    I will just go on the treadmill for 60-90 minutes and burn close to 1500 calories.
    Damn someone get me this treadmill.. I'm lucky to burn 300 calories going uphill walking at top speed. How is it even possible to burn that much?

    Speed 4.3, 15.0 Incline try it!
    I usally jog (6.0-6.5) for the first 20 mins then reduce speed to 4.3 and increase incline to 15.0%

    Also, how do you only burn 300 cals going uphill at top speed what is your top speed? How long you going for?

    One more thing, the heavier you are the more calories will be burnt. If you are say 160 and I am 260 I will burn alot more calories doing the same amoount of activity being I have more weight to move :)

    MFP recommends 2160 calories for me and i am now 210 lbs 5'9 body fat (according to fat2fit) 19.9%. Started at 250 lbs about 27% BF. When I started I was reccomended at around 2300 Calories. So based on that i say give it two weeks of staying within Macros and adjust from there.

    Really 19.9% body fat at 210 and 5'9? I am 5'9.5 and 185 and comparring to pictures online I am around 25% body fat

    Yeah I am pretty sure it is way off but just tracking that way to see how much Body fat is coming off according to one source.

    I do have a big frame but I am really sure I am not under 20%.

    sounds about right! Enjoy it! you are luck!y! This is not a website that utilizes fad diets its based on science. That's what makes it successful.Stay at this number and the weight WILL come off!

    Oh, damn, I knew that once. Thanks for the reminder. With a BMR that high then, I can see why my intake is so high.

    Now to work on selecting the RIGHT foods. Somehow I don't think I'll have much success if I eat 2200 calories worth of McDonalds every day.

    McDonald's is fine in moderation. dont cut out the foods you love because you're on a "diet". If you are still in a caloric deficit then by all means, have some McDonald's!!!
