(he said profile...you even quoted it...)

But if you don't eat a particular calorie, it still can't make you fatter.

Says nothing about CICO.

http://thecaloriemythbook.com/medicalreviews/ Is still your rebuttal to an actual study? It's a ****ing blog selling an ebook. Are you really that slow?

No, but the cited sources are.

It depends on the basal calorie content of a diet, and for my purposes that would be more substantial than 100 calories, but yes, generally it's not worth worrying about - it just does have some small effect over the very long term. Memory is not serving me the quoted figures for TEF, but I believe protein is highest,…

It does, otherwise it just rhymes with soupidity and starts with st.

Literally nobody has implied that. @Lindsey - yes. Recent evidence suggest protein is nearly never stored as fat, and there's TEF to consider too.

Nope. Abandon thread. You're not a troll, you're just dense.

I certainly hope so... In anticipation of her next article, I've taken the liberty of creating this link: http://bit.ly/1lOjSgT (psst... the first thing it turns up is that last blog post, lol)

Those are ARTICLES not scientific studies. This is not difficult.

ginal59 - why would he eat 5000 calories of doughnuts? You're the one trying to disprove the importance of calories, and stating quality of food is all that matters.

This states the human metabolism is not a closed system and some calories are not absorbed, but excreted. If you don't eat them in the first place, they still can't make you fatter, you know.

Oh look another article, with no link to the study they're supposedly basing their commentary on - usually indicative of cherry picking information for their personal agenda.

That's not a study. It's an opinion article.

If you're talking about TEF, it is a very minor consideration. If you don't put the energy in in the first place, it won't matter how differently it is processed.

No it's not :happy:

As you're maintaining weight anyway, have you tried taking a couple of weeks at maintenance intake? I don't know how that BC could affect you, but a change in estrogen/testosterone balance could affect your RMR, so that's another option.

I would try sleeping or eating more to recover properly, and walking post squat session.

"Do better than you" Troubling mindset you have there. Is the rate of loss really your only measure of success?

What accessory are you doing?

Wat

Buy chicken in bulk if you'll have access to a freezer, keep a stock of basics like vegetables, rice, pasta. Fun stuff will have to come second :P

I use the trick of eating things I enjoy, and making them fit into my diet.

@LunaStar2008 - I seem to remember a study (I think) that theorised that fat cells emptied of fat, were temporarily filled with water. I'll try to find it. Edit: No study that I can find, but this article at http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/of-whooshes-and-squishy-fat.html may give some explanation.

Look into Pilates - it was originally designed for people with limited movement.

1. Yes. But there are a lot of factors that affect both energy expenditure and true calorie intake. 2. Yes. 3. You still burn calories when you're not eating. It's energy BALANCE over a period of time, after all.

You have a liver and kidneys, no?
