dafuq?

agreed

The intelligent ones read and learn quickly. Some people are receptive to the "harsh" version, some are not. I don't really care. If I were being paid for this, then maybe I would sugar coat things and let my "customers" feel warm and cozy. But since I'm not, I'll write my replies however I feel.

I thought the point was to help people get fit, healhty, and lean. What good is it to not say anything at all when someone is about to go down the wrong track? I'd rather see people succeed than spend months or years doing trial and error with various fads or other nonsense.

However you want to divvy up your meals and calories is entirely up to you. Do whatever keeps you most satiated and makes you feel best. This is one of those few things where the phrase "everybody's different" is actually applicable.

It's a matter of individual preference.

Actually TBLT does exist - it's sliced turkey, (pig) bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo, and is one of my favorite sandwiches. I also love good turkey bacon. It's not like regular bacon where any cheap brand is pretty good; you have to seek out the good stuiff.

OMG why so rude??!?

I go off IRL too when someone is going on about nutritional misconceptions. It's to the point where my wife says that I'm not allowed to talk about nutrition with people when we're out :laugh:

Would this have something to do with how this post was received? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/765837-fake-butter

Lost fat first, while retain muscle: moderate calorie deficit good macros lift heavy

i wouldn't

you need to find some tastier junk food ;)

Counting calories Understanding that body weight is made of many components - fat, muscle, water, glycogen, food, etc

stop throwing out the shell that's where all the nutrients are

As a troll myself, I can tell you the answer is yes.

As long as I can see more than 3/4 of the breast I am fine with it. If it's mostly covered up then I'm like "meh".

The CHOICE is yours entirely. But in my opinion this is a poor choice.

Like others have said, rouding of the back could be an issue. I think back too parallel with the ground is another potential issue (forcing you to basically do a good morning for the first part of the movement). For all lifts, engage your core. Take a deep breath into your belly (not chest), engage those core muscles and…

Appx 18900 from BMR + daily activities + exercise.

The only reasonable way to select a "goal weight" is to calculate LBM, calculate "goal BF%", and then derive goal weight from there. But I suspect most people choose it arbitrarily.

Regarding your question above. Here is the simplest way to set a calorie target. 1. Find your TDEE (http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html) 2. Subtract 20% or around 500 calories You can use that as a simple calorie target and simply eat that every day. You can fine tune if necessary after a few weeks.…

What is your calculated BMR and what was the tested one? Just curious. http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ edit: whoops, didn't realize thread was 7 months old

Usually people deadlift more. But not always. Brian Schwab for example, had a 765 squat, 606 deadlift. (http://orlandobarbell.com/about-brian-schwab-2/) p.s., that was at 148 lbs body weight, WHAT?!

i feel sorry for you

I eat daily

low carb? that's so 90's. the new fad is paleo.

It's a fun gadget but it's basically a glorified pedometer. It satisfies the OCD need to micromanage all the numbers, but it's really no better than general TDEE estimation, then dialing in after a little trial & error. Consider this - the fitbit wouldn't really know the difference between touching your toes vs doing a 2x…
