I am on a journey towards fitness and better health through sustainable diet and exercise. I am learning that overall health and fitness is what's most important to me and while I strive to be healthy every day and in everything I do, I am still learning and I still make mistakes.
Eww i’m gross1lb of Muscle vs. 1lb of Fat
- One pound of muscle will burn ~10 kcal per day.
- The pound of fat will burn ~3 kcal per day.
- Weight is a poor measurement of fat loss, for obvious reasons.
So, you lost a pound? That’s a pretty big deal.
Lift heavy stuff and eat enough and you’ll build more muscle which will allow you to burn more fat and get the look of muscular definition that you desire.
Starving yourself and doing cardio for fat loss are a sure fire way to keep your muscles from growing properly and never reaching your full potential. Go lift weights.
If you want to track your progress accurately then you should use some sort of journal to log your body’s measurements and strength changes or take progress pictures on a regular basis.
Stay off the scale.
Did about 100 one-legged kettle bell leg lifts yesterday. My hamstrings have never been so sore. So glad today is my rest day.
