This is very interesting and I've read similar studies on high fat to carb diets. On these diets the idea is to give your body a surplus of fats (ideally healthy fats) moderate protein and very little carbs. With the surplus of fat your body will try to readjust and burn your stored body fat in order to reach a balance. I…

I am not a professional or a Brofessional. So since this just a general question on two people I have no idea on any of their fitness, nutritional or health background your guess is as good as mine.

Now that I know a tad more, MFP's calculations in my opinion, are too generic.

Oh my favorites: "That's all your eating?" "You're eating again?!" "I don't know how you eat the same thing everyday." "I don't know how you do it." My response is typically the same to any comment or question Summer is closer than you think or You don't know how I do it because you wont even try

Hi Gerbillama03, Sounds like there isn't a whole lot of listening going on here. I have read the dialog and I figured I was just chime in and try to give a little help. Honestly, the macro settings (fat, carb and protein amounts) are a little skewed in my opinion. What I personally use MFP for is to log my food and make…
