It's because you have trained your body into thinking it will possibly starve so it stores more in anticipation. Eat when you get up. Something small.... but eat. Then healthy snacks through the day.

I don't eat food-food before my work outs (they're at 3:30am out here.. it's the only way to get my work outs in without having to wait for equipment or free weights). But I do use Gu gels right before, and depending on the duration of the work out, during. Gives your body energy without weighing you down. I'm taking other supplements as well (BSN CellMass and Syntha-6), but I'm just trying to maintain my weight and tone up at this point.

Intense training before feeding will in fact allow your body to feed on the stored protein/aminos in muscles as fuel. Any weight he could be gaining is most likely food or water weight that he takes in later in the day.

Actually a pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat. The body will just look different depending on which pound(s) there are more of.

Was going to say the same thing. A pound is a pound is a pound, but it is a matter of how dense the material.

...And its metabolic performance. Brown fat/white fat/lean muscle...all do different things metabolically.

No fucking shit.

While I do have a bit more to lose than some of you, I can run on 1500-1800 cals for the first 3-4 weeks of an intense pre-season with little to no drops in energy. And i've never seen any of that "body starvation reaction" at all, becuase i can lose a constant 4-8 pounds a week depending on my workout.

Um, isn't that technically a starch?

You? Your such a skinny mini! But 3 pounds could come off in a dedicated week....

Clearly, but the fat takes up more "space".

Kinda like a pound of pillows weighs the same as a pound of bricks. Which one will fill the space faster.

I got another 10 lbs I want to loose, I haven't been able to work out as much as I usually do and over the last winter I just put on a quick (small) beer belly. I messed up my left knee in a jump 4 years ago and have seen a steady increase in the amount of lateral movement to about 4mm now.
