I will also tell you the database MFP has is very inaccurate!

Use a heart monitor that calculates calories burned is your best option. I myself do not track calories burned from weightlifting, the after burn alone makes it hard to know how many calories are burned. Then there is intensity, if it's full body or a split, so on so forth.

As long as you eat enough calories.

Yes you can, UNLESS you can't eat enough, look at professional sport athletes. These men and woman do tons of cardio and don't lose weight, unless they want to.

It's insignificant, unless you have no energy.

True, but we are talking about a bulk, and when gaining weight one should go by measurements as mass distributes all over the body even as body fat percentage goes up its still better to go by pictures. the person opinion of themselves and measurements, not what a scale says. Hense why the person said don't worry about the…

The person that was quoted never mention body fat percentage just weight. "it doesn't matter how much you weigh, what's important is that you up your calorie intake."

How much a person weighs and how much body fat percentage a person has are two different things. I believe the person you quoted was implying don't get caught up in the scale number which makes sense since high or low weight doesn't necessarily mean they have high or low body fat percentage.

I see people outrun a bad diet all the time, I actually did it in High-school myself.

I honestly think a re-comp is better for your situation. The reason, it seems your cut is not working as your expectations. If you bulk it's likely you'll gain you some muscle, but once you to have cut again you'll be back to square one as you're already having an issue with going lower weight. Bulking and cutting can mess…

Exactly, and not be some paper trainer. Trainers have to actually train people with results, relying on trial and error, using a idea as a guide not the say all..

You would think as a trainer, you'd learn more from being in the field itself.

looking good.

I honestly would only eat back if you are at maintenance or during a bulk, but that is just me.

double post.

1.This is not a debate thread, or the debate section. 2. I have read the rules and will start reporting if needs be. 3.This was a question about others using the product and their experiences. The thread topic is about Apetamin, because someone talked about a belt doesn't mean the thread gets derailed to talk about if that…

Arguing if something works or doesn't for someone without any proof that is does or does not is childish and gives nothing to this post. Replying by add nothing to this discussion no matter if you disagree is against the rules (aka trolling) as no one will win. So as a moderator please start enforcing the rules!

The information is not wrong if it works for them. As they are not saying the product is the cause they are just using it.

Exactly a public forum. In which you don't have to read anything you don't like. It's not like they are telling people to use the products, they are just sharing what is working for them.

It's been 4 weeks and no weight loss or gain? So, even though you might be 500 below what mfp says, that 500 below is your real maintenance. So, I would suggest adding one shake a day for 200-250 calories since 500 seems to be a lot for you from what I gathered from what you wrote. Later add more as you get comfortable,…

So don't read it if you disagree. Even if this is just placebo it is working for them. Move on.

General answer, it depends on the individual and what their goals are and the approach they take to get those goals. Reality, there is no yes and no answer. Many ways " to skin a cat!"

Sounds like you gained some lean mass. It can happen no matter what the people on this forum think. Everyone is different. Although, it won't always be that way, you'll eventually lose weight.

Cheat Meals, or days help a lot of people stay on track for their goal. Just remember whatever works for you is what is best. Nothing else tops factual information from your own experience. Not everyone is the same.

It would be better to use less weight and learn proper form and the true range of motion! It's almost as bad as just running on treadmills! A person goes to run without the treadmill, injuries are bound to happen especially if that is all they use. As the machine helps moves your legs, assistance can be bad. (but that is a…

Cardio doesn't have to be running, you could just lift weights with little to no rest in between. Since you have the home gym I would do this. You have the best of both worlds strength and cardio. Try some circuit training by moving from one exercise to the next with 10-15 seconds rest in between each set. As long as…

You can get two big macs for 5 bucks right now. That is 1k+ calories. :)

Exactly! The reason we know this is people can build muscle on low carbs, high carbs, low fat high fat, but they always needs a certain amount of protien it will vary for each person and should never been over thought. Once that is figured and they get their macros/ micros it's overall food intake (calories) and that is…
