How does that change the fact of what Ndj said? That they aren't so empty and technically provide the same unit of energy?

You do realize that you NEED fats, right? And many foods (even raw foods) contain sugar? The "big reason" we gain weight is because we overeat. Honestly, the few posts you've made (which have been all today I believe) have been full of wrong information and statements. Kind of wondering.....

And what if you work the night shift? #ForeverHungry

lol, no. Unfortunately nothing that you said is true.

My thoughts are why you're taking it dry. Do you think it's going to be more effective this way? (Which it won't)

No, this isn't HIIT. This sounds more like pacing or intervals. HIIT is where you go all out for a short period of time (I've been told it's 20-30 seconds but I've seen others say up to 60 seconds) before easing up on the pace (low intensity level) for anywhere between 1-3 min. And then repeat.

You just answered your own question in the bolded. You are getting leaner and the muscles that you slowly gained prior to the cut are showing. As for the "bigger" part - you should check out the numerous threads on here with people who think they are getting "bulky" because they actually see their muscle definition.

The Nike+ Training app is free and has a nice variety. There is also Nerdfitness (which has a bodyweight routine on there free) and darebee.com - which has a lot of bodyweight programs.

If she's holding onto 30-40lbs of "acidic waste" and water, I'd probably suggest she talk to a doctor instead of going on a diet. Haha.

You can take quite a few strength training programs and substitute kettlebell exercises in for barbells/dumbbells. (I.E. instead of Barbell Front Squats do goblet squats or use kettlebells for shoulder presses, etc). Bodybuilding.com has a great exercise database that might give you ideas on how to do this.

I have the Charge HR2, but when I had the Charge - you'd just record the session and then go on the website and assign what it was to it (i.e. strength training). Then the calories will transfer over. If you mean just having it show up as a separate entry on your MFP feed, then it won't show up ever. But as long as the…

I think leg extensions are fine as long as you aren't trying to go heavy on them and just use them as an accessory lift.

A week ago? That's not enough time to determine if you're at a standstill or not. Give it 5-6 weeks before you start making any changes (in my opinion).

A way to get around having to pay for that is not connecting your fitbit and manually editing the calorie burn to any exercises logged to "1". A lot of people who follow TDEE -20-30% method tend to do this.

If you have negative calories enabled, it won't matter which activity you pick to be honest. If you click on your fitbit entry in your diary (on the app, I think - unless it has changed) or go to your exercise diary on the website and click on the "i" icon. It will show you that MFP has a set calorie burn for the day. So…

Remember that MFP's numbers are an estimate on the average. You might need fewer calories to maintain than the number it gives you. And your wiggle room of 300 calories could be more than you think you're allowing yourself if you're not being consistent or if you're opting to go with cups vs weighing it out. And a wiggle…

^Agreed. I love my Coke Zero.

Have you considered going with one of the free strength training programs? Strength 5x5/ICF 5x5? Or if you're set on upper/body splits - Bodybuilding.com has some good workout programs if you're looking for more intensity/more exercises involved and they have programs that focus on split days. They also have an amazing…

I'd say this could be even more so if strength workouts are included. (For body recomposition and assuming a slower rate of loss is taken)

I would follow what you said in the bolded. It's easier to rebuild your strength after time off then it is to come back from a permanent injury. If anything, this should be discussed with your doctor because just because someone else did something in what "seems" to be a similar situation doesn't mean it's going to be okay…

Depends on when your workout is and just on how you are. Some people workout in the morning and are able to do an intense workout fasted (without eating first). Other people might need to eat something an hour or two (depending on how heavy the meal) before they workout. Experiment and see what works best for you. You…

How much weight do you have to lose overall? I have a feeling the answer is 40lbs. Right? In that case, without removing a limb - there is no possible way to lose 40lbs in a month. And even if you managed it doing something extremely dangerous, you'd end up packing those pounds (and probably even more weight) soon after.…

Well all those other exercises tend to be lesser impact type exercises, especially compared to running. Maybe see a doctor and consider taking a couple weeks off from running?

OP - would you consider making your diary public?

But if the OP falls more in line with the person who said you were wrong, then wouldn't you be...wrong? The point they were making is making a blanket statement might not be the right way to go. It's a good suggestion to try eating more protein and fiber, don't get me wrong, but it isn't the "ONLY TWO" elements (as you put…

I have a charge HR 2 and I use it to time whatever workout I'm doing (whether it's a walk, strength workout, etc). I usually don't bother logging any exercise because of it. The only times I do now is to log something at 1 minute and 1 calorie to complete MFP challenges.

You should be able to go into the food log for fitbit and remove the duplicates. I've had that happen to me before.

I have a PS4 but rarely use it these days. I'm more a PC player at the moment.
