#calculating macros

[terrorbirb]

My dream is to make a calculator website with all the calculators I've come up with. I have calculators for manufacturing, sewing, uhm the combination of the two, and new calculators for my new job. I don't want to Google for calculators anymore, I just want a site that I can view on my phone and it's just ones for ME and people I teach about them.

I guess I want some modules too like stop watches.

[ardri-na-bpiteog]

Watching fitness influencer diet videos is good for helping me accept I will never look like them because I like good food way too much to commit to some boring diet that prioritises "macros" over actually like...enjoying your food.

Muscle Gain: How to Maximize Your Health and Well-Being

Achieving muscle gain requires a comprehensive approach. To start, understanding your protein needs is crucial. Calculate your protein intake with a handy calculator, then choose the best protein powder to fuel your workouts. Crafting meal plans rich in high-protein foods is key, but remember, it's not just about eating - it's about workouts too. Develop a workout plan tailored to your goals, whether it's a 5-day split or a full-body routine. Supplements can also play a role; consider protein shakes and pre-workout options. Additionally, maintaining a balanced diet for muscle gain and fat loss is essential, as well as proper post-workout nutrition.

It can be a fun fact you can annoy people with at parties or something…I dunno.Īnyway, let’s roll on to the next question pictured above. Maybe just a, “Yay, I know how many calories I burn by being alive!”. This is the energy (calories) you expend doing absolutely nothing, simply by being alive.įor all intents and purposes, this number is just for your information and isn’t something you should overly concern yourself with. STEP 1.2 – Your BMR and Your Daily Activity Level (NEAT + NEPA)Īs pictured above, after you’ve input your bodyfat % (or not) you’ll get an initial calculation of your BMR – Basal Metabolic Rate. Honestly, most people do not have an accurate idea of their bodyfat percentage and the calculator will still spit out a relatively accurate estimation of your calories. If you have any doubts about what your bodyfat is, just choose “no”. Whichever you are used to using with)ĭo you know your body fat %? This question is really only for people who have a very good idea of their bodyfat percentage. Enter your gender, your age, height and weight (Use the tabs to the right of these to choose imperial or metric for each. The image above is pretty self explanatory and asks standard questions. Your TDEE is your total daily energy expenditure including all of your daily activities – Step 1 is about finding this total out and calculating how many calories you burn in a given day. This iifym calorie calculator takes the guesswork out of how many calories you need for your goal and what those calories consist of (macronutrients) These are your proteins, carbs and fats – Your calories are made up of macronutrients. If the goal is fat loss, obviously the weight you want to lose is fat while retaining as much lean muscle as possible. If you want to build muscle? You want the majority of your weight gain to come from lean muscle tissue. Of course, calories are not the end all and be all – WHERE those calories come from is also important so that you can determine where your weight gain or loss comes from. That’s where this calculator is your hook up. Without knowing and consuming the correct amount of calories for your goal, you may as well be taking shots in the dark where your goals are concerned.

If weight loss is a factor, then aim for the lower end of the figures.įor more accurate fuelling strategies, using VO2Max testing, we are able to calculate how many carbohydrates you need during different intensities. The free macronutrient calculator can give you a complete breakdown of what you should eat. The summary of these recommendations from the IOC can be found on the table below. To use the macro calculator, you need to. This calorie & macro calculator will give you estimates of the number of calories and the ratio of protein. By adjusting your macronutrient ratio based on your age, sex, activity levels, goals, and preferences, you can optimize your eating plan. I have a FREE 5-day meal plan for you, with a shopping list, pantry guide, and progress tracker. Your macronutrient ratio would then be: 30:40:30. For Very Muscular, your FFMI should be >24. I want to ensure you have everything you need to get started. Martin recommends that those with a Fat-Free Mass Index (FFMI) >22 choose Muscular. Generally, you will need to consume around 3-5g per kg of (target bodyweight per day for lighter activity and potentially up to 10-12 for extreme programming.

