I like average build legs with no muscle

I like skinny legs with no definition or muscle

[miserybusiness]

All of them look good except for the last guy

That's some next level fotoshop

[Asker]

Is there a favorite?

[miserybusiness]

1 and 2, I guess.

[Michamabelle]

i don't like when it's TOOOOOOO muscular, but i don't mind a bit of muscles :)

[Asker]

Which ones the ideal amount of muscle

[Michamabelle]

probably the first, but if my boyfriend is like the second or third, i won't mind, i'm to going to break up with him just for that, it would be stupid. :)

[Michamabelle]

why, what's yours?

[Asker]

If i dont diet right when i workout its number 1, if i diet its number 2. Im trying to find what most girls would think is ideal

[Michamabelle]

diet? why do you feel the need to diet? just eat healthy and workout :)

[Asker]

Okay i mean diet so that i get the right amount of nutrients needed to fuel my workout and recover, and put on the muscle mass i want. If you dont time your meals right or eat enough of what you shuld you could actually lose muscle mass working out. Thats what i mean by diet. Whether or not i eat healthy on the side is how i feel at the moment

[Michamabelle]

ohhh ok, you're right. So which one then?

[Asker]

i dont do fad diets, its usually best to stay away from them cuz their usualy not based on whats effective, more so towards the biggest trends in exercise and nutrition at that moment. If you take a sports nutrition class or a regular nutrition class in college you'll see what im talking about.

but ill find out the amount of calories, carbs, protein, and fat i need in my diet to support everything. so first ill see how many calories i need just to stay alive (like if all i did was lay in bed and didn't move), i think its called RMR (resting metabolic rate). From there i find out how many calories, how many grams of protein, carbs, and healthy fat i need in my diet to support the habit/workouts im going to be doing. If im not working out, or not moving around much, then i go by what extra calories i would need on top of my RMR to support that, along with eating the recomended amount of grams per kilo of my bodyweight in carbs, protein, and healthy fat for it.
... hold on i got more coming.

[Asker]

now if im working out, i see how many extra calories and grams per kilo of carbs and protein i need to support my workouts and goals. Like different types of activities have different dietary needs, like strength training needs and gaining muscle need more protein, and a certain amount of carbs, protein is either 1.2-1.7 grams per kilo or 1.5-2 grams per kilo, there isn't an agreement between the scientific community between them so its best to split it down the middle around 1.6, there's no evidence that more protein than 2grams per kilo that actually helps build more muscle and it can cause organ damage down the road if you keep doing it, that overemphasizing protein so your eating way more than that is part of the trend/fads i was telling you about. there's a certain range of grams/kilo of carbs you should be eating too, its not on the top of my head right now. and you should be eating an extra 500 calories (or 700) per day to build muscle. bodybuildings a little different but...

basically high intensity exercises that are usually short term like sprinting, weightlifting heavy weights-low reps, strength training, bodybuilding, usually require more protein. and endurance exercises like distance running require more carbs than other exercises, the longer the run the more you'll need. Basically my nutrition textbook has a chart that has a list of sports and activities that tells you the range of carbs and protein per bodyweight you'll typically need to support it. And carbs fuel your workout, the saying that protein fuels your workout is a myth. Your body's main energy source is carbs, your stores it and converts it to the sugar molecule glucose for energy. And if you only consume protein but neglect your carb intake (or if its not enought), your body isn't going to use protein to build/repair muscle, fight infections, and other functions its supposed to be doing, its going to convert the protein into the sugar molecule glucose and be the main energy source instead...

[Asker]

of building muscle like you wanted or regulating functions in the body.

Short term high intensity exercises use Creatine Phosphate as its main source, then if you go longer a different energy system takes over which uses the glucose as the main fuel, then after that in endurance activites, fat starts being the main source of energy as your stored glucose starts to run out. so i think it was under 10-12 reps or under 10 seconds your using Creatine Phosphate, after that from 11-2 or 3 minutes your using glucose as your fuel but without oxygen, then if you continue working out you'll start relying on an stored glucose and fat. the average person starts burning fat as the main energy source at about 18-20 minutes of endurance activity. also the main energy source at rest is fat. and keep in mind all energy systems are working all the time, its just one gets emphasized during certain activities. So doing sprints isn't a good way to burn fat, your actually burning more fat just sitting...

