Because calories don't determine weight gain/weight loss. You're chasing the wrong dragon.

Don't count calories ever. No one should be. That's not how fat loss/fat gain works...

If it did, we would have become extinct long-ago due to starvation. Also, the bodybuilders back in the day...

With methodical, consistent training, I would like to think you could achieve 60% LBM (contractile muscle, glycogen, intracellular water) and 40% Fat of that recommended 2 lbs per month although...

Just keep going with your diet and training, and as long as you are progressing (losing fat) you'll eventually lose the excess. Is the scale still moving in the direction you want? What measures of...

160 to 180g of protein is more then enough, so don't worry about getting more. I do very well on 120g of protein per day at a BW of around 165. Many studies have debunked the 1g/lb of protein as a...

Hi guys,

I just recently started a YouTube channel to cover various topics on health, nutrition, fitness and stress management. So far the main focus is on fatloss basics, and I am diving deeper...

So many different macro ratios, what one to use? Will one be superior than the other in terms of fat loss and/or muscle gain? Most of us should know the answer to that is no. At the end of the day,...

Does anyone buy into this? For those unfamiliar here is a link: http://www.t-nation.com/...e_ultimate_body

The concept being that the higher the energy balance, the better your results will be...

No I didn't, but that would probably work well. I have a hand mixer too, that would probably work wonders, but I literally just used a spoon, and it took me a couple minutes to prepare. Very filling...

Just came up with this, but perhaps maybe this has already been discovered, but here's how I just made a delicious protein pudding:

Ingredients:

-1/2 cup pasturized egg whites (or 4 egg whites)...

Try boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Can buy a big ass pack at Costco for cheap and they taste way better than chicken breasts.

That's just what my daily diet trends tend to follow. But I generally agree, ratios are irrelevant.

I go by total mass. It's just an approximate estimated amount of minimum protein.

Protein: BW (lbs) x 0.75

Fill the rest with Fats and Carbs. Eat enough carbs to fuel workouts and help performance. Eat lot's of healthy fats. I like a 40C/40F/20P ratio.

I like keeping my fats equal to or slightly higher than my carb intake. I feel really good on high fats!

You should try to add some fats man! Helps testosterone production!

Good points guys. For the most part I try to eat pretty clean, but I have my days. The nice thing about focusing more on Fats and Carbs is that some of the tastiest foods are high in Fat and Carbs!...

Does anyone else follow non-standard macronutrient ratios? What I mean by this, is something different than your typical 40P/40C/20F, or 40P/30C/30F, or 50C/30P/20F? I don't really keep track of...

Right on man. Wow, and by the looks of it, you train everyday? Do you ever feel burnt out with your training and take time off? Or do you feel with less resistance you can go longer?

Man that is some serious volume! I've been following along just as of today.

Very interested in the training you do. I myself recently switched to calisthenics only for a few months, and I found...
