When i go out and eat a dinner or buffet or a party i can gain 6 pounds overnight....And for sure i dont eat 6x3500 above my maintenance level
It is all water weight....other food/salty foods etc. You lose this very quickly most people in the following days. For me it takes about a week like the last time. lol But i lose a bit more.
27th of july to 28th i had a party, gained 6.6 pounds overnight.
Lost it all by the 4th of August plus a pound more.
as long as you dont eat 3500 SURPLUS, so above maintenance.. than you didn't really gain weight/fat. Just a major fluctuation which is normal.
Take a deep breath and move on you lose it quick

Yeah great idea, I get so confused about all these technical terms and I am so impatient! It seems such a long process getting to goal and I am beginning to get bored so I keep trying different weight loss ideas, which is really not helping but I can't help it! I'm actually beginning to get on my own nerves0

You didn't put on the weight quickly, you won't lose it quickly. Often times the simple solution is the easiest. Don't clutter your brain with outliers. Consume less than you expend, while eating a balanced and varied diet and you will be healthy, happy, and will progressively drop pounds. It really is that easy.0 -
Oh my goodness Curlyblue, you sound like someone I know. ME!0

Here's my problem with bmr...it doesn't take into account metabolic rates. (Which are HUGELY different for different people.)

If your TDEE is estimated right now at 1896 and you want to lose 2 lbs per week, math says you need to increase your TDEE to 2200 every day and eat 1200.2009jewellz wrote: »Anyone else with the understanding of BMR and TDEE?
This however might not be advisable depending upon many factors.
Since your BMR is estimated at 1496, it's likely you'll be very hungry if you eat an average of 1200 per day, so that is probably too low of a calorie goal. But it depends on other factors too.
What is it you want to know about BMR and TDEE?

None of the advice given so far will matter if you calculated your TDEE wrong. Another factor will be the accuracy od weighing foods and logging calories.
What is your height, weight, age, gender, activity level, and bodyfat % so we can double-check your work?
You can get a basic idea of bodyfat % by using google images.
Activity Level:
Sedentary: desk job; couch potato, little or no exercise, or very inconsistent with exercise
Lightly Active: light exercise/sports 2-3 days/week
Moderately Active: moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week
Very Active: hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week
Extra Active: athletes, very hard exercise/sports, demanding physical job0 -

I show your BMR about 1641 kcal... your TDEE @ sedentary to be 1805 kcal. If you increase your activity to lightly active your TDEE goes to 2021 kcal.
If you wish to lose fat you need to eat below your TDEE, OR eat at your TDEE and create the deficit by exercise, like cardio and weight training.0 -

No. TDEE includes exercise. If you changed TDEE to NEAT, your statement would make sense. But, as someone said a few posts ago, there is no need to get caught up in this alphabet soup. Estimate how many calories you burn (TDEE). Eat less than that. Lose weight. It's that simple.0 -
So most of the numbers people are giving are in the same ballpark. It sounds like if you add a couple miles of walking per day to bring your TDEE to about 2100 (and stay active by taking the stairs, shopping, gardening, etc.) and then eat 1500-1600* calories per day, that would equal about a pound per week loss at first. (If you are sedentary and don't exercise, then 1300-1400 would maybe make more sense.)
*But you'll need to recalibrate this number as you lose weight. Also, this is a flat 1600 per day. Sometimes people add back in more calories when they exercise. I don't know if you're interested in that or not. Also, this assumes you're accurate with your intake. A lot of people underestimate the calories they're eating. I suggest weighing food on a digital scale to be the most accurate.0 -

Your reading comprehension is not my problem. TDEE= total daily energy expenditure. I never stated it was anything other than that. Including exercise, so not sure how you came to your statement. Perhaps re read my post then give an intelligent response before making silly comments.0
