My problem with a lot of the science on nutrition these days, is that, like a lot of science in the fitness industry these days...it gets owned by real world results.

Wanna lift or look like someone? Stop reading articles and ask them what they do, what they eat...then mimick it exactly. You won't end up exactly the same due to genetics, but you'll get damn close (including their injuries). AKA broscience but AKA shit that actually works and has results to back it up.

Hah, I eat my wheat cereal, half a loaf of bread during the day, potatos or rice or pasta as part of dinner...all gets used up in the catabolic exercise that it fuels. Anti-carb people can choke on my 10% bodyfat.

I feel like in in the same boat as you. I don't count calories or macros, I eat a shit tonne of carbs, lots of protein and a moderate amount of fat I'd say, yet I still have a low body fat % and a physique most people would be more than happy with.

how much on average do you think/know?

People that eat 'clean' lose weight. What they are doing works, but they are just eating less calories than they need a day by default.

Yourself and birds just so happen to eat around what you need to achieve what you want.

It works for you, so why not.

You've got an abnormally high metabolism, which is why you can get away with this. Normal people wouldn't be able to out-train your diet unless it WAS their life lol.

Actually it is more hormone related than having a "fast" or "slow" metabolism.

You can't out train a poor diet...I've seen that proven before. However if your naturally skinny than you can eat a lot of junk and still not gain visible bodyfat.

Of course exercise helps, but diet is more important for fat loss.

By years end ill have a human biology degree, so I'm not exactly ignorant but i don't try to pretend I know anything about nutrition.

If he stays with what he's doing now, he'll continue to impress the opposite sex with a great looking, athletic body and some decent strength to boot :thumbsup:

"hrm this thread looks interesting" *clicks*

nek minit my name coming up dafaq?

I've always been pretty skinny with a small pot belly my weight went from around 68kg to 78kg in a few months with what I like to call the unemployed dirty bulk aka maccas + mass gainer every day, I really just wanted to 'bulk up' a bit and didn't think much of it at the time just some home gym and ate a shit load whilst being at home all day not working, I mean yeh it bulked me up a bit but really did put on fat too. I cut out the take away, started working again and joined gym with Birds for the last 5 months and counting, down to 73-74kg at the moment and way more definition & muscle, main thing I changed was bringing brown rice and chicken in every day to work rather than eating what ever the canteen had.. burgers etc. seems to be working so far so I'll stick to it.

Also to add, my question is what do people think of fruits?

Yep and people will explain it away as some magical skinny person bullshit that apparently fat people are born without. Conversely, skinny people will say they can't gain weight no matter how much they eat...I call bullshit on both parts. Genetic differences only take you so far in the case of the average person.

I can give someone vastly different to me, my diet and exercise routine, and given enough time, they will start to develop a body like mine. Case in point; Leigh.

What you are bascially pointing out is correct and works, energy in vs energy used. If you eat less than you use then you lose weight. For the most part it is hard work.

How much lean muscle you can have is the trickier bit. That is genetics and diet. Some will need to do alot more work on diet to get as lean as 10% others not so much. But, you certainly aren't in the 'do bugger all ' category to get lean, you are doing the work for sure.

The game changes according to what physique you want as well.

Everyone is different when it comes to fat loss and muscle gain. Hormones and genetics are not the same.

So the same diet may not work for everyone, just like the same training strategy doesn't work for everyone.

Anyway it works for you so good luck

I agree with that!

Speaking of, how has the fat loss been going for you? Haven't seen a build thread update for a bit...

Not great. Had a month of high stress at work, diet and excersise suffered. Lost weight probably as a result but, the wrong kind due to skipping meals at work.

So far this morning I've consumed:

~1.5L water total

multivitamin

2 scoops (60g) BN vanilla WPI

1 scoop fine powdered oats

Regular skim flat white, no added sugar

Ham, cheese, and tomato toasted croissant

Double choc hot cross bun

Strawberry choc hot cross bun

Am I doing it right? I'm aiming for ~1kg of fat loss per week while I gain at least 2kg lean muscle mass in the same period.

PLS ADVICE

"hrm...

Also to add, my question is what do people think of fruits?

Fruits are a good source of...

* antioxidants

* complex carbs as fuel

* enzymes

* precursors for good prostaglandins

Fruits are best taken local and in season.

Have you noticed that local winter fruits are good for the immune system? Winter apples have seeds rich in Vit B17 or Laetrile. Winter grapes have seeds rich in resveratrol. Tis good to eat the seeds.

Have you noticed that local summer fruits are good for the skin? Apricots and paw paw for example.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Watermouse · Posted

      I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again

      Rv37 400r questions

      By sonicii · Posted

      No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
