let us not forget the major role your metabolism plays in burning fat... and how your metabolism is genetically predispositioned! My best friend is bulking and eats eight meals a day with a rediculous amount of calories in protien carbs and some fat... with almost no cardio work and all lifting he still as a six pack and low BF% (last measurement was under 10%) My other friend has just as dedicated of a lifting plan but runs countless miles a day, plays on an indoor soccer team, and a company basketball team. If he took in half as many calories as "friend 1" even with all of that lifting and cardio he would be fat as shit haha
As a result he keeps a much stricter caloric intake and during the summer uses varying forms of ECA to increase his metabolism.
So I apologize for being long winded, but just wanted to make some of you aware not everyone is blessed with a turbo metabolism in thier gene pool. And although we all know there is no substitute for a disciplined diet, steady lifting plan, and regular cardio exercise.... some people still may need to add to their training a supplement to boost thier metabolism.
