  • When weight training and dieting

    If you're weight training and eating a fairly high protein diet whilst calorie deficiting by 500 calories per day, will your body use the eaten protein to repair your muscles and use bodyfat to make up the calorie deficit, or will it use the protein for fuel instead of repairing your muscles which will make them get weaker and weaker?

    A 500 calorie per day deficit is quite a deficit.

    The body will use protein for muscle repair (growth I'm not sure on a 500 cal deficit).

    Use bodyfat for fuel?

    If you are low carbing. Very low.

        ^Hardly an example, Ant's only 3 big macs from a return to obesity.

        He's tied to a prison style anorexic diet for life. He's desperate to eat normally but is terrified.

          He doesn't have to follow his diet.


          Ant is a lot more knowledgeable than him, and if the OP asked him nicely, I'm sure he would be happy to educate him as to what he's doing wrong.

            You're in good shape Pat.

            Is it mainly down to diet, exercise, genes, or a combo?

              ^Pretty much

              The trick is....don't go mad.

              I just keep an eye on sugar, butter, unecessary fat/oil, red meat




              It takes a lot to become a chiselled beefcake but when it's achieved, there's the maintenence. Side effects of that can be OCD

                It was just something I was pondering last year i.e. if the body isn't getting enough calories will it sacrifice fatstores or muscle first.

                A pointless aim for posers and those that get no other types of daily exercise.

                  Ant does it for ego purposes, he most likely hates his regime and is desperately seething that no bird has ever wolf whistled him in Chiang Mai

                  He could try other places in Thailand to catwalk his physique but he's stuck in Chiang Mai. Poor bastard.

                    I think you should continue the butter fluffer diet

                      Glad this had been brought up as I was going to ask about a something similar.

                      I have been working out mainly to keep fit after an injury to my shoulder and elbow prevented me from playing tennis which I've played quite seriously from a young age. Following this, I took up jogging December 2017 to lose weight as I put a few pounds on as I wasn't getting much exercise, including the off-road riding I do.

                      I was 99kg 6ft.

                      After another injury to my foot, I bought an elliptical machine, took up cycling at the gym provided at home and swimming, and since January I have lost about 7 kg, but I'm curious about my calorie intake.

                      According to a program app I am on (Under Armor MyFittnessPal), my intake should be 2,050 calories to hit my target of 87KG give or take, but I am only eating 1500-1800 calories per day and feel OK on it. I know the body can go into a weird defensive mode if it isn't getting enough, but I don't feel hungry on this. Is this ok?

                      I eat mainly rice, egg, potatoes, some chicken plenty of veg and fruit. I'm not a vegetarian but I don't eat meat. I have fook all snacks unless it's dehydrated food such as mango or durian.

                        Not sure I understand this. No offense.

                        Perhaps you don't like labels.

                        Or, you could say, "I'm a carnivore that does not eat meat."

                        Best of luck on your recovery.

                          For sure. It's all about moderation. Anyone can live on an OCD diet and be miserable all to try to look like a demigod, but the right-minded have no interest in doing that.

                            One issue I experienced with training and not taking in enough calories was insomnia. Calorific starvation. I wasn't taking into account how many calories I'd burned vs the intake I needed on a normal day plus exercise. Some days I was 1400k short. Still, even now, I am a good 800-1200 short on an exercise day which I do 4-5 days a week.
