1300 is my plan for today but I also plan to eat 5,000+- later in the week :) Cutting calories or cycling like this is not really necessary to start off with. Eat at a slight deficit and focus on lifestyle changes, just saying

Eating carbs at a certain time is a bro fact! 1) Go to bed hungry and you will wake up skinny! : Seriously, your total caloric intake means nothing as long as you follow this magical bro fact that can be applied to all despite our metabolic differences. See my BRLog!…

Having an evil villain makes for a better story! - Bro fact. Something as simple as eating less and occasionally more is way too complicated.

My body r-ejects some portion of most foods... Nothing new :D Just sayin

Makes me hungry!! I would try it once. No guarantees about a second attempt :)

The Bro, truly follows the Paleo diet! The only way to be monolithic is to eat paleolithic

Bro knows that farm to table and slow food help burn fat!

Keep it up and start doing something different at the same time. Eventually you will see results and can attribute it back to the 4T's - Bro Fact!

Can I add your research (curve for weightloss) to my Bro-fact blog?

Hahaha! That's a great idea! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/_Bro/view/brlog-part-i-so-you-want-to-be-a-bro-179675 The squat rack is the only place to do curls :)

Hmm, good point. Let's see.. Real bros only get their protein and casein from shakes to prevent instant starvation mode? Lol - you post a rant on it Bro, :)

3) Bulking – it’s so easy it has a cutesy *kitten* name! Bro’s know not to work out too hard as it’s all too easy to end up looking like a figure in one of those fitness (muscle) comic books. Remember the 4Ts of proper training: Talking, Tweeting, Texting and Tv. Incorporate this into your training and you’ll be on your…

2) Starvation mode is instant. To prevent becoming your own snack, one should calculate the required caloric intake and divide into AT LEAST 6 meals. Serioulsy! The biggest BRO's out there eat 12 meals with only 350 calories. Yes it's time consuming and stupid but get over it. Do you want to be a bro or not, bro? All other…

Spandex is not "Bro" approved!

Being lower on the food chain would effect my perspective on this :)

A cheap multi vit can't be bad and calcium if you don't get it from food regularly...

How about a fail list? Umm, I have spent money on glutamine and didn't notice any measurable benefits. Waste of money from my pov

Cyclical diets are effective but a pain in the ar$se. Furthermore, I think that they are more diffiicult to stick to if you are starting out.. So, if you are skinny fat and just starting a diet make small lifestyle changes and eat at a slight deficit and occasionally more. Lift weights - resistance training is very…

Paleo is interesting and in vogue. It is a bit too strict for me, however. If anyone has a link to a reputable place where I can purchase t-Rex meat in bulk I would appreciate it :)

BCAA is debatable. The candy versions (extend) are pricey and if you are getting sufficient protien you are ok/not worth it? However, when I run a large deficit and/or IF -- I use bulk BCAA. Taste is nasty but from my own experiments I feel less hungry and seem to have better recovery. Also BCAA triggers a slight insulin…

Over feeding is anabolic :) I'm not very fat and eat in the 4-5,000 cals on a full day of rest / no workouts. Bro science - I am my own test subject :)

On big meal can work and so can multiple meals. It's the macros and total energy consumed that matters most. It's important,however, to realize that your body makes adjustments based upon eating patterns (hormones/gerlin/leptin) . It trigger s responses like hunger and saiety/fullness. In bro terms, f you go with multiple…

No Idea about this one but it was hot! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTWq2WkSUus&feature=player_detailpage#t=322s I finished off with a desert and the chef came out to shake my hand, lol! A free meal and a headband and killed my macros!

I'm not counting the protein bar that I had before I ate before I hopped on stage. :) :() - Local record has not been beat, yet! Co-workers were stunned when they saw me in the newspaper

4,515 ( 3.5 2/3 pound monsters In 15 mins) http://www.hardees.com/menu/charbroiled-burgers/23-lb-monster-thickburger I won an eating contest / 1 year of burgers :)

meh. P90x is okay - I've done the whole program before. Shakeology is a bit pricey. Things I would recommend Fish oil, a cheap multiple vitamin, Green tea, and coffee! Do intake more than that -- sure like BCAA which is a bit pricey and can be argued for or against. Always be willing to challenge your initial conceptions…

So that's it!! I always wondered what those people at my gym were doing sitting on their $!$! All the time!

Should be very effective for you..good luck! I also use a total energy expenditure approach with drop sets. This training approach was given to me by a friend (RIP) who was a strength coach and a monster on the bench. Ie: Volume=Reps x weight. Typically doing 3 sets with warmup, heavy(3-5), medium (10) , light (20) Each…

Assuming that you are exercising, you would deplete glycogen stores a bit faster (stored carbohydrates). The lowering of calories would provide an enhanced effect on fat loss. A longer duration would be required to enter ketosis but that is really tangential as the main benefit, which IMHO, comes from lower calories and…

Protein powder helps me meet my macro nutrient goals. When I diet hard and really cut calories for a short period of time, I try and limit the powdered calories as I would prefer to shift my calories into other "real" foods that keep me satiated : full. Also, I wouldn't waste money on casein in a supplement form - cottage…
