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

Calories are confusing but there is a difference between calories and kilocalories

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorie

You're right though, most things that refer to calories in the dietary sense are kcal.

Either way kasko, 1758kcal would be your BMR. Which is the amount of energy your body requires to carry out all the necessary basic functions to ensure survival without getting out of bed.

So you will definently need more energy each day than that or you will be a skinny man in no time.

I hope you realise that 1000 calories (food related) = 1 kilocalorie....

Basically you've just said his caloric maintenance level is that of a small african nation's monthly food intake lol

Dani Boi - Not quite sure what point you were trying to make with that quote you posted?

Kasko - For every 30-45 min of weights, you should be doing another 20-30 mins of cardio to cut body fat, and cut down your intake of carbs per day. Fat burning supps won't do shit for you to an extent, and what they do achieve doesn't come without side effects. Energy in < Energy out = fat loss... simple as that. If you want to add muscle, there is no quick way.

Some people complicate the hell out of easy concepts.

Birds - Strong lime green underwear... would buy some

He asked how to increase metabolic rate, eat food. I have those same underwear except mine have the blue elastic instead of green lmao.

1785 calories per day doesnt seem unreasonable to me for a BMR...

But i dont study nutrition or know much about it

1785 is pretty small. Across 3 meals a day its only 595 calories. Fairly easy if you ask me.

Clearly you guys didn't read what I wrote properly :no: 1785 calories is very minimal yes, but I was referring to how you wrote 1785 kcal. 1785 kcal would be the equivalent of 1,785,000 calories seeing as 1kcal = 1000 calories

Ahh fair enough. Hahaha if we're talking about Bonds here I have fluro blue and pink... real men can pull off fluro pink...

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

Pic isn't to show how big I am, I mentioned in my post how it distorts angles. Pic was to show muscle tone and lack of fat from supplementing using BN. There's no hiding how big I am with photos...most people here know I'm 80kg @ 6'3. Not huge, but not tiny either considering the BF. If it satisfies the people my next pic will be in front of a mirror :)

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

You will shed fat, but you won't gain much muscle or as quickly/effectively because you aren't fueling yourself properly with such a low intake. Your goals are countering each other. Pick one or sit at a happy medium...

...or you could eat whatever you want and run some HIIT.

Getting big is the not a priority

Losing loose flab is the goal

Once this is achieved then I can work on gain of muscle. What would you recommend with intake to shed the weight. We can talk about gain once I finish with the shed

Why don't you do it the other way round?

Just cut for summer...

They are awesome underwear, very comfy. I have them in blue, red, pink, green, white. Shame they dont make completely white ones though!

Why don't you do it the other way round?

Because I need to know what my limits are etc.

Don't want to fark it up and find im some medium buff tubby dude.

As I mentioned my main goal is to see what I can shed and then work up from a base that I am happy with

Is this stupid?

Then live off only water, high protein / low fat foods like chicken/ham, steamed vegetables, next to nothing in the way of sugar / junk food...and start running. Don't bother with calorie counting and calculators, it's overcomplicating things. Eat only when you're hungry and keep it healthy. Drink water until your piss looks like you could drink it. Run (fast) 3-5km three times a week. If you stick to that I promise you will lose all the weight you want to. Once you've cut down to what you want, you can stabilize i.e. eat basically whatever you want and just counter it with exercise, like I do. Get to know your stomach flab; learn how to pinch it with your fingers in the same spot...easy test for gaining/losing fat.

Be aware though, that you might be happy with your muscle gains now or how you look with T shirts on...but your muscle size will appear to diminish as you cut, because you don't get to choose where that fat comes off and there's a whole heap of it making your muscles look bigger than they actually are. At 80kg I look great with no top on, but put me in a T shirt and most of it is gone. At 89kg I lost visibility of my abs (untensed), but I was bigger under clothes and people told me so. Still, I much prefer "cut" me...

Thanks birds

So I'll just keep doing what I been doing the past couple of weeks. Chicken breast and broccoli for lunch, Fruits as snacks and oats etc for breakfast.

Dinner what ever I feel like but make sure it's healthy with brown rice, brown pasta or mashed sweet potato.

And instead of running can I just keep pumping phat weight sessions because my ankle is farked from jumping off a cliff so can't run far

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
