Some of the dietary claims are wildly inaccurate. Unless you'd like to get ill - nutritionist (degree irl not Internet)
tranderas
Yeah as soon as i saw the protein% i was like "but protein toxicity is 40% of calories. 30%+ is pushing it..."
TheTwoRaptorsYouDidntEvenKnowWereThere
How so? They were pretty basic tips and generally good for you
Lastly, 200kcal is far too low an intake if this infograph expects the audience to be participating in 90min cycles, HIIT or whatever else
I agree with you here, I'm at about 3k cals to maintain with my current level of fitness, 2k seems pretty damn low
Secondly, at least 30% protein intake. Protein can and is converted to fat and stores after optimum intake is achieved
it says 30% and is most likely just a jumping off point, once you get into fitness you'd more than likely look at nutrition more
I can't see the bit that says it's a jumping off point. Problem is there's shit out like this. Once you get in who do you listen to?
So it's better to not do anything? Not everyone has money to pay for nutritionalists or personal trainers, this seems a good motivator
As a standard, changes in diet should never be made for appearance sake, IMO. Aesthetic change will come with a good diet anyway. (1/?)
That does explain how the tips are inaccurate? The tips were good for health reasons not just appearance
I don't think the tips were good for health/diet. What is a bad fat, who decide fat was bad. It never states what one is...
and you never explained why it's bad, keeping track of what you eat, eating less shitty food, exercise more... all good tips
It doesn't, but it's a pretty simple infograph. I'd say most people know what is bad though, you won't look at a big mac and say "good fat"
and a quick google search yields plenty of examples of what is good fats vs bad fats

As someone with abs - all of these are good guidelines. BUT, remember: Rome wasn't built in a day (abs) nor the town dump. (Excess weight)
One day at a time-schedule cheat days. The approach I follow is I'm good 5 out of 7 days which means 1.5 positive days per week - it adds up

vs 4 cal per G like protein does. You can have your sweets, just eat them post workout, when you NEED simple carbs.
Thanks for the info!
Yes, I sometimes do, along with greasy food / beer. Everything is about Basal Metabolic rate - need to stay 500 calories below for 1 lb loss
per week. There is a lot to be said about avoiding sugary / sweet food (blood sugar control), but the big thing is carbs have 9 cal per G
Azmoten
Sorry, but you are mistaken. It is fat that has 9cal/gram. Protein and carbs are both 4. Source in comment

UltimateQueefMachine
I managed my abs in about 7 months. Having abs feels good.
Congrats! Hard work, dedication inside and outside the gym, and patience do pay off! Now the hard part: Maintenance!
I do 5 days a week usually in the gym. One day per week for abs and that will last about 1.5 hours
So much work in the gym. I'm happy today because I maxed a deadlift at 90kg (198lbs) and I could go for more
Wow, that's really awesome! Just be careful with your back - crossfit (I'm assuming you're doing) is a great workout, but dangerous.

(4) lifts are the most efficient way to work your body. Overall: nutrition isn't difficult conceptually, it's just hard to stick with.
(5) Lift heavy things in a bunch of ways. Don't hurt yourself doing things poorly or doing stupid things.
(3) what matter. You can eat complete crap and lose weight if you consume fewer calories than you use (not healthy, though). Yes, compound
(2) of fat from one body part doesn't occur. The nutrition part about bad fats and alcohol: in terms of losing weight, your calories are...
A lot of it isn't bad, necessarily. I don't like the references to "belly fat". You lose and gain fat across your body. "Spot-reduction"j is

Thenameideserved
Well if you want to lose weight it is quite fine. 500 cal in deficit each week will lead to 500grams weight loss a week :)
boompartymagic
It depends on the height and current weight of the male.
No, it's not - it's all based on your Basal Metabolic Rate. That's what determines what you need to consume to lose weight. Period.
ExpectoPatr0num
"Dudes" is a broad term. A guy who is 6'5" 275 would basically be starving on 2k calories, but a guy who is 5'3" 125 would be way overeating

It's not necessarily 'too low'. But it's just dumb to suggest a specific value for any group of people.
TyffiBoo
It's way too high for me. I'm 4'8'' so according to my app i'm only allowed 800 calories to meet my goal weight.
NeverTrustaHogwallop
It really depends on the person. I can maintain weight at 2500 a day. Cutting 500 a day to lose fat isn't drastic.

I'm in the 3000 calorie range for maintenance, but I also lift a shit-ton.
jtank819
Me too! It's just really difficult to 'healthy' eat 3000
BhawbTheMagnificent
When I ate that much for training it was usually whole grain carb (pasta/rice/english muffin) + shitload of lean protein + veggies.
It's not too bad for me. I also use a lot of starchy carbs and protein to fill the caloric void. Anything below 3000 is difficult for me.
Like protein blasts?

The trouble is that taking the time and making the effort to exercise and cook from fresh = serious stress and bugger all sleep.
You get to the point when exercise isn't "making an effort" and you actually look forward to it. Cooking though... hate that shit
Cooking fresh is easy, cheap, and once you know what to do takes less time than eating out. People are just lazy.
Cook once or twice a week (meal prep). Exercise is actually great at regulating stress, and will help you sleep like a baby. Good luck!
Cheers, but I already do most of the stuff listed above. I cook every night, I enjoy it. Just don't have much time after work and gym.

Also, genetics play a large roll as well. There are 3 general body types: Ectomorph, Mesomorph, and Endomorph. Figure out your body type.
Those have been discredited, there is no such thing as distinct, genetic body types. Genetics matter, but less than people want to think.
[deleted]
im glad you both said it.. nobody likes to hear that they were lucky enough to win the genetic lottery.. i have no idea why!
It downplays the work and effort they put in, even if they don't need it. Say good genes bad genes both try hard both look good (1/2)
But only bad genes gets credit because good genes "didn't have to work for it."
It's a hard question. Like Aristotle debates in philosophy (1/2)

The trouble is that taking the time and making the effort to exercise and cook from fresh = serious stress and bugger all sleep.
TheTwoRaptorsYouDidntEvenKnowWereThere
You get to the point when exercise isn't "making an effort" and you actually look forward to it. Cooking though... hate that shit
BhawbTheMagnificent
Cooking fresh is easy, cheap, and once you know what to do takes less time than eating out. People are just lazy.

Cook once or twice a week (meal prep). Exercise is actually great at regulating stress, and will help you sleep like a baby. Good luck!
LoquaciousLizard
Cheers, but I already do most of the stuff listed above. I cook every night, I enjoy it. Just don't have much time after work and gym.

As a father: babies do not sleep. Dads get out of shape because BABIES DO NOT SLEEP.

The rectus abdominus is one muscle. The tendons are what give it the look of being several muscles. Whether you have a four-pack, a (1/2)

six-pack, or an eight-pack is based on how many of those tendons there are. You can't do anything about the number you have. (2/2)

I'm not entirely sure, but I've heard it's all genetic. There is either an extra group already there or not.

Also, genetics play a large roll as well. There are 3 general body types: Ectomorph, Mesomorph, and Endomorph. Figure out your body type.
BhawbTheMagnificent
Those have been discredited, there is no such thing as distinct, genetic body types. Genetics matter, but less than people want to think.

im glad you both said it.. nobody likes to hear that they were lucky enough to win the genetic lottery.. i have no idea why!

It downplays the work and effort they put in, even if they don't need it. Say good genes bad genes both try hard both look good (1/2)
mrmessma
But only bad genes gets credit because good genes "didn't have to work for it."

It's a hard question. Like Aristotle debates in philosophy (1/2)
