You need to remember that your body burns off a ton of calories just by being alive. This is known as the Basal Metabolic Rate, or BMR. You can calculate an ESTIMATE of this online using your age,...
That's your BMR without any activity factored in (which should be a factor of 1.25-2.0 depending on your activity level). Google/search stickies for info about Harris-Benedict equation for more about...
There probably isn't much difference between different brands of whey, if that is what you're asking. Look for a high ratio of protein to carbohydrates (avoid added sugar, etc) primarily.
Abs start showing up in the 12-14% range on average, and that's a fairly significant change. Not impossible, but difficult. BF% isn't a great measure to go by since it's so difficult to accurately...
The question of why you would want to do that instead of just spending $8 for a 100ct bottle of Centrum remains. I'm hard pressed to find any good fresh fruit for less than $2/lb, fresh produce isn't...
1800 is low but doesn't seem dangerously low to me, depends on activity level I suppose. If you're closer to 100g of carbs per day, you're not going to run into any serious health problems from that...
Maybe my ON stuff is too fancy, but getting protein from chicken or canned fish is a hell of a lot cheaper than getting it from whey. I use a lot already and cost is the main reason I don't use more.
rofl @ above post. I have eaten an entire jar of peanut butter in one sitting before, and would have kept going if not for digestive distress. Hooray for food challenges.
Frequent trips to the bathroom are kind of a way of life for me. It's definitely annoying at times, but it helps to know that I'm doing something right and I unquestionably feel better when I'm...
Dairy calcium has been shown plenty of times to be beneficial on a cut as long as you don't have lactose intolerance issues. Fruits are carbs (sugar is sugar) but for 99% of the population they are...
As far as water goes, I drink it virtually non-stop all day, and the benefits cannot be overstated. Crystal light is okay to add if you're having taste problems, but you do get used to it. I prefer...
HIIT that is effective is sufficiently draining that you will not be interested in doing it more than 2 or 3 times per week. You should already be gassed after lifting, after good HIIT you should be...
