This! You can also still follow the recipe using cups just put your half cup on the scale, tare, and then add oats to see how many grams it weighs. You’ll realize quickly that half a cup of oats is a bit more than 40 grams (mine is 45 grams).

Prelog your weekend so you have a plan. That way you can have everything in moderation that you want. Instead of fries, choose a veg. Instead of a full burger, eat half with the bun and then the other half without the bun. Have a slice of pizza or two and a salad! There’s little things you can do to enjoy your day with the…

Ditch the cups. Get a food scale and always try for grams or ounces.

Bones are tough! I usually weigh it raw and then look for an entry with “raw with bone”. You could weigh what’s leftover if you want to be really exact. Your package though sounds like it’s the raw weigh in ounces. I’d eat however many ounces of wings that will fit into my calories for dinner. You could eat 4 ounces for…

Don’t be shocked if you’re at 176 tomorrow. Weight fluctuates daily but fat loss does not. I suggest using a trending app (Happy Scale or Libra) so you get an overall trend instead of the daily ups and downs. Also going low carb will eliminate some water at first. IF has nothing to do with fat loss, being in a calorie…

Deli turkey slices, cheese, mayo, wrapped in lettuce. Popcorn Mini Drumstick Ice Cream cones (110 cals!) Avocado Toast Chips and Salsa

Yea, it sucks! I weigh roasted and salted almonds on my scale and typically only eat .2 ounces at a time on oatmeal or with sautéed green beans. You’ll never see peanuts at cocktail parties the same again! I avoid them at all costs.

I think you already know the answer. Lethargy, dizziness, difficulty understanding, malnutrition, lack of focus. All things that can happen when lowering your calories too much. Not to mention irritability.

I politely disagree. Wearing leggings is not an invitation. I don’t think the answer is for people to wear loose clothing or your kids’ friend to take off their cat ears. Personal responsibility should be on the 80 year old man who’s making inappropriate remarks and the kids at school who aren’t tolerant.

It’ll only slow down your fat loss if you consume more calories than you burn. I find that on days after a couple of drinks (and not eating 1200+ extra calories at the red hot ranch) I weigh the least. That’s because alcohol dehydrates, I lose weight on the scale. But my fat loss will only come from being in a calorie…

You should consider becoming a fan of bands. They’re great for adding resistance to bw exercises. They’re versatile and can used pretty much everywhere (home, hotels, work, etc).

What’s the rush?

Prelog your meals so when you put it on your scale you know whether to remove a couple grams or not. That way you’re not going over.

You’ve got a couple of myths here. First off starvation mode does not exist. Also, eating meals before bedtime will not impact your weight loss. Only being in a calorie deficit will. What are your stats (height, weight, age)? How are you measuring your 1200 calories (food scale or cups/spoons)? Peanut butter, a tablespoon…

B12 and a nap.

Find a sport if you’re into that. I’ll play some volleyball, I’ll shoot some hoops or simply just go for a bike ride.

Ground turkey and sliced deli turkey is always a great protein source for me. Also protein powder if you’re struggling to get it in your diet. Beans too!

Skipping lunch is fine. I skip breakfast. It’s all your personal preference.

I also the Smith machine...it’s the only thing in my fitness center. I also use the bench outside of the machine area and will put dumbbells or plates on my hips to thrust. SoheeFit on insta has good examples.

That’s your personal preference and should not be gospel. I don’t get “sugar cravings” but sure some people do. My preference is to budget 110 calories every night for an ice cream cone because it tastes wonderful to me and fits into my budget. If I substituted that with broccoli or chicken or eggs, it wouldn’t be…

Preach!

Experience - lost 61lbs in less than a year eating JUNK FOOD.

Farted going down in my squat. While being spotted from behind. By a very attractive strength and conditioning coach.

The scale measures your weight and not your fat. The goal is fat loss so try to find ways to measure that. Typically using body measurements and photos are good examples. The scale is one tool out of many to measure progress.

It’s just one day out of many days. Make sure most days are better than today. I also agree that being too aggressive with the calorie deficit can lead to this yo-yoing. Set MFP to lose 2lbs a week and get as close to that number as possible eat day. You can totally do this!

Mine was salmon. Was eating about 200 more calories than I had thought. Although surprisingly when I did angel hair pasta I was really relieved because it’s still a fair amount of pasta.

I love baked potato with butter, bacon, and cheese. One of the reasons I love my food scale. I can portion everything perfectly and fit it into my day.

This is the exact recipe I use. Except I don’t have a trivet. I keep the ribs elevated with some tinfoil. These are a hit at home every time I make them.

100-250 a day in exercise calories.

I’ve heard that heart rate doesn’t equate exactly with calorie loss. I typically do this equation and it’s usually pretty accurate: weight x distance x .33 Also, if you typically walk a lot during your work day I’d suggest including that in your activity level instead as exercise (if its consistent). I have my activity…
