    Ok.....so you have no real desire to work out...but still want to lose weight.....ok......if you'd rather live a sedentary lifestyle, fine....I guess the bigger question is this.....why are you only eating 1200 calories when you weigh 212 lbs?


    I didn't say I'd rather have a sedentary lifestyle - its actually quite the opposite.

    I said i have been coming in right at 1200 - for my weight loss goal MFP gives me a cap of 1370 so 1200 isn't that much lower.

    Before this week i was eating 1200 calories and feeling full and fine. Anything more than that and I would've been eating just to eat and to take in more calories.


    If i am satisfied at 1200 calories but exercise and burn 400 i need to consume 1600.

    I get the logic of why, its just that now exercising has become something that
    1.) i WANT to do
    2.) if i do it I HAVE TO EAT FOOD I DON'T WANT just to get back to a net of 1200

    add 50g of nuts. that will cover your 400 exercise cals, and give you some healthy fats and protein, without you having to stuff yourself just to get the cals in.

    Think of daily exercise as mandatory in life if you actually want to live longer and with inproved quality as well than the statistically shorter life you will live with more medical issues without it.
