  • 41k steps is roughly 20.5 miles. Think the average of calories burned per mile is 100? It depends on your height/weight but is 1300 enough to cover 20 miles?

  • It goes by your weight and depends on if your doing work/exercise that damages muscles. Like lifting weights. Most recommend .8 - 1.4 per pound of body weight. That is if you were lifting 3 times a week, if not you don't need half that. Unless you're a feather I'm gonna say 100g a day is not too much.

  • Start by logging everything that passes your lips and try to stay within your daily calorie limit set by mfp. Invest in a food scale if you don't currently own one. As long as you maintain a caloric deficit you will lose weight. Exercise can help, but losing weight is 90% nutrition.

  • As they say, calories is king. If your not watching what you eat you can't expect to lose. You can easily out eat a work out regardless of how much you do. Sitting here debating a 540 calorie NY cheesecake slice. I can eat it in 20 seconds while that's easily 2 hours of exercise to burn off. CICO. If your in a caloric…

  • To be honest i don't care much for the scale. I'm currently 167.8lb at 5ft 7in. Seems I'm about 10lbs over a healthy weight for my height going by most calculators. The main reason for my diet is to get rid of the pinch-able fat around my waist. Not so much what the scale tells me. I've been on a calorie deficit for 48…

  • Ouch, i was guessing 25% maybe? Least i don't think I'm as big as images i have seen that are shared by others here. Least i dont have excess fat on my chest. My main reason for asking was because I'm on a 20% calorie deficit and was thinking a recomp would be better to try as i do lift and it would allow me to eat at…

  • Save some milk gallon jugs and fill them with water / sand. You can use them as a set of dumbbells. If you're patient you can watch Craigslist and find good deals on free weights eventually. Around .10-.50 cents per pound. Many people buy weight sets and stop using them. When they collect enough dust people practically…