We can also look at manipulating your carbohydrate intake for fat loss and metabolic adaptation but this goes beyond the realms of this page. Ultra-endurance maybe the exception which utilises fat as its primary fuel source, however, beyond being used as just as a fuel, adequate carbohydrates is important for recovery and can help spare muscle mass. If you're an endurance athlete, my advice is to swap steps 6 and 7 around as it is more important to get match your carbohydrates with the training you are doing.Ĭarbohydrates are the preferred fuel for endurance performance, however the amount you require for each session will be dependent on its duration, intensity and type of session.

Therefore, creating a calorie deficit of 500-1,000 calories per day can lead to a max weight loss rate of 2lbs/week. Taking this into consideration, it is more feasible to cut back on food since daily caloric requirements for maintaining weight are much higher. So keeping that in mind, the goal is to lose 1-2lbs per week.įor sedentary individuals, it would be recommended to set a goal of losing 1lb per week, which would equate to a calorie deficit of 500 calories/day.įor more active individuals, daily calorie requirements are higher in order to account for exercise and active lifestyles. More often than not, when weight loss exceeds 2lbs in a week, the majority of that is water loss. That would equate to a calorie deficit of 1,000 calories per day. See this blog on How Many Carbs Per Day for Weight Loss to learn more.įor healthy, sustainable weight loss, it is generally not advisable to lose more than 2 pounds of fat per week. Step 2: Divide answers in step 1 by 4 since there are 4 calories per 1 gram of carbohydrate Multiply daily calorie requirements by 0.45 & 0.65 to obtain calories from carbohydrates. Step 1: Calculating grams of carbohydrates. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that carbohydrates should make up 45-65% of one’s daily calories. Third: Calculate Daily Carbohydrate needs See this blog on How Much Fat Per Day for Weight Loss to learn more. Using both of these references you can calculate your daily fat needs: The Dietary Guidelines for Americans also recommends fat should make up 20-35% of one’s total daily calories. To prevent any fatty acid deficiencies it is recommended to consume at minimum 1g/kg of fat per day. Multiply weight in kilograms by range that best fits your activity levels. This is the last step of calculating calories, and it's one that's absolutely essential for getting accurate weight loss results.ĭid you know that protein is a huge catalyst for weight loss and hunger satiation?

Death Row’s Last Meal

Commission for an anonymous user here on Tumblr, thank you for commissioning me and letting me post it!

Content: M/M, Oral Vore, Chewing, Teasing, Cruel Pred, Graphic Digestion, G/T, Macro/Micro, Unwilling Prey

Bang bang bang!

The incessant knocking on Kyle's door reverberated through his apartment, each thud intensifying the curiosity and irritation etched across his face. As he approached the peephole, he saw two individuals in suits, their expressions serious, the weight of an unusual task etched on their features. He reluctantly opened the door, skepticism emanating from his eyes.

"Kyle?" the first agent asked, holding up an official-looking device for verification.

"Yeah, that's me. What's this about?" Kyle grumbled, rubbing his eyes, trying to make sense of the situation.

The second agent sighed, a weariness in his voice. "Kyle, this isn't easy for us either." They gave each other a slight look, "Look, we're here because of Dawson's last meal request. He asked specifically for you."

A moment of awkward silence went by, Kyle not fully comprehending. "By law, we need to shrink you and take you to him."

Kyle's eyes widened, and he leaned back, hoping this was some absurd prank. "Hold on, you're telling me I'm on the menu for some death row guy? Are you being for real?"

Both agents exchanged glances, a shared acknowledgment of the surreal nature of their mission. The first agent spoke, "Dead serious, Kyle. Dawson's last meal is, well, you."

Kyle laughed nervously, searching for any sign that this was a prank, but the agents' stony expressions persisted. "This has to be a fucking joke, right? You two bought these outfits to fuck with people?"

The second agent shook his head, showing official badges that certified their government affiliation. "We wish it were a joke, Kyle. This is the law, and... Well, it's happening whether you want it or not."

