Need Help Finding True TDEE
In 2018 I attempted to go straight to the cut phase after consuming what I now know was less than my BMR and being sedentary for some time. I did eventually up my calories but I have gained a significant amount of weight so I’ve come to the realization that I wasn’t eating enough calories AND I need to do a metabolism…

When to eat breakfast? What to eat?
My gym time is 5:30am for 45 mins each day. I don’t know if I should be eating breakfast prior or following my work out (Cardio for 30 mins followed by weights for 15 mins) or really what I should be eating?

I don't understand how MFP comes up with estimates
I'm not real great at logging every day since I literally eat almost the same thing every day. I buy and make the same thing. I realize it's boring, but I'm finding that my health conditions there are certain foods I can't eat. But at any rate, how is MFP coming up with numbers when it says "if every day were like this,…

Late night thought
I feel like I’ve tried every diet in the book recently (kind of an exaggeration) and nothing works because I can’t sustain it. I recently tried Keto, but I didn’t know how if I could keep it up long term and decided I just needed structure to my eating to keep me from overeating. I like SparkPeople because they have meal…

Relearning portion sizes
5 weeks back on track towards my weight goals, and for two meals in a row, I am surprised how generous realistic portions appear to me now. Last night, I planned on two servings of homemade spaghetti with meat sauce, but stopped at one serving when I saw how much food that really was. And again today, for lunch, I am…

Help figure out my activity level/TDEE
Trying to recalculate my TDEE. I'm female, 33, 5'3", 165lbs This time last year I was at the gym 5-6 days a week, swimming or lifting weights. Step count averaged 4-8k. I was eating 1800 calories. The scale was staying about the same, but I dropped 2 full jean sizes over about 6 months. Then I fell off the wagon. I haven't…

Thought I was eating TDEE but loosing weight.
So I thought I was eating my TDEE of around 2150, but have been doing so for a couple of weeks and am loosing weight. I have just started this (two weeks ago).

Love the idea of my new diet being "eat more"
Hi everyone, I have been reading through the threads here and seeing how this eating more thing is working/not working for people.

Asking for Clarification
So, I'm just trying to figure this out... My TDEE is 2110 and my BMR is 1535. I use a Fitbit. I'm starting with the reset, so eating my TDEE. As long as my exercise calories are not more than the difference between TDEE and BMR (500ish), I DON'T eat them back, right? For example, if my exercise calories are 400 for the…

Now before you crap at the cost of this per pint, $4.99, remember all the Blizzards and Coldstone Creamery trips you've made and spent that much on a Mini or Like It size concoction. This was in the Health Food section at our local…

Adjusting BMR?
Hey everyone, quick question. As we lose weight our BMR changes, lowering the amount of calories overall we should eat in a day. My question is how often has everyone been adjusting for BMR and TDEE changes? It seems like there could be a little leeway here so I am just hoping to get some feedback since many of you have…

Confused but hoping I understand correctly.
I have been doing workouts that include weight lifting 3-4 days a week and walking a half hour a day most days of the week. I have been eating around1700-2000 calories a day which is higher than my trainer recommends but I have often questioned her knowledge of TDEE and BMR. She wants me to eat 1500 calories but I would be…

Newbie Questions
Hi everyone - I just found EM2WL about a month ago and dove in head first. In 2013 I went from 196 lbs to 165 lbs in about 6 months doing the Paleo diet and nothing else but walking. It's been 4 years and I'm at 186 now. Eating that way wasn't sustainable for me. I'm an insulin dependent diabetic and have monitored my carb…
