so a friend recently pointed out that my meals are mostly protein based: meat + milk + some kind of carb (bread, rice, sweets), and that's pretty much it. No vegies what so ever, though I do take...

It's definitely not accurate for weight training (I read it somewhere). I also recently read that the HRM is most accurate at the 'exercising range.'

So you guys say that it's accurate enough? O:

Arg. too bad, it seemed pretty convenient too. Oh well, thanks for the heads-up

Just to say it, I tried again the 500mL milk for my protein source when lifting. I darnk it in 5 go's - before lifting, 2x during lifting, once after and finished it up when I got home 10 mins later....

My brother recently gave me his Polar FT4 HRM so I thought I'd experiment and play around with it.

I lifted for an hour and it told me I burned a total of 498 kcal, which is a lot I think. I,...

Haha Well I guess I was hoping someone could give me some kind of possible remedy for it. Like the spread the milk out or the lactose pills and the non-lactose milk. Tho lactose pills/non-lactose...

*I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, so forgive me if it isn't (and please do tell me as well)*

I love milk. It's cheap and has lots of protein for fewer kcal (mine is low fat...

I feel like mine is. I feel less energetic when I lift a day after doing cardio. I see lots of people saying you can lift every other day and cardio in between, but I can't seem to find the energy to...

Alrightie I'm good. Thanks! :D

well, point taken. but that's for lifting.

What about cardio? Cardio generally has an accurate account (or at least it seems like it has an accurate account) on the calories burned based on what...

Okay, but let's say I have a very sedentary lifestyle, except when I work out. Wouldn't it still be more accurate to use a sedentary multiplier (~1.2) then just add my calories depending on the...

okay that makes sense so far. But then, if we work out, why does the multiplier adjust? Why not just make the basic 'sedentary' then add to the daily calories depending on the exercise done for the...

This is more of a curiosity question, but why do you multiply your BMR by your activity level?

If, say, you exercise 3 hrs a week, wouldn't it be more accurate to just add 3 hrs worth of exercise...

Well my thinking there was that if I weigh myself 1x a week, it's possible that one the day which I weighted myself, my body retained or lost some water weight, which could lead to me misjudging my...

I guess I've been doing that O: I've also been following my weight through this week, and my weight fluctuated as follows (kg): 59.7, 60.3, 60.5, 60.3, 60.7, 59.4, 61.5.

Would you consider this...

So the 1lb muscle per week I've been seeing is really 1lb scale weight per week?

Also, how many calories do you add to your maintenance to reach this? Atm I'm following a +200 over my maintenance...

So I'm trying to bulk up a bit, but I'm not sure on what the rate at which my weight should be increasing. I keep seeing that you can gain 1 lb of muscle per week tops, but none on how much WEIGHT...

So I lift 3-4x a week and, when I have the time, do some cardio. My question is how to I adjust my calorie intake due to taking the cardio? My confusion comes from the fact that the amount of...

so basically keep lifting, and also slowly (emphasis on slowly) keep adding weight on the bar.
Ofc, also keep the calories in check.

I guess what I'll do, when the time comes, is to still lift,...

@Mdenatale - I really don't like cardio. After about half an hr of whatever routine I make-up I quit. I think p90x would work because there's the 'trainer' who forces you to work hard and finish the...