In a desperate attempt to shut out the surreal intrusion, Kyle slammed the door shut, pouring all his strength into resisting the inevitable. But the agents, with a calculated and practiced force, countered, pushing back against the door, and it swung back open, knocking Kyle off balance. He stumbled and fell to the ground, swearing vehemently.

"Get the fuck off me, assholes!" Kyle shouted as they ambushed him, "I still have my rights!"

The first agent, unfazed by Kyle's protests, retorted, "You have the right to be someone's last meal, buddy. Now quit resisting, or it's gonna get real ugly for you."

In the midst of the struggle, the second agent grabbed a syringe from his pocket. "Hold still, Kyle. This will be a lot easier for everyone if you just cooperate."

"Like hell, I will!" Kyle yelled, desperately trying to break free. He managed to shout for help, hoping someone in the hallway would intervene, but his cries seemed to vanish into the empty corridor.

The first agent rolled his eyes. "Come on, man, we're just doing our job. This will happen one way or another."

The second agent, seizing the moment, injected the shrinking liquid into Kyle's forearm. The effects were almost immediate. Kyle's body began to shrink rapidly, his clothes sagging around him as he tumbled to the ground.

"Fuck... you," Kyle managed to stammer before beginning to shrink rapidly.

As the shrinking process took hold, Kyle felt an odd sensation throughout his body. It started as a tingling in his extremities, a strange vibration that gradually enveloped him. His surroundings shifted; the once-familiar dimensions of his apartment now transformed into a vast and towering landscape.

The agents loomed above him, their figures expanding to colossal proportions. Every detail of their faces, their clothing, became magnified as if he were viewing them through an ever-zooming lens. The ambient sounds around him intensified, a cacophony of footsteps in the hallway now resembling distant thunder.

Kyle's clothes, initially snug, began to loosen and slide off his diminishing form. The fabric sagged like oversized drapes, eventually abandoning his shrinking frame altogether. Soon, he found himself entirely exposed, his nakedness accentuating the vulnerability of his reduced size.

The room, once comfortable and familiar, now assumed an alien quality. The furniture, once easily reachable, became insurmountable obstacles. The texture of the carpet transformed into a vast expanse, the fibers now strands that were difficult to navigate.

The agent, his colossal hand blotting out the surroundings, swiftly closed in on Kyle. The once-mighty punches that Kyle could deliver were now feeble, like the flailing of a helpless insect. With a deft motion, the agent scooped him up, his grasp securing around Kyle's diminished form.

Struggling within the confines of the agent's grip, Kyle found himself powerless against the giant force that now controlled his fate. The agent, nonchalant and almost indifferent to Kyle's tiny struggles, deposited him into a clear, sealed zip-bag.

Through the transparent barrier, Kyle could see the agent's face, looming large and expressionless. The casual yet authoritative tone persisted as the agent remarked, "Be grateful he didn't ask for you to be cooked." The implication of such a statement hung in the air, emphasizing the grim reality of his situation, as he zipped it shut.

Hours later, the legal rigmarole finally concluded, Kyle found himself delivered to the designated death row inmate. The muscular, toned man wore the standard orange inmate clothing, his blue eyes sharp and piercing. His dirty blonde hair and slight facial hair added a rugged edge to his appearance. The chiseled jaw and the smirk that played on his lips gave him a cruel demeanor.

As the zipped bag containing Kyle was handed over, the death row inmate's demeanor remained unapologetically harsh. "’Bout fuckin' time you got here. Was gettin' real hungry," he declared with a casual yet menacing tone. The implication was clear – Kyle was not just a shrunken man; he was a meal, a dehumanized object to be consumed and cruelly teased, his whole life turned upside-down in an instant based on the whims of a criminal, as law had it.

Dawson unzipped the bag, revealing the shrunken Kyle. The inmate's large, calloused hand grabbed him, his grip firm and unyielding. There was no gentleness in his touch, only a cruel sense of control.

He held Kyle up, eyeing him with a mixture of amusement and disdain. "Look at you, all fuckin' tiny. Little shit. You thought you were special, didn't ya?" Dawson's words dripped with cruel teasing, as if reveling in the degradation of his prey. "Well, you're just a meal for me, and let me tell ya, it's gonna fuckin' suck."

