The problem with most of the posts here if you are not taking into account weight, and more importantly actual intensity in the calorie burn. There is a huge difference between (using cycling) race pace (25+ MPH avg, with spurts of 30+ MPH and hard efforts), club riding (20MPH Avg, fewer spurts), and lower pace riding. The…

I normally have 1, and sometimes rarely 2 days a week were I eat to TDEE. Those extra 600 - 1000 calories will be enough to get you through the hard days. You should not eat over TDEE, and that should never be a problem. If cheat means "enjoy a desert, or something similar, than great, go for it! If cheat means go 1500…

I use a HR strap at the gym and use the machine numbers (input weight, and age), HR changes count. I split my workout into two machines, and the number they give me is almost 30% lower than MFP. I then eat back between 50 and 75% of those calories. I actually have trouble at times eating back enough calories on workout…

Twinkles diet!!! Yes! Anyway, thanks everyone for the reasonable responses (and no thank you to the people who have to Inflame crap).

I specifically mention that I go to the gym and work out hard, not that the process is hard. In fact the process is easy overall... stay in your calorie goal and lose weight. I definitely am not saying that others do not work out hard, quite the opposite actually. It i kind of like when I go to the gym and see people…

Honestly Cereal is the easiest option for breakfast, but is not the cleanest food. Yogurt, Cottage Cheese, etc are good choices.

The common idea is that you eat back approx half the calories you burn from all workout. The half number is to accommodate any bad or incorrect tracking, or workout calorie inaccuracy. There is also another phrase here... You can not out workout a bad diet - workout for health, and eat back those calories. BTW this assumes…

Feel free to add me Initial SW - 330.8 Current Weight - 319 in 35 days (2 pounds per week)

I watch TV shows on my laptop while cross stitching. I also tend to have a glass of water around to quell the hunger if it hits. My key is... no food... no eat...

I am currently 325 and also just starting the journey to lose 125 or so pounds. Feel free to add me! :)

I am 6'5" from a family off tall women and very tall guys... I am currently 329, and am trying to get down to 200... (or 129 pounds). I was 190 in college... then well... Clothing is always a problem... but thankful for tall clothing stores...

I can not drink diet... I would rather drink water over that crap. The problem is I have an altered since of taste since I can not smell, and the stuff in diet is bitter not sweet. I have simply decided that I will just have a single coke or Pepsi here and there and just count it as a treat. I can not have them at home…

I have started logging my coffee at 50 calories a cup to cover the milk and tablespoon of sugar. I don't log vegetables that are under 20 - 30 calories, and just add it to other items in the dish, or roll it into a correction at the end of the day. The closest I have been to my calorie limit is 44 calories, but normally it…

I have pretty severe ADHD, and choose medications at work, but for everything else you simply have to decide that part of every meal is tracking, and do it. In fact most people with ADHD have more trouble focusing on a specific task for a very long time, but have less trouble doing things every time. I track with every…

I rarely ever drink what is in the bowl either... so I just measure the difference, then toss it away.
