What would be a good BPM to calories burned calculator to use

Any suggested macros for 2k? Was going to guess like 200p 150c then rest in fats

It's been about a month or so I say 220 as an average because it'll change maybe 218 one weigh in then 223 on the next.

I had a Fit bit HR but it was smashed at work. While I had it I was hitting between 10k and 15k steps a day. As for heart rate I'll use a chest strap that connects to a watch then average it out for the session. Usually between 140-150 BPM is the average to be over 30-45 mins

Around a month, It moves up or down a few pounds but the average is staying at 220

I agree with the BMR all the ones I used to calculate it have me in the 2000 to 2500 range. Being as fat as I was I do have loose skin issues in areas that make it hard to determine how lean I possibly am when accounting for the LBM of the BMR equations

If I cheat it's usually not a day. Maybe not even a meal more like a cheat item. Like this past Sunday for breakfast I had pancakes with my eggs and blueberries. As for weighing intake I've got so meticulous about it I'll take the scope from the protein powder put it on the scale zero it out then scope out the powder to be…

1. Thanks Guess I'll try and increase my training. I reduced to sub 2000 before and I literally felt like crap

I don't count in the weight lifting. As for cardio I use a heart rate monitor then take the average BPM over the course of my work out

I just used that do to how this app breaks it down in reality its 150g protein 144g fat and 20g carb. I just don't want lifts or energy availability when exercising to suffer. Just want to maintain the strength I have right now while I try to get into the 180-190 range

Thanks for the information! The only reason I'm keeping the protein maybe to high in the macros is my choice of exercise is heavy compound barbell weight training and muscles need the amino acids found in the protein. I read a article that a 65/30/5 split is good split when weight training a I wrong in this thought ?

I am just a little sketchy on dropping protein to low with every thing I've read it says keep it around .8-1g per pound lean body mass and at a guess I would think my lbm is between 160-180lbs does this seem miss informed?

Nope but I'll give it a shot

I try to weigh in a Saturday mornings once a week

I cut back about a month ago or so I figured my TDEE and went on the conservative side with my intake. I have started running faster in my 30 mins of HIIT on the tread mill 4mph on down side 8mph on up side The only thing that I've did new is stopping the use tobacco but I don't see how that can stall me. The only thing I…

So the egg whites, olive oil , and milk can be measured with spoons and cups correctly right?

I apologize I Do weigh the segments that I cut on the marked line to make sure that they're 14 grams. I do understand its odd to see and read a food diary where nothing really changes besides weights and serving sizes over the course of what seems forever at this point.

Okay yea I'm very precise kind of OCD I cut every chicken breast to 6oz raw before I cook them on Sunday for example. The butter I go by the marks on the paper the butter is wrapped in that are marked in 1 tbsp segments

Yes I'll use a small plastic container on the scale zero the scale out with the container on it then add food sweet potatoes, broccoli, oatmeal I even weigh on the protein powder I use before mixing a shake to make sure its 32grams

I use measuring cups, spoons, and a scale where in my tracking am I going wrong?

I read the article and towards the end it states that any excess protien will just be used for an energy supply.

Well that adds some relief to my concerns for sure thank you

I think the protein is a little high myself but all the reasearch I've been doing says go between 1-1.5 grams of body weight per day. Does this seem right or have I been mislead? If its wrong where would you suggest I get the calories I'd need to replace from cutting down on the protien?

Losing weight for me is a little odd I've read up on it. I could stall out for a week or two but then all the sudden 4-5 pounds are gone and stay gone. Some people just are like that from all the reading I've done. I'm built like a strong fat guy so losing muscle do to calorie cutting is a big fear. Don't want to be skinny…

Im hitting around 2200 calories a day started into weight lifting about three weeks ago on top of doing cardio. My stats are male, 30, 255lbs , 6'2 height. Im not noticing the scale move at all past two weeks. I usually run 50P/30C/20F macros. My diary should be open so any help would be greatly appreciated.
