so I can eat the same chicken breasts..just smother it in butter? how many grms of fat u recommend?
Yeah, cook that shit it butter and it tastes good all of a sudden.I don't know, I can't recommend numbers for you because I don't know what will work for you. I like having about .25-.35g per lb before training, it seems to work well for me with how I structure my carb loads. Try to give 3-4 hours after eating before training.
You need to do some research on red meat and saturated fat. We have been mis informed as a society for years.Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
well.. i weigh 199.. take in about 95gms of protein before I workout.. can u make a guestimate off of that?

Yep.Read "good calories bad calories" or "why we get fat".Or watch fat heads.
at least half a gram of fat for every gram of protein in low carb/day meals
+1 I think its safe to say that red meat egg are a huge reason for why these diets work. Remember fat and protein are ESSENTIAL nutrients carbs are not. I always lean towards making sure fat and protein are high and carbs are enough to fuel workouts and recovery. Anyone who has built muscle with these diets will tell you that. 0.5-1g of fat/lb and 1-1.3g/lb of protein regardless of your carb intake, that will be adjusted depending on training volume, intensity and frequency.
It is also possible that you had fat arms as opposed to muscular arms. I've heard people boast about 18 inch biceps who were just fat.Just a thought...

Fat head is awesome!
Question for the OP. Could you see veins in your upper arms prior to losing this inch? Could you clearly make out the difference between the 3 heads of the triceps? Could you clearly see the brachialis and biceps as distinct muscles rather than just a bulk shape? If no to any of these Id wager all youve lost is fat and not muscle.

+1!
If you lose weight your arms are going to shrink (you store fat in your arms too). How is your strength in the gym? If it's going up or staying the same, you aren't losing muscle. If you are losing muscle you are going to feel STARVED.Also please read some of the books the guys are recommending regarding health. Stop listening to people that have no idea what they are talking about.
I am suprised that it took so long for people to come to the same conclusion that I did right off the first post. Go to the butcher and look at the T-Bones. Some have more fat in them than others. It is called “Marbled” and is considered more tender. Our muscles contain fat as well. I lost muscle size too when I lost weight but my muscles are way more dense than before. The same muscle tissue is there but less fat the it shrinks.If you want to know how many carbs you can eat based on your 14lb weight loss you need to look at how much you lost in the first 4 days and then divide by 4. That gives you your basic amount of glycogen that your body holds. Also figure on your training split and your training frequency. A biceps and shoulder workout depletes less glycogen than a leg workout because the muscle groups are smaller. I hold roughly 400g of glycogen. On a leg day I'll backload with about 300g. On a chest, shoulder, and triceps day maybe 250 or 300g. Unless you are doing HIIT on your off days or it is your first workout after 2 consecutive off days chances are that you are only patially depleted and should backload accordingly.RB
