Hi, new here. I would like to know whether or not rice or anything that made from it is a nono if you wish to lose body fat %. I run around 5km+ every 2 days, go for work, and do a little bit of chores everyday, that's my routine. Are there any specific amount of carb intake when counting? Or do you just count calories per se?
Thanks! |

QUOTE(kshen @ Apr 10 2015, 09:39 PM) check out myfitnesspal. Probably the most accurate app I'd say. Using it at the moment. Not sure if I should follow the apps recommended caloric intake, or should I stick to the 20% deficit from my BMR?This post has been edited by syabilng: Apr 11 2015, 08:06 AM |

QUOTE(kshen @ Apr 11 2015, 10:06 AM) Yea , that's a dilemma , here's what I do , I'll get my required intake via IIFYM calculator , they have 3 categories : suggested , aggressive and reckless . I'll make a range out of these values e.g. my lowest is 1900 and my highest is 2200, it'll be 1900-2200. That's a pretty good idea. Today's my first day!As for the app, follow the caloric intake they suggest, but if it's too low ,, you can still follow BUT make sure to hit a few calories higher than that. This also allows you to indulge a little bit more lol |
