Sadly this is just a myth.

Yes (US, Cuba, Greece, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, Austria, France, Denmark, Thailand, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Portugal ....) Did you ever lose money gambling?

Depends on where in the world you live.

1200 is just a rule of thumb There are calculators that give more precise minimal goals. Example: http://www.1percentedge.com/ifcalc/ Starvation mode is a myth anyway. Personally I would never suggest a diet below 1200kcal to anyone. But it is just an relativey arbitrary number.

Calories only.

Recommendation for 3yr olds vary 80-100kcal/kg Normal weight for 3yr old is 12,5kg - 16,5kg (average 14,5kg) An average 3yo needs ~1300kcal (can vary greatly) 1l of 3,5% milk = 640kcal Your niece would need 2l of milk to reach 1300kcal. Every single day. I doubt that milk is the problem.

Why did you title your post 'Do calories matter?'
-
Free weights are way better than machines. They strengthen you "core" naturally. If you're worried about your form and have no access to a trainer then the next best thing is to record yourself and post a video of yourself on one of the mayor lifting forums. I can recommend the book & DVD "Starting Strength" it explains…

Probably perfectly normal. Your body needs time to adjust when you raise your protein intake. That's why a lot of bodybuilders have problems with flatulence, bloating etc. That should change once you keep your protein level up.
-
Do you guys even check these studies beyond the summary? This is another bull**** study. They had 10 subjects in total and NO control group. If you have any idea about clinical research or statistics you'll know that the "results" of this "study" are worthless. Btw. the 10 subjects (!) were between the age of 55 and 77.…

No. Your calorie goal is the only really important part.
-
These protein recommendations are purely anecdotal and not backed by science. It's broscience and perpetuated by the supplement industry (for obvious reasons). Don't fall for this sales pitch. Most official recommendations (like FDA, RDA, NSCA etc.) are way lower. Sometimes as low as 0.36g per lbs of bodyweight. It's…

Chocolate milk is an awesome post-workout/recovery drink. Good article.

No. (If you stay under your calorie goal obv.) Too much protein won't hurt you. Unless you eat so much that it becomes a health problem. (Don't worry. Not going to happen.) Don't listen to the people that tell you to eat more protein. It's nonsense. Good read: "How much Protein" by Brad Pilon

1. Find something that you like and WANT to do. 2. Do it. 3. ??? 4. Profit
-
Which facts do you disagree with? Let's go through them: This is basic sport physiology. You can find this "fact" in ANY serious book about sports physiology. So the question is only "how much higher and longer is the EPOC effect of anaerobic exercise vs. aerobic exercise. This study is quoted in your "article" of T-Nation…
-
The only thing you are not supposed to eat is broccoli. Broccoli is the devil!
-
You won't be able to find any legitimate studies. There are non. Read "How much protein?" by Brad Pilon. That's a very well researched book with tons of references to studies. The 1-1.5g/lbs lbm rule is broscience perpetuated by the protein and supplement industry.
-
BMI is the devil. We are all special snowflakes .... BMI is actually a pretty good guide value for average people. There are very few people with a high BMI that are actually not overweight. And those people are not worried about their BMI anyway because they KNOW that they are not overweight.
-
Why should you lose lbm when doing cardio? Doesn't make sense. And I haven't read one study that supports this theory (besides a lolworthy study where they had 20 people train on a 800kcal diet). You body will not reduce muscle mass that is needed. Of course if you do strength / resistance training and then stop doing that…
-
Most recommendations you'll read on fitness and bodybuilding forums are that you need 1 - 1.5g of protein per lbm. These recommendations are purely anecdotal and not backed by science. It's broscience and perpetuated by the supplement industry (for obvious reasons). Most official recommendations (like FDA, RDA, NSCA etc.)…
-
Sorry. This is absolutely wrong. The effects of EPOC are missunderstood and greatly overestimated. Just some facts: - EPOC is not exclusive to resistance training. EPOC effect exists after aerobic and anaerobic ("cardio") exercise. - One(!) study found that the EPOC effect was still "measureable" after 38 hours.…

We need a new thread: "Things that bother me but really shouldnt" ;)
-
This is something all the good trainings have in common. Their base is always the compound lifts. The squat is the queen of all exercises! Nothing more stupid than training isolated muscles (esp. with machines). Unless you have a good reason for it (rehab, body building etc.).
