howdiekat Posts: 1,345 Joined: 2003/05/22	2005/03/09, 10:12 PM actually i hit 180g/protien and i don't go above 30g/fat. a slight difference. as of right now, i have taken in 160g of protein and only 23g/fat. if i eat another tuna packet i'll be at 181g/protein and 23.5g/fat. it's possible, your math is wrong. -------------- if you get me started on quentin tarantino films, chances are you won't be able to shut me up. excuses are really good for making you fat. margarine is a liar who announces, "i am butter!"

Also the amount of fat she takes in has nothing to with burning it on cardio. -------------- I am that which must be feared, worshipped and adored.

howdiekat Posts: 1,345 Joined: 2003/05/22	2005/03/09, 10:24 PM what are you talking about? i don't subract fat grams for how much cardio i do, that's just silly. i don't eat more than 6 oz of tuna in a day. that's 2 packets (42g/protein, 1g/fat, 180 calories). i put a scoop of whey in my oatmeal(or yogurt) for breakfast, i drink a pwo shake, i eat egg whites, maybe a chicken breast, and if i'm still lacking i'll have an mrp. sometimes you have to do "ridiculous" things to reach your nutrition goals, but to people who are committed to eating properly, it's not ridiculous, it's normal. reaching your recommended intake is possible if you want it to be. -------------- if you get me started on quentin tarantino films, chances are you won't be able to shut me up. excuses are really good for making you fat. margarine is a liar who announces, "i am butter!"

howdiekat Posts: 1,345 Joined: 2003/05/22	2005/03/09, 10:35 PM boxer, i'm not offended i'm just trying to show you that it's possible to do without making any special deductions. it is not an easy thing to do, but you CAN do it if you are dedicated enough. it doesn't matter to me if people think what i do is weird — at least i have a body i'm proud of to show for it. -------------- if you get me started on quentin tarantino films, chances are you won't be able to shut me up. excuses are really good for making you fat. margarine is a liar who announces, "i am butter!"

It also depends on what your body can take and use and what your workout is like. -------------- FOR MY WIFE: THE HIGH COST OF LIVING AINT NOTHING COMPARED TO THE COST OF LIVING HIGH. 7707mutt@freetrainers.com
