.

    This system review focuses it's analysis on FFM and LBM recommendations.

    Now feel free to post an article that states the this LBM method is incorrect or refuted.

    I need to see the full paper.

    When you do, please do check out who Helm thanks in the acknowledgement.
  • She made many violations on forums topics when I have seen them. She has done it on this topic. Yet nothing happens to her. it's pretty sad actually. How the community is, filled with biases. I get it, she's a myfitnesspal.com favorite, I get that. The mods let her get away with stuff, that's very obvious.

    If you have issue with her posts, report them.
    Yes, she's a local fav because she provides value, brings intelligence and frankly gives a lot of herself, what do you bring? So far, I'm not seeing much but foisted aggressiveness.

    I brought more... I exposed the truth...

    1)I already discussed how she is misleading people with her ice cream posts.
    2)Her macro calculations is bad science.
    3)How she's knocking off someone elses method (not exactly but for the most part).

    You should be thanking me.

    1) No, she's misleading no one because there is nothing to mislead. She eats ice cream. That's all there is to it.
    2) How is her macro calculations bad science?
    3) You still have not provided any evidence of her knocking off anyone else's method.
    a) She's never claimed to have come up with any "methods"
    b) She does not tell people that these methods were based off her ideas
    c) She's never tried to market in any way, shape, or form, these "methods" in order to make money or deceive people into believing she's the creator of said calculations, etc

    And the only reason she should thank you is because you have proven that you have really earned your PhD and that your arguments are based on subtle insults and wild accusations.

    1) I eat arsenic everyday so what's your point?
    2) It's bad science because there is no research to support it. Except that one paper that guy posted, which I could only find the abstract.
    3) Go read any book by Lyle Mcdonald

    tl;dr pages and pages of arguments over macros, clean eating, intermittent fasting, or whatevs... but to the original question, here's one way to measure it.

    Step 1. Determine your TDEE with accuracy.
    Step 2. Determine your starting weight (SW) with accuracy.
    Step 3. Eat at TDEE plus binge on a full carton of Haagen-Dazs every day for a week.
    Step 4. Determine your ending weight (EW) with accuracy.
    Step 5. Do math. CPC = (EW - SW) * 500. CPS = CPC / SPC.
    (CPC: calories per carton. CPS: calories per serving. SPC: servings per carton.)

    For greater statistical accuracy, run the trial for a month instead of a week.
    Oh sure -- there are other ways... but I challenge anyone to find a way that's more fun. :wink:
  • *whips out Vitriol Protection Shield*

    Isn't protein intake based on LBM because basing it on current (over)weight isn't really productive. For example if I weighed 245 and wanted to get down to 179 (yes, i said it) there would be no point in eating grams of protein based on 245 pounds.

    Am I understanding this correctly?

    And, you know, I'm just going to say this out of sheer compulsion. A varied vocabulary is not a sign of arrogance. Deeming people arrogant based on vocabulary sure the **** is. I used a four letter word for general comprehension. Fornication for those not offended by diversity of language.

    In my bad science, no nothing opinion, basically, yes, that is correct. Studies generally have not used LBM as the methods for measuring BF% are pretty inaccurate and the more accurate ones were generally cost prohibitive. Quoting g per LBM is a decent rule of thumb to use when giving generic advice that is not catered to the individuals circumstances. You have the same issue with fats as well (a point missed by a certain someone), which is why we note that the rules of thumb are not applicable for very lean or significantly overweight people.

    Once again bad logic.
    g per LBM is a decent rule of thumb. Getting accurate reading for LBM is too costly. So the general population has no real measure of LBM, so their protein intakes are inaccurate.

    The rules for protein intake are 0.5-1.5g per pound. So obese people can use these recommendations. A 600lbs peron can eat 300g of protein a day. This would have a better thermogenic effect than the theoretical LBM method.

    So in both instances the LBM method fails.

You've been such an *kitten* from the get go anything you say is without merit. Instead of a potentially interesting discourse you've just blathered on in a crass and offensive manner.

    So in both instances the LBM method fails.

    You know whats sad? Let's say you were correct. I don't believe you are but... I had no idea and this is why I asked for clarification. You've been such an *kitten* from the get go anything you say is without merit. Instead of a potentially interesting discourse you've just blathered on in a crass and offensive manner. The human equivalent of a deflating, spit filled balloon.

    Lets get this right... I said nothing to you and yet, you sit here and insult me. I was pointing out where the flaws where in what sara said. Okay, I see what's giong on. What I wrote, wasn't directed to you in anyway. I was just clearing up sara's flaws on the topic to help and support the community better.

    Isn't protein intake based on LBM because basing it on current (over)weight isn't really productive. For example if I weighed 245 and wanted to get down to 179 (yes, i said it) there would be no point in eating grams of protein based on 245 pounds.

    Am I understanding this correctly?

    And, you know, I'm just going to say this out of sheer compulsion. A varied vocabulary is not a sign of arrogance. Deeming people arrogant based on vocabulary sure the **** is. I used a four letter word for general comprehension. Fornication for those not offended by diversity of language.

    In my bad science, no nothing opinion, basically, yes, that is correct. Studies generally have not used LBM as the methods for measuring BF% are pretty inaccurate and the more accurate ones were generally cost prohibitive. Quoting g per LBM is a decent rule of thumb to use when giving generic advice that is not catered to the individuals circumstances. You have the same issue with fats as well (a point missed by a certain someone), which is why we note that the rules of thumb are not applicable for very lean or significantly overweight people.

    Once again bad logic.

    Public bulletin board means everyone reads and comments brah. Even when it isn't convenient.

    Says LBM method is bad because inaccurate results from the less costly methods. Then says .5-1g/lb of bodyweight is better, despite having such a wide variance.


    Lololol.

    Only one person that I know could make that logical error.
