The key to lose weight, when you dont really care about building any muscle, or at least not increasing it
- check your weight (yes ladies you aswel), and see how many calories it takes to stay on that weight, considering the fitness regime you do
- take off 10-20%
-1gram fat = 9 calories, 1gram protein or carb = 4 calories
- now distribute those calories over 5-6 meals, keeping 80%protein, 80%carb, 20% fat
why so many meals ? because when you eat few, big portions, you take up more then your metabolism requires, and carbs will be converted into fat, whilst protein will be going down the drain, or converted into fat via a complex citric cycle pathway, if the carbs are out.
if you take 6 smaller meals, you wll have the body active and working, not lazy because thick blood due to high carb/fat
also, if you have the same amounth of calories in 2 or 6 meals, it means the stomache is working 2 or 6 times, meaning you will burn more calories just for the same of the stomache working
