Rep Power: 27 | | I really like that spreadsheet idea - that would be a great way to figure things out, especially since looking them up repeatedly is such a pain in the rear (for me anyway)...
I guess my question about cutting stemmed from my impression (at least regarding how I have seen it used around here) is that it was a different approach to weight loss, or something to that effect. That is just my ignorance but when you look at how weight is lost rather than just the fact of losing it, it makes sense to me. |

I like to use calorie-count.com or calorieking.com a lot! Gives full nutritional data for specific amounts in grams or ounces with a nice pull down menu.
Cutting is really just a fancy way of saying SMART weightloss. And by fancy, I mean a jocks way. It isn't tough to say in a gym... "I am really just trying to work off my pouch" to another guy. |

I know a caloric deficit is a DIET, but its more of a change of lifestyle in my mind. Kind of goes in line with that other thread about why diets fail... |

If I were to start a clean bulk, I'd probably go as high as 1.5 grams per lb. As far as fats go, I try to take in about 20 percent of my daily intake as fats (clean stuff, like peanut butter, almonds, fish oils) which for me is about 380 calories (very easy to do when almonds are 130 fat cals per serving + 40 protein cals (makes for about 7 grams of protein per serving). The rest comes from carbs... like my fruits, veggies and whole grains (wild brown rice, whole grain bread, oatmeal). I don't actually calculate those. I make sure I get in the fats and proteins and know that the carbs fall into place. Fish oils count towards your fats (1200 mg = 1.2 grams = 10 calories from fat). This generally has worked for me in the past month... | This is actually as clear as I have ever seen the percentage thing worked out.
Thank you for this information. I am also looking to take myself to the proverbial next level. I do not eat bad but I never really knew what to shoot for macro wise.
Thank you Keith for posting this.  |
