    This might not fall in the same line as what some of you have posted. I don't really have any physical items to report. I need to start though. I average about 8,000 steps a day or so my phone says, but I don't always have it on me while at home.

    The things I do have to report, and I can't believe some of them:
    For the last month (the time I have been on this WOE):
    No soft drinks. Not even diet. Not even tea.
    Maybe 4 cups of coffee.
    Only 4 shots of bourbon.
    No bread, no pasta, no rice, no fried foods with white flour, no potatoes, no fruit.
    Eating tons of veggies.
    Ate breakfast and lunch everyday which I didn't always do.
    NO SWEETS AT ALL, UNLESS KETO APPROVED!

    I just looked at my steps on my phone. Over 10,000 steps for me. I didn't know. Wow.

    How do steps equate to calories burned because I am just walking at work and around the house or store, not really getting heart rate up?

    Is there a better app for steps and calories burned? Thanks

    People may disagree but the steps you take to the store count as part of your daily activity.

    I find purposeful exercise to be the calories I count. For example a run, hike, or lifting session.

    As for the calorie you burn when you do your daily steps, they should be factored into your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure)

    Eat less than your TDEE to lose weight.

    Missed riding my trike yesterday because of weather. Otherwise, met all goals.
