You can only control the amount of fat that is being burned, not the spots. Your body will always burn the fat all over your body. Some areas more than others. If you want to build a bigger calorie deficit then you should do more cardio. You can burn way more calories with cardio because you can do it for longer times, use…

The goal is to exhaust your body / muscles. Not to the point where you hurt yourself, but to the point where you need ~1-1.5 days of rest before you train that muscle group again. You should struggle to do the last rep (but in good form!), The # of reps depends on your goals. The extremes are 1 (pure strength) to ~15(size,…

I cycle, swim and do "Starting Strength". I usually alternate between SS, cycling, rest day, SS, cycling, rest day, rinse repeat ... Current goals are: losing weight, BF% <15% and maintaining lbm. Will shift toward gaining lbm once I reached my goal weight.

Both are really good/precise. I would base my decision on what is important for you: like offline training tools, data transfer, design etc. HRM can be an extremly valuable tool! When I started cycling I plateaued for a long time. I just couldn't get any faster. Until I bought me my first HRM and found out that I always…

Heart rate monitors are pretty useless for calculating the calories that you burn during weightlifting. They can give you an "ok" indication for "cardio" but that's it. You don't burn many calories during weight lifting anyway. The positive effects are others: you get stronger, higher bone density etc. I wouldn't worry too…

100g pasta raw/uncooked ~365kcal 100g pasta cooked ~150kcal I prefer to measure pasta uncooked. It's easier. I use 100g-125g per person as a side dish.

Why do you want to become vegetarian? Why do you want to cut out dairy products? Try to get your carbs from veggies, fruits etc. Don't go vegan unless you know what you're doing! Vegan is a very difficult lifestyle.

Good decision that you went to a doctor! Hope everything is well. You stopped logging your food in september. Why? Losing steadily 1-3lbs/week sounds like a lot to me. I looked at your diary and you had a lot of days where you barely ate over 1200kcal but exercised on top. So in the end you probably had a deficit…

Sorry but this a lol-worthy study. First of all the sample size is LOL. A group of 20 people is not enough to draw any conclusions. And they are giving those guys 800kcal/day for 12 weeks? Seriously? But the biggest flaw is that the cardio group trains more often and longer than the resistance group. So on top of eating…

Read my first post. I stated that cardio burns more calories. Your linked article confirms that. Your body will not get rid of muscles that you need to do your exercises. So if you go from sedentary to "cardio" you will not lose any lbm that is actually needed. If you go from lifting to pure cardio you'll lose muscles/lbm.…

Thanks for the link. Here a direct quote:

*sigh* "Cardio" can be strength training too. You just need to set the resistance high enough. Oh wait ... then it's not cardio anymore. UCWIDT?

"Cardio" burns more calories than strength training.

I am confused. How do you do "11 min" of strength? Which exercises did you do?

Check this thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/803997-picture-of-4-yr-old-of-what-the-school-calls-obese LOL @ bureaucrats checking growth charts. What a stupid world.

Listen to your body. Don't eat when you are not hungry. If your body prefers to eat later in the day then just skip breakfast. Don't be afraid to skip breakfast. Read this: http://www.leangains.com/2010/10/top-ten-fasting-myths-debunked.html Try intermittend fasting. It may work for you. Some people live better on fewer…

No. IMO you can do more damage than good. Especially while they are still growing. Sometimes kids just need a crazy amount of calories.

You are purposefully misleading here and twisting Bernadette's words around. Calorie is just a unit to measure of energy. It has NOTHING to do with proteins, carbs, fat etc. The only thing you can do is measure the energy contained in 1g of protein, carb and fat etc. Protein contains 4 calories per gram Carbohydrates…

It doesn't matter. Google "Twinkie Diet". Mark Haub, a nutrition professor at the cansas state university lost 27lbs only eating twinkies and supplementing with vitamins and protein when necessary. Interesting statement by Mark Haub: "I wish I could say the outcomes are unhealthy. I wish I could say it's healthy. I'm not…

Trollololol still going strong I see.

EDIT: lol troll

Normal workout is ~450kcal Cycling during summer easily ~1300kcal (2h+, hilly area)

A neopren wetsuit so I can swim outdoors when it's really cold :)

What I do: - drink a glass of water - drink a tea - eat a carrot (works for me, probably not for everybody) - do some form of exercise

Broscience, bodybuilders and especially the supplement industry will tell you that you need 1g - 1.5g per lbs lean body mass. Most official recommendations are way lower.
