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.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
