My advice would be to make sure that anything you post for advice has some PEER REVIEWED CLINICAL EVIDENCE to to back it because many times you'll get called out on it. Lol, my "prison" thread was one that had only very little research done (on either side) and argumentation was a fiasco. Anyway, it's a great community.

I don't believe in rules and fads because my training is based on an individual basis what works for one person will not work so well with another but I also believe we need a benchmark starting point and then adjust it for clients from there. Making that post though was such a great learning experience in itself I will be a better contributor on this site as a result of it and it's lit a fire in me to become a better author and communicate better throughout my posts.

Certified Personal and Group Fitness Trainer IDEA Fitness member Kickboxing Certified Instructor Been in fitness for 30 years and have studied kinesiology and nutrition I feel though there should be a separate section for these experienced users and then they can talk about specifics etc when I wrote on the General Weight Loss board I was realllllly thinking General and lamens terms and keeping it very very surface just to open up people to looking at Macros where they once didn't even know what macros were! I gave generalized norms which are able to be researched everywhere and are well known starting points then the discussion changed into talking about building muscle and the mechanics behind it and I was like woah hold on here do we need to start a new discussion I was simply referring to macros and it being 1 way of so many that you can use to see how balanced your eating habits are. For the average (I'm saying average not an athlete or specialized training) person if you are cutting calories and the goal is to lose weight but your macros consistently show you consume 80 percent carbs, 10 percent fat and 10 percent protein well you will definitely not be reaching your daily requirement for protein and most likely sky rocketing over your g alotted for carbs. I was simply trying to give a different perspective for some on this app this post was directed at complete beginners.

Nope, absolutely disagree ...this is how you educate the naive, by getting them stuck in with the knowledgable folk and watching their argy-bargy and adding to it ...we all have to learn
