Holy shit actual English words that don’t require a dictionary to watch the video, keep em up man, Love the pace you speak at, some of these dudes speak fast enough to break the barrier of sound
It would be nice if you have clients who are willing to be shown in your video and share their progress weekly as well as video of their workout routine that you make them do.
hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to discover lose weight 90 days try slim tactic formula (just google it ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate got great success with it.
Great video, Mike. Very thoughtful. Feels like this is how your conversations with clients go. Very matter-of-fact, with polite and simple explanations.
I really like how you speak to us in an basic way! It's easy to understand and all questions I had and got while watching got answered! keep up the good work.
Excellent advice, I have been finding it hard to gain lean muscle. Nutrition and macros were on point ( so I thought ). Hardcore training 5 days a week lifting a mixture of heavy and light reps for different muscle fibres. Turns out due to the fact I have a very active job and a fast metabolism I wasn't eating anywhere near enough food although I was eating between 3000-3500 calories a day. Wasn't until I upped it did I see gains. 👍
You're my favorite youtuber! Thanks for the great content. My problem is I spend way too much time digging around on RUclips trying to filter through all the Vlog crap and just get to the meaty information like what you provide. Where do you like to get your information? Like books/blogs/etc?
Thank you!!!! I am a yoga and Barre instructor in London and a newly qualified PT and I was getting so stressed out about the Macro calculator apps. What you are saying makes sense.
This was by far the best video i've watched about macros/nutrition! My coach is booked out and doesn't have room for me at the moment so I'm attempting to sort out my macros on my own. I used a few calculators online and a few old school methods i learnt during my sport degree (mifflen st jeor), however, most of these suggested that my 'cutting' calories were 300-500 higher than what I am currently trying to lose weight on! I do cardio daily so I may attempt to reduce this and increase food a little bit for the sake of having some wriggle room and feeling a bit more human! metabolism is a tricky thing!
One thing I've noticed (as an older guy starting to work out properly after a maaaassive break) is that a lot of dudes seem to be focusing on macro's with little to no attention on actual nutrition whatsoever. If you don't include (a lot of) veg, and to a lesser extent fruit in your diet, you WILL be saving up health problems for later. You can't get all this stuff from supplements.
Your comment answers itself. Hes talking about macronutrients not micronutrients, exactly as the title states! If you want a video on micronutrients, ask for one or watch a video on it.
I've been working out for a while now. I always like to think I'm pretty informed on everything, however I always learn new things watching your videos. Keep the good shit coming, cheers 👍 Just don't turn into one of them click bait fitness channels recycling the same topics.
Mike you definitely have the best most informative videos out there. Very clear, simple and yet so much info. Thank you a million. Just following you my training and body is getting better and better.
I got my diet plan from *Agoge Diet* and lost 2kg in just 10 days. So far, so good. Can't wait to see numbers on scale after 20 more days. I am so excited about this.
I’m 15, I weigh 135 pounds and I’m 5’6”. I need 2,200 calories total to lose weight. I had some trouble with macros. What do I need for protein, carbs, and fats. I want to lose weight at the moment to 114, as it is the lowest normal weight for my height. I want to build muscle from there. I need some overall help with understanding macros and the guidelines for macros for my age and size. Thank you so much! Your videos are so helpful and they’ve helped me the most. I bought V-Shred and so far it’s pretty good, but your video was SOOOO clear and concise. Thank you for reading!
First video of yours I’ve watched and it’s cleared up so many things I was confused about with all the online resources! First video I’ve heard about building metabolism first! This might just be the thing that’s been missing to get me out of this stuck phase
Mike your channel is great and this video is very clear! On your training days you mentioned you massively increase carbs and reduce fats - what the split would be? Like 50% carbs, 35% proteins and 15% fats? And how is it on your rest days? Thanks for your response in advance! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Keep up the amazing work dude!! I have been struggling for years to achieve my fitness goals, but I believe that your insanely fun and informative videos will give me some of the tools needed to finally succeed in this area. Yeah RUclips comments are usually dog shit negative, but this comment is not one of them.
Hey, Mike! Great advise along with using a real scenario/client. It just so happened that I am within the same exact calorie intake as your example, and this provided me some excellent insight and education on how to grow/cut/and speed up my metabolism. Thanks for the advice, and being an inspiration for us as subscribers.
Hey Mike, Love your content. I was just wondering, when trying to grow, should your weight be increasing on a day to day basis or is it okay if your weight fluctuates up and down each day but is trending upwards every week? I've found that's been happening to me quite a lot even though I eat a pretty consistent amount of calories each day. Thanks
Otta it's highly unlikely it'll be a smooth increase on a day to day basis. Fluctuations in weight will be all over the place, regardless of you're cutting or bulking.
