Low Calorie weight lifting

[xrapidx]

[How did you get 2500 calories maintenance thats an increase of 1000 over bmr, what in my day could possibly consume that many (to return my BMR 1600)

I took my activity level :

3. If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week): BMR x 1.55

If you take

2. 2. If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week): BMR x 1.375

Maintenance is 2234.375

Loss is 1787.

And again, 1,400 is below your BMR - which is unhealthy.

Unfortunately there are different calculations everywhere- I was on a site saying lightly active = BMR x 1.2.
Ok so Maintenance 2234 loss 1787. I guess that sounds more realistic. Only way to get this right is to experiment I guess

Now for the fun part, creating a diet based on this information, does anyone have handy websites laying around

You can try this http://www.swole.me/

Weird arrangement for me.

 

[DrewChan]

Very cool I like that I can choose the foods in each category. Just wonder how balanced/accurate it is.

Hmmm wants me to eat 10 eggs in a day even if I have other protein options available, good idea but yeah....

if you do go that route i suggest removing the yokes from all except one as that is a whole lot of cholesterol

 

[xrapidx]

I eat a cup of egg whites every day for breakfast... not sure how many eggs it is.

A while back I was eating 9 egg whites and 3 whole eggs every morning.

Egg Nutrition and Heart Disease : Eggs aren't the dietary demons they're cracked up to be

JULY 2006

Common misconceptions keep many people, especially those worried about heart disease, from eating eggs. The July issue of the Harvard Heart Letter unscrambles the dietary facts and myths about the egg.

Fact: Eggs are a good source of nutrients. One egg contains 6 grams of protein and some healthful unsaturated fats. Eggs are also a good source of choline, which has been linked with preserving memory, and lutein and zeaxanthin, which may protect against vision loss.

Fact: Eggs have a lot of cholesterol. The average large egg contains 212 milligrams of cholesterol. As foods go, that’s quite a bit, rivaled only by single servings of liver, shrimp, and duck meat.

Myth: All that cholesterol goes straight to your bloodstream and then into your arteries. Not so. For most people, only a small amount of the cholesterol in food passes into the blood. Saturated and trans fats have much bigger effects on blood cholesterol levels.

Myth: Eating eggs is bad for your heart. The only large study to look at the impact of egg consumption on heart disease—not on cholesterol levels or other intermediaries—found no connection between the two. In people with diabetes, though, egg-a-day eaters were a bit more likely to have developed heart disease than those who rarely ate eggs.

If you like eggs, eating one a day should be okay, especially if you cut back on saturated and trans fats. Other ways to enjoy eggs without worrying about cholesterol include not eating the yolk, which contains all the cholesterol, or using pourable egg whites or yolk-free egg substitutes.

I'm also researching a new approach to weight loss based on high protein and fat intake with significantly reduced carb intake as proposed by Tim Noakes, some interesting reading listed below:
