Cardio is boring. Signed, A marathoner

Yes, about 14-15 calories per pound of body weight. Most people undereat in maintenance.

32 months.

15x body weight.

The one that is sustainable and can be adhered to. Like... IIFYM.

Full fat only unless I'm cutting.

5'0" and going for 110, then re-assessing.

Eat more food.

Because I don't like to look like Play Doh.

Protein and fat > carbs.

I prep all my food a week in advance, weight and all. So I don't even need to adjust portions as it's already been sorted and logged.

At 120 calories per 15ml, why wouldn't I?

I don't eat anywhere near "clean" and I'm never starving. Down 93 lbs... oh? And I'm healthy as *kitten*. Latest physical lab results came back all great. =)

Plain and simple, you're miscalculating. It truly is that simple. Unless you're <100 lbs you're not gaining on 1200 calories. It's much more. Weigh all solids on a food scale raw/uncooked, measure liquids. Be super, duper accountable and accurate and make sure the entries you're using are accurate (USDA certified). Trust…

Not a darn thing.

Always assume "as packaged" unless it says otherwise.

RIGHT HERE. Clean? Nope. NOPE.

The speed limit is artificially low. That's why. The default speed limit could easily be 80 and still be safe.

It's CICO. The end.

I do a protein shake fast that day.

You are not logging accurately somehow. You would lose at 1200 unless you have some serious medical condition which would prevent that.

My TDEE is 14.35 x body weight. So when I want to cut, I just take 14.35 x body weight then subtract 15%. Weight comes off.

Only food I hate.

It doesn't.

Every time I stop counting, I gain weight. Like 20 lbs. Nope. I gotta keep counting. Forever.

I've been counting for 5 years. I enjoy it. I like knowing what and how much I'm eating. I embrace accountability.

Join the "IIFYM (- The official if it fits your macros Fanpage!) group on FB (it's the page for the website). Ask for a macro check, the admins on there are super helpful and will sort it all out.

5'0" and 105-110. Currently 120.

50% of my calorie intake are carbs and I'm lean as hell. So yes.

No it isn't... it's rather easily actually. I can pound down 5,000 calories easy. But all it takes to blow my weekly deficit is 3,085 calories. I can EASILY eat that. Half a jar of peanut butter (and I can eat half a jar of peanut butter, I've done it... gross), and 1 1/2 pints of Ben and Jerry's and I'm there.
