I Finally Got A Personal Trainer
I doubt your body fat changed much at all, really. Well % it did but appearance wise none at all. My arms and chest appear to be more "toned' if you will but overall I look the same. Keep in mind he takes the bf% calculations using calipers on chest, stomach and thigh areas. The largest...- Mike Lowry

If you really want to be accurate with your calorie counting you will need to get a food scale. This is the one I use: http://www.amazon.com/Escali-Primo-D...8984470&sr=8-1 I agree that running at a caloric deficit is the most important thing for you to do if your goal is only to lose weight...- Mike Lowry

The housewife who walks around shopping all day has more calories burned in activity than you will running a 5K every day and sitting at your computer for the majority of it. Are you using this for effect or has someone done a study on this? I take everyone's ideas/thoughts/recommendation into...- Mike Lowry

How old are you? You should use one of the online calculators to figure out your BMR (basal metabolic rate) and then your maintenance calorie level depending on your activity level. I did this calculation for you a few posts ago assuming you were 30 years old and it came to about 2300 Kcal. This...- Mike Lowry

Mike, can you enter everything you eat (EVERYTHING) in a typical day into fitday.com and post here? It would be interesting to see your nutrient breakdown as well as your calories. Grams Calories %-Cals Calories 2,176 Fat 89.1 791 37 % Saturated 28.5 254 12 % Polyunsaturated 14.2 126 6 %...- Mike Lowry

For the protein bar, the Kashi, the Myoplex, and the honey roasted peanuts, please list the total mass (in grams) of the food, as well as the total mass of sugar (in grams) of what you are eating. You probably already will do this, but this would be the number for a serving on the label...- Mike Lowry

No love for veggies, eh? (half cup of green beans and brocolli? ) FWIW I think you could lose 50 pounds of fat, maybe more (I'm talking ripped here), and (if you have the will power to do that) easily put on 20 lbs of muscle afterwards. So that would put me at 5'-8" 125lbs? I think it's...- Mike Lowry

It's not EFAs or too few calories or any other voodoo. It's a lack of activity and stuff like eating an extra protein bar because you feel hungry. Next time you feel hungry go run a mile instead. So even if I was eating 900 calories eating the protein bar at 7PM would have been a bad idea also?- Mike Lowry

4 weeks should be more than enough to see some changes, especially if you were training hard enough to "pass out" as you said earlier in the thread. HIIT TBT workouts especially should have you burning fat like a monster, especially if you're running that kind of deficit. If your trainers are...- Mike Lowry

I have futher questions about your diet, and none of them have anything to do with carbs. How much sugar (in grams) do you eat each day? What do you eat for breakfast? Do you drink coffee? Do you add cream or sugar? How many cups of water do you drink each day, and at what times? Are you eating...- Mike Lowry

What's your sexual orientation?
78% & 23% for me.... I thought it would be more 50/50 for me as I consider myself "bi-curious". I am sure that putting I don't have any gay friends and I've only had sex with women swung it back up to the 78%.- Mike Lowry

Yes I have. It is very disprorportionate. Any reason it stores the fat in the oblique area so heavy? Suggestions? I literally have friends 30-40lbs overweight who have smaller guts/obliques than I do. Put a shirt on and I look skinny as can be because my arms and legs aren't fat and show...- Mike Lowry