Dawson's laughter echoed, a harsh sound that matched the cruel amusement in his eyes. He brought Kyle closer to his face, his breath hot and heavy. "You're gonna feel every bit of pain as I chew on you, and then, buddy, the real fun starts when you slide down my throat. Most painful fuckin' digestion you can imagine."

The casual tone of his threats, peppered with obscenities, heightened the brutality of the situation. There was no mercy in Dawson's words, only a brutal honesty about the agony that awaited Kyle.

Kyle squirmed desperately in Dawson's grasp, his small form doing little against the inmate's powerful hold. "Please, man, you can't do this! I'm a fucking person, not your damn snack!" he pleaded, his voice a mix of fear and desperation.

Dawson only laughed, a harsh sound that echoed in the small space between them. "Oh, you're a person, alright. A person 'bout to become my next meal. A person ‘bout to be dead.” Dawson gave Kyle a clear view of his abs, before speaking again. “See that, little fucker? That’s where you’re goin’. And that’s where you’re fuckin’ dyin’.”

Kyle, in protest, physically struggled against the giant man's brutal grasp. Dawson chuckled at Kyle's feeble squirms. "Aw, ain't you a little fighter?" He squeezed his tiny captive tighter, relishing the feeling of the struggles against his palm. "Guess it don't matter how much you fight, you're endin' up in my gut anyway."

He lifted Kyle closer to his face, opening his mouth wide. "Take a good fuckin' whiff, 'cause you're gonna be smellin' a lot more of it soon." Dawson huffed in Kyle's face, his breath hot and tainted with the scent of the impending doom that awaited him. He smirked at Kyle's discomfort, finding perverse pleasure in the psychological torment.

"Fuck, that stinks!" Kyle said, the smell being more suffocating due to his small lung size. "You can't do this, you're violating my rights as an upstanding citizen."

"The law ain't gonna save your tiny ass, being a law-abiding citizen was what got you here in the first place." Dawson taunted. "You're just another meal for me, a criminal eatin' up a supposed 'civil' citizen. Life's a bitch, ain't it?" The casual cruelty in Dawson's tone only intensified the despair of the situation, his words a relentless reminder of the power he held over Kyle's fate.

Dawson's tongue snaked around Kyle, pulling him into the hot, cavernous expanse of his mouth. The taste was overwhelming, a mixture of saliva and the remnants of Dawson's last meal, probably from yesterday. The smell, a pungent blend of mouth odor and saliva, hung heavily in the air.

As Dawson sucked on Kyle, his tongue pressed against him, the firm grip restricting any chance of escape. The saliva clung to Kyle's naked form, making his struggles more futile with each passing second. Dawson reveled in the feeling of his tiny captive squirming, the vibrations of his movements causing him immense pleasure.

Then came the chewing. Dawson didn't hold back; he bit down with force, causing sharp pain to radiate through Kyle's diminutive body. The pressure was enough to bruise, to inflict injury, but not to end him. Each chew bit down harder, causing evident bruising on his body.

"Fuck!" Kyle's pained expletive escaped through the chaotic mess of Dawson's chewing, his teeth pressing down on him from top and bottom, coated with saliva and unrelenting in their biting.

Dawson grinned, feeling the distress coursing through Kyle. "Ain't it somethin', bein' chewed up alive? You're just a lil' appetizer before the real show in my gut." The malice in his tone amplified the horror, making each chew a brutal punctuation mark in the merciless consumption of Kyle.

Dawson continued his nonchalant demeanor as Kyle slid down his throat, the struggling form creating an evident bulge in the muscular curve of Dawson's neck. The descent was a hot, tight journey into the core of the beast, the casual cruelty persisting even as the tiny man entered the churning depths of Dawson's stomach.

The sensation of Kyle arriving in the stomach was marked by a distinct, guttural sound.

"BuUuRp!"

