Russell Wilson leans on nine-meal diet to trim pounds
The amount of calories these guys can take in and still lose weight is absurd. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...gn=Twitter_atn Quote:

Yeah, I'm the same way at home. I'm more precise at restaurants because I can't take any chances that there won't be cheese on the burger.

This is quite confusing and interesting to me. I'm not going to go into this too in depth, but just about anyone you talk to about weight loss will tell you that it's all about caloric intake. 'Calories in, calories out'. It makes sense that way. If you are in a positive energy balance, you should gain weight, and vise versa.
So I'm just trying to understand how the dude could be losing more weight by eating that many more calories. I would say that it could be due to low carbs allowing fat to be used for energy, but there are still quite a few carbs in his diet. Reminds me of the Michael Phelps deal where he would eat like 9000 calories a day or some crazy shit when training for the Olympics. |

Something doesn't add up because between workouts and practice there's no way Wilson should have gained weight eating only 2700 calories.
I'm going to guess he likes his beer. |

This is the most realistic theory I would say. Something like alcohol would have to be involved to see such an odd change, IMO

Imagine eating at a Mexican restaraunt and having a beer or two. You'll feel like taking a nap after because that's a metric **** load of carbs and sodium. Water weight galore. |

"Calories from alcohol are 'empty calories', they have no nutritional value. Most alcoholic drinks contain traces of vitamins and minerals, but not usually in amounts that make any significant contribution to our diet. Drinking alcohol also reduces the amount of fat your body burns for energy2."
Yeah, I'd say it HAD to be beer/alcohol. |

That's why I just roll my eyes when people say they can lose 9 pounds in a couple of days, when 95% of it is water. |

Which also sounds kind of bizarre (that much of an increase) but what do I know? These guys have the means to totally dedicate themselves to pro-athlete training programs and hire professionals to track/prepare every single calorie that goes into their bodies. |

First, we know that for explosive sports, the body prefers carbohydrates for energy and will preferentially burn them. Some people don't do well on low-carb diets, so if he didn't eat a lot of carbs, he might have not been burning a ton of calories because he just COULDN'T. Second, we know that if you're burning a lot of calories, you can eat a ton of carbs and they basically will never be stored as fat. When people eat a ton of carbs AND fat, that's when they gain weight (or don't lose it). The body burns off the carbs and stores the fat, which is conveniently already in fat form, as fat! Third, it appears as though his new diet is pretty low on fat, and high on carbs. So, what I deduce from this new diet is that 1) He's got a lot more energy, primarily from his carb sources, 2) leading to more intense workouts, allowing him to burn up all of the increased calories, 3) leading to a bigger energy deficit, and 4) he's not eating a ton of fat to be stored as fat, which leads to losing weight through better food choices for his activity. Just a guess. |

This is a very interesting thread with a lot of good information. I have finally learned a few things on this subject after all these years that is helping me.
We have totally eliminated dairy, potatoes and pasta from our diet the last eight months and count/log every calorie. It is nice to find something that works for us old farts. Of course it is also nice that eggs are no longer the devil to the cardiologists. |

It's actually amazing how easy it is to track this stuff if you use a good website and your diet doesn't vary a whole lot.
After a month or so you can do it in your sleep and even though your calorie count may not be 100% accurate over the long haul it keeps you accountable and prevents you from going over your BMR. If you don't do that, all you're going to do is drop weight. |

Ten years ago, the website I used on my first attempt was at it's infancy. You had to manually enter all of the nutritional data for almost everything which made it unsustainable for me. Now, virtually everything you can buy is entered, including chain restaurants, so it is just a matter of entering the serving size and it calculates real time data for you. You know exactly why you feel lean and mean or bloated the next day. Cool stuff IMO. The amount of sodium in restaurant and prepared food is almost criminal imo. |
