[QUOTE="mfactor, post: 967863, member: 67718"] Exactly , a good quote to remember is " [B]You can't out exercise bad diet"[/B]..................................... Lots of info on the net if you google the above quote............ But to sum up , we all have a [B]Basal metabolic rate[/B] ([B]BMR[/B]) , which for instance for me is 2400 calories per day, so if i eat 2400 cals a day i will stay at the same weight.......... [URL]http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/[/URL] Anything less than that and I lose weight anything more and i gain weight.................... So say you have a treat and eat 250 extra cals (a mars bar) over your BMR, IIRC that would take 30-40 mins of cardio to burn off.....for every mars bar :) Far easier to do it by diet and manipulate your macros (protein ,carbs and fat) to equal your BMR ............. Then use exercise for fitness........:) As an aside, you can see from my avatar that I lift heavy stuff :watching: , one great side effect of weight training is that muscle burns more calories than fat when you are at rest..... So gonna have a lie down and read a book for the rest of the day and burn some cals :D [/QUOTE]
