For me personally, I don't like using TDEE because it's an estimate of a daily average. I prefer to use my BMR (which I got tested) which is 1622 and I eat that plus 10% at minimum. I add in my exercise and eat some of it back. Simply said I eat according to my daily activity which varies from sedentary to 50+ km runs.

When I got my BMR tested the tester told me about a 250+ lb guy who's metabolism was destroyed from that diet and his BMR was 800.

It takes 1 Kcal to heat 1 kg of water 1℃ so drinking ice cold water burns more calories than room temperature water......it's junior high science.

caramelgyrlk 120 grams, that does seem high. 1.5 grams per kg of body weight for endurance athlete is the rule of thumb I was given.

2 marathons a day for the 13 days ought to do it :-). Make sure he has good shoes....LOL.

Fuel your body and exercise.

Never eat below your bmr because you need that to keep your body functioning normally. Your body will burn an additional 10 - 15% just processing the food you eat, keeping your body warm...etc. My bmr was tested and came out as 1622 and i eat about 2000 - 2100 calories to lose weight. You need energy to be and stay active…

I agree with amyrhubarb, I got tested to see what my bmr was and it's 1622 but it was recommended I eat around 2000 to 2100 to lose weight and drinking water helps to flush things out.

I had a large order of KFC fries and gravy :( . I did it after a 50 km race but I still feel guilty doing it o:)

I try to do a minimum if 8 cups a day and I'm 155 lbs. It seems like you're having to drink all the time at first and now I feel like I'm wanting to grab my water bottle because I'm always thirsty.

That's why it's such a good recovery drink after hard workouts.

Any 'diet' that restricts your intake to specific foods is never going to be sustainable. Eat what gives you the energy to be/stay active and take in less than you burn.....voila....it's magic. Mr. Phil (not a real doctor in my mind) is strictly a self promoter who will ruin millions of people's metabolism for a few more…

Don't focus so much on it, you're building it up to be much larger than it really is. Create a habit of getting more physically active regardless of what it is. The more hours on your feet the more calories you burn. Exercise doesn't have to be an intense workout in the gym and then 4 hours on the couch in front of the tv…

Stir-fry's are my go to recipe. I use brown rice and keep it to what fits within your diet parameters and as a protein I use chicken/turkey breast, pork tenderloin or shrimp (might be high in sodium for you) and as many veggies as you can put in the pan. I find it filling and decently low in calories and low sodium if you…

I totally agree with chgodvr said and I want to reiterate the portion about the lower calorie intake. One of the biggest mistakes I see with people wanting to lose weight is they start exercising excessively and cutting their calories way back at the same time. Just keep doing what you're doing and you can tweak your…

Everyone wants to see a lower number on the scale but concentrate on making this lifestyle change a habit first. Once it becomes a habit the weight loss will naturally follow. :)
