Ask a guy who walks 6-8 miles a day while intermittent fasting anything

[lvsteven]

Deleted my thread in general nutrition to create this one.

No 50lb weight but a 15lb backpack. Also as someone said in the other thread no this isn't 6mph.
That would be a jog unless you were 7 feet tall and im only 5' 9"

On leg days it isn't ideal...

Why so much walking?

[PhiSig2298]

What's your maintenance, current calorie intake, macros, micros?

[FunkymonkAW]

Walking just to walk, or walking for extra cal expenditure?

[lvsteven]

What's your maintenance, current calorie intake, macros, micros?

I'm adhering to leangains. This particular question has been hardest to figure out.
I am around 17-18% bodyfat according to katch mcardle I have a bmr around 1800. But wtf should my activity factor be?

At work im a floor manager in timeshare. I walk MAYBE another 1-2 miles at work but am on my feet regardless.

So I've been near 3000 calories a day.
Lifting 4-5 times a week also.

My scale is not moving but visually my body is changing and i am adding muscle. Or something.
Because after I started creatine i've seen the scale dip one time to 175 then climb up to 178-179 again and stay there.

180-210g protein a day
200-300g carbs
Rest fats.

Supps are BCAA, creatine, and protein, and multi.

Why so much walking?

I moved from las vegas to lake tahoe.
My job isn't what i thought it would be and housing here is not cheap so i live 3 mi from work one direction... Then my gym is 1.5 mi from my house between my home and office so unless I hit the gym on the way to work it's another 3mi round trip to/from the gym.

Additionally I walk at work another maybe mile... I maybe two if it's really busy.

This is not the type of place to not own or have constant access to a vehicle.

Busses do not go to where I am. I even if they do it doesn't run efficiently when I'm on shift and stops 1.5 miles from home.

Walking just to walk, or walking for extra cal expenditure?

Like I said its functional for commuting and for calorie burn... Good in many ways.

Do you lift?

[kkaustin812]

Do you lift?

You have to lift your legs to walk, so yes.

[HunterCML]

Why do you think walking is such an impressive feat that you had to make a thread about it?

[lvsteven]

Do you lift?

Yes... I was doing way too much before when i was on keto. Some full body every other day = overtrsining sore joints and came. Down with nasty cold....

Came off keto and started to study on IF.. after starting if i am doing reverse pyramid training and being really careful in recovery time.

Day1. Arms/chest/shoulders
Day2: off
Day3: back (upper/lower)
Day4: off
Day5: legs
Day6: off
Day7: arms/chest/shoulders

I do four exercises per body part with my first time being a compound (bench press/military press/squats/deadlifts)

The first set is 5-6 reps very heavy then drop 20% weight and add 2 reps for 2 more sets...

I have to rest as much as 3-5 minutes after the first sets. They kill me.

If I feel I need to rest more than a day between I do.

My workouts last 45min-1 hour on single bodypart workout days and almost 2 hours on the upper body three part day.

But I'm constantly reading and learning and ill change things if i need to...

I never said nor did I insinuate that it was "Impressive"
I am confident it is out of the ordinary so i created a thread about it.

I see. All good.

Just to clarify - you walk 6-8 miles WITH a 15lb backpack?

I walk at least 5-6 a day without trying. College with classes on the other side of campus, isn't really that hard to be honest. If I took a few scenic routes, I could hit 7-8 a day without even manipulating my daily schedule.

Were you not aware that I cannot read or write?

[HunterCML]

Are you aware that there are people in this world that have a severe medical condition which causes them to be that way? My mother for instance is one of those people. She is a truck driver that has bad knees and a bad back from driving the truck but you probably do not care about that case either. Oh well I am not one of those people I am 6'4" 245lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say something like to my mother in front of me. Probably never happen though you are probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would say that to someones face. Just my thought.What do you think. Oh I am sorry you probably do not have a brain. I on the other hand will be happy to buy you a plane ticket to come here and see if you have the nerve to say that to someone I know.

[sawoobley]

Do you love turtles as much as I do? Do you think about your turtles while your walking?

Chad,

I've had a crush on you for years...

[lvsteven]

I see. All good.

Well give / take... I commute this way so have 2 sets clothing/warer/food for the day and usually my netbook...

Curious if you've ever used a gps to check and see. I used the mapmyrun.com app and adidas micoach... I there is also a 350ft elevation change but ppl will probably say that's nothing doing either haha...

I use the same application. In Louisiana, we don't have elevation change though which is something I didn't think about. When I was purposely trying to walk more to raise my TDEE, I was walking probably 10 miles a day or so. A purposeful 4 miles on top of my daily walking routine (to and from classes).

For reference, all of my classes are about 1 mile away from my dorm at least. It's on the other side of campus. So that's 1 mile to class and one mile back. Considering I have at least 3 classes a day or so, that's 6 miles just from that. That's not including the walk to the cafe for lunch and dinner which is also quite a trek from my dorm room.
