    Wait what? No. Not 500 less than your BMR. That should be 500 less than your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure)

    If I ate 500 less than my BMR I'd be on 900 calories a day. :laugh:

    I'll try to find that, but finding a hiking trail in Paris would be a real miracle haha
    But I can always run on the streets and climb up stairs, that seem like an alternative ! :)

    You could take the Métro to Abbesses, then walk the stairs up from the station to ground level, and then up the stairs to Sacré-Cœur. That would be a good workout. Or go to Buttes-Chaumont and walk around the park. For that matter, if you enter Père-Lachaise on the Boulevard de Ménilmontant and then walk westward, you'll get a good workout.

    (I'm not sure whether you're French or an expat. If you're French, a tip: "to lose" = perdre, or in this context, "to lose weight" = maigrir ; "to loose" = relâcher or lâcher.)

    Hello hello !
    I turn to you all to maybe get some advice, or just some motivation.

    I'm an 18 years old girl, 5'3, 140 lb. and wish to loose 20 lb.
    I do HIIT and weight lifting 3 times a week, as for the other days, I walk around campus, and do not have time and energy to workout. I eat around 1500 cals a day, you can normally see my diary.
    I think I eat fairly clean, except maybe on thursday, where I have to eat on campus, and I have usually fries for lunch, but consider it my cheat meal of the week. I eat mainly veggies, fruits, fish, occasional red meat ( I do not really love it, but I am not a fan of cutting any food group ) and lean meats.

    Yet, I CANNOT seem to loose weight. I've even put on 3 pounds lately, and I wish I knew why ...

    So I thought maybe one of you would have an idea, or had an advice.
    Maybe I can put a "progress" picture, because weight lifting starts working if you want to see what my body looks like !

    1500 cals is probably too much! When i was on a cut last year i was on 1800 cals but i am 200lbs :)

    Also keep any carbs until late in the day. Your body is in fat burning mode when you wake up in the morning, as soon as you eat carbs like oats or cereal etc your body starts using carbs.

    Also fruit is a no no if you are trying to burn fat, fructose is not your friend. Still to complex carbs like oats, wholemeal etc keep the sugars out the diet.

    Pleaae ignore this. None of it is correct. Your body doesn't care when you feed it or how many times a day you feed it as long as you actually DO feed it.

    Here's another great post for you:
