Mitcho_7 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) ? 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.

TM7GTR Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 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.

-FIGJAM- Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 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 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 He asked how to increase metabolic rate, eat food. I have those same underwear except mine have the blue elastic instead of green lmao. Ahh fair enough.

Birds Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/171/#findComment-6477766 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 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.

Manuel Kasko Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Why don't you do it the other way round? Just cut for summer... 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?

What would you recommend with intake to shed the weight. We can talk about gain once I finish with the shed 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... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/171/#findComment-6477886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Kasko Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/171/#findComment-6477923 Share on other sites More sharing options...
