My kind of lady....How YOU doing?
-
I go the snack route at work because it helps me curb my appetite...I also love food...and think about it with the smallest whiff of someone's lunch...or someone talking about. So I'm always munching on little things...150 calories here...180 calories there...adds up pretty quick usually but with my 1600 per day allotment…
-
^^ This. At PEAK intensive performance you typically burn 10 calories a minute...so if you are seeing numbers higher then 600 an hour and you weren't at peak performance...you are probably over estimating. Obviously a fit runner would run much faster to get to intense performance level then someone who is obese and out of…

You can get stronger and lift heavier weight without putting on a single pound of LBM. Gaining strength just means the muscles you already have are getting stronger but you aren't adding new muscle to your body.
-
This. Why do you say you've gained LBM?
-
I have heard this works very well and the people I know who have done it have had amazing results....I just cant do it...its too involved and I'm way too lazy for it. The more restrictions I have, the worse I do....so I just stick with IIFYM and I lose just fine. I may not be doing 10 pounds a month or crazy stuff like…
-
Alright, well thanks everyone. I will stay the course for now, get the bodpod done and see what that says.
-
I currently aim for 35% carbs, 35% fat, 30% protein. I tried 35% protein but I could not hit it...even at 30% I supplement with a shake here and there on most days. I do 1600 calories per day and eat back my exercise calories which can vary from 200ish on weight lifting days to 500-600 on cardio days. As I said, I'm not…
-
I am under the impression that outside of people who have really never lifted...you cannot gain LBM (Muscle) unless at a surplus or maintainance at best and even then it only lasts for a while. If at a deficit you will lose fat and muscle. As far as why the body doesn't go for purely fat, I have no idea...I dont pretend to…
-
That is sounding more and more like self control. If water does not help...it is self control. Just as an addict needs to quit drugs, gambling, drinking...you must stop binging....simple.
-
I am in IT and I think the same as you is why I like to see scientific proof. I dont think it can be argued that when losing weight, you will lose both fat and muscle. That is a fact. What I am trying to figure out is how much of each pound on average is lost as fat and how much is lost as muscle given normal amount of…
-
Hmm not sure if noone knows or if noone has the proof to back it up and are afraid to post. :) Anyways, I'll go by the last example of 95% and estimate down to 90% with some cardio mixed in and no creatine.
-
So that problem is more common than you think. One recommendation that typically helps is water. You may be dehydrated and your body confuses that for cravings. Drink more water daily and then a big glass around an hour or so before your cravings begins typically. You should see a big improvement in your cravings.
-
So let us assume there is a mix of cardio and resistance training and doing 1g of protein to LBM as opposed to body weight and no creatine...what is the rough estimate of fat loss? We talking as low as 80% fat 20% muscle or would the change not be that dramatic from your example of 95%?
-
I dunno...have you seen the bathroom scales these days? Some of those things will put hospital scales to shame.
-
Bump. Comeon smarty pants...you guys got this.
-
If you are looking to add muscle....refer back to my original message. Eat at TDEE and lift 4-5 days a week really getting that burn in....You will bulk on Maintenance...not much but enough to see a difference since you have very little LBM right now. Continue your running but make sure you NET maintenance with the runs as…
-
1532 calories an hour? dafuq?
-
You never said what you goal was. Are you trying to achieve muscles? Are you trying to tone? Are you trying to lose more weight? If you are just looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle, cardio is just fine, if you want to build strength...do weights. If you are that lean...you actually get get some mass by doing weights…
-
Unfortunately you cannot spot reduce certain areas. Keep working on arm strength to help build muscle there and tone...you should see a favorable difference there once the toning comes in...but as far as fat burn...you'll have to wait until you body decides to burn from your arms. I'd much rather have fat stores in my arms…
-
This is the average number for running. Running at a 6mph pace is (0.75 x Bodyweight) per MILE Walking at a 4mph pace is (0.60 x bodyweight) per MILE Keep in mind these numbers are gross meaning you need to subtract your BMR from that if you really want pure exercise burn calories.
-
Depending on how hard you push yourself at the gym....I wouldent recommend working out at work then, unless it simple walking or pushups/situps like I was saying. You want to have full energy for your gym workouts if you are doing strength training (weights). I mean a bit off topic, but it sounds like you are looking more…
-
If it becomes a big enough problem to affect your life due to self esteem issues....there is always plastic surgery. Just saying.
-
Anything you do can help....pushups, situps...things like that....take a walk around the building 2-3 times a day. Things like that. That being said...I think working out at home or at the gym is much more effective and will yield you the results you want. I'd never tell someone NOT to move more as anything helps...but for…
-
I am not a parent so I dont belong in this thread. Now that I said that.....what does it matter? I mean, knowledge is power...if they want to know..tell them...heck if they want to know their TDEE and go by that...why not?
-
195 pounds lost....that is something I cant even comprehend....you are so awesome I cant even put it into words....I just keep thinking that I weigh 180 (soon to be 170) and that you lost 15 pounds MORE than I actually weight....amazing job. wow
-
Oh yeah Twenty Tap is great...I drool just thinking about the Cheese Curds!! If you like greek food, I actually think the place next door is great. Sam's Gyros or whatever its called. I'm curious what place you are talking about that is new in Broadripple....do you mean Sabbatical? They are having some serious growing…
-
lol It is not flawed, it is protecting itself. People with Liver problems cant take that much protein...if MFP naturally made everyone go 1g of protein per pound, it would affect people who are sensative to it. They do it at a safe level for their own protection and give you the option to raise it.
-
You should be getting more rest...and those days are just your body telling you it needs a break. I dont practice what I preach however and I just tell my body to shutup and keep going. :) I also do 5-6 days with no only cardio but heavy lifting...and its alot...after about 2-3 weeks...there will be a 2-3 day period where…
-
You are looking at TDEE incorrectly. TDEE is for your normal lifestyle without working out. Working out should be added ontop of your TDEE number. If you have a desk job, you are sedentary. The only reason to put it higher then that is if you have a job that requires you to be on your feet alot. Things like Construction…