[Asker]

around. And as i said before that last energy system that starts working uses carbs and fat as the main source. If i wanna refuel during a race or if I've been working out for an 1 hour, ill will eat/drink a high glycemic food or drink. Keep in mind dietitians (professionals in the field of nutrition) don't like labeling carbs 'good' or 'bad' because they all have their place. They are usually labeled as "bad carbs" those are like gaterade, sugary foods, white bread, high sugar low fiber, it basically gives a short high spike in blood glucose/sugar, and that is actually good for recovery. The high glycemic foods get absorbed faster and refuel your storage of glucose better, thus refueling you for the workout, or the next workout if you are finished. this is basically the only time I've seen dietians actually prescribe food like that. thats why gaterade was made, for athletes basically. If you finished your workout and its a workout where you'll actually need a carbohydrate drink to refuel...

[Asker]

your body and energy source, then the quicker you consume it the better. off the top of my head i can't tell you how much you need but whether or not you need it, you should always eat 3-1 ratio of carbs and protein along with some healthy fat thats either monounsaturated or polyunsaturated. also consume foods with fiber after a workout, Like 'whole grain' wheat bread, fruit, and vegetables. keep in mind grains like, rice, bread, oats, etc. aren't whole grain unless the earliest ingredients on the ingredient list say 'whole-grain'. there's wheat bread that isn't whole grain and its market as healthy when its not. Whole grain means the fiber and nutrients were left intact instead of getting destroyed during processing. So like if i was strength training, no more than 20 grams of protein right after i work out, and every hour or so eat a specified amount for bodyweight. There is no evidence that more than 20 grams of protein right after a workout helps more than 20grams. and you should be..

[Asker]

eating foods that have a lot of nutrients per calorie, after your first recovery meal, you should be eating specified number of carbs that have fiber and are nutrient dense (have a lot of nutrients per calorie). also i could get into what you should be eating before your workout, but i feel its a lot already, you can ask if you wanna know.

also water, hydrate, weight yourself before the workout then after. you should be consuming x liters of water for y pounds/kilos lost. also the day after is the most important for building muscle and recovery. so you have to eat specified amount of carbs and protein for your bodyweight and fat at certain periods throughout the day.

if i wanted to lose weight, i would make sure all my calories, protein, carb, fat, vitamin, and mineral needs were taken care of first. I would look at what amount of all these would be need to maintain my weight at my current activity level. then i would eat foods that are high in nutrients but low in calories so...

[Asker]

i could limit my calorie intake. Lowering calorie intake is what makes you lose weight, even if you only ate healthy foods but didn't lower your calorie intake, you wouldn't lose any weight. So minds fuzzy on this but i think you shouldn't lower it more than to 1500 calories per day. basically find out how much you need to maintain your body weight and consume 500 calories less per day while still getting all the nutrients you need. also exercise to burn calories, different exercises will burn different amount of calories. Like high intesity burns a lot for a really short time, but you'll get tired really fast and won't be able to keep up, endurance exercise burns less intially but it adds up over a long period of time doing it. or if you wanna do something in between, makes sure you account for the extra calories and nutrients you need to support the exercise too and add them into your diet. if you are an athlete, you shouldn't be consuming less than 2000 calories a day...

[Asker]

its best to do both and eat healthy while lowering calorie intake and exercising to lose weight. you shouldn't lose more than 2 pounds per week because more than that is mostly losing water weight and lean body mass (fat free mass).

if you want to gain weight, you eat high nutrient density foods. add 500 calories to the diet you need to maintain your weight, and fill it with high nutrient and fiber carbs, protein, and heart healthy fat (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated). if you want to put on muscle, keep in mind that you'll only put on 1 pound per week of muscle tops.

also keep in mind it will be hard to lose weight/fat and gain muscle at the same time. apparently they are opposite processes and would be more effecient if done seperately, so build muscle first and lose fat next or the other way around.

example of heart healthy fats would be olive oil, usually fats that are liquid at room temperature are healthy or neutral you can look on the nutrition label. ...

[Asker]

example of post workout meal would be, a ham sandwich on whole wheat bread, and a bannana, maybe with olive oil/other heart healthy oil mixed in the dressing on the sandwhich. not sure if that sounds gross but its mentioned that you can mix it with ranch dressing for your salads and vegetables. or you can have chocolate milk and fruit/vegetables. you can mix and match add stuff you would like eating, etc.
If you had an endurance workout or worked out for 1 hour or longer, add a carbohydrate sports drink like gaterade with it.

any questions? im not sure if I explained it enough and i had to leave stuff out or id be teaching you all the classes info. or if you wanted to know about pre workout/game meals. like mix protein carbs and fat in your meals but only consume 1g of fiber per hour before the event/workout. like 1 hour before 1g of fiber, 2 hours 2gs, etc.

oh wow! you said it all! :) thank you
