I find that I am more stressed out if I don’t work through my breaks and stress can cause other complications, not just in weight loss. I use to take breaks where I’d walk outside but then I noticed it would take me about another 15 minutes just to get back focused on what I’m doing and in turn put me tremendously behind…

I sit in my vehicle for my half hour drive to work, I go to my desk and I only take “breaks” for bathroom and to heat up my lunch. I work 10 hour shifts and then drive half hour home to the gym for 1.5 hours. I work through my actual 15 minute and 30-minute lunch break because my workload never diminishes. I drink a lot of…

So if I can correctly log my food, and I am consuming less than my TDEE, then I should be losing? What should I do to tweak “it” if I am not?

I actually get free diagnostic imaging through the company work for so a a DEXA isn’t a bad idea, never thought of that!

I know very little about cico. However I did the calculations for BMR, TDEE and other random calorie intake calculators and it says my TDEE is 2220, and BMR is 1539. I basically aim to eat 1200-1500 calories a day, but I have no idea how to determine how many calories I’m burning by weight training to factor that in.

Is there a more accurate way to determine body fat when literally 80% of my body fat is below my waist(thighs) without using calipers? Lol

Well now that I’ve been told using measuring cups is wrong I really don’t know how many calories I’ve been consuming, I’ll have to get back to everyone. According to multiple calculators, Daily calorie target is 1600kcal

As you can tell I’m overly frustrated with this whole process not by what people are trying to help me do. It’s just confusing to be told do this and that and then be told it’s bad and wrong by someone else. I’m not trying to be huffy and puffy, I’m trying to get honest help but it’s like everything I told to do from on…

Apparently people can’t read when I say I have a food scale lol I’m sure I can do more to try and figure out how to change 1/4 cup of broccoli to whatever that equates to on a scale and somehow figure out the calories macros that way based on a label that measures in cups, not grams/ounces, but I do weigh my turkey or…

Okay well then someone please enlighten me on what protein I can eat that actually has flavor so that I don’t fall off the wagon if I’ve been doing it so wrong. Mind you these are all things I’ve previously been advised to try doing by other fitness “guru’s” so get the right protein needed for building muscle cutting fat.…

This is what it looks like on my Fitbit app when I put it in.

I measure egg beaters out by tablespoon it’s 3 tablespoons per serving so I do two servings, I measure out 1/4 cup of each ingredient so 1/4 cup chopped spinach, 1/4 cup broccoli, 1/4 cup shredded cheese, 1/4 cup chopped organic turkey bacon, and 1/4 cup turkey sausage crumbles. I put all ingredients into my microwave…

Okay here is what my meal prep has been after a few adjustments and talking to personal trainers. I have always measured all of my food on food scale. Breakfast- coffee with 1 packet Splenda and 1tbsp half and half(on my way to work) total-22 cals. I use to do sugar and flavored creamer Mid morning(9-10ish)-omelette with…

Well I had managed to slowly get down to 178 but then every day I was gaining a pound back with no change in diet or water. I meal prep everything and check mark how many 24oz water bottles I drink to make sure I’m drinking enough. So there isn’t a change in my intake daily. It’s just alarming to me to see it continuously…

Yes

Using macros, I portion all of my meals to fit 25/45/30. So I pre-measure a days worth of food and then break it up between meals

All of my weight is south of my belly button. I’ve always had a fairly skinny waist but big hips, big butt, big thighs and big calves. I don’t do heavy weights with my legs because of my knee injuries but I do lunges, squats, leg press and quite a few inner/outer thigh and hip exercises.

I portion all of my food, specifically scaling my protein and carbs, between fruits and veggies I stick to one apple a day or half of grapefruit, for veggies, it’s always one cup or more spinach or kale, and the occasional cauliflower, I always measure so that I can correctly utilize the nutrition infor to correctly track…
