Trozzle,

If you head over to IIFYM.COM it has a TDEE calculator that makes it easy to work out cals.

Yours would be around 200P 370C 90F at a guess on training days.

But for what goal? Maintenance? Gaining?

That'll be maintenance, but that's why you head over and punch in your details!

Usually lean meats are around:

100g = 30gP

Cup of rice ~50g C

350g potato ~ 50gC

That's the basis I use anyway.

I don't count condiments usually

I'm only just realising how little carbohydrates are in things like steamed veggies lol...no wonder I'm at such a shortage even though I'm eating plenty :whistling: f**k this nutrition shit

Eat some pasta you skinny bastard.

Yeah it's easy as to hit protein, carbs are killer.

really only peas, corn and carrots in the normal vege types. Depends how many of course.

Takes a LOT!

Cereal is easy to eat. Takes a lot to get the grams up still though. Find suitable large bowl, keep filling until target carbs met.

lol fark alright easy on! :P

Yeah cereals are good, it's just annoying to see how loaded with sugar even the apparently "healthy" ones are. Got myself a shitload of muesli though, plenty of fruit all through it n shit. Gonna snack the hell out of that at work.

Eat a shit tonne of bread/bagels, they have few carbs in them...

This as well.

Troy, if you want a good all rounder...try toasted tuna sandwiches/melts. Carbs + protein galore.

Also, that fruit muesli will probably have a decent amount of sugar in it

haha yeah it does, though less than the stupid sultana bran I'd usually eat if I had cereals. I don't eat fruit through the rest of the day like I see some people doing excessively, so no sugar intake there for me. Nor do I have sugar in my coffee(s).

woah, you guys are getting too far into this 'in my personal opinion', or more so, over complicating it.

I just put food into 3 groups.

Good food, okay food, bad food.

Good food - fruit(eat it all day), steak, chicken, veggies, eggs etc

Okay food - bread, rice pasta, weetbix, yoghurt etc

Bad food - ice-cream, pizza, maccas, chips etc etc

So eat as much good food as you want when you want. Eat the okay food when you want, just depends on goals and most importantly body type.

Bad foods, eat at own risk. With my body type i eat this shit everyday, but i know i can, so i don't care.

None of us are competing bodybuilders, no need to overcomplicate things.

Remember this is my opinion ;)

IMO I think that's what complicates it.

A carb is a carb. Be it grains or sugar. Obviously eating sugar all the time won't be the best way but if you eat 1000 cals from your good food category or 1000 cals from your bad food category it's still 1000 cals.

Fruit is just a ball of sugar.

Hit your macro targets and it won't matter where they come from, unless you're trying to compete.

Apart from the fact I'm obviously not hitting my carb macro target and way overshooting my protein target, this is exactly what I'm getting at - you guys have overcomplicated something that's obviously working for me anyway :P

It's not complicated, it's the basics.

that little carbs you must nearly have bunny ears by now haha.

Imagine if youd hit them earlier, you could be leaner, bigger, stronger quicker.

saved money

Macros are easy, knowing them allows you to eat anything you want really.

I hadnt been to the gym in 3 days and had KFC and maccas. But I'm still in a deficit leading up to my holidays

You've been following IIFYM a little too literally I think...Thanks for the advice, but I'll stick with what I have been doing and am now doing, even if I AM doing it wrong.

I don't follow iifym, just used it's calculators.

I'm not sure how you can do something too literally though. Cals in vs cals out.

it's only my take on things and suggestions. Everyone has their own ways. There's no right or wrong way about it.

    • 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.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
