It isnt relevant though. I am using a simple example of a simple sugar vs a more complex carb as your only food source. what that source is is irrelevant. Whether you are taking in other carbs is irrelevant since i said your carb source is being met. I never said all is the same. I said all variables are equal. Meaning…

I never said anything about gaining weight. The argument was about the efficiency at which weight will be lost. I poorly phrased some of this i guess, but I wasn't saying that in a deficit anything is stored. So I guess the simple way of putting this, who is going to lose more weight or lose more effectively, someone who…

Did you miss the part where i said all other things are assumed equal including protein or the part where i said the protein you consume? This is purely talking about carbs. And yes no one is eating just one of these things that is a given or at least I thought it was. But why, in an example would I need to define all…

I use it quite often. works great with any kind of potato(not sure about mashed ;) ) or anything that is typically deep fried. ive not used it for raw meat but it has a setting for it

One thing ive started trying is cook all of my protein in on go. dont need to season it or anything just plain cuz you can mix it later then cook the carb when you're about to eat or that day. helps pasta and rice from getting hard and inedible

This actually sounds like a small herniation to me, though I am not a doctor. Pulled muscles dont usually last that long(unless you tore something and it didnt heal properly)

yea my target is around there. To maintain weight, according to other sites, is around 3600. I aim for at the minimum 500 less and try to do no more than 1200 under. To fricklefruitbat, Im 6'1 345 so my calories are a bit higher. Im not focusing too much on macros tho, just trying to make sure im consistently hitting the…

Thanks for your help and advice! I did try adjusting so that around half of my calories were my evening meal. and i havent been as hungry, tho am a bit peckish but i can ignore it long enough that itll pass. I did eat about 400 more than I wanted but made it to the gym today and burnt 460 on the treadmill and did another…

Thanks! I actually didnt know that. Always wondered why the numbers here were so low as opposed to when I calculate stuff out. I have mainly used mfp to log my food/exercise. though for a while ive not logged much

Back when I used my fitbit on the regular(before it broke) my calories burned were rarely about 3600. that was on days I worked more than 6hours where Im on my feet or moving all day. Occasionally, it would hit around 4000 but rare. And most weeks I work 6 days but only 35-40 hours. But I get what you are saying and have…

I have about 110 to lose. Gained 30 in the last year. Im limited to what I can do in terms of exercise. I have a few herniated discs so if I do too much I cant work. so most times I only walk for 40-60 minutes 3-5 times a week and some lifting. but lately have only been once or twice since the back is bothering me after…

Sorry, didnt proof read that last message so left stuff out i thought i added. According to MFP my tdee is probably around 3600 since they are recommending 2600 as my daily caloric target. Other places my tdee is around 3600-4000(activity depending) witha bmr of 2938. Protein shakes i;ve not found a flavored one I like so…

Well depending on if I use MFP or other sites my bmr and daily goal are a couple hundred cals different(~2600 here, 2800 other places) I set up a guide of 2000 with room for random calories(in case i get hungry after eating and calculation errors. I too find proteins fill me up a lot better than anything else(seem to…

That looks like something I could do once I have been able to lose some weight. Any suggestions on the flexibility part? Like a stretch routine and a good way to measure improvement?

Well, at this point I'm not to running. I don't know if my example was the best explained but on let say mondays and wednesdays, I would walk longer distance at a slow walk pace. and on tuesdays/thursdays slightly more intense but for a shorter period. Unless youre saying it'd be better to do cardio in an "On" one day…

I too enjoy reading up and learning new things especially regarding nutrition and exercise. However someones one can get too bogged down in the numbers and forget the most important part, putting it in to practise. If you want to know your TDEE, then pick a calorie goal (it can literally be any number). Weigh and log…

For me half the fun is the science of it all. the more i learn about it the more i feel invested and can tune that way. that being said knowing what i need to do and actually doing it are 2 different things. Im just now getting back to the gym because my work schedule is finally more reasonale and my back has calmed down.…

Depending on where you live some grocery stores w/ pharmacys staff nutritionists. There is a midwest chain Hyvee does. Some CVS/Walgreens do too I believe. not sure about Walmart/Target. But they are generally inexpensive and will help you meet your goal, showing you smart choices etc. In terms of PT, again I dont know how…

calories of an Arizona Arnold Palmer vs a Gatorade. 20oz is 150 and 140 respectively but the sugar contents and other nutritional facts shocked me. I really though the Arizona would be packed full of sugars but it has around half or less than Gatorade. Same with sodium and a few others.

I dont really use what MFP calculates really. I just use it to help find calorie totals and log stuff but use this site's. Im not sure if I am allowed to post the link for the site I use to calculate. Do you mean the MFP database? And so would I just consume the 3028 regardless of if I burn 500 or 1000 calories?

It may be a bit excessive but it also depends on how intense you are going and how long youve been doing it this way. For example if youve been going for 2 months doing it this way but are only doing an intensity of 2 or 3 of 10 it probably isnt too bad although Id change up the speeds/inclines/durations/etc every 4 to 6…

I am now up to around 132-134kg. I have gained around 3 kg in the last month and a half. Think it is mostly muscle since I was laid up so long. Doing a bod pod test friday to be sure. My chest is around 42 inches/107cm last i measured. Why would it beep when you lift?

I would like to wear it around, at least at first, to get a more accurate count of what i burn thru a week. But once ive got that figured, I would just use it while on the treadmill, lifting, pilates, or my HIIT cardio course(pain in the @$$ to calculate just doing it as circuit training for now). Right now I do…

I hear dihydrogen oxide is a great replacement ;) sorry could resist. I would just add lemon to it. I will occasionally go for a gatorade if I have the calories available.

I have bad knees from football(a couple torn meniscus and synovial joint cystsand probably a bit of arthritis) I found swimming really helps. Especially because it is a full body workout. I am exhausted and sore after every trip to the pool. Elliptical I feel are a waste of time, because you tend to just use momentum. I…

Visit every continent(Made it to 4 so far), ~50 countries(10 done so far), speak 7 languages excluding english(speak 3 and know some chinese so far), become an Oncologist/Orthopedic surgeon, go to Hawai'i and South Africa to cage/free dive with sharks(including great white) and learn to surf, go to Caribbean and free…

I found a couple things to work for me. Allow my laziness to actually get up and walk to the kitchen to become greater than my desire for junk food. This worked but made it hard to get myself to the gym(which when I am not swamped with school it is my life so you can see my dilemma) Next, I found a lot of times distracting…

Like a few people have said it is shin splints. I got them all the time in High school football. Still do occasionally. It happens for a couple reasons, not stretching/warming up the muscles enough and the one muscle being weaker or stronger than the opposite(proportionately speaking) in this case the gastrocnemius…

Im not a huge fan of fruit juices anymore, since a lot have more sugar added or a lot of sugar and most of the stuff is lost when the pulp/fibre part of the fruit is removed. But yea thought of doing that. Ill try and find the parmalat milk, ive never heard of it before(have tried boxed milk before and wanted to vomit but…

If you did that muscle group yesterday, do a different muscle group today. Otherwise do thta group because that is how you are going to increase. That soreness will go away, or rather should, once you get it moving. Be sure you are warming up before workiing out and stretch the focus muscles for that day and stretch after.…
