    I'm a successful loser, and MFP user. I recognize myself in that list. High fives to me for recognizing the legit info versus the BS you read on MFP.

    Habit #2 is especially important. If your cut is not going as planned, you need the data to reference back to so you can troubleshoot what went wrong.

    They still seemed to get in the weeds there. A line item for cereals? But, it is HuffPost and at least they're talking calorie counting and eating enough

    19% protein??

    Agree with the always logging, even the bad days. Going by a weekly deficit gives me the ability to balance out the bad bad days!

    Meal planning is essential.

    Anyone feel that the 1800 - 1900 calories for men (on average I assume) a little low?

    I believe it's the base (sans exercise) and is a statistic average, which includes all the dudes doing 1200 calories for some reason (just because people seem to like that number).
