If crunches give a person neck-pain, they're doing it wrong.

Can I put my hands on my chest? So I don't have to put any pressure on my neck.

You could. One way to make sure you're not straining your neck is to see if you can move your head (nod/shake/whatever) in any segment of the movement, ie top/middle/bottom. Your neck should be relaxed while keeping the focus on the abdominals to do the work in a crunch. If you start to feel your neck getting tight or sore, stop and review your form.

During the exercise? Cardio will burn more fat because aerobic/cardio exercises uses fat for energy whereas weightlifting/anerobic exercises uses glycogen. But, the burning fat burning effect will stop when the exercise stop. But why people highly recommend weightlifting to burn fat? Doing weightlifting if done correctly will increase muscle mass which will contribute to higher BMR thus higher metabolism. Higher metabolism = high calorie maintenance = lots of calorie can be burn through food/fat.

Bekal from home is the best way if you are working. You can't afford to take a 20 minutes break every 2-3 hours right? But for me, I'm not fond of eating small meals every 2-3 hours. I like to eat 3 big meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner) but I'm wondering about the protein digesting capability. I know that the 30g protein per serving limit is a myth but 60g protein during a meal? All of it is absorb or most of them is not? Any idea guys? 
You can use the not so accurate BioElectrical Impedance (BEI) machine. Or you can use the manual fat calliper.

Hard to say, really. For example, I've read in one of the pages in the leangains site where MB mentioned something about instances where the largest meal of the day may sometimes contain up to 100g protein.

That is what I hold onto since I'm now on leangains protocol. The maximum protein that I consume is 70g per meal, my bodyweight is 200lbs and my protein intake is 146g. I'm not using the bodybuilding protein ratio rule which is the 1g protein/1lbs but I do see muscle gain. So I can conclude that 70g protein per meal is ok right?

I'm really in no position to say if it's okay or not. But a rule I go by is that if you're seeing progress, stick with it until said progress stops. biggrin.gif

just curious whether to do fast or slow sit ups..

I know I will do it more properly when doing it slowly, but I feel more stress on my abs when doing it fast(due to having to use more resistance when doing down fast)

cuz if I do it slowly, I use lesser resistance when going down as slow speed.

is sit ups the same logic with push ups? cuz with push up, I do it fast to train more power, and I do it slow to train more endurance.

You can do the positive half (going up) quickly if you're looking to improve explosiveness. But you should really control the negative portion, no matter the exercise. The keyword being control, this could be a 1 second negative, or a 10 second negative, it's up to you. As long as you're not letting gravity do all the work.

grilled chicken and beef steak is quite hard to find. i remember i didn't  eat chicken for 2-3 weeks at one time when i was in philippines.

bodyweight exercises using equipment? can suggest any equipment that's easy to carry for travel ? i was thinking resistance band right now.

IMO, resistance bands are the best piece of equipment you can have for training while travelling.

i saw that one in fitness concept, around MY98 i think.
which one is better, the band that look like a big giant rubber band, or the one that has hand grip?
*
The one that looks like a big rubber band offers more variety.
