Although wild salmon is generally better tasting and more sustainable than farmed salmon, there are a number of sustainable farmed fish including catfish, tilapia, trout, and salmon done the right way. Checkout http://www.seafoodwatch.org/ Also, wild caught fish can be found the freezer section--most of what is in the…

If you have the same amount of lean body mass at 20 and 60, you need the same amount of calories. The chart you list is based on the statistical average that we all lose lean body mass as we age, not that our metabolism slows down.

I don't think it is.

The USDA recommendation is based on the fact the most people lose lean body mass as they age so they need less calories, not a slowing metabolism.

I wouldn't judge him by a front facing picture. I understand QBs don't develope their chests because it can interfere with their throwing motion.

Peyton Manning, per his commercials, eats chicken parm and Papa John's. Sure, his diet is or was probably a lot "cleaner" than that but I don't think Brady's abilities are a strong function of his diet. If he plays into his mid or late 40's, then maybe. And although Brady may be a better quarterback than Manning, not by…

I find this discussion interesting--the OP asked about: and others have expanded this to cat calls, unwanted physical interaction, and physical attacks. Although I agree gawking is rude, it is not at the same level as the rest. Why are some treating as if they are?

I'm curious why they still have cholesterol on the new nutritional information labeling requirements.

I'm there with you. I mountain bike 4 times a week for about an hour. As I like to push myself, I end up getting a really intense workout. I fear, as you do, that if I injure myself then I won't have the deficit, and without it, my weekly indulgences will have to be curbed. Going into maintenance and not going overboard on…

You have lost over a 100 lbs so you have been successful, but there is a better way. +1

I assume you are eating BLSLCB because of them being low in calories. Pork tenderloin is also very lean as compared it to BLSLCB. If you cook them without adding anything with calories, that works, but that gets boring quick and I doubt that's what you have been doing. A steak grilled is most likely "healthier" than a…

You are enabling him to do something unhealthy. I would stop.

How much is he losing per a week? You can tell him that losing too fast, in his case over 1 lb a week, will mean a lot of muscle loss. As others have said, he probably isn't logging right. Only 1200 calories and being very active for 6 hrs would mean his net calories would be close to zero.

OP, it depends on why you are tracking water. There is a myth that water is needed for weight loss. Water is needed for life but not directly for weight loss. That being said, water can give you sense of fullness. Drinking some through out the day may help with hunger. Also, water and adequate fiber keep the pipes working.…

Although weight loss is not linear, if your calories in and out are constant and accurate, fat and lean body mass loss is linear. The nonlinear part of weight loss is due to water retention.

You don't mention what your diet is like. Makes me think that you are not tracking what you eat. As others have said, weight loss is more about diet, less about exercise.

Until they don't look or smell good.

You need to find someone else.

NOOOOO. That is not healthy. In fact, eating between 1200 and 1500 and burning 250 means you net 950 to 1250--that is not healthy either. You should be netting at least 1200 calories. This assumes your calorie estimates are accurate. As you are not losing and not burning that many calories, you are likely not counting your…

Since Monsanto is always picked on as being only profit driven, I'd thinks it interesting to point out they are 197 on the Fortune 500 list. The "altruistic" Whole Foods who people may think have others motives than profit is 214. I support the use of and eat GMOs. I also like shopping at Whole Foods.

No, he's taller than you and is a man and has more lean body mass so he needs more calories. He cannot defy the laws of thermodynamics--if he eats too much he will gain weight.

This is basically true. You can eat the same way as him, but less calories, and work out more and you will lose weight. To your point, that's not what you want to do. Or to better summarise what I think your position should be is: "I have found the best way for me to lose weight and be healthy is eat salmon and .... and…

My reading hasn't led to me conclude anything on how menopause impact metabolism, but I have always wondered if it does, why don't the calorie calculators (MFP, Scooby, etc.) don't have a check box for post-menopausal?

Uh, the OP said nothing about lady stuff. That came later.

Which is included in the BMR "part" of the MFP calculation. The OP was referring to exercise calories.

I think the OP an others on this post didn't get the memo: To: All Subject: Metabolism and aging. Although its true if you plot metabolism and age, you will see a decrease in metabolism associated with an increase in age, this is a correlation, not a causation--at least not directly. As we age, we lose lean body mass (LBM)…

Yes. If you burn a reasonable amount, you are putting yourself in a higher than expected deficit. Encouraging people not to eat back exercise calories could be encouraging a VLCD, depending on their normal calorie goal. As there are a lot of women hear shooting for 1200 calories and men, 1500, that would include a lot of…
