Okay, I had a chance to look at this. Those variables change based on your preferences for lbs/kgs, cal/kcal and are added up. That number is then used as a multiplier and help to determine your estimated weekly TDEE.

I'll have to do some tracing when I get back home. Likely has to do with the number of calories that need to be consumed based on the number lbs or kgs you want to lose a week. That's my guess. I'll come back and give a better answer later tonight.

Hey, just wanted to follow up because I value your advice. I took a few days to look more into body recomp. (Apparantly people are calling it "maingaining" nowadays--who knew!). You are correct, body recomp works for the vast majority of the population. Both Jeff Nippard and Greg Doucette agree that it's a perfectly valid…

I am afraid you are mistaken. I cannot possibly make it clear enough that I do not claim to be an expert in any field; I am not looking for any followers on any platform; nor am I looking to sell or advertise anything. I simply wanted to post my success story on the MyFitnessPal forum since MyFitnessPal was instrumental in…

Couple of things I should probably clarify. Body recompisition is only a good idea for those who are obese or new to lifting. I didn't fall into either category. Plus, recomping requires an extremely small calorie window which would have been difficult to maintain and would have taken weeks to find. And not to mention that…

You can't outrun a bad diet.

There actually is a way to do this. -Go to yesterday. -Hit the pencil at the top -Check the Select All box (you could also just choose a particular meal) -Click the 3 dots at the top-right -Copy to -Sekect today Today (or tomorrow, or whatever).

The only unrealistic fitness goals are the Hollywood transformations which require steroids and other drugs to achieve that kind of body in that time frame or at that age. Stuff like a flat stomach or low body fat % is just a matter of dieting; you don't even need to workout. Huge problem is how lacking proper nutrition…

We can't help you unless you tell us what you need help with.

I was about to apologize for opening the floodgates by suggesting counseling first before suggesting communication. But reading this, it seems like the issue may be a bit bigger than what a general health & fitness forum can provide. Definitely communicate with your partner, but if you two can't come up with something that…

This is something I'd suggest seeing a marriage counselor for. I doubt anyone here is qualified to work out an intimacy schedule. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to give a generic "communicate with your partner" on this one.

The only way to accurately tell your body fat% is going to be a DEXA or Hydro scan. With a tape measure, just pick a spot and stick with it. You want to measure trends over a long period of time.

Take pictures and measure your body fat% using calipers, tape measure, or DEXA scan once a month or every couple of weeks. As long as you're eating at a caloric deficit, you'll still lose fat.

None of them will accurately tell you how many calories you've burned. Closest is something that can monitor your heart rate. I generally suggest that you don't add calories from working out if your goal is to lose weight as it's almost always overestimated. But if you are losing weight at the expected rate, then you're…

In addition to what @sijomial said, if you're new to lifting (1-2 years) or over fat, then you will still gain muscle whole losing weight, provided you are resistance training. Scales or handheld devices that supposedly measure fat aren't accurate and should only be used for tracking trends over time. Use either calipers,…
