I don't see why i would eat more. The point of weight loss is to eat less calories.
And why log everything it's not like anyone will know.0 -
Do you eat your workout calories back?
- Yes, up to 15-20% of my TDEE. Typically once I hit that 15% mark, I leave it for the day, and so sometimes finish lower than MFP expects, but it works for me.
Do you eat the whole egg or just the egg whites?
- Whole egg
Should i weigh myself every day?
- I don't - I do it weekly (scales) and I take waist/neck/hips measurements once a month.
Why can't i lose weight even when i am eating under 1000cal a day?
- You need to eat AT LEAST as much as your typical Basal Metabolic Rate (the cals you burn just to function). Google/read up on it and perhaps up your cals - as weird it sounds sometimes you have to eat more to burn consistently.
Do i have to log everything?
- I do, because I am now much more aware of how much I was packing away. If you are using a calorie logging system to HELP in your weight loss goals, then... umm... YES!0 -

During my weight loss journey I have experienced some ups and downs. It's been a rocky road, I've been hungry for over a year and lost most of my b00bies, but in the end, I am thankful for my thigh gap.
So I leave you all with these words of wisdom, "I get knocked down, but I get up again, you're never going to keep me down. P!ssing the night away"0 -

Do i have to log everything? - absolutely everything or how else do you know how many cals etc.. you have left????

But if you don't eat enough your body responds by storing fat - hence gaining weight
YOU WILL KNOW - how can you be accountable to yourself and know how many calories you are actually consuming and burning if you don't?0 -

Do you eat your workout calories back? Not most of the time... some weekends I work out because I know there will be a party or something and I want a beer or two
Do you eat the whole egg or just the egg whites? Both ways... It depends on my mood
Should i weigh myself every day? I do so I can gauge my flux in weights throughout the week. I don't log it every day
Why can't i lose weight even when i am eating under 1000cal a day? You are not eating enough. This is why I got a fitbit to see what I'm actually burning in a day. I went from eating 1500 to 1700 to 2000 now I can see on work out days I should be more like 2200-2400... maybe my body was starving
Do i have to log everything? If you want to be successful0 -
