Out with the Old Diet, in with freestyling macros - Matt Versus 48

[LyriCzTheGreat]

lmfao @12:15 on cc "black owned animal activist al ive told her about the gestapo" xD

[LyriCzTheGreat]

smoke a lil weed occasionally matt.. no bullshit!! it wont affect your workout much, it boosts the metabolism and your heart rate, but most importantly you'll get better quality in your sleep and proper rest is key to body building;

[TheBackyardBangers]

someones probably mentioned this but you look like robert downey junior

[AustinDuggal]

you can't really tell if only FITTING YOUR MACROS works because you're still at a calorie deficit so its obvious you're still going to lose weight. Whether you're going to lose it at an optimal rate is another discussion. Studies have shown that a calorie deficit with higher insulin levels and higher GI carbs makes you lose a worse fat/muscle ratio.

Game of Thrones + Tasty food = Super fun time!!! 

[ediot6969]

Going to make sludge 2mrw.

[4TodayOfficial]

Lego mug with your name on it from F.A.O. Schwarz at 02:49??

[shimna]

Is this a post workout meal?

[nezarzeidan]

im gonna workout now and have sludge later (y)

[FAA041909]

Does this "eat whatever you want as long as it fits your macros" apply to people who have a high body fat percentage also, or is it for only people who are already lean like you?

[flexforall2]

@FAA041909 To be honest, I can only speak for myself... So don't quote me or anything. My understanding of the way the body works is that if you burn more calories than how much you consume per day, week, month, etc... Then by the laws of thermodynamics you will lose weight. That's it simplified.

[bballplaya123678]

@flexforall2 Just wondering but who are your coaches? and i understand that you need to get your macro nutrients and you can substitute but is there a website that will make a good diet for you based on height and weight and everything? or how did you make your diet plan

[TheNACFitness]

Matthew! check out my videos, basically doing something similiar to you. Following my progress into competition. This is my first year bodybuilidng! take a look and let me know if you like it brah

[kryo1]

Awesome vids, I'm a WA brah as well and have many friends who compete in both BBing and PLing. Not many people that compete are aware, hilarious that you are. I'm sure I'll see you at a comp this upcoming year (no stalker, lulz), good luck!

[flexforall2]

@kryo1 aha thanks dude! Might visit Wa in 2012

[tajulafham94]

really2 helpful muscle building supplement... newspaper..haha

[Fl1p3x]

Matt , say i have a beer, and that has alcohol in it.How do i fit that in with my macros? cuz its neither a protein,carb or fat.I know beer has carbs but alcohol is kinda its own macro.

[hizoku12]

Which is better Fitday or myfitnesspal?

[CaptainCrunch541]

@hizoku12 myfitnesspal is much easier and more uptodate

[calvcast06]

hey @flexforall2 where can i get your diet?

[flexforall2]

@calvcast06 I'm never really on a specific diet.. I utilize macros!

[wmontano8]

great vid brotha, keep it going

your boy, Will

[Athrun000]

IIFYM + Avoid Trans Fat + Limit Fructose... is the way to go

[sebbbi91]

@Athrun000 + get all your micros

[flexforall2]

@JasonnFitness 165lbs right now... ehhh, I'm at a steady .5-1 lb per week :) its all about them macros!

[boybiboy21]

and i'm off to walmart

[lumimobb]

hey matt! do you know a good calorie calculator for bulking and cutting to find out our macro ratios?

[lumimobb]

another awesome informative helpful video :D thanks Matt

[MultiCRUDE]

Careful Matt, it is true it doesn't matter what you get your macros from as long as you get your macros, but you body may not be used to the different foods and digest them differently than your friends.

[flexforall2]

@MultiCRUDE that's a matter that has to do with individuals, and not the concepts, no? Of course it would be unhealthy to get my macros from cow poop or dog throw up... Or if a friend has an allergy to peanuts, it would be unwise for him to even attempt to fulfill his macro requirements from peanuts. What's your point? lol

[19ShengKai92]

@flexforall2 i think he means if its ok to eat like for example high glycimic carbs instead of complex carbs or the different between casein and whey etc..

[flexforall2]

@19ShengKai92 I've ignored glycemic index for about 6 months now. You remember what I looked like back in June and July, right? I'll let you decide if its ok to disregard glycemic index.

[flexforall2]

@19ShengKai92 that was directed not specifically at you but whoever's concerned lol.

[19ShengKai92]

@flexforall2 haha yeah you're right....and i do remember how you looked like...it's very inspiring man, but do you think people with different somato types can eat all the same food??

[besttyler]

You voice sound different from your series to now.

[olinblockedme]

i see that zma in the background foo...jimmy struthers!!. haha..naw i really dont know..never tried it...bro..O.G. were you aware there is ky jelly on the table?.its all good bro...sometimes we all gotta do it...but you gotta hide the evidence man!!...cmon gotta be atleast a little slick about it..jk..i dont know..i got ky jelly around too...but its not for me alone ..you feel me?

[flexforall2]

@olinblockedme haha the ky jelly is noobshit compared to the straight up fleshlight I had in episode 1 LOL...

[olinblockedme]

@flexforall2 haha.thats what im talking about bro...masturbation isnt a joke..there nothing funny about it..thats why i keep a straight face on the whole time....haha

[Malignantspiritify]

ogietrice real name no gimmicks

[Pain5155]

macros are a myth

[bebIessed]

@Pain5155 lol?

[tswdan]

I'm sure you've answered this a million times, but what kind of camera do you use and are you car mounting it?

