if i want to start lifting weights but want to get rid of stomach fat (im skinnyfat, like pretty dam skinny), whats the best way to approach it with calories? Just try to hit my daily calorie burn number or do the standard 2k+ cals and hope the fat just goes?
Dont know why im asking this part of the forum and not the other specific part, but you guys are my homies
Start lifting weights asap, something with lots of barbell exercises.
Try to get more dietary protein (1g/lb of body weight is a decent bench mark)
Watch the scale, you probably only want it creeping upwards at the most to start. Going nowhere is fine too.
Once you start getting competent in the gym and are building strength then it's probably time to up the calories. Basically, the initial direction is determined by what you'd rather be: skinny-skinny or stronger-fat. Both have their drawbacks.
The skinny-fat conundrum is that you need to both lose fat and add muscle, but you can't really do both at the same time. starting off slow and steady in one direction gives you the most control so you don't end up anorexic, or fat and strong like me.
Murican beer lovers itt, do you know Arizona Wilderness Brewing? They supposedly won best brewery itw 2013. Anyway, they visited my local craft beer bar with 10 kegs this week and omg you guys have it good if this is the standard for murican craft beering. Mind and tastebuds blown.
The debt imposed by the Glazer family when they bought the club with £525m of borrowed money in 2005, remains £411m, despite about £700m in interest and other finance-related costs having been paid by the club since then.
The Glazer siblings together own approximately 131m shares, 80% of the total issued, according to a spokesman for the club. That means every three months, they will be paid $5.9m (£3.8m) in total. Annually, the payment of that dividend four times, each quarter, adds up to $23.6m (£15.2m) altogether to be paid to the Glazer siblings – $3.9m (£2.5m) each.
The decision to pay the dividend, the first since the Glazer family floated the club on the New York stock exchange in 2012, was, the company said, made by the board, on which all six of the Glazer siblings sit.
should we pay ourselves £2.5m/year? why yes, yes we should.

ye
there are multiple ways on how to approach a "recomposition"
Burns, in your position I would just start lifting asap and like aidan said preferably a lot of barbell exercises for low-medium reps plus throwing in high rep with machines as accessory is a good idea too.
for a beginner I would recommend a full-body workout 2-3x/week.
would also start some conditioning, 1x low-intensity run for 60 mins and 1x HIIT session(20-40 mins)
food wise just try to eat a balanced diet containing enough protein, omega 3, nutrients, vitamins, minerals etc etc
no need to be too anal about it, just don't go overboard with simple carbs and listen to your hunger feeling(don't overeat)
like aidan said watch the weight but be aware that (water weight) swings are massive so take it with a pinch of salt

Never heard of em. Only MASSACHUSETTS PINTS for this guy.
i'm not sure If i'm already ready to give beer a new try(have always been meh on it)
taste buds seem to change so much with age so I fairly recently started to get into white wine and tried around a lot with cheaper ones at first(5-10€/bottle) and to my surprise really liked some. then at work got to try a 2006 Riesling(keller, rheinhessen for like 80€/bottle) which was orgasmic so i'm completely sold now.
quite likely i will have a similar revelation sometime in the future with beer as well
