Were they wearing kneepads?

The most expensive ones available to humanity.

AND curmudeondlyness..

 

[boohoo]

AND curmudeondlyness..

what EastEnder ?

AND curmudeondlyness..

Is that a thing? I like the sound of it.

It's a thing especially for this thread

Curmudeondly sounds far too nice for this thread.

What impact of physical activity? Who's being misleading? Admit you got it wrong eh?

The impact on calories burned of course, which is what was being discussed.

You are avoiding my question.

The impact is small barring very intense activity. BMR is mostly dependent on fat free mass.

Brixton wise I would like to know what is happening with two shops up on the hill. The antiques shop is supposedly going to be a coffee shop but it looks like it’s still being fitted out. The old record shop opposite has some fancy new tiling and signage (I think it says ‘alkaline’) but is also still boarded up….


Anyone know anything?

 

[Mr Retro]

I'm sitting on my arse working but am wearing expensive gym gear. It means I'm burning more calories than I consume.

Those of you sitting on your arse wearing cheap gym gear are being merely calorie neutral.

Worst of all is I bet some of you are mixing cheap gym gear with ill advised sartorial choices from the decade in which you were a teen/in your early 20's. You are all actively putting on weight.

I know a little about the old record shop from Nicole in Christine's next door. It sounds like it's going to be some kind of health food shop which is taking a long time to get refurbished. It should be opening some time soon(ish).

I am on my knees wearing expensive celery. Can someone tell me whether this is calorie negative or positive. It certainly feels very positive.

is it the latest, most expensive celery?

I'm not talking about the impact of physical activity on BMR. I'm talking about the impact of physical activity on total amount of calories burned, and that impact is significant.

Telling someone what their BMR is might be interesting for them if they've never thought about it before. But it doesn't tell them much about their ability to adjust the number of calories they burn each day, which is what people are generally interested in if they are looking into how many calories they consume/expend. Telling someone that 2/3rds of the calories they burn each day happens while they are doing nothing doesn't tell them anything about the potential to change this, and it deosn't tell them that their personal rate may be somewhat lower than this if they live a largely sedentary lifestyle.

Please can you tell us which street in which ward you are doing this before we judge you fully.

 

[Rushy]

It was when I bought it with gold bars. It's a little droopy now but that makes it a while lot easier to crawl in.

 

[SpamMisery]

You're wearing them wrong. Celery was designed as shin pads for football

and am I right in assuming you're wearing it outdoors, somewhere where it might be a little unusual to see someone with celery strapped to the knees?

 

[Dan U]

You're wearing them wrong. Celery was designed as shin pads for football

or using as stumps when playing cricket with a stick of rhubarb as a bat

 

[Rushy]

Please can you tell us which street in which ward you are doing this before we judge you fully.

It must be a fairly deprived area because I'm the only one wearing organic celery. A casual observer would only notice the difference if they were an expert on celery.

Are you wearing the celery for support

Firstly physical activity doesn't have a large impact on BMR, secondly diet will on average have a much larger effect on caloric balance than exercise.

 

[TruXta]

In fact, obesity is associated with a higher BMR.

 

[Rushy]

Are you wearing the celery for support

Nope. Just to be flash.

 

[Angellic]

 

[Rushy]

That's the cheaper stuff. I'm more

Firstly physical activity doesn't have a large impact on BMR,

Can you actually read?

You seem to be struggling to differentiate between (a) the effect of physical excercise on BMR and (b) the effect of physical exercise on the proportion of total calories expended via BMR. You keep going on about (a) when from the beginning I have been talking about (b).

secondly diet will on average have a much larger effect on caloric balance than exercise.

Same applies to diet as exercise. If someone is interested in adjusting their caloric balance, then they are interested in the calory-burning they can control, rather that which they can't. They can't have significant control over their BMR itself, but they can control the proportion of their overall calory-burning that is outside of their BMR. Which is why the potential range of that proportion is of more relevance than the BMR itself. Just to repeat myself all over again.

 

[TruXta]

I'm not the person that brought up the impact of physical activity on BMR am I?

 

[teuchter]

It must be a fairly deprived area because I'm the only one wearing organic celery. A casual observer would only notice the difference if they were an expert on celery.

Just remember that not everyone earns a celery as high as you probably do.

 

[teuchter]

I'm not the person that brought up the impact of physical activity on BMR am I?

Yes, you are. You brought it up in this post:

Physical activity is not a major factor in determining bmr. The 2/3 claim falls well within the accepted range of bmr proportional to total caloric expenditure.

I had not said anything about physical activity impacting BMR previous to that post. You thought I had because you weren't reading anything properly.

Now is the point at which you should apologise to the whole class for disrupting the thread with your carelessness.
