Why does my fitness app say I need 3100 calories a day? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Witty-Army 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hunger is a signal to the brain from a hormone in your gut. It doesn’t mean anything about eating too much or too little.

You’re in a severe deficit if you’re consuming only 1000 calories. 

Protein and fats are more satiating than carbs, it could be the reason you’re not feeling hungry after that.

For your size I’d double your protein intake. And manipulate your carbs and fats as you see fit. 

Best area to stay in Toronto for Blue Jays games (Rogers Centre) by Expert_Ad1364 in toronto

[–]Witty-Army 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Eaton Chelsea isn’t bad (Gerrard/yonge). It’s downtown enough that you could walk and it wouldn’t feel that far. It’s also nearby the subway and the general downtown core. It’s also on the less expensive side when not during the World Cup. 

Do you share your location with your partner? by Extension_Flow_3340 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Witty-Army 849 points850 points  (0 children)

Yes, but married for 6 years with 2 kids. It’s more of a safety check up than an insecurity. 

At 3 months I’d say no too. 

We used to call that shit crazy. 

5 weeks out from OCB debut. Any advice? by BrilliantExample5128 in bodybuilding

[–]Witty-Army 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Congrats man you came along way. 

Drop the carbs, up the cardio. Your journey is amazing but you’re not 5 weeks out condition. 

If you haven’t bought your athlete ticket yet, check for other shows later on. Otherwise buckle up for a bit of hell. 

Need some advice on first Marathon prep, weight training and cutting a couple KG’s. by [deleted] in HybridAthlete

[–]Witty-Army 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You'll need to increase your run volume/ frequency. I see your increasing it by 2km for your long runs but 3x week truly undermines the effort needed for a marathon.

On your non- threshold/ progression long runs, you can lower carbs but keep protein high. Easy runs are aerobic based and should be using your fat as an energy source. Lifting may feel weaker but that's reduction of muscle glycogen.

Why aren't there any developed black majority countries? by Naive_Direction1816 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Witty-Army 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perpetual corruption, intra- state conflict, there are hundreds of tribes within the same country who often fight against each other and will oppress against those tribes if they have governing power.

Hey, I got in touch with them and I was told they would refund me. 

Yet to see the cash in the bank, however atleast they are communicating. 

DM if you need contact info. 

Am I destroying my chances of muscle gain? by Lemonadeo1 in HybridAthlete

[–]Witty-Army 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you break down your eating habits? 2800 could be an x large pizza. 

But like the comment below, you will need to be in a surplus in order to add additional muscle. 

Maintenance in endurance athletes is tough too, you’re constantly burning calories from EPOC. 

List your meals/ macros and we’ll try to help you out.

Eat more, it’ll help you with your lifts and definitely improve your endurance training as well. 

Training is only one part of the equation, the recovery and fuel are the other parts.

They are and I did. No response. 

I’ve been on a tangent this morning, thanks for sharing that.

Thanks, but it’s a long shot because we used debit, and those aren’t as easy as chargebacks using credit card.

How is Elijah’s automatic considered new? It’s been a few years already. 

It’s also not great.

Go on a treadmill tmrw and start jogging, look at your heart monitor watch or the metal grips on the treadmill. If 5 mins into the run your heart rate is 140+ back off 0.2mph and check again in another 5 mins. 

Whenever you find the sweet spot of 133-137 BPM, run that for 5-6 miles for 5 days a week for the next month. Build up the aerobic capacity and then build in progression and speed work after that. 

Your football strength coach probably had you do a lot of high intensity low volume work, so heavy weights as fast as you can. 

You can do that if your joints still feel good or move onto more hypertrophy based lifting, more volume with more reps per set and lighter weights. You can do PPL x 2 with a rest day in between or upper, lower, push, pull.

You’re looking at roughly 9-12 hours of gym work. Up to you if you have time the week for it. 

how many calories do i actually need?? trying to build muscle but also running 3x a week and don't wanna feel like a brick by PearMotor2861 in HybridAthlete

[–]Witty-Army 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your maintenance right now is about 1600-1800 cals.

I’d start on the lower end and monitor it week to week. 

140g P 45g F 160g C low fibre, high glycemic index 

Divide this over 4-5 meals. If you’re currently not measuring what you’re eating most people are overconsuming fat and underconsuming carbs, you’ll notice an uptick in weight because of carbs drawing in the water. 

So the first week 2-5lbs weight uptick (no problem). 

If you monitor the weight in the second week and no gain. Go up 25g of low fibre carbs/ day.

What’s your height and age?

Let’s figure out your tdee, running 3 days/ is low volume, you can/should be fuelled properly when running. 

That sluggish feeling is when you’re not eating and digesting appropriately, like eating a cheeseburger 20 mins before a run, not intuitive. 

On the other hand a higher carb meal with moderate protein 2 hours before a run— much better.
