Sorry, I shouldve been more specific. The exact question reads as this: "What might be a reason for discrepancies between Jennifer's measured body composition and her predicted body weight at a given percentage?" It had me do the math for her target body weight and body fat goals before hand...

Im taking a course in sports nutrition...I have nailed all the questions except one. Figured, Id come here for some help. The question is.... What might be a reason for discrepancies between measured body composition and predicted body weight?

Whats up all? I will be starting a new seasonal job here next week since my normal job will be slow this winter. Its a night shift. Pretty strenuous. Ill be loading up trailers for Target 10 hours a day 4 days a week. I plan on doing my WO routine before work around 11:30am-12pm. My hours will...

Great ideas. Thanks. This is what I put together in the blender: Bobs red mill thick oats 1/2c 2 Scoops ON Whey protein Creatine 5g Medium Banana 2-3 ice cubes Water Calories: 555 Carbs: 67 Fat: 7 Protein: 56 Sugar: 17 Look good? Im thinking about adding a TBSP of some natural PB for more fats

Anyone? Looking into becoming a nutritionist and trainer. Where do I start?

What do you recommend after cardio? I do like a 3-4 mile run 2 times a week or just may do some boxing. Should I take the protein shake with carbs after cardio as well?

Looking for something high in fast-acting carbs once I finish my lifting. Anyone have any suggestions? Or, should I just use a protein shake with a banana or something? My protein shake only has 3g of carbs.

Nice article there as well. The magazine article I have (written by the same author, Keifer) called for me to deplete. So I did. Im actually doing this now. Taking in most of my carbs after my workout and in the evenings before bed. I'll keep you posted on my %BF and weight. As of now I am 6'2...

So Im not too skinny for this? I depleted for 3 days. Its calls for 5-6 days. I had to get some kind of carb and im strict on my diet. I felt like passing out after work today.

yeah my thing is I used to be fat at 235. Went down to 163 because all I wanted to be was skinny and did cardio like a mofo. Started lifting in April and have gained 17 pounds and %1BF to 180. Im at %12 BF. No need for me to be cutting I guess. Just scared of throwing that fat back on even...

Read about this Carb back-loading. It seems to make sense to me. Anyone tried it? Carb Back-loading From what I understand is you deplete for 5-6 days with 30g or less carbs per day and then start the gaining by going low carb all morning and day until after training and then pound the carbs...

Been running for 2 years now every other day and ran into this recently as well. It is most likely your shoes. ALWAYS warm-up and stretch before and after a run as well 5-10 min warm-up and cool down. Just walking for 15 min after a run will do amazing things for your endurance as well...

This is where I was messing up I think. See I was doing a warm-up set and stretching and then I would dive right into 3-4 sets of 10 (at least try for 10 on my last set) of the max I could do. I do 3-4 exercises once a week for each major muscle group. So around the 3rd exercise that muscle...

Good tips. Thanks. Currently, I'm doing 3 different exercise for each muscle group once weekly. I like running a lot. It clears my mind and maintains me I feel. I run about 12 miles a week (sometimes more). On days between I usually do HIIT on the stationary bike for 20 minutes, elliptical, or...

Ive noticed my weight decreasing as my sets go on. I started doing 10 reps and 3 sets instead of 8 reps. I notice I cant do the same weight as I did on the first or 2nd set on the last set. Should I start off with a lower weight and finish with that weight? Or, should I start out low and...
