Thread: How many calories?

Diet is 80% of your success. Even pro Athlete's will tell you the same thing.

I went to a nutrition expo today and got a lot of motivation. Hot girls walking around and company's there giving away free stuff.

All the knowledge about "life" is "out there". You just have to tune into it and learn it, then become it.

Here is a pic of today

you are overweight. u should eat less then you daily calorie need to maintain your current weight, which is 3000-3500cal. if you want to loose weight in a healthy manner then eat 2000-2500cal and continue you cycling. [detail about calorie calculation]

1- don't eat a lot at one time, just enough to get you going
2-shift your diet where you consume most carbs and sugars like fruits in the morning when you are active
and lower your carbs in the afternoon
3- if you follow instruction 1, don't worry about calories

I strongly disagree, on all three points.

Why do you think this is a good idea, bjg?

the guy is not a bodybuilder he just wants to drop weight and loose fat
and i don't think he is going to count calories so this is a good start for him: good eating habits

And I dont think you know what the fuck you are talking about but you keep doing it.

GTFO Troll.

Research on non-bodybuilders suggests that eating fewer, but larger meals is superior for blood-sugar control. The subjects of this 2010 study included type II diabetics. 2010 research on obese male non-bodybuilders suggests also suggests fewer, but larger meals may be better for satiety.

The research on on yet ANOTHER group of fat non-bodybuilders (it would appear the sampling population for obese non-bodybuilders is large) suggests reserving carbs for the evening is by far a superior strategy. The subjects of this 2011 study were fat cops.

Bodybuilder or no, what I'm trying to get at is why you think it's a good idea to eat small meals rather than larger ones, and to eat most of his carbs in the AM when the research suggests otherwise.
