Some good indepth articles from Lyle McDonald on Dietary Carbohydrates and Nutrient Intake, Storage and Oxidation. http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/nutrition/nutrient-intake-nutrient-storage-and-nutrient-oxidation.html/ http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/nutrition/a-primer-on-dietary-carbohydrates-part-1.html…

Dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol aren't linked. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22037012

Yes, exactly what I meant. We all just guessing. People who measure are just closer to the actual that those that are eyeballing. Short of having a medical condition, how good we assess our intake and burn shows up when you get on the scale or do your measurements.

Look under the cardio exercises for strength training that allocates calories.. The Strength training exercises listed in the database here do not calculate caloric burn. They are more to track your progress in reps & weight lifted. Lifting doesn't burn a ton of calories at that point in time.

Years ago I lost 35lbs just with diet alone. But, honestly did not like how I looked. I lost a lot of muscle mass doing it that way. I overall feel much better including weight training and a bit of cardio. I'm wearing clothes right now at 230lb that I wore then, at 210. And they are loose.

To be fair though, that up to 20% compliance zone is true even if you are weighing your yogurt. The nutrition label on a my greek yogurt (and most)t container lists it's nutrient/calorie profile by the gram and cup. 120cal per 1/2c or 175g. Now I weigh out my 175g to get my 120 cal, but that 20% potential margin of error…

Just an FYI but you can change your macro ratios here on your MFP settings. MY home/goals then hit edit on your Daily Nutrition Goals. Figure out your .8-1g grams of protein per lb at target weight (higher end if you are resistance training). Take those grams of protien and x4 (4 cal per gram of protein) then figure out…

5-6. 3 meals and 2-3 snacks about. Something every 2-3hrs. For me I find it works to keep the hangrys at bay.

There is a difference though between saying a calorie isn't a calorie and discussing the satiety levels of different foods. Most will agree that eating bulkier more nutrient dense food for the majority of your calories is going to keep you feeling fuller and less hungry when compared to eating calorically dense, less…

Lets try this picture thing again.

Turned 1/2 the garage into our home gym

I don't have anything specific for age related, but it is a good topic. I will have to look into it. Some basics http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/muscle-gain/whats-my-genetic-muscular-potential.html/ http://www.leangains.com/2010/12/maximum-muscular-potential.html I don't know that as a 40+ set you can't still get there,…

About 1/2way to my goal. First is May 25th ~260 June 15th 245 Aug 11 230

You'll get a lot of double yolkers at first. Hens when they just start laying drop lots of them. A buddy of mine built a hen house for his kids who wanted to raise some chicken.They brought in some young hens. They've been dropping huge frickin eggs. 3oz+ and lots with double yolks. So tasty. For the calories you will just…

MIne was the lack of squat racks compared to other equipment. Always a wait no matter when I went. So I just bought one of my own at home instead. It's amazing. Imagine having the weight room all to yourself everyday. Your tunes, as loud as you want. Pure heaven.

No additional protein over what? The RDA is the minimum allotment for a sedentary adult to prevent sickness. http://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/how-much-protein-do-you-need-every-day-201506188096 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOE2zIg7bN0 For people with properly functioning kidneys, higher levels of protein have never…

Uh, ya. Those are the types of nutrient rich carbs I was referring to. Did you even read my post at all or just jump right into debate mode thinking i said no carbs or sugars are good? Add to those Peas Skin on Potatoes Brussels (even though I personally despise them) Parsnips Broccoli Asparagus and the list goes on.

Where are you going to get your dietary fiber from? Pop tarts?

It would give her an indicator if she liked that way of eating or not. I tried the whole low carb thing and after a week said F that noise, not for me. Even if it does work not worth it.

Hey, there are literally tons of gym bros that lift poorly for years and don't see much growth either. Going from one magazine routine to another listening to all the gymbro "science" and old saws. I've been in and out of the gym for 20 years and seen it all. Doesn't invalidate the study or the science behind it.

That's great. I went to my doc last fall. New doctor so I had to do the new patient exam. Full blood works including fasted glucose, weight, height etc. I was 268lbs. My blood work was perfect. Cholesterol was great both LDL and HDL. BP great. That doesn't invalidate BMI. BMI is an indicator of risk. A high BMI indicates…

I would say that is the actual benefit of that study. Lab controlled results. No self reporting as many of these types of studies are.

Your BIA scale is off and highly inaccurate. They all are. You are over estimating your current lean mass. I would invest in a DXA scan if you are that certain.

Did you read the study? 1 month of hard training in a 40% caloric deficit and they gained 2.5lbs of muscle. That's not a small amount when a natural lifter after a couple years of training is lucky to build 2lbs in a year in a surplus. Sufficient protein when paired with progressive load resistance training does help…

True, but some come packed with nutrients your body needs, and some don't. Now if you are getting plenty of the ones with nutrients having some without is no big deal. If all you are eating or mostly eating is carbs with no nutritional value, that can't really be considered healthy for your bodies long term health and well…

Yes because the dairy cows of today are just like the they were 10,000 years ago. Where would they live? Why would farmers let cows they could neither milk or cull for meat just wander on their land? Oh and the town I grew up on with family run dairies that treated their cows very well were pretty well off. You could…

Sorry, but it has been proven you can gain muscle is an overall caloric deficit. It's not as efficient as when in a surplus and has diminishing returns the longer you have been training until it is more worth your while to bulk/cut to gain muscle and recomp. For untrained individuals with high levels of body fat, you can…

1 whole egg + 3 egg whites. 50g of ham. 1/3cup oatmeal. Strawberry and Kiwi Fruit blast whey isolate. I'm a create of habit. Eat pretty much the same breakfast every day of the week. Sometimes I will switch the oatmeal for another whole egg.

Well part of that, especially if you went low carb and are drinking lots of water is going to be your body flushing out retained water. Beyond that, I notice weight loss first in place that as a rule store the least amount of fat. For me I notice losses first in my hands, feet, shoulders and legs first. My torso is the…

Correct. Fat is calorically dense compared to protein and carbs. Hence you can eat less of them. 7cal per gram of fat 4cal per gram of protein and carbs. Some people find fat very satiating, some not so much. Personally I try to hit my protein goal for the day first then let fats and carbs fall where they will as long as I…
