I see so many threads during this time of year about fat burners, eating in a caloric deficit and adding cardio to one's training program - all because people are trying to reduce their bodyfat to have visible abs on the beach, or by the pool. The harsh reality that people need to comprehend, however, is that if one followed an intense training program as well as employed science-based performance nutrition, then one would maintain visible abdominals and low bodyfat year round while gaining muscle consistently. Aspiring bodybuilders find themselves with high levels of bodyfat because they have followed absurd diet plans that insist on 1 gram of protein per 1lb of bodyweight and over 3,000 calories per day just to gain muscle. There is no scientific evidence stating that any protein intake beyond 1 gram per 2.2lbs in the extremely experienced strength/weightlifting athlete has any greater effect on muscle building. The only anecdotal evidence that exists in regards to the efficacy of such nutritional regimens is a demographic of people that use cocktails of anabolic steroids, growth peptides and insulin. The average bodybuilder can gain massive amounts of lean muscle on a 2,000 calorie per day meal plan with 1 gram of protein per 3-4lbs of bodyweight. This will prevent excess macronutrient storage in the form of lipids and maintain a lean, aesthetic physique year round without months of uncomfortable caloric deficits and exogenous chemicals that have unpleasant side effects.

If you knew how to train the 3 energy systems you should know you wouldn't need "cardio" to burn fat. I guess you're "Masters" degree never tapped into the real world of, as you put it..."Cutting Edge" training.
