How did you set your calorie goal that is in MFP?
-
You really don't burn many calories weight training. It's great for you but it's not a calorie burner. I think you are overestimating your calories. I weigh significantly more than you and would have to run like 12 miles to burn 1,800 calories. You do need to eat more than 1,200 calories if you are active, as 1,200 is the…

I hate nut butters too. There are better ways to get fat - you eat dairy so something like full fat greek yogurt is super yummy. Or chose fatter cuts of mean. Or since you like sugar, if you want to go crazy have a donut - my favorite donut has 16g of fat ;) not very calorie friendly, though.
-
I so relate to this and love how you worded it. My mouth also gets bored! So snacking, continually is my challenge I need to change my habits of always feeding my face.

My friend is Diabetic she checks her blood sugar regularly, at work, at home, when out in the evenings. Even in public places. Her "party trick" is checking everyone's blood sugar, So we all get our finger pricked and 'throw blood around'. Not all the time because she has to switch the needles and everything so makes her…

Um, you say you are never hungry so not being hungry seem normal for you? If you not feeling well, it's ok to skip a meal, but you seem to be overacting a bit. Ok, settle down, no one is saying eat, eat, eat. They are trying to help you with the why of your binge. Gaining fat is more about calories over time, but what you…

People are concerned for your health. They are not insulting you they are worried about you! Nothing was said about pizza being unhealthy. There is nothing wrong with pizza, I love pizza. 1600 cal would be be unhealthy for me, I lose 2lbs a week on about 2,200 cal a day. Eating too little and quick weight loss can have…

Yes, slow, slow, slow. Don't worry about speed right now, and gradually build up so that you don't injure you knee more. Your cardiovascular systems is going to adapt faster than your skeletal system, give it time to catch up.

Awesome, I like your posts, I'll check this out even though I'm not a trainer.
-
It wasn't a bottom that changed it for me. I had lots of potential rock bottom moments but didn't change anything, really. It was actually a high that did it for me. It was a weekend that I spend having a blast with some great, accepting people and cheering them on in a half/full marathon that made me realize I wanted to…

Your link, as far as I can tell completely supports CICO/energy balance. It just lays out things effecting both CI and CO. Yes, just saying CICO may be simplistic to you, but it's the way things work and trust me, it's far similar to understand energy balances then trying to wade through 'diet woo' that exists in the…

I would suggest using something like trendweight (website) or HappyScale (app) to monitor the trends in your weight instead of worrying about daily fluctuations. I can swing 5lbs in a day... 1600 seem low to me if you are nursing, you don't want to compromise your milk supply.
-
So you put 12 as the number of servings? So it's the total amount of soup the recipes made divided by 12. If you determined the 12 based on 2 cup servings than 2 cups is a serving. (24 cups of soup in total.)
-
Yeah, for sure that is awesome. I was just clarifying that what I use does that without me having to do the math myself. You make a good point, but some people are scared of math so knowing the tools that they can use I think is a good thing.
-
Trendweight uses moving average (based on Hacker's diet) not trendline, despite it's name.
-
trendweight does same kind of thing. I have a scale that connects over wifi and so I don't even have to look at the number when I weigh in, I can just pull up trendweight latter to see if I'm on track.
-
An easy change would be start eating full fat yogurt, greek yogurt would be best for the extra protein. More calories and you look like you need some fat in your diet. Eating fat doesn't make you fat and fat is needed by your body.
-
Ice Cream. I count it as healthy because I don't eat tones of dairy so I can always use an extra serving :)
-
I think I agree with you on that activity is a great tool for weight loss. I've always been active, that part is easy for me the eating part is the hard part. I enjoy the active part but I have to track food and be careful with my eating or I can easily blow my TDEE every day. I went through my life yo-yoing - when I watch…

How I understand it is there is a limit to the amount of fat that can be metabolized to fill in the energy need. So you wouldn't be able to have a very big deficit. Or be obese, as the amount you use relates to the amount you have. That is why having too large of a deficit if your just trying to lose weigh quickly also…
-
The lack of sleep is not good, and will actually work against your weight loss efforts. Can you talk to your doctor about you insomnia? There may be something that can help. (I have a friend that swears by melatonin, but I don't have sleep issues so don't know anything so talk to your doctor about options.)
-
Agree that it's not a cold temperature, because that is often what I keep my thermostat at! (17 Celsius) I can't afford to keep my house warmer :)
-
Are you eating back some excersize calories? What are your stats? How big of a calorie deficit are you going for? I actually am less hungry on long run days, but more hungry the day after a long run.

Depends who 'they' are, But the OP asked specificity for milliliters. Not everyone here is American...

Oh, yeah. I was a fat kid and teenager, but boy did I eat!
