To answer your first posted question. When calories are below mantainence you will lose fat. Refer to the formula in the eating for size article.

Lower carbs is ok, relative to total calories in a day. However I seriously don't believe that the kind of low carb diet that atkins recommends is healthy. Especially if you're wanting to gain any muscle or have any kind of energy. Carbs are what give you the energy, and the daily vitamins...

Whats up with Fitday.com lately, its down again. Today its been down all morning and is still down. Its been going down quite often lately. It would really suck if it ended up going down for good.

Personally I do the same for cardio that I do for HST days. Been doing that for 6 mo. now, So far no aliens have burst from my chest but I'll find out eventually.

Why 2 servings Steve?

Well, 240/260 mg of dha/epa a day is the recommended dosage by the american heart assoc. However thats even if you have bleeding issues. If no blood problems then up to 6g is good.

I've ordered liquid CLA with Clarinol, it'll be here today I think. I'll be taking the daily recommended dosage for 2 months, I'll report the results afterwards. Its important to take it at the right time and very consistantly. I have a feeling I wont see anything significantly different for...

8 grams unless you've got a bleeding condition, in that case just 1. Generally thats 1 tablespoon of Flax, but I recommend Fish gel caps, it will say how much each cap contains and thats how much you take depending. Refer to FAQ on Supplements.

I heard honey will speed it up. Good stuff before bed.

Thats hilarious. Try taking more trips to the bathroom?

Fat doesn't slow or prevent protien absorbtion. Thats funny since it's the oposite of a myth that fat was required for protein to be absorbed. I'd eat the whole egg, egg fat isn't bad.

Why just the whites? More protein in the whole egg. Good question though because I'm out of whey too.

EAS sells CLA for 24 dollars a bottle. The bottle lasts 15 days. Thats expensive in my book, 48 dollars a month, plus shipping if you order online. Is it worth it? Is there a better brand that's cheaper? Is it really effective enough to bother with?

Age could definately be a more significant consideration if you're over 40. I'm not sure by how much. It may not be much.

Mantainence is determined by the formula: (your current weight / 2.2) 24 hrs= X X(activity level)= mantainence calories so if my weight is 190 pounds, I take 190 190/2.2 = 86.3636 KG 86.3636 x 24 hrs = 2072.72 activity level 1.1 = sedentary activity level 1.2 = sitting, some movement...

Ok then I just ordered the Fish oil called (alaska deep sea fish oil) that seemed to be pretty common out there. Ordered plenty to last a while luckily it's cheap. Says its got the recommended amount of EPA DHA per serving. Now to find CLA, I saw EAS has some but HOLY CRAP thats expensive...

Both Fish oil and Flax oil contain a good amount of Omega 3's and 6's. Is there any reason for prefering one over the other? Are pills less effective than actually putting the oil into a shake? Ok went and looked up some stuff and found this more technical explanation which seems to point to...

Its been tested in many case studies that vitamin C alone is what prevents scurvy and boosts the immune system in its ability to fight disease. I'm not sure where you're getting your doubts on this but this has been a known fact for several years now. Food is better, but not for the reasons...

Strangely the GNC 100% whey I get tastes just fine. I mix it in about 2 cups of water, milk, or 1 cup water and 1 cup milk..then after drinking that I fill the glass back up to get the remainder and drink that while I down my vitamins. I also mix it with creatine before workout.

Or why not just drink some gatoraid during workout? If you eat before a workout I'd eat a banana, that seems to give me plenty of energy to work with.
