? 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

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
