For a 1200 calorie diet, I would say the picture of your lunch would be about the amount you would have to have for breakfast AND lunch in total, and HALF of that plate with meat, potatoes and zucchini would be the size of a dinner to stay within 1200 for the day, and then you would most likely feel pretty hungry once you…

OP, I have your stats. It took me 4 months to lose 15 lbs of scale weight and obviously once I started maintaining, I gained the weight water all back so basically 15 lbs lost turns into 10-12lbs actual loss that I maintain now.

I'm doing a recomp and my coach made a plan for me to do 4 days of progressive strength training: 2 power days (upper/lower) and 2 hypertrophy days (upper/lower). The upper days are the only time I do 20 min of HIIT after the strength training, and one of my rest days I do 30 min moderate steady state cardio. Inches are…

I'm working on a recomp and was told by my coach to eat 1g per lb of body weight. I get in anywhere from 120-150g per day. My average last week was 138g. I can naturally eat about 100g per day, so the extra jump I have to do to get more requires a bit of work especially to stay within the calorie goals.

How about cottage cheese with something like: fruit, maple syrup, jam, nut butter, granola, etc. Cottage cheese is not high in carbs, more in protein. So the carbs would come from mainly your toppings. You can also whip it in a food processor so it's more creamy if you don't like the texture. I always buy the highest fat…

I usually log based on how it looks to be made. If it's a puffier crust I would count it as about 2 slices of white bread (240 calories), plus about 75 calories of mozzarella, I don't bother with veggies especially if they are just sprinkled on, but meat I will count as well for about 75 calories. So a slice of pizza with…

Problem on Android with macros adding up to 80% and custom calories not staying.

I lift and eat at maintenance and after about a month or a bit more, I have lost another inch from my waist and an inch from my calves. I have stayed within the 2lb range that my body fluctuates in.

[quote/] EXACTLY. I have 5 to my goal weight, and if I logged those things I would GAIN. Heck, I barely log exercise AT ALL anymore because there is zero wiggle room left. [/quote] ^yep. That's me right now. Not logging any exercise I do anymore. 5 - 10lbs to lose max.

huh?

*facepalm*

Kids can have snacks and not be overweight. I had snacks everyday growing up and I have never been in the overweight category. Sounds like limits to snack intake has not been taught/limited or she's being overfed at meal time considering what she ate during the rest of that day? Getting her active is great.

Hello. Doing Strong Curves here too.

@ferretpal -lifting weights to change composition was mentioned on page 1 a couple posts down. Currently eating at maintenance cals would probably make her gain weight since logging isn't accurate at this point, and it seems that cardio is the preference.

Yes, that would make sense that if you ate lower than your maintenance on non fasting days plus exercise that you would lose about 1 lb per week. Your're replying as if your 100% accurate with counting. If you do that much activity you must be blowing your cals out of the water somewhere. If you can't be accurate, then you…

From what I was saying on the fasting, because I don't remember anything about 1250 on fast days: 1500 cals to maintain at sedentary activity for 5'4" at 40 years and 130 lbs, using 5:2 method Sunday - 500 calories Monday - 1500 calories Tuesday -1500 calories Wednesday - 500 calories Thursday -1500 calories Friday -1500…

The thing is if you're doing 5:2 and under-estimating the 500 calories you think you are eating on the fast day, plus working out that day and overestimating that burn, then overeating on all other days and entering in huge burns, the fast days aren't really doing much to create a deficit anymore in your week like you…

Yes, you are very much eating back your exercise calories. Your goal is 1,100 per day and you eat anywhere from 1500 -1950 calories per day which most people here are guessing is under-estimated so more like 1600-2100 per day which is pretty much maintenance for me at 5'5" at sedentary. I looked at the last month of your…

I saw a few exercise entries anywhere from 440 to 790 calories in the last couple weeks and a good portion of those eaten back. One day you didn't. If your exercise calories are way off and you're eating that portion back plus mistakes in your food entries, this would explain slow weight loss. Eat less exercise cals back…

- puts me in a better mood - relieves stress - feels good to move after sitting all day at work - general health - aesthetics - achieve personal fitness goals (strength, endurance, etc) - hobby/interest - possibly get to eat a little more than I would if I didn't

I was at BMI of 21 before (3 years ago) after dieting down, but I recomp'ed after that because I lift. Now I'm at BMI 24 looking better than when I was at 21. I'm trying to lean up some more so I'll probably end up around 23, but it's more about body fat percentage in the end than BMI.

hmmm...I calculated for me and I would be losing about .8 lb per week on that.

For things like Frisbee, yard work, laundry, etc. I would suggest not logging those activities like you would a workout since there's a lot of standing around in between doing actual stuff. Those activities should be included in your daily TDEE which should be set at "lightly active", or whatever you think, if that's your…

Looks like you're eating back all your exercise calories and sometimes plus some. Try eating back only 50% for a week and if the weight doesn't move, maybe try 25% the next week. You logged a couple days of 1000+ exercise calories and ate them so I'm wondering if that is even accurate as it may be the thing throwing you…

I only have a "cheat" day where I eat more of what I want when I just can't stick to diet calories. But I track as much as possible and stay around maintenance and the day is usually unplanned. I try to get in as many diet days as possible until one of these days hit where I have uncontrollable appetite.

You will be sooo full! Good you skipped bkft. Enjoy!

400 - 600 calories I would think for a small, depending on if you even finish the small bowl. Usually it includes a boiled egg, lots of ramen noodles (which I can never finish), a decent portion of pork (probably a fatty cut), and at some fancier places may even throw a little garlic oil on top of the soup (you could ask…
