Why you gain weight if you eat more than your cut

Thanks
Yup!
Is it that simple? Really? I have often wondered why I was sooo hungry some days and can barely eat all of those calories. This probably explains my issues.0 -

It's not really that much, just a lot different than most attack weight loss with.
The mantra of eat less and move more is usually taken to extreme.
It should be eat a little less and move a little more, lifting preferred.
But the problem is making wholesale changes to the diet, so no idea how much used to be eaten, and the new "healthy" eating method is an extreme amount less.
And then exercise is inspired at an extreme level compared to before.
That combo is trouble eventually. So the issues come from getting body out of the state it's gotten in to.
And getting some estimates as to where to eat at with usually a big change in routine.0 -
Hi... this approach is really intriguing to me. I am 190 #'s and want to lose 45 #'s. I lift, I jog, I use some at home HITT exercise videos that are 20-45 minutes and make sure to do total body and core in alternating days. I have tracked my calories anywhere between 1800-2200. My BMR is supposed to be around 1620 cal, but my TDEE on days when I really sweat is near 2500! Wow! Is that right? I am so confused as to where my intake should actually be... I have not lost a single pound over the course of 3 months of eating right and exercising. I thought lifting would help, but I gained and then stayed gained. How do I remedy this? How do I use MFP to actually calculate if I am 20% below my TDEE on days when I exercise? Do I just adjust it everyday? Or do I set my goal at something like 2010 calories and then eat back my exercise calories...? Thanx in advance for any advice!!!0

What are stickies.0

At the top of every group, there are topics that always remain there because they are "stuck", or pinned, or whatever to always be at the top.
True of almost any forum on the internet.
You are supposed to read those first for common questions answered, advice, rules, ect.
You are commenting in a sticky right now, to start your own specific topic if no questions about this topic specifically, or to read other more recent ones, you'd actually need to scroll down the page.0 -

mrsbigmack - I just wanted to thank you for sharing this. I'm just starting my weight loss journey but this will be important when I reach my goal + those 5lbs to account for the glycogen stores.0

I too am in the beginning of my journey.0

Are you drinking enough water? Pop and juices high in fructose and sugar can dehydrate you and turn into water weight gain off the bat.
Have you been keeping track of your body measurements?
My question is can I see your diary maybe we can figure it out?0
