    OP is impervious to advice, hence the same questions get asked again and again. I thought her username sounded familiar so I dug this up:

    Wow. Just wow.

    It's nice to know that those of us that don't know everything can feel safe asking a question, without being made to feel ignorant.

    The people that know "everything" aka "know-it-alls", really don't know much at all. They just like to go on and on. I will ask any question I please and if i feel i need it answered more than once or twice I will ask whoever and whatever I feel like. Period.

    Feel free to whine about my posts. By all means - go right ahead.

    except you ask, get great answers... don't like them... and keep asking. If you don't like answers from people that try to help, why do you keep asking?

    If people want to help, that's one thing. If they just want to post comments that ridicule others, that's another. We really should feel, if we don't know or understand something, able to ask. Just saying. I know, I've had questions, but haven't felt the desire to be made fun of, so I google it instead.
    When you start MFP, there's a lot of information here, and it takes time to find what works for each person. I thought we were on this journey together. Aren't we here for support?

    Nobody said you couldn't ask. But some of us have been here long enough answering these questions that it is nice to get a heads up that your answers will not be heard, and that the advice will not sink in.

    And no. We are not on any journey together, and we are not all here for support. This isn't even the right forum for that.

    It's not about liking or not liking the answers. It's about what I can agree with and disagree with. There are always conflicting answers and I always want to sift through it all and weigh the facts with the BS and see what i come up with, therefore, asking questions again.

    Pretty sure I only asked about what activity level to choose for figuring out TDEE once before when i was more active with work and then now again because im not as active with work and ive basically cut cardio out to focus on SL 5x5. So techinically this is a different question.

    You have been given the reading material to answer the question. The fact that you don't do what is necessary to help yourself, and instead rely on strangers to do the work for you, tells many of us all we need to know about your chances for success. As I said before, we need bad examples as a warning to others. Congratulations for finding your purpose.

    Well where in the hell is the reading material when i need it NOW? Maybe you could have posted it in this thread long ago so i coulda seen it and read it then no one else woulda had to post in here. It coulda been all done in that one post by you posting the reading material.
    Btw - i am success. I am in progress of building a better body. Not a better body than anyone lese but a better body for me. And that my friend is success. Have a nice day.

    OP, in addition to being unwilling and/or unable to do any research on your own, you also only listen to the things you already want to hear. If that's what you are after, just use the Google machine, and look for sites that support what you already believe. The internet is pretty good for that. I would point out that one does not get any smarter or wiser by only taking in what one already believes, but that would fall on deaf ears.

    Here try this to figure out your TDEE

    (Calories consumed+weight lost x 3500)/number of days=TDEE

    For example

    your daily intake is lets say 1500 and you have lost 5lbs in 5 weeks. Got it?

    (1500 x 35)=52500 Calories consumed+5*3500=17500 (weight lost in Calories)
    52500+17500=70000/35=2000

    2000 is your actual TDEE without guessing at activity level.

    I think he's talking about the combination of A) the 1000s of posts already made on this topic (and most of the other things you ask about), and B) all your previous posts.

    There is no 1 link/post/webpage that will answer every question anyone could ever have, but 99% of those questions have already been asked and answered. Most of them several times over. It's up to you to find them and educate yourself.

    I wish i could do that. I don't seem to lose weight though. Body is staying around 150-155lb. Eating 1200. Eating 1500. Eating 1700 and lifting heavy now. I guess i will just screw it and keep on eating healthy and logging and working out. The hell with it.

    If you don't stick with one thing long enough, you will never eliminate enough variables to know what is and isn't working. You seem to feel the need to change something every week or 2. Pick something and ride it out. Adjust as needed.

    This. If you look for quick fixes, you will quickly be disappointed.

    Yup! That's exactly why ive been doing StrongLifts for the last month and making sure i eat at a deficit 6 out of the days a week. Calories fluctuate day-to-day but at the end of the week, still a deficit. At least I think so...... sometimes i think i should be eating 1200cals MAX because i have T1 diabetes and hypothyroid.

    whoa whoa whoa.... you said that you've been doing stronglifts for a month. 3 weeks ago, you were asking questions about it, and everyone learned that you weren't doing the program the way you should. then 2 weeks ago, you were asking about stronglifts vs. beachbody then some random crap about being Canadian and processed food.

    Seconded. My TDEE is massively variable and I don't know what I'd do without my fitbit. Probably make endless threads asking people how to figure out my TDEE.