Escaped from Dawson's lips, a casual belch that coincided with the finality of Kyle's journey. The stomach walls embraced Kyle, the heat and pressure intensifying as he settled into the acidic pool. Dawson, seemingly unfazed, leaned back, savoring the moment as he patted his now-filled belly.

"Agreed to let 'em keep me alive until you're digested. Don't think you're gonna have a quick end, Kyle."

Dawson, smirking with a cruel glint in his eye, decided to make it more personal. He placed a flat hand against his abdominal muscles, his abs bulging out slightly due to the tiny's presence. "Now, little man, let's have some fuckin' fun."

With a sudden flex of his abdominal muscles, Dawson tightened his stomach around Kyle. The pressure was immense, a crushing force that left Kyle gasping for breath. Dawson's abs, chiseled and defined, clenched with power. The cruel twist of a smile adorned Dawson's face as he relished in Kyle's agony.

Kyle, caught in the throes of the stomach squeeze, couldn't help but swear through gritted teeth. "Fuck you, you sadistic asshole!"

Dawson's laughter filled the air as he continued to tighten his stomach around Kyle. "Squeezin' the life outta ya with my abs, and you're weak as fuck, can't do shit about it from in there."

As Dawson flexed and squeezed, Kyle's body contorted with the pressure. It was an excruciating experience, made worse by the casual cruelty of Dawson's actions. Each flex of those powerful abs seemed to mock Kyle's pain, turning the entire ordeal into a sadistic game for Dawson's amusement. The air was filled with Kyle's pained cries and the giant's taunts.

After excruciating minutes, Dawson let his stomach muscles relax and his abs bulged out slightly again. Kyle felt the squeeze subside, but his body was sore from how crushing it was. His body was now soaked entirely with acid, his skin beginning to tingle, and only now is he comprehending how much pain he's going to be in for the rest of his life.

As the hours unfolded, Dawson's stomach initiated its relentless assault on Kyle's diminutive form. The digestive acids wasted no time, greedily working through the soft flesh and bones of the tiny man. Kyle, now thoroughly bathed in the corrosive juices, experienced an agonizing digestion.

Dawson, nonchalant as ever, let out a casual chuckle, his tone laced with a cruel amusement. "Must be real cozy in there, huh? Feeling the burn?" He patted his own belly, relishing the discomfort he knew Kyle must be enduring.

The graphic scene inside Dawson's stomach unfolded with a visceral intensity. The acids burnt the outer layer of his skin, the pain unbearable as it seeped into his flesh and muscles, his body bleeding.

"Bet you're wishing you were back in your cozy apartment right about now, huh? Guess what, my body's your home sweet home now."

The relentless acids worked through muscle and sinew, reducing Kyle to a slushy mixture within the confines of Dawson's stomach. Kyle, despite his gradually-broken body, tried to fight back. Dawson, thoroughly entertained by the spectacle, couldn't help but offer another biting remark. "You're really giving my abs a workout in there, buddy. Never had a meal fight back so much."

Indifferent to the struggles within, waited for the next few hours to unfold, knowing that the graphic digestion had only just begun.

The corrosive acids, now thoroughly acquainted with Kyle's form, continued their brutal assault. The digestive enzymes, having broken down the outer layers, were now penetrating deeper into the soft tissues, liquefying them with a gruesome efficiency.

Kyle's screams, now reduced to muffled cries, echoed within the fleshy chamber. His body, once whole, was succumbing to the merciless digestive process as he couldn't bear to speak anymore, only cry. The acidic fluid turned a disturbing shade of reddish-green as more of Kyle's blood bled out of him and into it.

"You must look a fuckin' mess in there." Dawson said, rubbing his hand over the small bulge of his stomach.

The graphic scenes unfolded in gruesome detail. The acid, now reaching the deeper recesses of Kyle's anatomy, worked through organs and tissues. The distinct scent of the digestion, a putrid amalgamation of bodily fluids, hung in the air within Dawson's gut.

Kyle's life was being snuffed out brutally in Dawson's gut, the final gasps of his existence silenced by the relentless tide of digestive brutality.

