That’s not energy expenditure. Not how you worded it….it’s called energy expenditure

yes it moves based on so many variables THAT YOU CONTROL, but you need an estimate before you start.No it's a baseline, that moves...........you should have a rough idea but it's not the be all end all.
yes it is.That’s not energy expenditure. Not how you worded it….
So you lowered calories and you lost weight ?I can tell you that since the end of May I've lost 15 pounds on purpose. Activity level is pretty much the same as it always is, maybe more fishing though. I haven't counted a single calorie, I just lowered carbs and more lean protein so less fat. But I also added about 100 grams of protein a day via shakes and EAA's.

Why don’t you guys share a physique pic in the pic you took today thread?
Nobody said anywhere in this thread not to eat less calories..........lolyes it is.
So you lowered calories and you lost weight ?
lmao magic
Ahhh, the infamous post your pics reply! That's what makes a point. And nobody said you can't control variables. All that was said was CAN change day to day...........and usually does. You're arguing with yourself here.............you should take this thread as the general thought it is, not try to cherry pick real and imagined inferences to support the argument you are having with ghosts.yes it moves based on so many variables THAT YOU CONTROL, but you need an estimate before you start.

Yes because we all know Big Ramy knows more than Lyle McDonald.Ahhh, the infamous post your pics reply! That's what makes a point. And nobody said you can't control variables. All that was said was CAN change day to day...........and usually does. You're arguing with yourself here..............
As a general rule of thumb I’d say 1.5-2grams.How much protein in grams do you suggest
As a general rule of thumb I’d say 1.5-2grams.
When I cut our everything but protein I’ll be up to around 600grams a day.
About a month ago I went out with the wife and some friends. The restaurant had a 24 oz prime rib......I ordered it, I ate it. I had distension that night! And protein sweats all night........just because you can eat 24 oz's of steak doesn't mean you should...........lolDoes distension become an issue when taking in so much protein? I'd assume that is hard to digest, but maybe the energy your body spends digesting all that protein is one reason it works?
Id imagine eggs may not cause an issue but if that 600 g was mostly from meat then yes
by numbers thats an extra 400 cals in protein and 120 cals burned cuz thermic effect. with 400 less eaten in carbs/fats so those cals decrease by 400 with 20 cals lost in thermic effect. so its a 100 cal net loss due to thermic effect....So say on 2800 I'm eating 300g protein and losing 1 lb a week. If I Jack up protein to 400g and adjust carbs and fats so calories are still 2800, I should lose weight ( or just fat meaning I gained muscle) greater than 1 lb a week, in theory?
Just trying to understand. This is for a lean person not pushing alot of hard dieting but always striving to become leaner.

Kind of proves that thermogenic effect though doesn't it!Haha the meat sweats are not fun that’s for sure! I get them every time my family bbq’s!
I don’t eat a lot of meat in general. Most of my protein is liquid.Does distension become an issue when taking in so much protein? I'd assume that is hard to digest, but maybe the energy your body spends digesting all that protein is one reason it works?

You said you lowered your carbs and lost weight, and thought you were making magic happen.. broMy man, nobody said
Nobody said anywhere in this thread not to eat less calories..........lol
What’s your fat and carbsAs a general rule of thumb I’d say 1.5-2grams.
