I go to the gym 6 days a week 5 if i cant possibly get there. Im looking for motivated people who go like me and aim to lose around 1000 cals at a time.
Thats 1000 calories per day so im usually in the gym for around 2 hours.

That's a lot of exercise, any particular reason you strive for 1000 exercise calories?
What type of exercise are you doing?3 -
I was thinking about the same - how many calories aday do you eat and what is your weekly average loss?1
-
Ive now put in my stats to an online calculator and its worked out my calories for me so around 1350 i should be eating. After exercicing it says i can eat my calorie plus 1000 extra ive worked off. Ive done a test on both where ive eaten the extra calories and one maintained the calorie goal but found staying in the calorie goal helped lose weight.
Does depen what you eat though.1 -
Exercise wise i do anything from cardio to weights have also noticed that with weights yes my weight does go up but feel more toned.0
-
It would take me far longer than 2 hours in the gym to burn 1000 calories and ib definitely couldn't do it if I was only eating 1350 to start with. Good luck to you though.4

Thanks it actually all depends on the sort of activity you do and the intensity of it, its all achievable just believe in yourselve0

I train six days per week...I don't train for some arbitrary calorie burn12
-
You do realize how unhealthy it is to basically exercise all of the calories you eat off right? That's basically exercise bulimia...14

Let us know how long that ends up being sustainable.4

Rybo ive been doing it so far for 6 months just had a lil break over xmas and new yr1
-
In six months how much weight have you lost?
The other question that I have is how accurately are you tracking your calories?
ETA How do you calculate your calories burned?0 -
So do you suggest eating back the calories you burn off? If so doesnt that just put weight back on?1
-
Ive lost over a stone. And i wear a heart rate monitor.0

I've trained 5-6 days a week for about 1.5-2 hours, but not for a calorie burn. It was heavy lifting with long rest periods, and eating maintenance cals (2600). Still got burned out. Down to 4 days again.1

If I remember correctly a stone is 14lbs. So for six months you have lost .5lb a week. Nothing wrong with that amount but in my head it doesn't match up with the info.
You eat 1350 calories a day minus the 1000 calories you burn which leaves you with 350 calories for bodily functions and everyday living activities. Let's say your BMR is around 1550. 350(available calories) - 1550(BMR) = -1200 (calories that you don't have to nourish your bodily functions just to survive and stay healthy).
Putting all that aside...if you are only netting 350 calories you should have lost way more than a stone.
How are you tracking your calorie intake?4 -

I lift 3x weekly following a non linear undulating periodization scheme. I'm also a cyclist and follow a program laid out by my coach to make me a better cyclists...some rides are long, some rides are shorter high intensity rides...hill repeats...recovery rides....tempo rides, etc. I follow a program designed to improve my fitness and make me a better rider...I train for my fitness and health, not some arbitrary energy expenditure.2 -
When I was losing weight (maintaining now, so I'm not doing this anymore) I did cardio every day for 2 hours, burning about 800 calories per session, eating about 1,400 a day, so netting about 800 intake, which came to about 1,000 calorie or more daily deficit. It was very hard to keep that sort of routine up, but I was extremely determined to lose the weight. I would not recommend anyone to do what I did, but since it was very short term, I do not feel any negative effects from it. I have since readjusted my exercise to about 30-60 minutes about 5 days a week, and eat about 1,500-1,600 calories a day.1

