Testers for a simple TDEE calc
I'd appreciate the folks that have tested out their TDEE's by increasing to max calories, and have a decent handle on their exercise routine and daily life routine. I'd be curious if you could run your stats through this simple spreadsheet, if you have the means. It's Google sheets, and you do need to make a copy to your…

Confused on TDEE
BMR: 1442 TDEE: 2236 (exercise 3-4 times a week, weight lifting with a trainer and fast walking, hill programs on the treadmill, time lasts between 60-90 min, SAHM, but also a college student and sitting doing work more than running after kids) -20% :1788 (minus 20 because I'm visiting family in about 2 months, but plan to…

Celebrating Non-Scale Victories! Share your NSV's here!
The scale isn't the be-all and end-all for feedback on your fat loss efforts. It's easy to get caught up in the numbers, especially if you're in the not-so-great habit of weighing in every week. There's a danger in depending solely on the scale for feedback. If it shows that you didn't lose or that you gained, you might…

Eating at cut value instead of metabolism reset....?
Hello, Quick question regarding the process.... Is doing a metabolism reset a 'must'? I was overeating for a long time and not excercising so I balooned my way up to my current weight- 240lbs- and then found this group.

My weight has gone up
After eating up to 2000 calories my weight was very stable for about a week but it has started to go up. I mostly stayed at around 127.8 then it crept up to 128.4 & today I am 130. It could pre-TOM gain or weekend logging looseness (I didn't log this weekend). I've been a bit stressed due to my 3 yr old having non-stop…

Gained weight feeling frustrated
Hi i started the EM2WL philosophy 2 weeks ago. I had come from a place of not low calorie dieting but very disordered eating and had become obsessed with the macronutrients content of food. I would attempt to diet about 1500 calories restricting so called bad food and then give in and binge. On a recent holiday I decided…

I'm not worried that I'll gain weight, but I'm just trying to figure out how to eat for my activity level when I'm just laying on the couch. It's 3pm and my fit bit says I've walked about 431 steps. I don't think I've actually walked this much, but I have gotten off the couch to refill my water bottle, get kleenex, go to…

Update: I've been upping my calories over the last week and today I'm aiming for 2000. My weight has stayed totally steady throughout-no gains. My scale shows a slight decrease in body fat.

Anyone attempting low carb on this em2wl journey?
Hello, Just a quick question regarding intake- anyone attempting low carb-ish feeds while reaching TDEE-15/20%? This eating above my cut value is becoming more of an 'often' thing and less of a 'once in a while' thing. I'm always craving food. I was wondering if anyone has tried low carb? I guess most people will say no…
