I think my plan is nearly flawless I think this plan is very flawed by simple default of the above statement. You structure your diet to build muscle or to burn fat. It is very difficult to cater for both at the same time. My personal style is to build muscle then shred later, but everyone is different. Even bodybuilders are aware that there mass can across as much as 40lbs while they are trying t...http://www.traineo.com/9_6139_0.htmlFri, 27 Jun 2008 08:57:16 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_6139_0.htmlI don't have much fat to lose, only 15lbs. I used to have around 40, but lost it by building muscle, and eating a ton surprisingly. I am just having problems with this fat. I am not eating empty calories, but I am eating a lot of the same foods throughout the day (eggs, bananas, and milk mostly). Should I get a fat body analyzer, or a capiler? Which is more accurate? I think my plan is fine for now, 2600 seems to be right but I'll up it a bit this weekend and hope I don't nap....http://www.traineo.com/9_6139_0.htmlFri, 27 Jun 2008 06:52:08 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_6139_0.htmlI hate BMR formulas, especially ones that are based only on weight. Telling a person how much they can/should eat based on a simple number is tantamount to trying to describe an entire forest based on a drawing of a leaf. The honest to God best way to figure out how much you should eat sucks. It's going to take effort and time, but you're just going to have to experiment. You should be eating enough that you have enough energy to make it throughout the day without a nap really, and ...http://www.traineo.com/9_6139_0.htmlFri, 27 Jun 2008 05:58:13 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_6139_0.htmlI've lost 4lbs so far. I have noticed a burnout to a degree - I feel the soreness in my whole body whereas before it was just a small fatigue. Sometimes I even sleep after work, but I don't see that as a bad thing as sleep is when you recuperate. Is burning that many calories fine for building muscle and losing fat? I think my plan is nearly flawless, but sticking to it is a different story....http://www.traineo.com/9_6139_0.htmlThu, 26 Jun 2008 20:21:42 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_6139_0.htmlI generally multiply my bodyweight in lbs by 13 as a really crude bmr calculator. Using a factor of 16 may be going a little too far, but try it and see. The only thing I would ask is, 'When does your body recover?' I see a burnout cominghttp://www.traineo.com/9_6139_0.htmlThu, 26 Jun 2008 10:51:36 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_6139_0.htmlI weigh 185lbs. I read that to lose fat, you find your bmr by multiplying your weight by 16kcal, and for me that's 2960 calories. I made a diet plan for me that I can live with, and it totals 2615. I also work out daily for 2hrs, intense weight training and cardio, I am underestimating how many calories I burn but I say around 500. So, I subtract that from 2615, to get 2115, and subtract that from 2960 to get 845. So I am burning 845 calories a day; is that fine? My diet plan has 212g of ...http://www.traineo.com/9_6139_0.htmlThu, 26 Jun 2008 06:47:55 +0000
