Lift, Train, Fitness

The exercise study highlights a couple of thing, one is that when you exercise you may not actually be burning as many calories as you think. It also highlights that people have a strong tendency to overcompensate the calorie burn with consuming extra calories. An often seen debate online is should you eat back exercise calories, based on the the answer would have to be no. One of the other problems is that overcompensation with food for exercise can be subconscious especially if you are not closely tracking your food intake.

I have seen examples here often enough where the comment will be along the lines of "I have been exercising but still gained weight an I am still eating the same" but when you dig down often it is a case of lack of accurate food tracking and adding one or two more mouth full of food and not actually burning as many calories as believed.

I have also noticed that a lot of people have difficulty rating their level of exertion when training.
 
Hm, I don't think that's very significant. How does it help other than to let you know you're probably overestimating your calories which is an already pretty well-known problem? Also, why is their estimation (or prediction) so inaccurate? Was it supposed to mimic popular methods?

I eat back a lot of my calories but I have figured out through trial and error how much they probably are. It would be individual I think. I wouldn't let any results here sway me.
 
It is interesting that the science is finally filtering down to people and organisations about why you should NOT be doing static stretching in preparation for sports and other activities.

I am not a dancer but it is interesting seeing the reduced injuries reported due to dancers no longer doing static stretches.

Not all studies I post are significant, some are just interesting and comfirm what most people should know, it is rare however to find large supervised studies, a lot of large studies are done with self reporting which is not a fantastic way of doing things, but it is more economically feasible compared to supervised studies.
 
I´ve had to learn to put my blinkers on when going to the gym a long time ago - but then I´m there solely as a customer myself, so it´s easier. And at work people either pay for my advice specifically (after which they still sometimes ignore it completely) or I don´t see them. I´m with Amy though, very thankful to have you here.
 
not feeling very well in the gut today, I have however tracked intake for the day so far. Currently sitting way under calories and still 63 grams short on protein.

It has probably not helped that I have had a mandarin today which despite being tasty, I react to and shouldn't be eating.

I will see if I can at least stomach some plain tuna later to hit protein later.

I am over my preferred carb limit, but still within the keto range.

I also got some cardio in this morning, I hate it but I need to improve my cardio before next semester at Uni
 
Still not feeling well, it is very hot today.

I just set 5 Pea eggs in the incubator, but I have to have the lid propped open a little otherwise it is just too hot for the eggs, I want them to hatch not cook.
 
Do the peahens not sit on their eggs? Or do you have foxes who might get them? Sorry about the not feeling well - and heat always makes things worse.

Insane weather when you practically need airconditioning to hatch eggs...

We have them in fox proof breeding pens, but the hens are showing no interest is going broody, and the eggs will become nonviable if left too long. Some peas do not make good parents. I know some breeders who have nets slung under perches because their hens simply lay their where they are perched. I think the unseasonably hot weather is not helping. If I had a broody chook I would put the eggs under her.

It is a bit like chooks really, some of our chooks just don't go broody, and others go broody fairly often, just not right now when I would like one to be broody.
 
Poor hens. It would be just too hot for anything really & it's still only November :eek:
Are you feeling any better this morning, Tru?
 
Still trying to get rid of the last of this bug,

Well done on being down 1.5 k in a week Tru & well done Gympie hospital ED staff. I love that clip :)
 
I am a bit worried for a friend at the moment, there was a dry lightning strike on one of her hills, starting a bush fire, there are 17 crews there at the moment, trying to stop it getting any closer to her house.
 
Is this in Queensland? There are so many fires across the country - lighting strikes and others. :(
