Wow, that's a great deal of information!

I have read this thread and found it very helpful. However I have a newbie question still. If say I need to eat around 2000kcal a day to maintain my weight, and as a result of exercise I burn off 300kcal. Does this mean I need to eat 2300kcal to maintain my weight? That is what common sense tells me, but just thought I would check. Thanks

Calotren does not stimulate, starve or trick your body into weight loss. It simply supports your body’s lean muscle tissue and fuels the body’s natural mechanism in burning off excess fats and sugars more efficiently. Calotren is made only with the highest grade of collagen available.

This was some really helpful stuff. I am pretty forgetful and I already knew and learned some some of the things mentions in this thread, but just slips my mind sometimes. It was a good refresher and I leaned some new things too. Thanks for this thread.

Hi all,
I'm doing well with my diet and exercise, and I just started taking supplements (glutamine, CoQ-10, and carnitine). I'm eating three meals and three snacks (maxing out at 1400-1500 cals), with my last snack (a protein shake) right after my last fitness class at 8:30pm. I go to bed around 10:30 and my stomach is growling. So I get up and have a couple of hard boiled eggs, a complex carb and a full glass of water. I lay back down and I still feel hungry. Sometimes I tough it out, but often I'm getting back up to eat. I know I shouldn't be eating this late. I'm within my calorie range. When I adjust my intake and eat in the 1600+ range, I gain. What's going on? What is everyone else eating as their last meal? Any suggestions are helpful. Thanks!

After searching for ways to help myself and my family to improve our health, I finally found answers. I am an independent distributor of Awareness products. Our key products are featured in the 2009 Physicians' Desk Reference for Nonprescription Drugs and Dietary Supplements. The Awareness Life products that you are able to view at hallstrom.awarenesslife.com have helped people all over North America to maintain their health and contribute to their overall well-being.

One of the major problems with maintaining the right amount of weight loss/nutrition is actually having the right kinds of nutrition in your diet. Many Americans do not get the right kinds of nutrients due to eating highly processed foods, fast food, and pre made meals that are loaded with preservatives and non nutritional fillers. Check out more information about it at hallstrom.awarenesslife.com

This is some great stuff, especially for the beginners like me. I don't know a lot about nutrition, and all this information helps out tremendously. I appreciate all the help from the people that know. Repped who I could.

hi, i'm currently starting to cut for the summer, im at 175lbs at 10.5% body fat. My aim for the summer is 7%.

i found this website: www . simplyshredded .com/layne-norton-the-most-effective-cutting-diet.html
I'm not going to kcal count, just aiming to hit my macros with meal frequency of 3 hours.

I worked out my maintance kcal with the formular on the website and it is 2625kcal a day. I'm going to have a 300kcal deduction.

After my 300kcal deduction I have then worked out my macros approx from the website and they are:

220g Protein
230g Carbs
55g Fats,

I thought the carbs were slightly to high and the fats were to low so I changed it to:

220g Protein
190g Carbs
75g Fat,

How does this look for cutting? Aiming to have 50g of carbs for breakfast and pre-workout (90 minutes before).

Thanks

1. Why is it supposedly good to eat porridge and PB for breakfast? You can eat whatever you want for breakfast, so long as it fits your macros.

2. No doubt natty PB and 'proper porridge' have benefits, but in terms of body composition they are not going to magically burn fat in a way that other foods will not.

3. Instant porridge is a good source of fiber and will probably keep if full. In terms of fat burning, it is as good as a Big Mac.
