The only thing I really question is the accuracy of the fitbit calculation of my calories burned. Tuesday apart from wearing it in the shower, it said I burned a little over 4,000 calories that day between work and gym

I'm 5'6

Should I go full maintain calories with .9 protein and .35 fat? Or maybe a 250 or 500 deficit?

I'm a cook in a very busy restaurant. Just moving around at work my heart rate hits 110. My resting heart rate average is 52 but it does drop below 50 occasionally. It actually was at 47 a few nights ago. So basically it's the rate(speed) in which your steps are occurring. The faster you get the steps in, the more calories…

Absolutely, thanks

I started a progressive routine already. Today is day 2 of week 2. It all made sense except the carbs from the beginning

I have a Withings scale. It fluxes between 18% and 20% but that's mostly due to how much water is in my body

No, I dont want to go down to 130 again. That's too little. I want to get down to 140 before I started putting on muscle though

I think I said my age? Anyways, I'm 32

You sir, hit the nail on the head. As of yesterday morning I was at 19.1% body fat

I was 160 at the highest mark after gaining the 30 lbs. Sorry for not being too clear

I know that to gain the muscle faster I'll need to eat more, and that's totally fine. Right now I'm trying to shred off some of the 30 lbs I put on in the last year since I quit smoking. And that 30 lbs was mostly fat. Which sounds crazy considering I was only 160 tops to begin with

I did it to see what it changes. It's saying 285g of carbs and 114g of protein for .5 lbs day loss per week. Does that seem like a high number of carbs?

Which is what it's set for. It's set as active like a food server

I already have done this. And I do low reps with heavy weight also. As far as .8g of protein per lbs, that's 118g. I'm at 180g right now

My BMR is 1,924. That still means I burned an additional 2200 calories today. I consumed 1648 calories

I'm a cook. I literally dont stop for 8 hours straight. Then I usually finish my workout with cardio so it tracks the run. But even lifting it will detect my heart rate and know that I'm burning calories without moving. It tracks heart rate and steps then uses the two to calculate the gym calories.

Today for instance... With my synced fitbit I burned 4200 calories. I reached my 1600 calories that I have set, and then it wants me to consume another 1500 for my burned. That's 3100 calories in a day, not happening. That's 386g protein, 172g carbs, 134g fat