Dawson, indifferent to the life he had just extinguished, burped nonchalantly. The taste of Kyle's blood lingered in his mouth. "Fuck," Dawson huffed, "You're weak as shit."

Dawson lifted his orange inmate shirt, showcasing his toned abs. "Got fuckin' destroyed." He gave it a pat.

"Best last fuckin' meal and last fuckin' thing I do with my life." He said, very content with his choice of a last meal.

How about a match game? Match a babe with the subject they'd be best as a study partner for.

Babes: Lloyd, Ari, Jake, Steve

Subjects: Statistics, Physics, Literature, Economics

-Zombie

Oooo, @thezombieprostitute , I love this ask, but it’s so difficult to choose!!

Referring to this post

Lloyd - Physics: This man can’t make me hate the subject more than I already do. Is he condescending? Yes. Does he make me feel bad for forgetting to calculate horizontal motion into my projectile problems? For sure. But you know what? He’s persistent and he knows his stuff. He’s not gonna stop until I understand it enough to do the problems with my eyes closed.

Ari - Economics: Who knows more about world policy more than any of the other babes? This guy. He has to for his job. Needs to understand the motivator behind most foreign policy: money. Macro, he’s got that locked down. Micro, I’m not sure. I think he likes to save, but I also think stocks annoy him and every now and then he likes to splurge. He’ll give me enough to get by, though.

Jake - Statistics: I love stats, and I love Jakey. I think he’d be full of little facts and tidbits of world applications. He needs stats for the way he runs come and helps direct missions. Needs to know the likelihood of a good outcome and how to interpret and avoid the past mistakes of other ops teams and his own. It would be a lot of fun, except when I have to do a two-way ANOVA by hand and he double checks my work on his computer. That’s not fair.

Steve - Literature: I wholeheartedly believe he loves to read. That was such a common pastime, so even if the classics I’ve been assigned are past his time, he’s more than happy to dig into them with me. I feel like he probably has a better understanding of flowery prose than I do, too. Which is gonna come in handy because my reading comprehension SUCKS.

Let me know what you think! Thank you again, Zombie, for this fun ask!

I bought an 8bitdo Retro mechanical keyboard!

(Picture not mine, source from PC World.)

I wanted a plastic keyboard, I really do not actually use the knob on a Keychron board I have, it still comes in a scooped keycap profile, and it has a companion numpad with a calculator built in. Win/win/win!

This keyboard comes in four designs (not colorways, full designs) themed after the NES, the Famicom, the IBM Model M, and the Commodore 64 keyboard. The NES keycaps have multiple different fonts on them, the Famicom keycaps have Japanese sublegends, the Model M keycaps have a mock stepped Caps Lock key, and the Commodore 64 keycaps are an apparently off-the-shelf SA set from one of many, many, many keycap companies floating around China (I recognize their font and profile shape from Akko ASA keycaps and numerous other scooped profile keycap sets you can have cheaply off of Aliexpress and Amazon. Do check those out, genuinely, you'd struggle to find a bad scooped keycap set these days and I love scooped profiles over Cherry and OEM.)

The build quality of the actual keyboard itself is good, feels like a very similar plastic blend to what 8bitdo uses for its controllers like their Pro 2. Stabilizers are smooth and don't rattle, the legends on the keycaps are reasonably sharp and in NES-appropriate font, the keycaps themselves are MDA profile (I would prefer SA, but beggars can't be choosers) and are somewhat thin but still good quality, dye-sublimated PBT, no warp on the spacebar. Arrow keys are a separate color from the two tones that make up the main keycap set and made to resemble a d-pad. The keyboard itself is somewhat light, but my perception is skewed from using a metal keyboard for a long time, and this is after all a plastic shell, top-mounted keyboard. Even so I think I'll probably end up cracking open the keyboard and putting in some liquid silicone as noise-dampening and additional weight.

Two knobs control both wireless functionality and computer software volume, the wireless knob is heavy with only three options while the volume one is light with many individual steps. The volume knob can be somewhat unresponsive on individual steps. Bluetooth is very responsive and wants to pair with my computer the moment it's flicked over to, and 2.4ghz wireless comes with a receiver that slots into the back of the keyboard magnetically for storage. A power light on the right of the keyboard mimics the NES power light and pulses while charging, is steady while using wireless or when fully charged and connected over USB.

