http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/fat_loss_muscle_gain_trick.htm Anyone agree/disagree with this?

Literally have no idea!

Yeah that made sense. So if you eat with in your recommended protein intake (for someone who does resistance training), and not over, will any of it be converted into glucose? Rather than be used for muscle repair/growth. Also for the last year i've been losing fat (74pounds) and trying to gain muscle. Despite people…

Yeah, I think my forehead fat pushes them down or something...I was looking at old photos of me when i was skinny and my eyes just look some much more prominent!
-
Roughly at what body fat percentage did you see the 'bright eye look' ;)

I definitely got mine when I put on 7stone!

If she wasn't eating enough then she'd have lost weight though?
-
^ Hahaa, thanks! I don't, it really takes the discipline out of weight loss!

ah no! I have loads of stretch marks! I was about 7 stone over weight when i first started, loosing...

Is there anyway to know your genetics?
-
Yeah, good advice ;) Was just shocked that happened really, thought i was done with all that!
-
Just ate: tomato soup 4 bread rolls two go ahead bars an alpro soya and a block of undiluted jelly...wtf? This was on top of normal meals that were already generous!
-
That looks a bit gross ;) Cutting it in half, bloody hell! That's a bit disappointing! Thanks for the reply tho ;)

I understand that burn't is a word. I suppose it's just force of habit that made me put the apostrophe between the N and the T. Also I understand that CI/CO is technically a law of physics, but it isn't as clear cut as everyone makes it out to be. With regards to people saying that my grandmother doesn't eat around 1000…

The day I get to lie in bed al day is the day win in on the weight lose !
-
Wow your bmr is 1558, that sucks. I can eat like 3 snickers more than you :D
-
Hahaa, I believe you all. But CICO is a very broad forumla, that I suppose isn't comparable from one person to the other.
-
I'm not the least bit concerned, just curious. I didn't realise that their was such a big gap between peoples BMR and so many defining factors.

She's someone who generally isn't interested in food and views it as only fuel. She honestly eats pretty much the same thing everyday. I've quizzed her on this as well, i'm not making any crass assumptions ...
-
You're right. But it's not as simple as its made out to be. There a huge number of variables on both sides of the formula. Thanks for the reply ;)
-
Okay you've restored my faith in calorie in vs out. But it's not as simple as people make it out to be. It not just X + Y = Z. I naturally assumed that the in vs out was set at 2000 calories for a women and 2500 for a man or there abouts. However, this actualy doesn't have be the case. I think however as a basis to…

Its not just a 'law of physics' because humans aren't some form of bloody battery. We don't process 100% of energy that enters our body. A persons metabolism determines this.
-
@vismal This makes sense to me actually. Is it possible that a metabolism adjusts to a lower calorie intake? Or is that just complete BS. It is surprising that different people's BMR's or required calorie intake can be so far apart. Is this the reason it is possible for some people to be able to eat massive calorie surplus…
-
If someone eats half the amount an average person eats and does not lose weight it stands to reason that their metabolism is twice as effective at processing calories. If that person then doubled their calorie in take to around 2000 calories would they then put on weight? This would blow the whole in vs out thing out of…
-
No, but have lived with her for periods of time and know that she tends to eat pretty much the same things everyday. I don't see why her BMR would be any lower than mine considering I often barely do any form of activity, sitting must of the day, whereas she walks at least 3 miles a day and does the garden. Also how do you…
