chris_w_65 Posted January 7, 2011 Share you meant that a given volume unit of body fat contains only 85% (7.7 / 9 = 85%) actual fat. That means that you will lose 1 kg of weight (by burning 7700 kCal), but 15% is water, so you still didn't lose a kg of fat... Fact is that a kg of fat is a kg of fat, and it allways has 9000 kCal per kg. Whether you consume it, or whether you burn it, so no, you have to burn 9000 kCal to lose 1 kg of fat Yes, but remember that 15% water is gone with the fat forever.I have now lost 20kg. That means I lost 17kg fat and 3kg water. I have nowhere to store that water now. I lost the 20kg of weight by burning 154000 Calories and not 180000 Calories. Had I burned the full 180000 I would have lost more weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris and Rudi Us "Kilojoule challenged" vetties just want to loose it man , I really think we should keep it simple.In my humble opinion we are trying to split "boll hair" here by arguing about water retention and what not , Lets just weigh in on Monday and see where we get ?No offence intended, but the latter part of the string was starting to smell of Big-H/TheBreak "Hanging hub" stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravity Posted January 7, 2011 Share i am an advocate of the KISS principle. eat burgers, drink beer get fateat healthy, feel healthy, lose weight. apart from going on the p1ss every now and then, and sometimes (ok more often than sometimes) binge eating. i generally thought that i eat healthily, but if you spend some time googling, and then when you shop take 30 secs extra on each item and read the nutritional values, you will be astounded. One of my fav things are those little 50g (or are they 30g i forget) purple packs of peanuts and raisins.........until i looked at the kj that they have (i did that yest)i will not touch those little packs of heaven again. We also need to get into and learn the nitty gritty, but i think that it is far more important to understand that it isnt a diet or restriction. it is a lifestyle change, we are deciding to become a healthier fitter person, by overhauling your eating habits primarily. #Soppieness enabled i am glad that so many people are joining in on this, and i think it is going to be fun and frustrating, and downright irritating, but we are all up for the PERSONAL challenge #Soppieness Disabled As for weightloss.Last night I ate a huge plate of Ostrich Babootie and a large piece of RAD wedding cake + 4 heinekens and a glass of champagne.....and i dont regret it.

Squashed Posted January 8, 2011 Share livestrong.com has quite a nice food tracker - also available for mobile phones (at least b/berry and iphone that I saw). The b/berry app seems to work great, and not too much of a pain in the ass to quickly enter stuff. Nice database of food too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squashed Posted January 8, 2011 Share I better eat something just now. Only on 714 for the day so far same predicament... 1/2 hr gym this morning, 1 hr cycling just now. never actually recorded each item i monch until today, and i've eaten through my "standard weekend day" (quite healthy), and now am at 30% of what i should be eating. Hmm. I have read that one needs to eat small and often, and especially to make sure the body doesn't go into starvation mode (like thats possible with me........ lol) but this is going to feel like over-eating. Think I read somewhere that the recommended deficit is around 500 cal / day for a 500 g / week weight loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squashed Posted January 8, 2011 Share Aah ha. I see where the problem is now. Supper and its related nibblies. One snack later on and its goodnight to the required deficit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_w_65 Posted January 8, 2011 Share I must have pigged out at supper, I am on 1362 now for the day. 500 deficit/day for 500g per week is good Problem is different calculators on the internet give different answers with the same data. My reccomended to maintain weight varies from 2000 to 2500 and that is the difference between losing or not losing. After 4 weeks you should have an idea if you need to reduce your intake downwards or if you are doing it right. When you are doing a calorie requirement calculation and if you have an HRM then I suggest you choose an activity level that does not include exercise (like sedentary), it will be more accurate for you to factor in the calorie consumption from your HRM rather than use their guestimate as to how hard or how long you may train.
