you on the other hand, are in the other 1%, probably trying to push your body to the limits, staying lean while building muscle at the same time... so yea, for you it is a bit tricky to figure out how much cardio you need to do, how many calories, how many grams of protein you need to consume per day, etc...

i see what you are saying. i think it's a sliding scale though, but perhaps I am out of touch with 99% of the peeps getting in shape, lol. i mean if i am off 100 cals on my cals in/cals out calculations, it has made a difference some days. these days i think i'm pretty much trained to eat what i eat and exercise as i do without much math and still hover at 9%bf. but i was in the hospital and rehab for 2+months and my bf increased to 14%, a 50% jump so it can still go back to packing on flab.
