Is fasted cardio superior to normal cardio or is that just BS?

@chachles There is no practical difference.

Hi Ian. Does it matter if you eat just before a workout if you are trying to lose fat? I've heard that working out on an empty stomach forces your body to use fat for fuel instead of fuel from food that you recently consumed. Thanks in advance

@mtjor156 I recommend eating a large whole foods meal before lifting. Don't worry about short-term fat loss or fat gain; what matters is LONG term changes.

New Subscriber here and just watched a few vids so far, but if you have answered this question already forgive me.

Where would you set calories at per pound of bodyweight for fat loss? and do you set a cal goal using your goal weight or current weight? Thanks!!

@xScrab311x Pay attention to macros, not calories. By manipulating macros you are manipulating your calorie intake as well.

@Siedlerdeo rather surplus than deficit :)

[Siedlerdeo]

@iPwnNItRO Ofc it can handle it, but any surplus will go to energy so why would you surplus?

@nikhilsrl Overshooting protein intake isn't bad.I weigh 65kg and get like 2 till 3 x Protein per kilogram bodyweight :D because the body can handle a Protein surplus without any problems^^

Hi Ian, I have a question if thats ok.Its common knowledge like you said in the video that in order to lose weight you need a calorie deficit and in order to gain weight you need a calorie surplus.Well my question is how do you work out how many calories you're burning in a day to realise whether you're creating a deficit or a surplus?This is the thing im particularily clueless about.Thanks.

@liftingforlife I needed some help. I weigh 62 kg and am aiming to reach 70 kg. I went to myfitnesspal and it gave me a target of 2410 with a break up for carb/fat/prot as 331/80/90. First thing is this does not match the usual guideline for protein or fat intake and second I am struggling to match each macro nutrient. I am unable to get to the fat and carb count without overshooting on protein intake. Any ideas?

How do you know how many macros you need per day?
