Because they are not able or supposed to be very accurate. If you are using the scales where you stand on the scales and hold a bar with your hands then obviously that it's going to give an accurate estimate of BF%. The idea is to use them as a guide to whether you are going up or down in your BF%. If you are counting on…

Well aren't you great! Although I would like to point out to you the irony of preaching to people while treating food "like medicine" instead of treating it like it is, which is a source of energy. Also, usually in nutritional context, the terms "Dirty" and "Clean" refers to the amount of calories you intake so your…

It'd probably be bad to not go way over. The protein limits on MFP are ridiculously low, even for minimums.

Hard to say. I love the stability and power that deadlifts give you through your postier chain but a few heavy sets are the most exhausting things ever. Squats are good for lower body strength and are great for atheletic performance but I just don't feel as "solid" after doing them as deadlifts, if that makes any sense

They, like most personal trainers, is talking pure and utter ****e. A low carb is not going to help you in anyway. They might as well say go on a low Vitamin C diet (except that carbs will affect your lifts a lot more) Eat a small calorie deficit, get LOADS of protein, continue lifting, do bodyweight exercises and do lots…

In my opinion, a disease should be classified as a virus, bacteria, chemical imbalance etc. which is harmful to a being and that they have no choice over. For instance, depression is harmful to you and you can't choose to not be depressed. You can, however, choose to eat less calories than you burn. I'm no doctor but I…

How exactly does saying this, make them morons?

It's simply a saying that people say. As people have said, most people mean volume when they say it. Even if they don't mean that, it doesn't do any harm. If a person says a pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat, it's not going to cause them to eat a 300 calorie surplus and become over weight. The only people…

If the weight is too heavy, lower the weight simple. If you take a break, you're simply doing more sets so of course it's alright. As said, 10-12 reps per set is for muscle endurance. If you want to build strength or hypertrophy, increase the weight and do 5-8 reps per set

Probably the best post in the whole thread. Just like someone said you can't gain 2lbs in 24 hours, retaining 2lbs of water (almost a litre) in 24 hours is almost impossible. It's could be a huge amount of factors. Inaccurate scales, the time you weighed yourself, when you ate your meals, the clothes you were wearing etc.…

Upping your intake by a few hundred calories won't speed up your metabolism, in fact you'll almost definitely lose weight slower. You have to look at it as an investment. Keep going with 1200, you'll lose motivation, start binging and put weight back on. Up your calorie intake to a comfortable deficit and you'll lose…

No offence, but if you don't like it, why did you bother posting? Are you just looking for it so you can complain about it? As for the plataeu thing, what I said is pretty much common sense, or at least it should be

Two things: 1. It is as simple as burn more calories then you consume. Or should I say, consume less calories then you burn. It's simply impossible to not burn fat by doing that. It's doing it right that people find hard. Unless of course you're starving yourself and you're body goes into "starvation mode". But even then…
