    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.

    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!

    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"

    Do you eat your workout calories back? - no not usually

    Do you eat the whole egg or just the egg whites? - whole egg

    Should i weigh myself every day? - if it helps then yes but if it knocks you then no - Once a week or once every 2 weeks is probably better.

    Why can't i lose weight even when i am eating under 1000cal a day? - because you aren't eating enough. You need to eat your allocation or this won't work.

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

    Good luck - H x

    Do you eat the whole egg or just the egg whites? Yes, I usually make scrabled egg with 1 whole egg and 1 egg white.

    Should i weigh myself every day? No, it would make me crazy, as weight naturally flucuates...why obcess.

    Do i have to log everything? Yes, otherwise your just cheating yourself.

    Disclaimer: These responses are based on me and my expereinces, everyone is a little different. You should experiement and see what works for you.

    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?

    Do you eat your workout calories back?
    Most of the time I do, though I'm never sure how much I really burn.
    Do you eat the whole egg or just the egg whites?
    I'm not a big fan of eggs so only eat them occasionally. I usually eat the whole egg, but I like an egg white omelette or frittata occasionally
    Should i weigh myself every day?
    You can if you want, but you should expect fluctuations up and down when weighing that often.
    Why can't i lose weight even when i am eating under 1000cal a day?
    A man eating under 1000 cal a day and not losing?? See a doctor!
    Do i have to log everything?
    You don't have to log anything. But if you want to keep track of your total intake, then it's probably best to log everything.

    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 successful