Huge fan keep up the good work . Plz do a bulking plan and show us your training routine during that phase and what u eat , and a physique update when it's all done . I think that would be entertaining. And cutting could be the next step
Is there a better feeling than eating a pizza without a guilt knowing that it wouldn't mess up your fitness plans? *Agoge Diet*, thank you for everything!
Mike, I work in a job that required you to be on your feet 6-10 hours a day for 5 days a week. Which involves very heavy lifting and walking quickly. How do I calculate how much I need to eat to have a slow increase in weight? I try eat regular and include protein shakes with 2 scoops of peanut butter but I seem to be full almost constantly but know I need more intake. Do you have any tips to work this out pal?
Righty, let's gets started, first thing first weigh yourself and if you can your bodyfat. You need to figure out you BMR or resting metabolism this is what you do when you sit on your ass, you can figure it out for example a 165lb, would be 165 x 10= 1650 male will have a BMR of 1650, this number has factors to it, age etc so it is only rough estimate. Then your activity factor dependant on how active you are for you it'd be 1.7, so you multiply the BMR by 1.7, so 1650 x 1.7 which is 2,805 to maintain. If you bulk add a surplus, around 200-500 calories. Going into protein, carbs and fats will be next paragraph.
Right protein, if you bulk 1.5g per pound of bodyweight should be fine, so 165lbs male will have 248g of protein okay, now fats you look of 0.5g per pound of bodyweight, so for 165lb male 83g of fat, now carbs taking that figure from above with a 200 calorie surplus 3,005, so 4g of protein per calories so 248 (protein) x 4 is 992 calories, same for fat but it is 9g per calories so 83 (fat) x 9 = 747 calories so in total 747 + 992 =1,739 now carbs is the remainder. 3005-1739= 1266, 4g per calorie so 1266/4 = 317g of carbs. In conclusion, 248g of P, 83g of F, and 317g of C. Now track your weight, you should see the weight increasing and not your bodyfat, if your bodyfat is increasing cut the carbs by 100 calories and recalculate. If you don't see anything increase the calories by carbs by 200 calories and recalculate. Remember track every week note everything down
So I have a question. What if I have a ludicrously high metabolism and never have to worry about body fat, but at the same time find it very difficult to put on muscle weight? (I've been 150 for about a year now) Should I just try to eat even more that I already am? I go to the gym every single day and follow your exercises to a point, so is there something that I should be doing differently?
I can't say for sure as I don't know enough about you. That being said I would 1. Try eating more. How many calories are you consuming? 2. Don't go to the gym every day, have a 1-2 days off and focus more on rest and recovery. You may save yourself from burning unnecessary calories.
The rest days make a lot of sense. I'm consuming (on average) about 1700 calories in a given day. I take it that's not enough to compensate for the calories I'm burning. I'll be sure to take a look at your nutrition videos.
Tommy Watson Hi man, I also find it difficult to gain weight, although I have considerably over a few years now (25ish lbs). I'm currently on 3500cals a day and still only gaining a lb of weight a week if that! I'm no expert but you're not eating enough! As Mike said... increase cals week by week steadily. I also do minimal cardio, but focus on steady state cardio (Walks etc)
Yo mike could you explain training intensity please? I love your vids bro, especially the ones explaining how to do the exercises! Keep em coming i'll keep watching em.
Who here is watching this in 2022? Love the vid mike! Looking to put on some size this year now that Covid restrictions are easing up and going to the beach is more possible lol. Great video appreciate the info 👍🏼
Great channel! A Phisique possible without roids! Mike explains everything really well. I lift weights 20 years already but I’m still learning from prodigy athletes like Mike! Thanks for sharing! Hello from Ecuador, Southamerica!
When I am biking several hours a day I eat 3,700 calories a day for maintenance. When not biking and doing a daily low key gym workout with 20 minutes cardio on the stairmaster, maintenance is 2,300 calories. When sedentary, 1,700 calories is maintenance. I was surprised at the difference in my metabolism and calorie needs based on exercise level. Mike is right: first start to track it to gain awareness.
Hey Mike, I love the videos! I was just wondering what you think the best way to calculate body fat is. I am a skinny guy but I feel like my body fat % is high. Thanks!
