I have caffeine pills, 100mg each. They have lost there kick with me even though I am only taking 1-2 a day and following the directions of spacing them out by atleast 3 hours.
I am doing fasted cardio each morning and my plan is to take 1 pill in the morning and thats it but I am thinking about increasing it to 2 pills. Would this be a good or bad idea? the only negative side effects I am get off caffeine is dry retching, and heartburn(hence the no 2nd dose).
I know some people are against this, but still I would like to know if I am doing it right. I am 116kg, 21years old male with around 27% bodyfat. I am cutting.
Up until today I was taking no more than 1800 calories a day, which I thought it is normal until I felt that I am loosing strength in my workouts. I was taking like 150-170g of protein per day and not more than 100g of carbs. My fat intake was around 70, but not more. I have decided to increase this, as I understand that the carbs are really important to prevent muscle loss.
Here is my TDEE calculation:
I think I am around 27%, so I have made the calculation. Can someone confirm it?
BMR = 370 + (21.6 x LBM)Where LBM = [total weight (kg) x (100 - bodyfat %)]/100
In my case:
BMR = 370 + (21.6 x 84.6) = 2197cal
My LBM = [116 x (100 - 27)]/100
So given the fact that my BMR is 2197 and I am training 7 days a week, I have decided to use 1.6 as activity factor.
I am working on a desk 8 hours a day as IT professional, but still I work out every day.
With this 2197x1.6=3500cals TDEE, right?
Can someone please confirm this?
