Let's play the dating game... Woman 1: 5% bodyfat Woman 2: 20% bodyfat Woman 3: 50% bodyfat Choose wisely :)

Curious as to why you think that knowing your bodyfat % is not useful. Maybe you're thinking of BMI, which I would agree isn't particularly useful for everyone.

Calipers are wildly inaccurate for measuring bodyfat %. And tape measures are for gauging the circumference of your waist, hips, bust, neck, etc. You're more like 30%.

From whole foods: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/40-high-fiber-foods-you-must-try.html From supplements: * Psyllium Husks, in capsule or powder form * Homemade Fiber-Protein Bars

Even then they are not necessary. In the grand scheme of things, meal timing is a very insignificant factor.

You really don't need to structure your meals around your workout for results. Eat when you're hungry.

How do you want it prepared? Is this for a soup or just as a side for a dinner? I would not rely on the microwave either way. My suggestion would be to peel and cut them like the picture below, and then roast at 375-400 F with a light coating of oil, some kosher or sea salt, and maybe some fresh herbs like sage, thyme, or…

There are a lot of old wives' tales about making eggs easier to peel. Some methods help slightly, some don't work at all. http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/05/the-secrets-to-peeling-hard-boiled-eggs.html Pressure Cooked Eggs There is absolutely zero correlation between cooking eggs in a pressure cooker and ease of peeling.…

I never questioned that from you. What I questioned was your belief that you needed to take creatine and beta alanine pre workout... Which is a false belief.

What are you trying to say then?

You can back up yours. My logic is based on 30+ years of scientific evidence in nutrition. Yours is based on nothing. I'm guessing you never spent time fine tuning your body, going through various cutting and billing phases, or even utilizing +/- ratios to TDEE.

That's like saying chicken nearing it's expiration date is more tender. So silly.

So, are you going to prove you're right or what?

You're not getting the basic principle of my argument. I'm not sure if it's because you are trying to support your own argument, or just plain ignorance. Nevertheless, what I said is the truth. Research until your heart's content.

Doesn't matter when you take Beta Alanine and Creatine. These are not pre workout worthy supplements, like caffeine. These are system saturaters that take time to build up into your system to work.

No, at that amount, it's your weight. 0.80-0.82 grams protein per 1 lb. bodyweight is the most the human body can utilize per day for new muscle synthesis. Don't use extreme examples for this. How many fit people who lift in this world weigh 300 lbs. or more? I encourage you to read up on the most recent studies.

Myth.

Lol at this entire thread and the premise of it. Eggs > Broccoli from a protein standpoint. Not even counting the weight of the foods to offer the same protein value, but the bioavailability of the protein in an egg is far greater.

The excess cardio is the catalyst for the extreme deficit which causes the fat (and muscle) loss. Not saying everyone who does a ton of cardio is losing muscle... Just to be careful about overdoing it to the point of burning several hundred calories (and undereating / not hitting your protein macro at the same time).

I didn't say it was impossible to not gain fat, I said that the amount of fat added vs. lean muscle can be regulated. In the fitness world, we call this a 10% bulk relative to TDEE, e.g. a clean bulk. A Dirty bulk, 20% or higher than TDEE packs on the lbs. quick. You get noticebly chubbier/huskier with a dirty bulk.

Lol, it's not bad for you. But caffeine pills or coffee are both cheaper. What is the brand? Can you link it for us?

Doesn't matter. Bodyweight is easier for people since most don't know their LBM. The calculations, whether using bodyweight or LBM, come out to the be about the same in normal, healthy weight people.

You don't have to be a bodybuilder to be able to utilize more than your stated value. The value you gave is for sedentary people who are not interested in new muscle synthesis. It is a minimum amount for celluar maintenance and such, not for muscle building.

Steel cut has been highly marketed but all it is, is rolled oats cut up into bits, sold at a higher price. Just get rolled oats. Bob's Red Mill is the brand I buy.

That exact same site suggests 0.82 g/lb. as the upper limit of what can be utilized. Therefore a range of approx. 0.64-0.82 g/lb. for lifters is best. Most people just suggest 0.60-0.80 g/lb for ease.

Are you done puffing your chest now, big man? If having tried upwards of 45 protein powders claims that I know it all, then I guess I know it all. I know taste is subjective. But thousands upon thousands of collective third party opinion proves you wrong (you know... other people saying it is good/bad tasting}.

This goal is fine even if you're a bodybuilder. Bodybuilders consume more calories than everyday people, but the human body can't utilize anything more than roughly 0.82 g protein per 1 lb. bodyweight in 24 hours anyway. Since protein (from meat) is the most expensive macronutrient, and consuming more than 0.82 g/lb.…

Same as in 120 grams protein and 120 grams of fiber? Hell no... You wouldn't leave the bathroom. 25-40 grams fiber on average 0.60 to 0.80 g protein per 1 lb. bodyweight if you lift weights Sugar from whole foods is a non-issue within reason. Just limit processed sugars, high fructose corn syrup, candies, processed cakes,…

http://1percentedge.com/ifcalc/ Agree to terms. Use page 2 basic info only. Enter: * Height * Weight * Age * Activity (most people are Sedentary or Lightly Active) * Gender * Bodyfat % (google "bodyfat" and male or female) Skip Waist size. Write down TDEE. -Consume at TDEE to maintain weight. -Subtract 10-20% from TDEE to…
