Protein has a calorie count of 5.68 per gram. We only absorb about 4.

Elaborate

Thanks! Nice to be back! I needed a little break!

He's been known to go round for round with Gary Taubes just like Alan Aragon. Here's the thing we need to remember: Nutritional science is still in its infancy. 100 years from now people are going to look back and think "I can't believe they used to think that about _______!"

For clarity let's pretend you want to maintain your weight! Daily Calories Sedentary (little or no exercise, desk job) 1880 Lightly Active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk) 2155 Moderately Active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/wk) 2429 Very Active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/wk) 2703 Extremely Active (hard daily…

2lb/week isn't advised for someone your height and weight. Shoot for 1lb. The MFP way is you have base calories, 1200, then you burn 600, you eat that back. That nets you 1800kcal for the day.

Future serial starter? Seriously though I do have a question! What's stopping you from following through?

I usually work with GenPop clients so definitely check it with a local trainer who's familiar with law enforcement and with good nutrition credentials.

1454 perfect. This is what I'd do: First, some math. Weekly calories 10,178 Training program would have you walking at least 10k steps a day or more. Resistance training 3x a week both plyometric and with weights. Maybe looking into Convict Conditioning for the bodyweight/plyo. Stronglifts 5x5 for resistance training.…

What was your TEE?

Okay good. Here's my opinion as a PT and Nutrition Coach, hire a local trainer to get your lean muscle higher. I personally wouldn't try it on your own. Look for recommendations from the facility where you had the metabolic testing. Did the BodPod measure metabolism too? Or just body fat%?

How'd you measure body fat?

5' 109? 29%? How did you measure body fat%? My advice is to build muscle first for a good 6-12 months, slowly, then look to recomp. @SideSteel thoughts?

So basically what they've been teaching since the Muscle Smoke & Mirrors days?

Registered Nutritionist? Should have specified RDN. Most nurses know jack about Nutrition.

I switched from a Nutrition degree to psychology. I guess the word triggered something in me. Hey if we cannot laugh at ourselves.... Right?

Embrace the process instead of the goal! ;)

Sidesteel 100% A good portion of my old friends have moved on from MFP. Psulemon and Heybales too!

An interesting article from Adel Moussa on the ketogenic diet in athletes vs average Joe's. http://suppversity.blogspot.com/2017/02/low-carb-diets-and-physical-performance.html?m=1

Here's one where they overfed trained individuals with no significant body fat gain. Though I remember Jose saying it was extremely difficult getting the participants to choke down so much protein. https://jissn.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1550-2783-11-19

Lol total facepalm moment! I've worked too many hours today and I'm going to bed! Lol I thought Gross as in disgusting. Goodnight MFP!

We don't really have to dig too far beyond the name of the thread. What does "gross calories" presuppose?

Video? Also, does it happen when you go lighter? Also, where are your elbows? Straight out? Or close to your sides? If you could imagine shoving someone away from you, that mimics the proper movement.

Personal trainer and Precision Nutrition Coach. Absolutely love helping people change their lives!

^voice of reason!

Agreed, however most athletes have basic nutrition/physiology knowledge.

This is an excellent podcast interview for anyone wondering if they should cut carbs or not. Enjoy! https://sigmanutrition.com/episode165/ SNR #165: Kevin Hall, PhD – Testing the Carbohydrate-Insulin Model & a Response to Gary Taubes

Still not advised. You'll be hard pressed to find an RD or RN who'd agree with the above statement.
