whey protein (assuming you can't eat enough from food)? Basically you need to hit your protein macro.

yes but cabbage has basically no calories so don't worry about that.

Dude first of all I was saying they agree with Lyle who happens to be pretty well respected as well. We follow the same people. Second of all I never argued anyone needs more than 0.8 or whatever number gets thrown around (I already quoted what I think is the correct, accurate number from Lyle since it is based on LBM -…

indeed.

you can pay for the feature that lets you set daily macro goals, I personally just adjust my intake and stay under my calorie limit (as I am cutting).

which is based on full bodyweight, not LBM, so the end result is the same. They agree. The reason this is dumb is that that page says a 500lb fat person should eat 365g of protein a day. This does not make sense.

that calculator is for people who know nothing about their levels. If you are a coach you should have a far better grasp on what you need than a simple calculator can provide you. I am just a normal guy but I manipulate my diet daily according to my activity, as should you.

this is fine, but I think eating a good amount of protein every day is worthwhile (your body relies on amino acids to repair your muscles on rest days). You should cycle carbs up on your work days and down on your rest days if anything.

so you already know your maintenance level. Plug that into the calorie goal section and leave the exercise at sedentary. You don't need a calculator to tell you what to eat.

are your kidneys damaged? No? Then show me something that says healthy people will damage their kidneys eating protein. http://www.precisionnutrition.com/high-protein-safe-for-kidneys

is the issue that you don't want to be in a deficit?

yes. http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/protein-intake-while-dieting-qa.html/

don't worry about the numbers too much at first, adopt the diet and weigh yourself. If you are losing too quickly after 3 weeks then up your calories by 10%. This is not an exact science, you have to change based on results.

...and we don't care about water weight. I should have said fat of course, but I meant weight that is subsequently hard to lose.

essentially the take-away is that lots of protein is fine in the majority of cases, barring a medical issue.

you did not read my post.

why would you gain weight? You only would if you eat more than you burn. Carbs are not magical fat-gathering particles.

I don't think anyone is calling you dumb, we are trying to help you optimize your plan for your goals.

and Lyle also does not say eating above that is pointless: "Please note that this value is simply a minimum and dieters may still find that higher protein intakes are beneficial from a hunger blunting effect or what have you"

Any good researcher such as the ones you mention base protein intake on LBM, not bodyweight, so not sure where you came up with that. Lyle says "it was eventually found that a protein intake of about 1.5 g/kg of lean body mass was necessary to spare LBM losses in a non-training obese individual consuming low calories." and…

bench is an easy exercise to hurt yourself on. Don't be afraid to deload to work on form. I suggest people get a 1-on-1 consultation with a powerlifting trainer (find a powerlifting gym, not just some guy at a fitness gym).

crunches, planks, ab roller, squats, hanging leg raises, oblique twists, deadlifts. You will need to eat more of course to build muscle.

you will lose muscle.

do you still smoke?

while processing alcohol the body will not use food as energy, it all gets stored as fat essentially (well, carbs and fat do, not lean protein). Basically everything you ate during the day and everything you ate after drinking is being stored. That being said, one week is not enough data to accurately predict anything.

Try it and see, you won't suddenly get fat overnight. If you find you are putting on weight as fat then recalculate. In general you can't add muscle and lose fat unless you are obese. However, you need to eat to fuel good workouts. You need to prioritize weight lifting. Get a good progression program and stick to it, you…

There is no such thing as toning. You gain muscle, lose fat, or both. That makes you look good. Do your program for a couple of months then evaluate if you are getting the results you want. You will not get bulky without specifically training for that and eating for that, it takes long hard workouts and eating tons of…

I started at 40, set up a home gym with rack, did stronglifts, then progressed to 5/3/1. Hit 1.5x my bodyweight on squats yesterday. All lifters should check out http://symmetricstrength.com/ it is awesome for relative age-adjusted strength standards comparisons and logging.
