When I started weight training I probably used to consume X calories, made up of 75% wholesome goodness and 25% ***** rubbish.
I was finding it slow going to shape up and put on muscle.
However, I'm now probably eating the same X calories but this time comprising of 95% wholesome goodness and only 5% crap. I'm shaping up pretty well even thought the scales don't show much of a drop in weight.
I am not well read on matters of nutrition or even exercise; but it is quite a revelation to see the maths add up.
This is probably obvious to most of you on this forum. It's just that I wouldn't have believed the importance of cutting the rubbish but not the calories, if I hadn't experienced it upon my own body.
I guess calories in themselves aren't everything
