    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)...

    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.
    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.

    Wow, that's a nasty reply. I think you misunderstand what kinesiology is.

    ki·ne·si·ol·o·gy (k-ns-l-j, -z-)n.
    1. The study of the anatomy, physiology, and mechanics of body movement, especially in humans.
    2. The application of the principles of kinesiology to the evaluation and treatment of muscular imbalance or derangement.anywhere you go to school for

    any sort of physical training, physical therapy, etc., you will have to take kinesiology.

    you're talking about "Applied Kinesiology" ~~> kinesiology "should not be confused with applied kinesiology, a controversial chiropractic diagnostic method.

    Fukarounditis: (Taken from LeanGains.com and quoted well at MD.com.)

    2mkb.jpg


    ****arounditis is a behavioral disorder characterized by a mediocre physique and complete lack of progress, despite significant amounts of time spent in the gym.

    ****arounditis most commonly manifests itself as an intense preoccupation with crunches, curls, cable movements, belts, gloves, balance boards, Swiss Balls and Tyler Durden. Fear of squats and deadlifts is another distinguishing trait. Physical exertion is either completely lacking or misapplied (towards questionable or unproductive training practices).
    Despite an alarming increase of ****arounditis in recent years, prevalance may vary greatly depending on location. However, in most commercial gyms, it has been estimated that 90-100% of individuals are afflicted to varying degrees.
    Environment and social networks are crucial factors for triggering the disease. It has been proposed that the roots of the disease stems from misinformation and counterproductive training advice found in popular media ("fitness magazines") and information hubs on the Internet.
    Human nature and the so-called "laziness", "magic bullet" and "complacency" genes plays a permissive role for allowing the disease to take hold.
    The disease spreads rapidly, as carriers of the disease communicate with other individuals in locker rooms, Internet discussion forums and other arenas of interaction and information exchange in real life or otherwise.
    The onset of symptoms typically occurs in young adulthood and may go undiagnosed for a lifetime. Diagnosis is set by a professional and based on observed behaviors and physique progress.

    The Scale /skāl/

    A method of measuring one's total body weight that isn't nearly as important as you may think it is. It's good for distinguishing overall trends, but on a day to day basis, it will just cause you frustration and grief.

    Love it! Lol

    Is there a difference between a cal and a kcal?
    Not in terms of nutrition. If something is say 100 kcal, it's also 100 calories.

    As far as I know in the US, it's actually calories listed on nutrition labels, unless it's cat food. That's listed in kcals and you have to do the math. Lucky for me my cats aren't counting calories lol
