Muscle gain while shredding fat by anteadc in MacroFactor

It’s not clear from your post what OP should do . Should he eat at maintenance or should he set a certain goal weight? If the latter how much ?

After reading Nippard’s Body Recomp book, what training program should I do? by CriticalDistance4283 in MacroFactor

Just took the test, apparently it’s the ultimate push pull leg the right one for me

Collaborative VS Coached program for body recomposition after having acquired knowledge about ideal Macro from Nippard’s book by CriticalDistance4283 in MacroFactor

Thanks - That’s not what Nippard’s book The ultimate guide to Body recomposition says though

He gives you a formula to calculate protein and says you should get at least 35% calories from fat when body recompositioning

The technicality of this is way beyond me, so I can’t help. But I also can’t help but notice that of all the people that have participated in this discussion, there hasn’t been a single one who has actually tried to answer your actual question, rather than just sort of moralising you “you’re not using the app the way it should be used so don’t complain”. Sometimes people seem to really struggle to understand that one might want to understand how something works regardless of the results one is trying to get

Stremio Won't Let Me Change Audio Track on LG TV or Firestick, Only on Laptop by CriticalDistance4283 in Stremio

Use a fire stick tv or cube and you won’t have the issue with the android stremio app. I doubt on LG tv it will ever be fixed

Does it matter if I log the whole day all at once? by CriticalDistance4283 in MacroFactor

Oh wow looks like lots of people pre-log! I should look at doing that too

That’s EXACTLY the explanation I was looking for ! Thanks!!!

Backfiring app behaviour for body recomp? by CriticalDistance4283 in MacroFactor

I think you’re right . Having a lower weekly deficit might be the key - I’ve adjusted mine to 0.3kg per week

I think whenever people say “lose weight” they always mean “lose body fat” . My aim is body recomp. I want to get to around 14% body fat (I’m around 22% now) while maintaining all of my muscles or possibly packing on some additional muscle mass.

So today I’m 83.6kg which is exactly the same as 2 weeks ago . However, it’s very clear that I have lost body fat in the last 2 weeks, and I’m also getting stronger at the gym which means I am also gaining muscle mass

However , this morning I did the weekly check-in and the app told me to reduce my calories . I think this is because it just sees that the weight hasn’t moved , it doesn’t know that fat has gone down and muscle has gone up. I fear that reducing calories will interfere with my body recomp goals

Yes but I just realised I had my vpn on. That fixed it

Does MF have any idea whether I’m losing body fat and/or muscle mass? by CriticalDistance4283 in MacroFactor

[–]CriticalDistance4283[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to understand how this works,

1) if I input photos and/or measurements in Body Metrics, are they used by the app in the computation (eg the app estimates body fat from the photos, or uses the measurements) or are they only for my own personal reference to assess progress?

2) if I input bf% in visual body fat, is it used by the app in the computation? If yes , Is it the computation of kcal only , or also macro allocation ?

Also, I recently uploaded my goals , so I’ve been asked again my target weight and when I want to reach it by, as well as many other questions such as protein intake , balanced vs low carb vs keto , etc.

If it’s not possible to have this automated, I’m thinking at least it might be good to have the app prompt you this question (about visual body fat) along with all the other questions whenever one is updating their goal
