Hmm, this is not entirely true actually. There is no evidence to prove this theory although many "experts" advise people to not eat after x time because "you will store it as fat" etc....

Think of food as fuel in the tank..................

If you drive around all day in the red you will use the reserve fuel in the tank. Now............ what do you think happens when you put some "fuel" in the tank? Do you think that as well as topping up the reserve you actually get some EXTRA fuel as well?? The same is true with food.

The only reason some people find that not eating after 5pm, 6pm or whatever "magical" time they have been prescribed is that ceasing to eat at a certain time naturally affects calorie intake

I agree with this, weight in lbs x 10 is really quite low especially for someone who trains so much, I would suggest x 14 instead. Better still, just subtract 500 cals/day That, coupled with your training is MORE than enough of a deficit. Dont forget, go too low with cals and you will lose too much muscle as well as fat

Potatoes........ am not sure if you are still trying to restrict carbs Stu but......... the average potatoe weighs 200g, containing approx 18g carb per 100g so one baked spud is only (approx) 36g carbs. Of course I am assuming ONE average sized potatoe here If memory serves, Burgen bread is 9g carb per slice so............. it is less but if you are not watching carbs anymore, is it worth it? Also, I'm not convinced you would be satisfied with just 2 slices

I feel vindicated now Glad someone else confirmed what I said to Stu as I could see he wasn't entirely convinced!!

Well, that's all I have for now, keep great exercise!