How long until you see the most results would you say if being consistent with all those factors? I just started my fitness journey I'm 3 weeks in going on my 4th week tomorrow. I'm feeling great and I like how I'm looking already in the mirror but I'm still fluctuating around the same weight. My goal is to lose fat and maintain/gain muscle. I'm just curious if I'm not losing pounds am I still losing fat? I work out 6 days a week and count calories/macros. Thanks for this very informative video😊
Hello Mike, I'm a huge fan and loyal follower. Question for you: Do you take any fat burners? if you do, what do you recommend. If you don't please tell me why.
Hey Mike, should I eat more or less salt to look more ripped? How much salt do you eat per day? On average, what do you recommend for daily salt intake?
Anywhere between 2,500-3,500kcal depending upon my goals, current body composition, daily activity/exercise etc. Daily activity levels are usually medium as I work from home most of the time.
There are various sites which show how to calculate your daily calories to maintain, increase, or decrease your weight. In my case, I am 180 lbs.and want to get to 160 lbs., so should I put my goal weight, (160 lbs.), and check the maintenance box in the calculations, in order to get my basal metabolic rate, (maintenance calories), and thus add or decrease calories based on whether I want to add muscle or burn fat? Thanks a lot for the great info.
As someone guilty of restricting kcals and doing excess cardio, is the process of slowly increasing kcal consumption in order to build up metabolism similar to Stephanie Buttermore's 'All in' approach? First she gained weight, then it dropped.
So, where are the calculations for figure our your macros? You just bashed the online sites, but you didn't give an example on how to figure them out. Do you do that in another video? If so, which one?
Janet find out your TDEE which is how much you weigh times 14 (rough yet close estimate) that’s how many calories you need to consume to maintain your size and weight NOW. Once you have found that determine whether you want to bulk which was adding his amt of calories to your TDEE or reduce based on your TDEE. Once you have found your caloric intake configure your macro necessities around your caloric intake that is necessary for your fitness goals. Since he says you need to consume 2.2 kg of protein per gram that equates to 1.1 pounds of how much you weigh currently, so multiply 1.1 times how much you weigh and that’s how many grams of protein you need to consume. Once you have found the amount of grams of protein you need to consume multiply that number times 4 and that is how many calories that are dedicated towards protein alone. Now subtract that by your total and the rest of the calories will go to fat and carbohydrates. Fats equal 9 cal per gram consumed and carbohydrates equal 4 cal per gram consumed. Ideally for fat loss you should consume about 15 to 25% caloric value in fats. So take your total number of How much you choose to consume multiply it times a number between .15 and .25 then divide that number by nine and that is how many grams of fat you need to consume in order to stay within your macros for your interest in fat loss. I think for weight gain it’s between 20 to 30% fat consumption, once you have figured out your protein intake calories and your fat intake calories you can leave the remainder calories to carbohydrates and all you have to do is take your remainder number and divided by four and that’s how many grams of carbs you should consume. Let me know if you need anymore help! Took me a while but I finally get it.
I am 41 years old.65.6 kilos and 1.65 cm tall.And are losing 1 kilo per week.And consuming now 1200 calories.Protein is 110 grams,Carbs are 110 grams,and fat is 30 grams.And I am training 6 days peer week with no cardio.And my workdays is me sitting on my computer.Do you think I am eating to little for my sice or do it sound kinda right?Been training for a year now.And i am aiming for weight loss.
I don't know if this is a stupid question but how do you know exactly how much calorie you're eating? For example how do you know that the rice you had is 5oz or 1cup?
So a lot of ppl are having weight loss surgery these days. Myself being one. I had GSV in 2017. It’s difficult for us bariatric patients to know whether these advisement videos are applicable to us bc now our lifetime caloric intake is altered majorly. Any thoughts?
Mike how long do you recommend getting your body used to eating more calories before going on a bulk or cut? I'm in the same situation as your client however I'm 17 so I think my metabolism would be faster than the gentleman in the video. Any help is much appreciated.
Good vid, how about the 3 body types could you explain for example someone who can put on muscle easily but takes ages to lose fat could you explain a diet and training example I. E. Weights or hiit low carb etc? Thanks!
Yah because im around 14-15% which isnt a bad size to me but i wouldnt mind losing weight to aim for more of a 9-10 bfp or if possible a lower pertentage of 6-7 bfp
Good Afternoon Mike, could I please provide you with my lunch details today to get your opinion. Im 183cm. 99kg with fat around the mid section and a long term lifter.

Definitely! It's good to simplify everything to just the basics

Thanks Mike, never knew about increasing metabolism, maybe where I'm going wrong. love the no BS straight talking.
