    This thread is super long, so I'm sure someone else has responded. But this is almost 1000 calories MORE per day, even in the Extreme category than MFP gives me. I "get it" though and have read so much on fitness and nutrition my eyes go crossed, you'd think I'd be super healthy! HA! Anyway, I haven't lost a lb on here in about 5 months. I very rarely go over my calories. I stay EXACTLY the same, doesn't matter if I eat healthy or crappy, it stays the same. I've changed up exercise from a lot of cardio to weight training, and then a mix of both and still nothing. SO, I can't think any harm would be done by doing this! Well, at least for me! If anyone has any thoughts....send me a message!!!


    I'm right there with ya, 5 weeks now for me. But this has been an ongoing thing for me for years, I eat very good and workout and never see the results. I look like I eat cake and sit on the couch. I hate the argument calories in and calories out will show what you've been doing- it's a bunch of crap for me at least!

    Do you add exercise calories to the amounts of calories to eat each day with the zig zag diet or do the amounts given take into consideration your estimated exercise calories?

    No, I don't add nor eat any other calories on top of what it is already calculated on the zig-zag schedule. Hope that helps!

    This answers the question I posted yesterday -- it has calories at 300 cals less per day than the Katch-McArdle calculations, which weren't working for me! This will be tough, but I am going to give it a try!

    I calculate it with exercise (3 times a week in my case). This gives you your TDEE.

    In that case, the exercise calories are already included, so you would not eat them back.

    EXACTLY :)

    Whoa nelly. I ran the calculator, and even with daily exercise, it wants me to take my intake all the way down to 890 on the low day.

    This is telling me that for extreme weight loss I have to only eat 1048 calories a day. That goes against everything that I"v read here on MFP. The most calories I can eat on one of the days is 1258. I think I'm going to try this but I may starve to death in the process!
