Macros matter- how would you know you are in ketosis without keeping macros in check? unless you meant that -caring for only one single Macro "Fat".

At the beach

This debate has been so enlightening. I always wondered that why even have carbs if they are so horrible and what not (ketogenic followers) but it clearly goes to show (from my understanding so far from the thread ) that it'll be a very productive way to build muscle mass if carbs were consumed with proper resistance…

Right now they are milking vegans out of as much money as they can-once the numbers go up -eventually prices will come down too. I guess all boils down to demand. Higher demand, higher volume less price per unit cost. I found pea protein online and it's cheaper. I just have to wait until shipping is free haha otherwise…

lol ok. Carb vs non-carb group -at least agree on one thing which is -for weight loss deficit is needed. If you eat copious amount of calories regardless of coming from fat/protein/carbs -you will gain weight. Deficit in calories is indisputable for weight loss. That remains constant. It might have been that turning to…

Thanks- damn that's a lot of work. I guess I'd stick with whey.

I'd like to ask a question-might not be directly related but-did any of you read animal food labels? They only mention Crude Protein, Crude fat , Fiber content and then micros Talking about dogs and cats here. Most good brands have all protein and fats. That's it some of them have whole grains as well but people say cats…

Ok, I'm just going to creep in here and say -I'm very grateful for this ongoing respectful debate. It's is very good to see two sides discussing in a respectable way and regular joe's like me getting a chance to learn from posted links and studies. Thanks again. P.S- one side can't win. It will most likely end with both…

How DARE you say no to food! Say YES and on your way home donate to homeless. :) Everyone is happy.

July 10 Weight 190.6lb BF 17.9% Calories 2400 Workout No Diet 40C 30P 30F

So, from what you've posted so far it seems you've done everything that people do who fall for the "diets" "eat clean" "detox" trends. To lose weight - you need to eat less than you use in a day. Use your height, weight and activity level -to find out what your maintenance is and then eat 20-25% less than that. I'd start…

I would add you all but last time I added a Nigerian prince and I'm still waiting for my cheque.

HAHA btw that would be his loss-another complain would be that he can't satisfy her. Unless they all are strategically placed all three would be hard to reach at the same time lol

Maybe this was a poor attempt at replicating something that was created in a lab or research study but that is what my life is. I, myself can point out many things that could've been done even better but this is life not a "controlled study". We have flaws and life is not perfect that is what makes it an adventure. I have…

Going forward and future plans Until July 10- What I will be doing now is my carbs are back to 40% protein is 30% and fat is at 30% as well now. I am a vegetarian and I am already very limited to things I can eat/drink and going on high fat low carb limits me even further. Life didn't look too fancy. I used to preach that…

Log entry and final entry until July 10-2016 This morning I had gained 1 lb of body weight. Yesterday , I had taken in 120g net carbs. Today was my squat/deadlift workout. Today after such a long time (6 weeks) I had a proper workout. I understand that first 4 weeks my calories were hyperlow but last two week I was at…

It's based on 50g for everyone regardless if you are 3000 calories or 4500 calories which gets sucky lol for people like me. Ended the day at 120 carbs. Abs are still visible but I'll find out more tomorrow morning though lol I think I could eventually stop tracking food as well once I'm at my ideal fitness level because…

Side note I wish carbs were based on percent not grams lol all this would be so much easier.

Log entry I can foresee that I'd be hitting 140g carbs today. Thankfully Monday onwards is my full fledged workout starting again. At this point I don't really care about being in keto or not because my calories are in maintenance weight is held steady -I wanted a diet break and if I'm mentally still loaded with stress it…

Log entry Birthday party today at home. I knew that it was going to happen in the evening so I kept a huge margin today of caloric allowance. I had an allowance of around 800 calories going into the party. For a vegetarian person carbs are all around me however, it's good to know that most items have fiber which isn't…

I think my log entry got misinterpreted. I didn't get fat or gain weight. Actually since June 17 my weight has not moved at all. It's so stable that it's between 191.6-192 lb lol All I'm saying is that CICO rules for weight loss. If a person keeps eating at maintenance fat won't magically start dropping. It could drop in a…

MFP estimates me at 2300 and scooby calculator does it at 2700-2900 (can't remember exactly) A manual formula used, based upon -amount of weight lost over the duration of period yields 2500. I'm eating at around less than 2000. Still have a lot of margin , hopefully I won't gain weight lol

Log entry So since my diet end , I've been eating around 2000 calories a day which is still not maintenance -I'm 500 cals below maintenance. I have not dropped a single LB -and carbs are below 50 grams a day. So the fact is CICO prevails regardless of which diet you are on. Or maybe there are some other factors in play but…

Yes, lol - although for building muscle people usually need more as in (surplus) but since you'd be a beginner maintenance is fine. Think of it this way - when you are in deficit -we eat 500-600 less than maintenance right so when you add additional workload wouldn't that put you in higher range? You can also go by eating…

So punch in 3-5 hours of exercise because if you follow the program at the very least you would get 3 hours worth of exercising via weight lifting and then you do your running and all. If that's what you did and you get 1944- then that's what you'd be eating with exercise. There is no "extra" calories that you would be…

Google "Scooby Calorie calculator" -it will give you caloric levels based on your daily needs known as "TDEE". You would eat that many calories everyday. Don't eat below maintenance because well it'll defeat the purpose. Also here http://stronglifts.com/5x5/#Spreadsheets Just copy paste the link and download the…

Log entry Since going on LCHF diet -my sleep has improved I think- for example I feel like I can sleep a lot more now-maybe this is just laziness I'm calling improved sleep but I'd find out soon. For example-before LCHF I was able to get out of bed at 5.30 am easily now I feel like I can stay in bed longer. Sounds like…

Yes lol Also any way to make similar things for phone app? right now it's just for web based interface.

Seems like I've been below 50 g carbs all along lol

oh wait it worked. Thanks a lot! you get a like and awesome!!
