Eating more while gaining less
Seems that exercise is a good overall appetite suppressant. Perhaps not surprising, but it seems that our odd eating habits after a workout are probably producing a balanced (or potentially net negative) energy intake. Makes a good argument for us to get a pull-up bar in the lab--that way we can do a mini-ladder sometime before lunch every day to help ensure our calories are devoted to increasing muscle mass and not 'middle' mass.

I don't know, I feel like we are net positive most of the time, although it's true that I don't really keep track when we buy a bunch of crap together. Good find.
I don't think i need to count calories to know i'm net positive - i just look at my waist
I think that we should propose a new measure of effective eating: 'the middle way.' Simple keep track of your 'middle' measurement's first derivative. I know mine's positive...
But seriously, I've been noticing that having backed off my almost daily Aikido my %body fat (at least around my middle) has gone up despite our other activities. I do think I've built some muscle mass, but I probably am not quite even maintaining that. I should restart obsessive FitDay I suppose.
How do our metcon days measure up for initiating fat conversion? I understand that there is also some debate about whether mixing fat & carbs vs fat & protein leads to different breakdown pathways and one may promote faster conversion to fat.
I'm going to post about this soon. It's a complicated subject that people often overthink.
Until then, read up:
