Wanna get the shred happening bruz

Been pumping the weights for a couple of months now and getting increase in muscle.

But the fat around waist etc is still there

Also might add that I smash out a good 10-15min ab sesh at the end of each workout

Can anyone recommend any suppliments to burn off fat and increase metabolism.

This is going to be included with my current workout/diet.

I will be getting some whey protein some time next week.

Each time you eat, metabolic rate increases slightly for a few hours. Paradoxically, it takes energy to break down and absorb energy. This is the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). The amount of energy expended is directly proportional to the amount of calories and nutrients consumed in the meal.

Let's assume that we are measuring TEF during 24 hours in a diet of 2700 kcal with 40% protein, 40% carbohydrate and 20% fat. We run three different trials where the only thing we change is the the meal frequency.

A) Three meals: 900 kcal per meal.

B) Six meals: 450 kcal per meal.

C) Nine meals: 300 kcal per meal.

What we'd find is a different pattern in regards to TEF. Example "A" would yield a larger and long lasting boost in metabolic rate that would gradually taper off until the next meal came around; TEF would show a "peak and valley"-pattern. "C" would yield a very weak but consistent boost in metabolic rate; an even pattern. "B" would be somewhere in between.

However, at the end of the 24-hour period, or as long as it would take to assimilate the nutrients, there would be no difference in TEF. The total amount of energy expended by TEF would be identical in each scenario. Meal frequency does not affect total TEF. You cannot "trick" the body in to burning more or less calories by manipulating meal frequency.

Dunno if any one else has found this but,

I was using international protein synergy 5 for the last 6 weeks, I then ran out before my new order came in so I resorted to buying a tub of optimum nutrition gold standard whey. Took that for 2 days and had an upset stomach the whole time. I received my new protein 4 days ago (Allmax ISOFLEX) and now the upset stomach is gone. I've been off dairy for a month now and I think my body is "out of practice" at dealing with lactose.

The isolex I now take is 99% lactose free as well..

Anyone else had experiences like this?

how have you found the BN protein Birds?

seem as good as the Ultimate Nutrition?

They are very different supplements, one being pure protein and the other a compound full of carbs. I haven't done any specific or consistent tests, so it's difficult to say what difference the switch has made, other than empirical findings...for which there could be other explanations (e.g. I've been reducing my rest times between sets lately).

Anyway, muscle recovery has been much the same post-switch. I've been a little down on energy, but at the same time, never this cut before, which on paper reflects the switch. At this stage I would recommend BN to people.

(have to forgive ye crappy car window selfie, it always does a good job of making me look oblique [cwatididthere?] :/)

Yes. Run and don't eat so much shit. Drink mostly (and lots of) water and eat lots of chicken.

Anyone want to help me out with my daily intake.

So my current stats are

Weight: 70-73kg

Height: 170cm

Age: 22

I just did a metabolic rate calc

Base Energy Expenditure: 1758 kilocalories per day

Does this mean to get lean mean and a fighting machine I have to take very close to this in calories per day.

So if I work out a meal plan of 1700 calories and adjust as I shed fat and gain muscle

Why do you take a pic of yourself in the car window, it makes you look 2x bigger than you actually are.

1700 calories is probably maintenance cals for an ethiopian child. What are your goals?

Im out of my comfort zone here haha

Dont have a clue what to aim for etc.

Just want to lose any extra flab and tone and a little muscle gain will be a bonus

Just trying to work out what my daily intake should be so I can organise what foods I want to eat etc.

I do a 30-45min workout each work day which is based on weight lifiting with high reps

I think kasko might be talking kilocalories...

The metabolic calc did it in kilocalories so wouldnt have a clue

Diet is no doubt an important part of exercise, but if you're trying to bulk up a bit you probably dont wanna be skimping on your food intake all that much.

Just try to limit the amount of crappy food you eat and opt for healthier things. This will require a bit of forward planning for what you want to eat for the day though.

? he said calories, that is a kilocalorie or kcal.

You can't do both at the same time. You'll want to bulk, but keep in mind it will result in fat gain and how much is dependant on how many calories you eat over your maintenance level. Use this http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=121703981&page=1 to calculate your macro's and calories.

Pretty confusing calculators

Might have to take some time out and work this out fully.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