@305PROTEIN what do you mean when you say get your blood work done?
You're my favorite youtuber! Thanks for the great content. My problem is I spend way too much time digging around on RUclips trying to filter through all the Vlog crap and just get to the meaty information like what you provide. Where do you like to get your information? Like books/blogs/etc?
Thank you thank you thank you. This client you mention is almost the same as I have been. Also I purchased your male workout program. Day 2!
M3fanatic1 how did it go?
I guess u didnt had the consistency
Thank you!!!! I am a yoga and Barre instructor in London and a newly qualified PT and I was getting so stressed out about the Macro calculator apps. What you are saying makes sense.

4 different RUclips videos on the same subject I have now watched in a row...... all four have given complete different advice.
welcome to the internet
Exactly
This might be the most helpful video I’ve watched and I’ve been watching a lot trying to learn about this stuff
This channel is amazing, thank you so much for your content! You are an excellent communicator!
One thing I've noticed (as an older guy starting to work out properly after a maaaassive break) is that a lot of dudes seem to be focusing on macro's with little to no attention on actual nutrition whatsoever.

Chat shit
Your comment answers itself. Hes talking about macronutrients not micronutrients, exactly as the title states!
If you want a video on micronutrients, ask for one or watch a video on it.
Great! This information is gained over years and is now available and easily explained.
I've been working out for a while now. I always like to think I'm pretty informed on everything, however I always learn new things watching your videos. Keep the good shit coming, cheers 👍

ive been going to gym for about 2 years but wasn't doing it right until 6 months ago and kicked it up a gear and now im trying to bulk
Geez! There's a 3rd option??? Build up my metabolism. DAMN!! That's what's been missing. Thanks Mike
Thanks Mike - At last, a vid that has even touched on my particular issue as with your client I under eat. So little info on this out there.
So I have a question. What if I have a ludicrously high metabolism and never have to worry about body fat, but at the same time find it very difficult to put on muscle weight? (I've been 150 for about a year now) Should I just try to eat even more that I already am?

I can't say for sure as I don't know enough about you. That being said I would 1. Try eating more. How many calories are you consuming? 2. Don't go to the gym every day, have a 1-2 days off and focus more on rest and recovery. You may save yourself from burning unnecessary calories.
The rest days make a lot of sense. I'm consuming (on average) about 1700 calories in a given day. I take it that's not enough to compensate for the calories I'm burning. I'll be sure to take a look at your nutrition videos.
Tommy Watson Hi man, I also find it difficult to gain weight, although I have considerably over a few years now (25ish lbs). I'm currently on 3500cals a day and still only gaining a lb of weight a week if that! I'm no expert but you're not eating enough! As Mike said... increase cals week by week steadily. I also do minimal cardio, but focus on steady state cardio (Walks etc)
Thank you so much. That helps a lot!
definitely eat more, throw 3 days of cardio in and try eating more calories around 3500-4500 a day. I guarantee you will put on size
Mike give us the BMR formula for working out how many calories/day we need.
do i really need to reduce protein intake if it's too high?
How high is it?
Yo mike could you explain training intensity please?
I love your vids bro, especially the ones explaining how to do the exercises!
Keep em coming i'll keep watching em.
Thank you very much for making this video, I'm in the same situation as this guy and now I know what I have to do! Thanks for everything you do.
wow thanks mike, i was like the guy in ur video i was on 1500 cal and still not getting lean i need to increase my cals and do more cardio
Who here is watching this in 2022? Love the vid mike! Looking to put on some size this year now that Covid restrictions are easing up and going to the beach is more possible lol. Great video appreciate the info 👍🏼

Mike your videos was very informative.kudos. 👍.I just want to ask you.is there any app to track the macros?
omg i love how you teach that topic, thank youu
Hey Mike, should I eat more or less salt to look more ripped? How much salt do you eat per day? On average, what do you recommend for daily salt intake?
hey Mike, what's your daily caloric intake? And what is your daily activity like? Medium to highly active?
Anywhere between 2,500-3,500kcal depending upon my goals, current body composition, daily activity/exercise etc. Daily activity levels are usually medium as I work from home most of the time.
Thanks for the tips Mikey
This is really great and helpful information, quality content right here!
very informative video, but how did you help your client with building his metabolism?
great video thanks Mike - good solid, practical advice
There are various sites which show how to calculate your daily calories to maintain, increase, or decrease your weight. In my case, I am 180 lbs.and want to get to 160 lbs., so should I put my goal weight, (160 lbs.), and check the maintenance box in the calculations, in order to get my basal metabolic rate, (maintenance calories), and thus add or decrease calories based on whether I want to add muscle or burn fat? Thanks a lot for the great info.
