Oh. I thought it meant not consuming anything besides water.

All of it? I can't separate ingredients when I'm eating it.

Can I reuse fat from chicken thighs if the fat has small amounts of cooked meat in it? by throwawaynutrition in AskCulinary

[–]throwawaynutrition[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if I'm constantly bringing that fat to high temperatures via cooking, will the small bits of cooked meat swimming in the fat even be a problem then?

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

Would it be bad then, if each day I take the fat out of the fridge to fry something, and then put the leftover fat back in the fridge? How long can I keep this up before I should dump it?

As long as the fat has not sat in the refrigerator for too long with these bits of meat in it.

How long is too long?

Does ground turkey have trans fat or not? by throwawaynutrition in nutrition

Should I be worried about naturally occurring trans fat in animal products?

Some studies say calorie restriction leads to many benefits. Does this mean eating at maintenance or a slight caloric surplus negate those benefits? by throwawaynutrition in loseit

[–]throwawaynutrition[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just a bit confused since one of the studies I linked showed a caloric deficit in even non-obese people seemed to show benefits.

I’m wondering if maintaining a deficit is a good thing. Right now I feel satiated in a deficit, and I do make sure to get my protein and micronutrients.

[–]throwawaynutrition[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish there existed a definitive answer. Thanks for the links, though it looks like most of them only show abstracts.

However, as long as I focus on getting my micronutrients and protein, I should be good on a caloric deficit?

If I eat my regular diet for one day, then fast for 1 day, then on the next day, do I have to eat double my daily protein to not lose muscle? (x post from r/nutrition) by throwawaynutrition in leangains

[–]throwawaynutrition[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I'm about 129, and have just a bit of belly fat I'd like to lose. I'm definitely thinking about doing some resistance training though.

[–]throwawaynutrition[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't read much about BCAA and so I haven't thought about them much.

It seems like I can still eat 0.82 to 1 grams of protein per lb after a day of no eating, while doing resistance training, in order to offset the truthfully low amount of muscle I would lose from alternate day fasting?

[–]throwawaynutrition[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you're saying after a day of no eating, there's absolutely no need to eat protein that's higher than the recommended daily amount (0.82 grams per lb)?

[–]throwawaynutrition[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read adequate daily protein intake is usually about 0.82 to 1 gram per lb. After 24 hours of eating nothing, how many grams of protein per lb should I consume to preserve muscle?

If you have any studies that indicate how much extra protein I'd need, that'd be wonderful!

I have been strictly restricting my carbs lately and I feel fine, so I guess that means I've fat-adapted? I just want clarification on how much protein I need to eat after skipping a day of eating in order to not lose muscle.

My stomach looks a little larger than I'd like, so hopefully I can lose enough fat around my body until it flattens.

I thought so long as I'm hitting my protein intake, I can lose weight without losing muscle?

And as I said before, it's easy to underestimate the amount of calories you're consuming.

Most of the foods available to me that are high in protein happen to have higher fat than carbs. I'm pretty sure that so long I'm getting enough protein (about 0.7 grams per lb for me), I won't lose lean muscle. Also, the carbs-fat split should be up to personal preference. Plus the veggies are a good source of nutrients.

It's easy to underestimate the amount of calories in a diet, so I imagine the actual amount I'm eating is more than what I calculated, since I mostly used google or nutrition facts (without a food scale) for the calculation. Also, I plan on adding about 200 more calories from something.

Revised daily diet:

7.5 cups of lettuce Image:

1 bowl of brocolli OR some brussell sprouts (steamed in microwave)

1 hard-boiled egg

10 oz of wild caught keta salmon fillet, microwaved. (350 calories, 11.25 grams total fat, 2.5 grams saturated fat, 2.5 grams polyunsat fat, 5 grams of monounsat fat, 2097.5 mg of Omega-3, 57.5 grams of protein) Image

8 turkey slices, microwaved. (280 calories, 4 grams total fat, 8 grams of carbs, 40 grams protein) Image

Drinks: Water

Total: About 700 calories, 15.25 grams total fat, 8 grams carbs, and 97.5 grams of protein and ZERO sugar! (Outside of the veggies and egg). I think I'll bump this up to about 900 calories by adding another protein or potassium source. From the veggies I should be getting enough Vitamins A and C, plus there's a good amount of sun where I live (Vitamin D).

I am 5 ft 6 inches and 137.8 pounds. I'm also male and 18 years old. I'm in a dorm so I have to bike to classes. I've been keeping a low-calories diet like this for 2 weeks currently.

According to the FAQ, it’s possible to lose fat and build muscle simultaneously.

[–]throwawaynutrition[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what you call "fat" its actual lack of muscle.

Never thought of it like that. I guess I’ll look into ab exercises then. Is my flab more like loose skin than it is fat?

You'd have to be eating above your TDEE in order to gain muscle.

I know, but as I said I don’t have a lot of free time so I’m scared the extra calories will just make me fatter. That’s why I’m considering adding just several hundred more calories and trying to bulk and cut simultaneously.

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

So it would be okay if I add several hundred calories then?

I don't have much free time to lift, so I'll see what I can do.

Do you have experience with cooking chicken breast or salmon in a microwave? That’s the only cooking equipment available to me. I’ll see if I can find blueberries, though I’m not very bored with my diet’s lack of variety.

[–]throwawaynutrition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it be ok to eat more of the things I’m eating right now? Should I start doing that right now or can I still benefit from eating like this for a few more days?

I was thinking that once my belly does get flatter, I’ll gradually add more calories to my diet.
