As a “newbie” to the board (but not to the world of bodybuilding)I have literally spent HOURS pouring over past issues, archives, etc… One thing that I’ve noticed about “T-mag” and the staff is a willingness to throw out old ideas and concepts when new light is shed on a subject. Believe me, that’s rare…
Question. About three years ago, an article in “T-mag” suggested that ALL calculations (calories, macronutrient percentages, metabolic rates, etc.) should be based on our LEAN bodyweight, because, while not totally “inert” (it is living tissue), fat is “functionally inert” in it’s contribution to our overall metabolism.(If there are biochemist/physiologist out there, help me out!)
Is this still the current feeling and in three years has there been any significant change in this basic principle?
