I understand, thanks. @heybales I'll keep that in mind, thanks. @AnnPT77 Thank you for your candor. You're right, I confused myself with misknowledge again. My first sentence was an irrelevant mention of the misconception I had from carb cycling when using the NEAT formula. ... I now fully comprehend that the TDEE formula…

@AnnPT77 Wow, ok... I had the misconception from Scott Herman Fitness since a few years ago that the calories calculations were flawed from leaving you too much to get fat on rest days by lowering carbs on those days. I'm not sure where I got the misconception of needing to eat back the calories you lose though, even…

@sijomial Oh ok, thanks. So instead of wasting my money on a inefficient/inacurate fitness tracker or overly expensive heart rate monitor which is useless and irrelevant to my style of training/goals, figuring out (through trial and error) the amount of calories I should eat back ...the estimate aid of TDEE overall and…

@AnnPT77 I see. Damn, it's still a little overwhelming. For insight, my NEAT habits are very simple and basic. I rarely walk a lot unless I on rare occasions go out to something special or rather walk or jog for several minutes or a few hours when I'm quickly shopping. As for training I plan to start Athlean-X's full body…

@harper16 @Deviette @Leitchi @zebasschick @deepsea117 @SnifterPug @kimondo666 @QuilterInVA @Redordeadhead @DanaDark Thank you all so much for the revelations and suggestions of eating at a unhealthy caloric deficit and to lower my weight loss per week, along with the scale calculation, ensuring the food entries are…

@DanaDark That's very informative, thank you. I forgot muscle retained water, that's a great reminder. I'll measure several parts of my body as it's extremely apparent as a solution from the many who've suggested it. Is there really no fitness tracker/heart monitor/etc. that's as accurate as possible to a (not bad) decent…

I forgot to mention that I drink a table spoon of lemon and organic mother apple cider vinegar with water every morning (/after I wake up) before eating to help digestion/weight loss, but anyway. Yesterday (as it's currently 6am), I ate at the caloric amount to lose .5lb/week, but now I'm urged to start training soon…

Ah, awesome. Thanks.

Now I'm curious to know if the Katch-McArdle Formula and the US Navy Seal Calculator is still the most accurate body fat measurement. ... Thoughts on TDEECalculator.net? https://tdeecalculator.net/ From how it calculates an estimate of Ideal Weight, BMI Score, the TDEE with the Katch-McArdle Formula and Maximum Muscular…

You're right, I should eat veggies everyday like I did in the past, haha. "Fitness Tracker"... so that's wtf you call them, lol. I see, that makes sense. I was expecting too much of our technology. Plus it'd probably be expensive as hell if a device could truly calculate calories burned accurately. Thanks!

Funny I have one at home (I'm currently back with my family during this pandemic) but never felt the need to use it yet since I can measure everything fine with my measuring cups or whatever myfitnesspal's bar code has. Although, I don't know how to calculate steak if there's no bar code result... is it even possible for a…

Damn, alright. I don't care too much to know the amount of calories I lose from activity for being sedentary at this current moment because I barely walk around the house, but I always wanted a physical device that can accurately calculate the amount of calories my body loses. I always guessed those arm band devices people…

I've mentioned this on my reply to harper16 but... what device could I use to calculate my TDEE? I don't know what you call them and whatever I found when searching calories device online in the past I didn't find much and whatever I found were expensive watches that seem irrelevant to true accurate calculation, at least…

I didn't go off my 2,245 calories/day at 172lbs on April but from my 181lbs on June off myfitnesspal's calculation of 1,500 (when setting it to 2lbs/week) which apparently is the recommended limit, even though that seems counter-intuitive to losing fat with a calorie deficit. You're right though, it seems to have been too…

Yeah, I use measuring cups or measured tablespoons accordingly when inputting it all to the app. Whenever on rare occasion that there's food my family cooked to which I didn't have a chance to measure and/or calculate, I do a mental estimate from memory with the cups if possible. Sometimes it's hard, especially for meat or…

Alright, thanks. It's been around 4 months (again) that I've stopped training, I think. Yeah, I should really start... I definitely plan to go back to train at home with Athlean-X's program again, since I don't want to wrap my head around building myself a home program myself yet, nor do I plan to go back to a gym anytime…

Essentially my goal is to first reach around 10% BF before I start lean bulking. So the "goal" even though I don't know how I'll look or feel like at that weight is 150lbs. Once I finally reach the healthy body fat of a satisfying lean/ripped look, I'm guessing once I start lean bulking I'll gain to around 170lbs more or…

'True. I've thought about that in the past from the disappointment I had whenever my weight wasn't consistent from salt/water weight in training 6 times a week/eating before bed (and fasting for 8+ hours during sleep) because it was easier for me to train after (evening) work at midnight. But now with consistent 11+ hours…

Hahaha. No worries. I'll fix it as well, lol. Text lacks tone which unfortunately and frustratingly seems hostile or mean to insecure or deluded people jumping into conclusions. I've been there. It's hard not to take replies without judgement of ill will from all the internet trolls or simply terrible people on the…

Haha, don't get me wrong, I'm fully aware. I just found it odd how I lost 2 inches in two weeks and didn't lose 1cm of my gut in the fourth week since the third week because logically I expect to have lost more inches from losing 12.4lbs now. Although measuring myself in other areas would have maybe give me a better idea…

Hmm. Odd. I did intentionally choose 1.5lbs/week since in the past it was hard to know for sure what I truly weighed every morning (at 1lb/week) from training/consuming (6/week) before bed with usually only 8+ hours of sleep/fasting. ... So that's why it forcefully keeps the calories at 1,500 no matter the weight I lose.…
