    My outlook on diet. (Critique Please)

    Their is plenty of proof and research that has been done to prove a calorie is a calorie within the guidelines i mentioned...(Adequate protein) Obviously, 2000 calories of snickers vs a stable 2000 calorie diet will be different...But, that wasn't my original point at all. The only change a...

    My outlook on diet. (Critique Please)

    I'll read the posts later, busy at work. Quickly, i'll note that this isn't a contest! Sorry, i tend to sound like i'm arguing, but i'm not! I didn't mean to come off that way, but this is how i learn. I'll reply later.

    My outlook on diet. (Critique Please)

    Their is no science to back up your claim. Show me an article that proves if protein is sufficient, it makes a difference how fats and carbohydrates are split? It's optimal to eat better carbs and EFA's, but doesn't change body composition if your calorie budget is in check. Health reason...

    Do you always need PWO meal

    Don't eat right before you workout. Give your body time to digest. It would also be optimal to not eat a big meal before working out, since you should be eating afterwords and you could feel full during your training. Post workout carbohydrate serves two main functions. One is to stimulate...

    How much is really enough??

    It's 1g of protein per lean body mass, not body weight. 175g of protein a day for you is perfect. Try to get your fats from EFA's and carbohydrates from optimal sources. Although, in the end it really doesn't matter as long as your in a calorie deficit. (No research has ever proven that...

    My outlook on diet. (Critique Please)

    This is how i see a diet for weight training. Instead of concentrating on how much fat and carbohydrates you can eat, simply pay attention to what you need. For example, we know you should consume 1g of protein per LBM. So, you should make sure you have at least that amount of protein daily and...

    Bread is bad?

    Someone was telling today that bread is terrible for you and that wheat isn't good either...Why is bread not good for you? I'm under the assumption she's implying it makes you gain weight and is unhealthy. She also stated it's converted to sugar, but aren't all carbohydrates converted to sugar...

    Do you need muscle to cut?

    I would rather be the runner who looks really lean and cut with low b/f, because I'm not a body builder. More of a person who wants to be "fit" and healthy. To me, going on a bulk and eating a crazy amount of food is not really "healthy." What's wrong with just eating normal and lifting weight...

    Do you need muscle to cut?

    If you have over 20% body fat, it's pretty easy to lose...I'm just stating from books and everything I've ever read on fat loss. Do i believe you, sure...Although, lets see you do the same thing when your at 14% body fat...If your over 20% body fat, your not very fit and fat loss is a joke. Your...

    Do you need muscle to cut?

    From what I've heard, read, and studied this is impossible. If this was true, trust me i would do it... The only way to gain muscle is to eat at a surplus...

    Do you need muscle to cut?

    Well, yeah that makes sense. But, it also takes time to build muscle and i believe 1lb of muscle is an additional 65 calories burned a day...But, you have to put on fat as well. Keep in mind I'm an endomorph, so the fat really packs on. Lets say i gain 2lb of muscle a month. (That's probably...

    Do you need muscle to cut?

    I've been lifting for a few months now, so obviously i don't have that much muscle, but have some. I'm 5'6 152 and i have a little gut. Although, you can see my top abs a bit. Honestly, i just want a cut body type, low b/f and healthy/fit looking. Not so much of a body builder look. My question...

    Split, or FBW?

    I currently like my routine, but sometimes feel like i could achieve a little more if i focused on each muscle group a bit more...Although, i do like hitting everything Mon-Wed-Fri in my FBW routine. I feel like i could possibly train my chest harder if I maybe did another chest exercise...
