I need to lose weight and fat both, probably even if it's at the expense of a little muscle. <BR/><BR/>Great work with all your training -- you must have such discipline!Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201053516148787578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426765907755945845.post-8906957361895277012007-12-27T15:01:00.000-08:002007-12-27T15:01:00.000-08:00Hi Danni - No calorie deficit intended but there m...Hi Danni - <BR/><BR/>No calorie deficit intended but there may be some on accident. I eat 1965 on rest days, 2645 on moderate days and 2985 on high days. None of this includes calories consumed during excersize. I did not start this to lose weight rather to teach my body to utilize fat stores (get leaner) and stop consumer muscle for fuel. I started my Grand Slam at 114 pounds and 14.8% body fat. I ended the Grand Slam at 111 and 16.8% body fat. I lost weight but gained fat because I didn't fuel my body. I felt great but having higher fat when I lost 3 pounds was not the loss I was looking for. I have lost weight on this plan but gained muscle and lost fat and the overall pounds lost are minimal. The theory is if I fuel my body for the workouts I do it will reward me by burning fat as fuel while running instead of muscle and I will recover faster. I was an expert at burning proteins and fairly efficient at it but it is still much harder to convert to fuel than fat. I may be turning the corner but I am not there yet, still have some work to do. It's hard for me to eat all those calories both mentally and physically but I am forcing myself to do it and the rewards are there. The plan is more of nutritional makeover with foods and timing of consumption than a caloric restriction.Rondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10832545114209221483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426765907755945845.post-20787331889936031842007-12-26T16:59:00.000-08:002007-12-26T16:59:00.000-08:00Sorry -- the way I asked my question made no sense...Sorry -- the way I asked my question made no sense. (I was referring to Mark as the pincher). I'm wondering what your goal calorie deficit is -- if you eat 2000 calories on X day, how many calories is it assumed that you have burned on X day? Do you average a calorie deficit of 500 calories per day? More? Less? That's what I am curious about. You may not know. Thanks and sorry to bug you!Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201053516148787578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426765907755945845.post-91454945529108324722007-12-26T13:48:00.000-08:002007-12-26T13:48:00.000-08:00Hi Danni,I am not sure what you mean but I can exp...Hi Danni,<BR/><BR/>I am not sure what you mean but I can explain how I have been measured. Mark pinches (with calipers) 9 sights and comes up with numbers. He then measures (with tape measure) 9 areas for size. If the pinchers come back with lower numbers I have lost fat. If the tape measure comes show a smaller size that's good as long as it's in line with fat loss Then he weighs me. Again if that's lower accounting for fat loss only then great I have not burned up muscle. If I have lost to much weight and measures too low then I have consumed muscle....not good. I hope that helps but if you are looking for me info. send me another comment.
