1G Protein - 4 kcal
1G Carb - 4 kcal
1G fat - 9kcal
calorie deficit = weightloss. Limiting fat intake will obviously help you lose weight.
I dont know what you're trying to spoon feed here fledz. |

How about this, try eating 48 eggs whole a week. That's right 7 eggs each day just like a protein shake whole. Try it for about 3 months then get a physical. |
Pfft. Mariusz Pudzianowski eats 10 eggs and 2-3 lbs of bacon every day, and that's just breakfast. |

Also ziptnf - If you're trying to lose weight, then carbohydrates and sugar are what you should be targeting, not fats. It's quite simple, if you burn off more kilojoules than you take in, you lose weight. More muscle mass also increases your resting metabolism. In practice it's quite straight forward. Focusing on fats and the amount of cholesterol will get you nowhere fast. |

that last point was directed towards weightloss.
point 1:
Cholesterol is significant, albeit not as significant as it is generally portrayed to be, but none the less significant (case in point the eggs eggsample :p )
I showed this by the amount of LDL cholesterol contained in 1 egg. If you can't change your low cholesterol through diet? then how else are you suppose to change it.. through drugs? People who eat unhealthy, high cholesterol foods WILL be definatley more suceptible to high cholesterol. I'm not talking about the outliers who have abnormal cholesterol metabolism im talking a general correlation here.
point 2:
Of course the amount of fats you ingest will effect your weight loss. Weight loss is controlled by creating a calorie deficit. If you eat high calorie foods you will gain weight (this is a no brainer) now if fats have the highest caloric density, out of fats carbs and proteins, what does that tell you about ingesting fats? and how will reducing fat intake effect net calories per day?
This is a general formula here which can also be affected by metabolism.
FOOD goes in as carbs, fats and protein = 100% energy.
Energy remaining, not used and stored => fat |

It actually does not matter what foods you eat when creating a calorific deficit. In my final year of university I lost about 20lbs in three months despite eating non-stop junk food just because I had a calorific deficit. You can live on fried chicken and whiskey and you'll still lose weight if you have a deficit. And eggs are not "high calorie food". Even eating seven whole eggs a day will only give you around 560 calories, which is not a deal breaker.
The argument isn't anywhere near this simple, anyway. You can lose weight indiscriminately simply by creating a deficit, but the real challenge of weight loss is losing bodyfat while maintaining lean muscle mass. That's more complex - it's not just what you eat but how regularly you eat, the size of the meals and the proportional nutritional composition of each meal. |

So yeah.
As I said a while ago, I switched up a couple things. My arms were looking too beefy so instead of doing dips I'm doing overhead tricep extensions. 3 sets of 20 @ 10 lbs. Made a big difference. I dropped the weight and increased the reps on my bicep curls too.
I do goblet squats with a 40lb dumbbell, and dead lifts with about 55 lbs.
Also been doing jackknife situps (love em!), and I'm up to 75-80 seconds with planks (still hate 'em :mad: ). |