This is very interesting. Thanks a lot.
Just realised my daily life routine is upside down due to my diet failure. Goodness, video is Amazing.
great video as always, Mike! thanks!
Much clearer then I've heard before
Thanks Mike, this was a helpful video
As someone guilty of restricting kcals and doing excess cardio, is the process of slowly increasing kcal consumption in order to build up metabolism similar to Stephanie Buttermore's 'All in' approach? First she gained weight, then it dropped.
great video mike thank you, this exactly the information that i needed to hear
bro, why don't you have 270k views? Thank you so much. Favourite RUclipsr.
So, where are the calculations for figure our your macros? You just bashed the online sites, but you didn't give an example on how to figure them out. Do you do that in another video? If so, which one?
Janet find out your TDEE which is how much you weigh times 14 (rough yet close estimate) that’s how many calories you need to consume to maintain your size and weight NOW. Once you have found that determine whether you want to bulk which was adding his amt of calories to your TDEE or reduce based on your TDEE. Once you have found your caloric intake configure your macro necessities around your caloric intake that is necessary for your fitness goals. Since he says you need to consume 2.2 kg of protein per gram that equates to 1.1 pounds of how much you weigh currently, so multiply 1.1 times how much you weigh and that’s how many grams of protein you need to consume. Once you have found the amount of grams of protein you need to consume multiply that number times 4 and that is how many calories that are dedicated towards protein alone. Now subtract that by your total and the rest of the calories will go to fat and carbohydrates. Fats equal 9 cal per gram consumed and carbohydrates equal 4 cal per gram consumed. Ideally for fat loss you should consume about 15 to 25% caloric value in fats. So take your total number of How much you choose to consume multiply it times a number between .15 and .25 then divide that number by nine and that is how many grams of fat you need to consume in order to stay within your macros for your interest in fat loss. I think for weight gain it’s between 20 to 30% fat consumption, once you have figured out your protein intake calories and your fat intake calories you can leave the remainder calories to carbohydrates and all you have to do is take your remainder number and divided by four and that’s how many grams of carbs you should consume. Let me know if you need anymore help! Took me a while but I finally get it.
I am 41 years old.65.6 kilos and 1.65 cm tall.And are losing 1 kilo per week.And consuming now 1200 calories.Protein is 110 grams,Carbs are 110 grams,and fat is 30 grams.And I am training 6 days peer week with no cardio.And my workdays is me sitting on my computer.Do you think I am eating to little for my sice or do it sound kinda right?Been training for a year now.And i am aiming for weight loss.
Mike what about when it comes to actually measuring food, would you use a weight and scale?
brilliant for beginners like me. thank you mike
I don't know if this is a stupid question but how do you know exactly how much calorie you're eating? For example how do you know that the rice you had is 5oz or 1cup?
Buy a scale
Cronometer app works well for me x
So a lot of ppl are having weight loss surgery these days. Myself being one. I had GSV in 2017. It’s difficult for us bariatric patients to know whether these advisement videos are applicable to us bc now our lifetime caloric intake is altered majorly. Any thoughts?
Mike how long do you recommend getting your body used to eating more calories before going on a bulk or cut? I'm in the same situation as your client however I'm 17 so I think my metabolism would be faster than the gentleman in the video. Any help is much appreciated.
thank you so much my friend
He’s a bit mesmerizing...And once I stopped drooling I learned a lot about macros😂 thanks mike!!!
Was legit trying to work out my Macros earlier today! You're a fucking legend Mike 👌🏽
You did break it down very nicely, thanks for the video :)
This was soon helpful..thank you so much
Great channel Mike, keep up the good content.
Great Informed Video Mike 👍😀📹
Good clear advice, thanks
Good vid, how about the 3 body types could you explain for example someone who can put on muscle easily but takes ages to lose fat could you explain a diet and training example I. E. Weights or hiit low carb etc? Thanks!
12% being high, I’d say more like 14% in the off-season
Yah because im around 14-15% which isnt a bad size to me but i wouldnt mind losing weight to aim for more of a 9-10 bfp or if possible a lower pertentage of 6-7 bfp
Lol you guys don't have any idea about below 10 percent BF. Certainly Mike doesn't have clue that much too
This video is perfect.
Mike, what about 2000 calories on keto+if. It’s enough or no?

Does BMR make a difference whether you’re overweight or muscular? I want to make sure I’m calculating correctly.
