After reading this and really looking at it this might work for me. I would miss logging my daily exercise calories burned because I like how it looks but It hink I've been obsessing too much on that.
I created a group for anyone that is doing zig zagging with hypothyroidsim so we can support each other. (if you don't have hypo you are welcome to join too!)
here is the group.

Oh that's wonderful, thanks!0 -
Do you track protein, carbs and fat as well, or simply calories?0

I would like to try this. I do have one question about the zig zagging, since I do not know how many times I will exercise in a week, can I set my chart to desk job no exercise, and then eat back by exercise calories on the days I do workout?
Thanks for your help.
In theory it should work. Give it a try and let us know!0 -

Thanks for this!
I stumbled upon a simplified version, and it said (for example) if the usual daily goal is 1600 calories, then Mondays you eat 1800, Wednesday (and the other days not mentioned) you eat 1600, and Fridays you eat 1400. I love the calculator because it varies things a bit more and you get a daily breakdown rather than very loose guidelines.0 -
An easier way to do this would be. 1. Get a pen and paper, write down the zigzag plan you have been given. 2 only eat what the plan tells you no more no less. 3 forget about using mfp to log exercise, the plan you wrote down will already have accounted for it. 4 Use mfp mealy as a tool to track/meet the daily calorie requirements set out in the zig zag plan. How hard can it be really :laugh:0

I did this when I was stuck in the 130's and it got me back in the high 120's and then I ate my normal calories and kept losing. It was great when my weight got stuck. Now, I am hovering between 124.8 and 125.4, I will probably try again now that it has been a while. I ate high fiber and protein and overall just very healthy during that time (and I still do). I also drank about 10 cups of water per day, and ate dinner before 6 (personal preference).0

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!
Make sure you are doing the calculations right, unless your stats are really low already (like if you are really short and lean) it doesn't sound exactly right to be so low.0 -
If what I had read on a site somewhere different than this one, it's good to do everyday to keep you from stalling out. I thought about just haven't done it yet0
