  Sorry hor. You eat calories. I eat food leh......!
  
  Counting calories like dat is a rather pathetic way to live one's life to me.....
  As long as we practise moderation in our daily food consumption, I think dat shud be quite good enuf liao....
  
  More calories or less in one's intake, on its own, doesn't guarantee good health wat.......

  You have no clue..
  
  I need the protein to repair and build my muscle tissue.And if i cut back like 500 kcals.I risk losing lean muscle tissue which is not the case i want because the competition season is coming soon.
  
  Also notice i eat healthy not just dump any sort of crap i see in my mouth.

  Precious's eyeballing and moderation technique may work well for the average ah seng who is sedentary, but for anyone serious in any kind of athletic endeavor, it falls way short of ideal.
  
  Anyway Simon, can help me ask? Is it direct from the farm or from some organic shop? Also, how long does it last? Thanks man.

  counting once in a while is a good idea, so you can know if its your diet thats slowing down your cutting or bulking progress, and to make sure you getting the correct amounts of macronutrients.
  
  I take in about 2700- 3200 a day, hard to get an exact figure daily coz eating different things each day.
