    edited January 16 in Health and Weight Loss
    I looked around but didn't find any threads explaining all the common abbreviations used in posts. Things like TTTD and.... Actually I can't even remember what the abbreviations were... Anyone care to help this noob out? Thanks!

      TDEE is total daily energy expenditure.
      BMR is basal metabolic rate
      RMR is resting metabolic rate
      NEAT is non-exercise activity thermogenesis
      TL;DL is too long didn't read
      LOL is laugh out loud... etc.

      Basically, if I don't know what it means, I google it.

      I think you mean TDEE (total daily energy expenditure). That's how many calories you burn in a day of being you (work, cooking, walking the dog, excercise, etc.)

      One of the best that you will see...NSV - non scale victory.

      IF- Intermittent Fasting
      ADF- Alternate Day Fasting
      SW- starting weight
      CW- current weight
      GW or UGW- goal or ultimate goal weight
      Bump- means they commented so it would be in their recent topics section so they can easily go back and find it to read for reference or if its long to read so they can find it when they have more time.

      BMI = Body Mass Index. It's useless, but that's what it stands for.
      BF% = Body Fat %.
      TEF = Thermic Effect of Food
      SL = StrongLifts (a strength training program)
      SS = Starting Strength (another strength training program)
      NROL = New Rules Of Lifting
      NROLFW = New Rules Of Lifting For Women


      It seems like there's a few others that I'm drawing a blank on.
