Uhm, I did my calculation at this website..http://www.health-calc.com/diet/energy-expenditure-advanced It says my BMR is 1966 and Total Energy Expenditure is 4389. So... I don't understand what all that means in comparison to what MFP settings are telling me. I'm confused!

I do... but a lot of days I'm under by a little. I've read on here to just eat back half the calories and some of my calories burned are from weight lifting and stuff which I hear can be not accurate. So I try to stay under by 300cals. Also to account for any extra calories I may have not accounted for accurately when…

Oh gosh.. I would be HIGHLY annoyed by that too! This has never happened to me.. not yet anyways. But I can see how irritated I would be if I were in your shoes. I will say that I have problems eyeballing Korean food dishes and I think its little and I go to log and its way more cals than I thought.. and find myself with…

Thanks bettybing1.. you are right that life is unpredictable and I definitely don't want to resent the people or the diet. I truly hope calorie counting isn't going to be a forever thing.. ;/ I really want to be like my brother.. eat whatever I want and never gain. LOL Gosh!

So.. I knew there was lot of sodium so I tried to flush it out by drinking a gallon of water afterwards on BOTH days. Maybe it didn't flush out.. and both gallons got stuck ? LOL I'm not so worried that my weight didn't go down or what not because all the million reasons it could have other than fat pounds. Not to mention…

BBQ Ranch Chicken Salad .. in a mason jar.. hehee. (My first jar in a salad.. excited to try it out!)

Well I can't say for sure yet... it's only been this week. I did however notice on Tuesday (I had weights that night and ate at 8pm), I slept around 11p-12a because I took this melatonin or something my aunt said to give a try.. some herbal pill which triggers the sleepiness to fall asleep but it doesn't keep you asleep or…

I weigh myself every Sunday morning.. soon as I wake up. And.. I do pictures every other week. :) Measurements.. I didn't have a starting measurement so I don't know when I should take my first measurement.. I'm thinking this coming Sunday (week 4). Then probably every 4 weeks (monthly).

I lovee starbucks latte! I usually have a tall original latte.. with the whole milk and everything.. 150 cals. AND, I have it to replace a snack time, usually happens when I'm running around and can't grab a healthy snack or forgot to pack one and I go for it. The whole milk keeps me full for hours. I think I consume less…

The settings say that my diary is open to public... So I'm not sure what you mean by opening my diary.. Is there something else I need to do? JossFit - MFP set my calorie intake to be 1210.. I have my carbs at 40%, protein at 40% and fats at 20%. I work out a lot so I can eat more... so I intake roughly 1700-2000 calories…

Yessss... I try to avg 25-30 grams of protein for every meal. I usually have a protein shake while I'm preparing my meal which also has protein (usually chicken breast related). I hear you should eat within 30mins after workout.. but I shower and all after gym and it takes time to prepare the meal so I try to get the…

You can add me if you'd like!

I usually workout between 11a-2pm.. Somewhere in there... And its all cardio.. This week I added weights in the PM between 6-7pm. Four days a week I have doubles. On those nights I eat dinner at 8pm.. is that too late?

I am eating enough and I am eating the recommended calorie goals set by MFP (2lbs per week). Is it a negative impact that I sleep less? I don't wake up groggy or tired.. and I don't feel tired the rest of the day even with my workouts.. I had one day in the past month where I felt I needed a nap but besides that.. just…

I see... well also because.. if I don't workout.. I can't eat as much.. LOL!! And, I want to be able to eat normal amounts even on my rest days. I only eat as much as I do now because my workout burns so much. To replenish those burned off calories, I eat... and it's still under the calorie goals MFP has in place for me.…

So.. I'm 220 right now. My calorie goal daily based on MFP is 1210 a day (set for 2lbs a week). I've set my nutrition goals to 40/40/20.. (carbs/protein/fats). What really IS the recommended protein intake for my weight/gender? I suck at these calculations.. Just give me a flat gram amount. LoL.

I eat this 90 cal frozen yogurt bar... It's from healthy choice. I got em from Costco.. LoL Haven't seen em anywhere else though. Also, another one is called Froozer, they're like 35 cal frozen fruit mush kinda thing.. like an otter pop made of fruit.. I like them too. Also from Costco. If you want something warm/baked/or…

OMG you're my inspiration!!! I'm currently aiming for that same 50lbs! Awesome job lady!! WOO!

So then what's this protein talk? Maybe I'm confused but I've gotten this impression that as long as you consume a huge amount of protein... muscle building can still happen regardless of caloric surplus/deficit.. Is this false then?

Ohh I see.. So retain muscle mass is the goal/purpose of lifting while in caloric deficit? So.. When do I start to build muscle? After I've lost the weight I wanted to lose?

Okay... realistically I understand 50lbs maybe hard for that timeline. And from past experience, I do know that my plateau is always 190. I've always made it to 190, and months and months of workout and eating right and never drop past 190. I been to 189.9 before.. LOL but then back to 190.1 the next day. SMH! So this time…

Coolios... I like to eat.. LOL That's never a problem. Hence, my overweightness lol.

Well.. I was kind of asking this question mainly because 2 weeks ago, I had to stop running the treadmill due to major shin splints. The next day, I just walked and even then it was burning up. So then Saturday I got acupuncture and was ordered to not put any pressure on it or anything X_X.. I'm a swimmer so I asked if I…

Well.. I'm eating for sure.. I work out a lot to eat more.. LOL. Calories consumed avg 1700-2000... and I burn about 750-900 through workout.. bringing me to my 1210 recommended by MFP. But I will say consuming enough protein is difficult for me. I'm trying to maintain the 40% carbs/40% protein/20% fat nutrition…

I want to join this crew! My cousin is getting married July 4 and my close friend Sept 6. I'm not apart of the wedding or anything, but for once I'd like to dress up fashionably and not feel self conscious about it. I'm 5'6, 220 currently, (started at 240 12/25/2014). My goal weight is 165. I want to be 165 by June 11, my…

Just like you, I know what to do to get fit and healthy. Except, like you, I like to eat all the bad stuff and way too much of it. Time and time I've tried to start healthy. But I always fell off after a week or two OR I'd psych myself out telling myself I'm starting tomorrow so I'll eat all the bad stuff one more time and…

You can friend me :smile:

45lbs by June.. I'm in the same boat. I'm reaching for 50 by June 11. With that said, I'm following calorie recommendations for losing 2lbs per week through MFP and keeping it an extra 100-200calories below as well. Additionally, 45mins of cardio every day, and weights 4 times a week (so... 4 double days). I have one…

Ohh Okay. Thanks for that. I'm trying to lose about 50lbs by June 11 (My Birthday :smile: ).. 20 Weeks from now. I'd like to make sure I'm doing it healthily though. I been super strict on diet. So hopefully I can make it happen.

http://www.superskinnyme.com/how-to-slim-calves.html I rest my case... LOL.
