How so (in terms of body composition)? Say TDEE = 3000 and one disregards macro/micros and eats at 2500 for 20 weeks opposed to one who ensures appropriate amounts.
- lamby 11y agoWell, not eating protein will mean you lose more muscle mass.
- dylanjermiah 11y ago>'world of difference' Say 100g compared to 200g for a 75kg 10% male, assuming identical AA profile. How is there a 'world of difference'?
- lamby 11y agoBy "world of difference" I was talking about mental state; blood sugar crashes, crap food making you feel crap, etc.
- dylanjermiah 11y ago>but there is an world of difference being, say, 400kcal under your TDEE eating "better" foods versus junk, both in terms of your mental outlook, how your body will look at the end I agree with those points, I was referencing this above. Especially the last sentence.
- unprepare 11y agolosing muscle mass = losing weight What you are defending is fitness, what we are discussing is weight loss If you are 580 pounds heavy, restricting the number of calories you consume is far more important than making sure x% of your calories are from fats/carbs/proteins. The only bearing food choice has on this matter is how full you will feel, and that is matter of personal preference and a small bit of choosing more protein rich foods, but if you don't mind feeling hungry you can lose weight just as well on 3 snickers bars as 3 chicken breasts with rice. see http://www.boredpanda.com/what-200-calories-look-like/ http://www.boredpanda.com/what-200-calories-look-like/ for a visualization of how healthier foods will make you feel more full. for example, 200 calories of M&Ms is 40 grams, the same number of calories from apples is 385 grams - almost 10 times as much physical stuff occupying your stomach