I train to my objectives. Sometimes 200-300 calories, sometimes 2000.
The main thing is a sensible deficit, and my performance improvement.3 -
Hi , i have trained every day (with one or two days off if i have too little time) since beginning of august 2016
I train in my home gym, do Controlled Fatigue Mondays wednesdays & fridays (cardio intervalls followed by strength stamina functional training) takes about 30 - 40 minutes.
Tue & thursdays 20 minutes easy cardio with core & coordination work.
Sat & sun i do pole running (like cross country skiing withiout the skis) for 60 minutes.
I also do intermittant fsating (only eat from 12:30 till 17:00 and i train frist thin in the morning (on an empty stomache.
I don't count calories but eat (in my eating phase) two big meals...basically i eat 2 times a day untill a am full up.
on most days it is probably about 2500 cals.
Training is very intense but short (max 40 minutes) so i am probably olny burnung about 200 - 300 cals through sport.
i was eating more or less the same amount before i started my current training plan and was maintaining my weight (which was around 96 kg) so my calorie deficit is not through cutting down on food but through the training. a calorie deficit of about 300 - 400 cals per day should be enough to give you a constant weight loss over a longer time span.
The big problem with longer training sessions (over 90 minutes) they will "although you burn off lots of cals whilst training" in the long run slow down your metabolism. so by training long sessions and keeping your calorie intake low you are actually teaching your body to stay alive on less energy input.
I personally think that this is not a good idea in the long run if you are training to lose weight.
Somewhat shorter (45 - max 60 minutes) of more intensive training and "up" your protien intake so your calorie deficit is about 400 cals is a better soloution if you want to train 5 - 7 days a week.
This way you will have much more "active" energy burning tissue (muscle, cardio Vascular) which speeds up your metabolism.

Hi even if the calorie count is ok, this training & nutrition will not work on the long run, due to the constant low calories the metsbolism will slow down and block progress.

Hi there! I don't necessarily go with the goal of burning 1000 calories. However, depending on what I do, it can be fairy easy or very difficult, also depending on how much time I want to spend. If I only have an hour to burn (literally, haha...so cheesy) and I want to burn a high amount of calories, I'll just run on the road or a treadmill for an hour. I usually burn between 1000-1100 calories in an hour when I do that. However, burning calories like that without getting in some lifting and protein, you're sure to lose a lot of weight, but it'll be a lot of muscle as well as the fat. It's easy to get stuck into "run, run, run" and burning large amounts of calories because yes, if you're diet is right, you'll lose weight faster and feel much lighter sooner. However, without lifting, you're body composition will hardly change because of all the muscle you're burning as well. I've done it myself...I've lost as 20 pounds and hand almost the same amount of body fat after as I did before, about a 3-4 percent difference. A 20 pound cut in weight should result in a much more significant body fat reduction than that. I mean, you may already be in great shape and maintain a good diet, in which case, none of this matters to you, lol! But if not, just food for thought... Happy training!

No thanks.1

I do typically work out 6 or 7 days a week, sometimes twice a day. I don't go with the goal burning a specific amount of calories. I have three memberships and a classpass so I like to mix it up.1

Does depen what you eat though.
doesnt depend on what you eat it depends on how much you eat. if you eat over your maintenance calories you will gain, if you are in a deficit you will lose. a HRM also is not 100% accurate when it comes to exercise calories burned unless you are doing steady state cardio(biking,swimming,running,etc). it still may not be 100% accurate. if you can eat 1350 and 1000 calories that means you should be eating 2350 calories and when you burn the 1000(if you actually are) you will net the 1350.when you exercise MFP gives you calories back to eat(your deficit is built in before any exercise),so no you wont gain weight because the exercise is putting you into a bigger deficit(which is why they give them back,its to eat them).
if you stay in your deficit yes you will lose the weigh,whether its through eating in a deficit,creating one with exercise or both. and the less you weigh the harder it is to burn 1000 calories. if you lift weights your weight goes up due to water retention to help repair your muscles.its not actual fat weight. so yes I would say eat those calories back and wait a several weeks to see where you are(if you are losing,gaining or maintaining),Then adjust from there. netting too low of calories is not good. you need to fuel your workouts and your body after those workouts.4 -

A calorie deficit of about 300 - 400 per day would be better in my opinion
I was hoping that she would see that if her numbers are correct she is leaving her body very little to function with. IDK...I would guess that her calorie counting is not correct because I don't think anyone could survive for 6 months with those kind of numbers.
If her CICO is correct she will do more harm than just slowing down her metabolism.1 -

I think dfc is saying that she should not be trying to go with a 1000 calorie burns and should aim for a smaller deficit of about 300-400 a day. now if she is really burning 1000 calories she should either either 2350 or eat that 1000 calories back. or she can burn less with less exercise(more is not always better).1 -

Yes that is exactly what i am saying, for halthy weight los this is deficit & training is too much0 -
I ride a bike 18-21 miles 7 days a week in 60 min and hit the gym six days a week for weights but I eat at or above my TDEE1
-
I couldn't eat enough to sustain that since I eat all my exercise calories to support my training.0
