I always liked the idea of "brewing team" or "brew team"

Thanks so much for sharing!!!

My fiance goes from sitting 10 hours at a desk to playing video games at home. I go from a fairly active job to teaching kickboxing, lifting, or taking muay thai classes. He's just genetically built to be extremely skinny. His BF % was measured at around 17% a couple of years ago. That last...

I agree with you. I basically use IIFYM and adjust based on what I did that day. I have seen several people use calories in vs. calories and have huge success while others have hit walls and had to readjust. And again, I've seen people, like myself, exercise and gain weight but lose body mass...

Thank you! Body composition and recomposition is key. I lost and kept off 25 pounds and lost 4 dress sizes in 6 months. Then all of a sudden I couldn't lose weight anymore. I increased my workouts, decreased my calories, nothing worked. I increased my calories and VIOLA! I lost 6 pounds in about...

While I do agree with you, I believe you are oversimplifying. There is a lot that goes into the whole scheme of weight gain/loss that I believe a lot of people don't understand. Anyways, if I want a beer, I drink a beer. No use denying myself something that I truly love. I'm going to buy a...

The point I was initially trying to make is that weight control isn't only about calories in vs. calories out. If you are rapidly gaining muscle, which weighs more by volume than fat, while losing fat, you may see an increase on the scale rather than a decrease, even if you are eating at a...

Now, I'm waiting for someone to say that a car doesn't weigh more than a person.

Holy internet hallelujah delivered to me by a stick figure!

Muscle weighs more than fat by volume. As in, if I have a liter of fat and a liter of muscle, the liter of muscle is going to weigh more. That is the point I was trying to make.

... by volume. Yes I have several times, but I'm a personal trainer. Unless my clients are lying to me and eating more than they say they are, I've seen people put on muscle and gain weight while operating at a caloric deficit and losing fat. Did they lose mass? Yes. Weight? No. Myself...

Here. Caloric intake and expenditure are not the only contributing factors to weight control. You forget that muscle weighs more than fat. Without being specific, how can anyone know, with certainty, the point you're trying to make? Anyone who knows anything about losing/gaining weight knows...

A 1g test batch of a pale stout that I tried to make. I'm thinking it's going to turn out different than I was expecting. And a 5g batch of Caramel Amber Ale. :)

Not entirely correct on your second point. If you are exercising you might see a weight gain. You might refer to it better as "fat control" or "fat loss". Your body will always store excess calories vs. burning them. Your body only burns a certain number of calories a day on it's own, per...
