There is no magic to intermittent fasting. Your progress or lack of it will be determined by your overall weekly calorie consumption and not meal timing. If it helps you take fewer calories overall then it’s worth it. If not, then you’re wasting your time. Vitamins are fine during the fasting period.

context?

people have this misunderstanding about extra muscle and calorie burn. A pound of muscle burns around 6-8 calories a day at rest. Maybe you slightly more during exercise.

early loss won’t happen. Fat loss is a product of a consistent calorie deficit over time and there is no way to override that so the sooner you realize that the better off you will be

Look at multiple entries for the same quantity of a certain food. If one is way higher or lower then it’s probably inaccurate. If there is a food that you’re going to be consistently eating it’s incredibly important to make sure that you get that entry correct. You can go outside of the app to different websites and double…

It can cause you to be more active with things like fidgeting or a little bit more movement which will burn calories, people usually mistake increase movement for increased metabolism

You can’t just burn belly fat alone, it will come off in time. You have to just keep dieting down. If you don’t have trouble losing weight it will eventually come off, but there’s really no way you can target it.

Then in those cases there is most likely no method that will be remotely accurate with gauging body fat.

Those or OK as supplements to more protien dense low calorie lean meats and fish.

that’s quite the exception.

None of those are gonna be remotely accurate plus body fat percentage is really a useless number when it comes down to it. Everybody carries fat differently so what would be say 15% for one person would look completely different at 15% on another person. The best thing to do is look in the mirror if you need to lose fat,…

You don’t have to nail, your macros perfectly be more concerned with your overall calories

It doesn’t work like that you need to stick with the program for 4 to 6 weeks to see if it’s going to be successful for you or not. One day means absolutely nothing. You still have water moving around and it will continue for awhile

Some food a couple hours before training and some food after training. This isn’t rocket science so don’t make it complicated

why is your reasoning for doing this type of fast?

yes I like to go back to when loss was optimal and see what the calories and macros were saying. No need to pay for premium. I had 20 years of data on another app when they went off line and that sucked.

Lol, I need to be able to see daily what my average is. Will that extra burrito today screw up my weekly numbers.

Maybe yours is different. Mine only goes Sunday to Sunday and you can only see the last 2 weeks if weekly amounts.

The PC version doesnt have it. Mobil does. I have to use my phone or ipad to see it. It's under the NUTRITION tab.

for best results rethink your position on lifting. You won’t add muscle (weight) and you don’t have to lift heavy or hard, just enough to maintain current muscle. Deficit with no resistance training is a recipe for a good amount of muscle loss which has a big impact on body composition

most people don’t know about that tab. Lol, I always hate to press it on Monday mornings

Don’t try. You’re wasting your time. You’ll never be accurate enough to get it even close. Most weight sessions are around 200-300 calories burned so just log something like that and be done with it. There are too many variables to get any closer.

It takes 4-6 weeks to determine the effect that a certain calorie amount will have. 1 week and you’re still in the process of water shifting around masking and real fatloss. Give it more time. IF is not an automatic fatloss tool. Fatloss is a product of a consistent weekly calorie deficit over time and not tied to any…

Your weekly calories are what to look at. Add up 7 days of calories and divide by 7.if this number is at or below your daily calorie target you’re ok.

Getting an accurate calorie count is important however probably equally or even more so is actually logging everything you consume that has calories every day consistently

How long have you stalled?

At your stats you want to focus on fatloss and muscle retention. A decent weekly calorie deficit and a proven lifting program. Protein wise for you, figure your target weight and go with around .8 grams per pound.

When some has medical conditions an Internet forum is not the place to be asking for dieting direction. A GP doctor is probably also not a good choice.work with a registered dietician with the experience and credentials to properly guide you.

Unless you're a serious powerlifter belts are counterproductive 99% of the time.

What is your weight, and height and how much fat are you carrying ?
