    is this a structured lifting regimen you are following? What constitutes this "very heavy" lifting regimen...

    I'm a trainer I have my own way of structuring it..my workouts are intense, they don't need the tweaking, I just need help with the calorie setting

    eating clean ie or smart simply means avoiding any and all products that are high in fat, sodium or refined sugar. I should have corrected my statement earlier, instead of no salt, no sugar, it should have read low salt, low sugar. my apologies.

    which is totally unnecessary for any weight loss goal. ...

    you've got to be kidding. you want to be healthy don't you?

    yes, and sugar can be a part of an overall healthy diet where one hits calorie targets and meets macros and micros. No need to avoid it or eliminate it.

    Soy sauce is NOTORIOUS for water retention. Cut back on it and see what happens. Also with only less than 10lbs to lose, your goal should be only .25lbs a week or so.

    It wasn't a put down. It does concern me that you're training people without thoroughly knowing some of the fundamentals a trainer should know about human physiology.

    well u shouldn't be personally concerned

    if you are "very toned and fit" why are you trying to lose another ten pounds? Maybe you should focus on recomping...

    I said to eat in maintenance and lift weights to build muscle and lose fat/get leaner. its a slow process. thats when you said that 1100-1400 was not your maintenance. not being rude here but you should know what a recomp is.

    Someone sent this to me..TDEE for Sedentary is around1600 and for lightly active is 1850 that's not taking into account exercise so personally if I was you I would aim for 1400-1500 per day and log your exercise, eat half the cals back and see where you are in a month. It might seem like slow progress but you're already at the top end of the "Normal" BMI range for your height so you probably don't have too much to lose.

    For those on this post this is the other thread OP is referring to.. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/38918808#Comment_38918808

    I feel like the last 2 pages are a re-run of yesterday pretty much doh!
