My friend who works at my gym suggested to me that i weigh myself everyday and work out the average over a week

:-( its a hard life!! Im going to have to lose too much fat on my legs and shoulders and then build these through heavy lifting. I would much rather do that. I've always been chubby even as a child so id like to see what its like to have a flat stomach haha. Thanks for all your help :-)

I have been tracking my macros for about a month but these were on a 40 40 20 split not the ones mentioned in my original post. I wasn't seeing much fat loss i was only seeing result on muscle areas with less fat around (such as my shoulders and legs) i want to eat as much as i can while loosing fat too but i have been…

Thank you

I only weigh 4lbs less than you but are the same height but when i set mine to sedentary it says 1200. Thanks for this info.....i have been struggling with if i have been doing things correctly or not for a while now, i only like to focus on my macros by a PT at the gym.

Ahhhhh right okay! I understand that part now. I use a heart rate monitor for my cardio so that bit shouldn't be a problem. So im just confused on my macros still. Calculate from TDEE or BMR?

Well either! Which ever is best and will help me calculate my macros correctly. This is so confusing :-(

So i need to set it to sedentary?? ( i have a desk job but workout 5-6 times a week) so then id eat back my exercise calories minus 250calories for the deficit?? 1200 + workout cals - deficit ??

If i set MFP to sedentary it tells me 1200 cals which is ridiculous! Okay thanks i will try that

Website under construction :-( i will keep trying over next couple of days. Re calculations came to: Protein 134g, Fat 43g, Carbs 156g Sounds more realistic to me

Iv put my stats in and placed it on very active, weight loss at 1lb per week and It has calculated 1780calories

My body fat reading is from an online calculator - i used a few and they all told me around the same answer. From what everyone is saying it seems i am doing this totally wrong. So...i need to reduce my deficit to 250calories and recalculate my macros from there? When iv tried to calculate my maintenance calories iv had a…

I want to loose around 20lbs. Im only 5ft 6 and I weigh 182lbs. 26%body fat and 134lbs is lean body mass. To maintain i have to eat around 1800-1900 calories. Iv tried so many calculations to try work this out and have different answers each time. Its becoming highly frustrating as i don't know which are the correct…

With exercise it should yes 500 deficit 500 burned through cardio

Its not a little haha. Well to me it isn't. I have 26% body fat and i want to lose at least 2lbs fat a week

Rest days are Mondays and sometimes Wednesdays depending on how i feel

I lift weights 6 times a week. Cardio only 4. I have quite lean body mass and am only struggling with stomach fat.