[freshS0LE]

KY and tissues on your nightstand.

[joelgartland]

I don't know how you can go through life eating the same boring foods every single day. Have you ever had a kfc/mcdonalds or even a subway? I'm in good shape but there's no way I would force myself to eat foods I dont even want to eat.

[flexforall2]

@joelgartland lol I'm eating mex food tonight, had chipotle last night... Don't have to have bland food lol

[daimary1999]

you should make an iphone chanel i would watch it

[alekzander93]

Matt what are your macro nutrient ratios each day? like 45% carb, 35% protein and 20% fat?

[flexforall2]

@alekzander93 Eh - I go more off the numbers themselves since generally my fat intake and protein intake is pretty much stationary.

[Inspiration525]

GREAAAT VIDEOS... Thanks so much !!!

[flexforall2]

@Inspiration525 no prob!

[calvcast06]

@flexforall2 I MEANT LIKE THE KINDS OF FOOD YOU EAT

[mikeboy909]

Macros affect body composition

Food sources affect body health

[flexforall2]

@mikeboy909 chyep^

Low/healthy bodyfat> obesity too! Remember that guys! :)

[Fl1p3x]

You motivated me to finally track my daaamn macros lol.I wanna be able to go out , maybe have something i wanna have and not worry about getting fat or some shit.Again THANKS bro.

[flexforall2]

@Fl1p3x haha yeah man... hint, chipotle and subway are real easy to fit into a nice low 50g fat day... Now burgers, steaks, etc... It's almost impossible lol key word almost ;)

[KHFCodyWhynot]

[flexforall2]

@MrBodybuilder95 I think I look good with a little bit of beard stubble and no mustache :)

[ForgedinShadow2]

Hey bro, how do you have your oats? Do you cook them or what? I cook them on the stove but I like hearing how other people have them :-)

[flexforall2]

@ForgedinShadow2 almost daily. I put it in a bowl, add cinnamon and stevia, add water, microwave :)

[jumpman3210]

burgers fries pizza tacos burritos carne asada fries all day!

[nick888ph]

i laughed because the foods you were talking about weren't even too bad but you were so exited to eat that way

[flexforall2]

@nick888ph Lol true. When I was eating the same thing every day, any deviation was incredible

[skullz515]

@flexforall2 bruh what about insulin spikes? thats all broscience?? so no difference in body composition from white bread and whole wheat?

[Rickadmiraal]

haha best muscle gain....the news paper :P

[flexforall2]

@Rickadmiraal mmhmm:)

[jinunit]

[flexforall2]

[FitnessAngelo]

Very informative Matt! Definitely useful to prepare for my Competition!

[flexforall2]

@FitnessAngelo Ohhh yeah... couldn't stress enough the importance of macros lol

[lovejazzy805]

So match to do to be a great bodybuilder.. You do it well.. Love your meal there.. Thats not gonna get you fat unless you eat it like everyday maybe.

[MriBackup]

SCRATCH THAT

[MriBackup]

Attention everyone(including Matt) check out 'Myfitnesspal' it adds up all your macro and micro nutrition!

[flexforall2]

@MriBackup hehe yeah bro I've been using it for almost 6 months!

[YamiThunderous]

@flexforall2 I wish Matt Ogus would reply to my comment.

[flexforall2]

@YamiThunderous Wasssss happenin pimp?!

[YamiThunderous]

@flexforall2 Well I've got myself a good diet strategy and workout plan, but I'm not sure what protein would be best for me. Obviously need something to reduce fat so I can lean down (currently approx 95kg). Any suggestions that are affordable? Can be isolate but kind of clueless.

[flexforall2]

@YamiThunderous I chose chicken, egg whites, and protein powder bro

[YamiThunderous]

@flexforall2 LOLOL. Nevermind :)

[ForgedinShadow2]

@MriBackup Is that an iPhone app or something?

[MriBackup]

@ForgedinShadow2 yes,android also

[badkarma1043]

thanks for the info Matt. how do I determine the number of macros i need? - you said your macros are 50,300,225. im sure my personal goals and body comp determine my macros needs but is there a webiste to help me figure that out?

congrats owning both competitions over the summer man!

[flexforall2]

@badkarma1043 While there's several calculators out there, it's something that you will have to figure out.

The concepts are pretty easy to understand... More protein for someone with a higher lean body mass index. Carbs - you have to figure that one out yourself... base it on your goal. Fats - that part takes the most discipline to handle. ex, consuming 50fat per day during cutting... You don't necessarily need a ton of fat offseason for performance either, carbs generally help performance

[badkarma1043]

@flexforall2 thanks for getting back to me. love the vids btw

[dgwear69]

IIF FFA's Macros.

[ze1nikO]

if you put an ice-cream in your diet, what happens with the sugar? won't it affect your fat loss or gains?

[flexforall2]

@ze1nikO if you put ice cream in your diet, then you gotta watch your fats even more so than the carbs. Normal ice cream generally has a ton of fat and obviously plenty of carbs that will suck up your macros way faster than something like brown rice ever could lol.

[bavneet]

Hey Matt,

How do you keep track of fruits and vegetables in terms of macros?

Also, try to make a video dedicated to the cardio routine that you used to burn fat (I'm not referring to the cardio routine you use now for maintenance). It would really help.

Thanks.

[SkyeKingdoM]

If it fits YO macros

[Teenbodybuilderr]

totally agree with the macro Idea that you dont have to worry as much as people think about the foods you eat! Keep up the good work!

Kyle.

[decoysupreme]