The underlying PCB is south-facing hotswap sockets (who the hell cares their orientation, this only matters for lighting, which this keyboard doesn't have). By default the keyboard comes with Kailh box whites, a very light clicky switch. I yanked them out immediately and put Boba U4T tactiles in because they're the king of all switches. They thunk nicely in this chassis, the Kailh whites weren't slouches either, they did pick a good stock choice for switch without resorting to Gateron or Outemu blue horseshit.

The NES version of the keyboard came with a two-button macro pad that hooks over TRRS cable (you recognize it as a 3.5mm jack or headphone cable) to one of four ports on the top-right of the keyboard. These are essentially just two keyboard switches with giant keycaps on a separate board and the buttons are populated by Gateron greens. The switches are nowhere close to heavy enough to approximate a button, and I gave them Kailh box navies. Still not enough, but better.

These keyboards also come wiiiiiith a companion number pad!

While I don't actually have this one in hand just yet I do have it on order. It looks like it'll be about the same build quality as the main keyboard, and it caught my eye for four reasons and ended up making me purchase the full set as a result:

The numpad has a built in calculator.

Same aesthetic choices as the main keyboard (NES, Famicom, IBM Model M, Commodore 64)

Magnetically attaches to the right side of the keyboard to transform it into a more era appropriate full-size.

Far and away the cheapest wireless mechanical numpad with calculator on the market, sitting at $45.

An important note though is that the Famicom and NES keypads don't attach to their respective keyboards, simply because their respective keyboards don't have magnets inside the sides of the chassis to allow for it. I have some cheap button magnets laying around that I'll use for this purpose and probably see if they're strong enough to be placed on the inside of the board and allow for the numpad to connect to it. I also imagine there's going to be a repop or v2 of this keyboard in the future that has this done already, seeing as the Commodore 64 version of the board and I believe the Model M version of the board already have that.

I'll reblog this and give some actual definitive thoughts on the numpad once it's in my hands.

As far as the board itself is concerned, I quite like it. The keycap profile is agreeable, the nostalgia pandering targeted me with laser precision, the board sounds quite good acoustically (especially for being a top-mount keyboard!) and it has a volume knob I'll see if I can reprogram some day. While I normally hate TKL layouts, I'm putting up with it because it will eventually be a fullsize with the numpad. Worth $150 total? Don't know, can't answer that for you, it's worth it to me but I very specifically wanted a keyboard themed after an old Nintendo console with no setup required and no chasing down or commissioning GMK keycap sets. I also wanted a calculator numpad.

How are you able to maintain all the muscle in your arms, leg, rest of your body etc, but still keep the extra fat? I’ve always been quite interested in this method of gaining

honestly… not to assume this is what you think, but there are people that believe there is like this trade off between fat and muscle, that just is not true at all. Fat does not turn into muscle, nor vice versa.

For my boyfriend he is actively cutting rn, so he counting his macros, measuring his protein, and eating at a calorie deficit. Keeping up with his protein intake will help at least maintain his muscle mass. For him what this looks like is eating a lot of protein, preferably leaner meats and then protein drinks and then making sure he does not exceed “X” amount of calories. Because it’s the calories that really stacks ups and gets stored into fat.

Now for me, I actually don’t count my protein intake, but I eat a fuck ton because it tends to be more than my boyfriend consumes, but in addition, I eat a fuck ton more calories than he does and really carb up as well. For me, I try to aim to at least consume 4000 calories a day, sometimes way more, so I’m usually calculating to see how much calories this and that are before I even eat. 3,500 calories = 1 lb of fat, so I figured I have to eat mooore than that to continue gaining weight everyday. I actually probably could go heavier lifting upper body wise, but I’m more focused on growing my legs these days, aside from gaining more and more fat.

Hope this kind of makes, I probably could’ve worded some stuff better.
