    I am still a tiny bit confused on TDEE and BMR but now I understand much more...I just don't understand how that site http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/ could say I need to eat about 1,642 calories based on my info...I am currently allowing myselg only 1300 calories (although I have been going over to closer to 1400 cals). Does anyone know if it is actually better to eat a bit more? I am having no progress at all and have switched up the calories and exercise. It has been the whole month of August and I haven't made the scale budge (or felt a difference in my pants/clothes)...

    Are you also eating back your exercise calories at all? Sometimes to lose weight, you have to eat more. It's a crazy concept, but it works! :bigsmile:

    Your take on Intermittent Fasting?

    If this is too broad just define the basics for everyone and leave it at that.
    There are a few that do it here and are getting good results. I do it on a small scale, about a 13 hour fast before eating.

    Large deficits can cause hormonal imbalances that can in turn lead to more water retention, among other things. IMO - eat to what the calculations say you should eat to.

    How much of difference can one see eating free range vs grain fed?
    It's usually going to be in the fat content. Grain fed animals are usually more fatty, then grass fed animals. As far as nutrition, I haven't read any peer reviewed scientific study stating one is better over the other.

    Is it true you should mix up your protein sources because your body can get too used to digesting X protein over Y.
    Since all proteins are just amino acids chained a specific way together, there are protein sources that lack certain amino acids compared to others.
    IMO, you should find protein sources that ensure you get in the essential proteins (proteins that can't be created by the body) and as many others in as possible.
    Personally I haven't found anything to support that you need to mix up your protein sources because of the body getting used to them. All proteins are broken down to amino acids and absorbed the same way.

    One of the body's first reactions to consistent large calorie deficit is a lowered metabolic rate. This is why many who under eat have issues with slow/creeping weight loss.
