Very nice link with alot of info I just spent the last hour reading it and learned alot Ive been looking alot more into building muscle mass then losing weight (losing weight is trivial however gaining muscle is a bitch). Alot of nice info there especially the calorie calculating (rather do it at my comp then spend 50 dollars to go to the doctor and have him do the same thing haha.
never really realized in all my dieting how complicated diets are >< I just figured if I cut calories and ate more protein would be good (It does work but no real muscle etc gain)
Well thanks I have to redo my diet for the 4th time in the last 2 weeks thanks to you >< (meant that in a good way haha)
If someone has the chance could they answer this question for me though:
Ive always lost weight through carbs / proteins and gained weight from fats so I think the 40 / 40 / 20 diet would be best for me however ..
How do I compare them I normally eat 1500 - 2000 calories a day (more towards 1500)
(weigh 220 and like 18% body fat (and dropping)
[beats the 270 / XX% it was before]
So Im not sure if I should make a new thread but was hoping someone can answer this for me with an aprox count of the ammounts I should eat (I weight lift 4 times a week also)
