The argument, I've read, is that calorie measurement is far removed from the actual metabolic systems our body uses to breakdown stuff.
So there's a world of difference between 2000-3000 "calories" of meat and protein and 2000-3000 "calories" of starch and sugar.
I'm starting to think calorie counting is worthless beyond reckoning because it fails to take into account the different ways the body reacts to different nutrients.
Its just a good way to get an idea of how your body responds to amounts of food.
Eating less to lose weight works. If it doesn't, then eat even less.
Same for gaining weight by eating more.
The ACTUAL scientifically accurate amount of calories in foods is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is that the units are consistent enough to base your decisions on your results versus the number of calories you have counted.
Basically, calorie counting works regardless of if the calorie content and utilization in the body is actually accurate to what the package says.

It never worked for me. Then I started a keto diet and now I definitely know when "enough is enough". Before I'd try to follow some rule and end up eating a box of triscuits. Now I can eat 1x a day with 6 eggs, 6 pieces of bacon, and 1/2 - 3/4ths gallon of milk without being anxious about wanting to eat some stupid thing.

>The argument, I've read, is that calorie measurement is far removed from the actual metabolic systems our body uses to breakdown stuff.
That argument is wrong. The calorie measurement is based exactly and exclusively on human physiology, with some simplifications (for example, fiber is counted as 2 calories/gram, even though some fibers are 0, others more)
>So there's a world of difference between 2000-3000 "calories" of meat and protein and 2000-3000 "calories" of starch and sugar.
Yes, the meat will probably give you heart disease, cancer or diabetes in the long term. The energy content is identical, however protein has a higher thermic effect than carbohydrates.

Is sips just a meme or do you guys actually drink it? Which is better, Red Bull or some other? I always avoided energy drinks because of their high caffeine.
SIPS ARE JUST A MEME. REAL MEN MAINLINE FOUR FUCKING SCOOPS OF PREWORKOUT.
>>41072625
Scoops of what
>>41072602
High caffeine is a meme. A Monster has 160 mg of caffeine. You can have 400 mg per day with zero problems to your health. I avoid them because they're expensive though.
>>41072625
Expensive as fuck and makes my skin itchy if I have more than one scoop.

How does getting fit cause face gains?
It seems impossible yet every fit guy has a vastly more aesthetic face than before.
Is it because the neck gets thicker or maybe the face becomes squarer? It's obvious that bodyfat plays a large role but even muscular guys who have higher bf look better than before.
Are there any studies on this?
>>41072513
That guy's face is the same?
>>41072513
Photoshop
lower bf% makes your face look less round, this is pretty fucking obvious are you retarded? You need wicked low bf% though like that dude has since he roids
Please BF% estimate
Feel like i have hit a plateau.

My gril has started lifting with me,
After much consideration I decided she'd be fine just doing my ppl routine alongside me, but wanted to get your autistic opinions.
Also what kind of strength gains should I expect her to make? I know they'll be severely stunted in comparison to a bro but I don't wanna run the risk of either pushing her too hard or letting her get away with an easy workout?
>>41071983
>Also what kind of strength gains should I expect her to make?
have you tried googling this? or do you specifically only want anecdotal evidence from men who've never lifted weights before?
>>41072032
Have you tried googling anything about fitness ever? It's a minefield of sports pseudoscience.
