I think you ask a valid question. My personal opinion and experience, is that food should be fuel. DO you want a high octane, clean fuel to support your engine or a run of the mill, cheapest fuel source out there?
IMO giving the body clean sources of food not only maximize the body's ability to perform in the present but they give the body more opportunity to become better in the future.

This is so funny and true! I agree this would go great on my fridge, too. I think this is why it's taking me a minute to understand what is going to work for me and my body. There is definitely lots of knowledge out there and it's important to apply what is right for you and discard the rest.

I would like to know what you guys eat every day. I was reading these posts a few years ago then my husband got deathly sick and I stopped. He is still deathly sick and I keep gaining weight. I'd need to get back on track and live right inspite of traumas. Lifes challenges do not seem to stop. I think I'll feel better if I could work out and eat right.
I MAY BE FAT BUT MY FAT IS GOING TO BE HARD!!!

Wannagethealthy: have you checked The eating plan in the main page? I have been following this plan for 4 weeks as well as the workouts suggested for fat loss, I have had good results for steady fat loss and muscle growth- it wasn't easy to drop the carbs, especially bread and pasta which was a huge part of my previous daily eating, but after a week I managed to, I find that because I'm eating so many smaller meals I'm
never hungry and I'm starting to recognise the difference between
hunger and thirst- lots of water, smaller portions of lots of raw vegetables, boiled chicken breasts, tuna, fruit, brown rice, sweet potatoes, oatmeal, legumes, egg whites, nothing deep fried, no dairy other than low fat natural yogurt and light cottage cheese, minimum fat from extra virgin olive oil (spray for grilling or pan searing) avocadoes and almonds, no sodas or fruit juices unless I'm really craving a sweet treat in which case I have a fruit frappé (lots of crushed ice with freshly made juice eg watermelon and Ginger or carrot and orange are nice combinations) I find that preparing my meals in advance prevents me from grabbing unhealthy foods and I have changed the way I shop, if it's not in the pantry it can't be eaten, right?{"remember who you are, and the extent of your dreams will have no limits"}

Depends on how said 'basal metabolic rate' is calculated, how fat you are, and for what length of time you are depending on eating low calories for. eg - There are situations in which VLCD (very low calorie diets) are actually indicated / useful....
It all just depends on the individual and their particular situation.
Have you checked out 'calories and macro calculations explained ->

Your macronutrient needs are your macros...protein and fat mainly..fill in the rest with carbs. There is a post on calculating your macro and caloric needs under the nutrition section.
Your micronutrients are vitamins/minerals etc. that you get by good food choices.
Lots to learn, and lots of good info here! Navigating the site takes a bit..

I'm a N00B
best way to gain lean muscle:
eat more food.
train heavy with weights.
do a little cardio to keep healthy.
rest enough.
best way to lose fat:
eat less food.
train heavy with weights.
do more cardio to add to calorie deficit.
rest enough.
I'm having some issues because I'm currently doing a beach body program called "Insanity-The Asylum" I am supposed to be eating 1500calories on it but I have been doing weights and other cardio along with it 3-4x a week. I have 56 days to reach my "goal" so I'm going to start split training on Monday.
My journey began in October 2010, since then I have lost 40lbs which is quite a bit on my 4'9 frame. I was doing a bit of weights here and there but like most women I was afraid I would get bulky until I met my cycling instructor who used to be a female body builder.
I got into weight lifting and so my goal changed to 97lbs if I lean out but 104lbs if I bulk up
I'm at 104 right now but I don't have the muscle I want approximately by how much should I up my caloric intake? I put my activity level at 1.5 *moderately active*
Muscle burns fat so I'm thinking I'll go for option one?
Please help a newbie out

Agreed...for the most part...
Though I'll admit I am the first to "guinea pig" myself out, I agree that most supplements are hyped up garbage. I do, however, absolutely LOVE nitric oxide. The feeling I get is incredible and I've never purchased one that didn't help me get the most out of my workout. On the sad side, there is no magic fat loss pill, hence agreeing for the most part.
