Not very satiating unless you start adding fruit, oatmeal, peanut butter, shot of olive oil and then it can become a meal...but personally I would stay with whole foods and only use protein shakes as a supplement when you are unable to meet your daily protein requirements.

Lighter weight + more reps = HYPERTROPHY Heavy weight + lower reps = STRENGTH Mind = blown on how many people give opinions yet have no scientific data to back it up.

Heavy weights on a low rep range = Strength Lighter weights on a higher rep range = Hypertrophy (Getting bigger)

Doing random exercises will give you the following results: Build your body proportionally and as suggested get a proven workout. Starting Strength, All Pro's, 5x5 and New Rules is a good start

um YES Lets say his 180lbs at 15% body fat which is highly unlikely but anyhow. Protein Intake: 180*0.75 = 135 which equates to 135grams of protein (540 Cals) Fat Intake: 180*0.4 = 72 grams of fat (648 Cals) 648+540 = 1188 Cals So you are telling me he has no carbs at all? Catabolism FTW.

"Weight Loss" and "Fat Loss" is two different things, with such a low calorie intake you are clearly just a smaller version of the 210 lb you.

You got to love DOMS (Delay Onset Muscle Soreness) =P You can either dose with L-Glutamine or shower alternating between warm and cold water. Luckily your body adapts after a few weeks of strenous exercise and you would hardly experience any DOMS.

To lose at a healthy rate yes, but to make the most of it is is HIGHLY advisable to lose at 1lb a week as to retain as much muscle mass as possible to ensure you keep the weight off when reaching your goal. 1) 500 cal deficit 2) high protein & fat, rest carbs 3) ? 4) profit

Her TDEE (Total daily energy expenditure), the 1.3 is her level of activity

End result?

OP - Why on earth are you checking him out? You should be rocking some music and lift some iron, not judge others. Leave him be and focus on yourself, for all you know some gym rat is saying the same stuff about you in another forum or better yet this guy is talking about his new found creeper at the gym that is stalking…

Less carbs, more protein and fat......water retention is cause due to higher carb and sodium intake.

Meal frequency and nutrient timing is irrelevant unless you are a serious athlete. Have your protein shake whenever you want as long as you meet your calorie goal for the day.

Any kind of cleanse is actually detrimental to your healthy as your body is already good at filtering and getting rid of toxins, best is to drink water and eat fiber as to aid the process.

Common sense would dictate that by drinking more water and eating vitamin enriched fruit and fiber would be the best "cleanse" for your body.

Even when eating your exercise cals back on MFP you will maintain a daily deficit of at least 500 cals. Yes it would have been counter productive if you have eaten your deficit as the golden rule to weight loss is cals in < cals out, but this is not the case on MFP. The reason why it is suggested to eat back your exercise…

Does wonders to the smell of your urine and other protein sources :laugh:

Where in SA are you from? I used to live in Cape Town but doing my training in Ohio before going to Australia. There is quite a few peeps from SA.

Guess your goal is to look skinnyfat with no muscle mass at all?

No you are not as 1-2 grams of protein per lb of lbm is still acceptable, if you are really obese you can even go with 1 gram per lb of bodyweight

1 - 2g of Protein per lb of lbm and 0.45g - 1g of fat per lb of bodyweight.
