Then make an educated guess based on similar data log entries.

Raw is much more accurate

Your fatloss will be predominantly from diet. Exercise helps to a point. Fasting is completely unnecessary. If you simply eliminate or minimize ultra processed carbs (junk food), liquid calories and any alcohol, you’ll start seeing big changes. Once you start losing your self esteem will go through the roof. You can start…

50 lbs lost means lowered calorie needs, probably more than you’ve already lowered. For some, it can be 100 calories per 10 lbs lost. 50 lbs lost is a LOT so great work! To illustrate how much more energy it takes to carry around 50 lbs, grab a pair of 25 lb kettlebells and walk around for awhile. The more active you are…

Look for a data entry for skin on, cooked chicken thigh. Weigh it before eating then weigh the bones after you're done and subtract the difference

No

Your inital loss was water. Stick to a certain weekly calorie amount for 4-6 weeks to see the true effect of that amount

With that much weight to lose you want the scale to be going down. There may be some muscle gain however fat pounds should be being shred more than muscle is being gained. Always keep record of your waist measurement at the navel as this will tell you if you are losing fat or not. An inch there either lost or gainded…

What’s your height and weight?

You'll most likey need surgery. Subacromial Decompression and tissue repair. Talk to an ortho surgeon about it and not people on a message board.

That’s a misconception with farmers walks. They don’t have to be super heavy, people see these YouTube videos of guys walking with 300 pounds and that isn’t necessary at all. Long walks with 30 pounds each side is plenty. There are two ways to do farmers walks short walks, heavy or long walks with lighter, with the latter…

You may want to think about just using a high quality whey powder instead it will also be a lot less expensive. Your stuff even though low in calories has half the protein as a good whey so you could use a half scoop of that and get the same amount of protein however these supplements are just that, supplements. Real food…

Any good whey protein powder will do the same just be careful as there are calories in those things so it’s easy to go overboard. You’d do better getting your protein from food sources like beef and chicken and fish though.

Walking is fine with a pack however I prefer farmers walks carrying either dumbbells or kettlebells. Better for core, shoulders and almost everything except chest.

That’s fine however fat loss is a product of a consistent weekly calorie deficit over time. Exercise contributes to that however your weekly calorie intake is key. You need to be burning more calories than you consume. Most calories are burned at rest and doing daily non exercise activities

Table pushbacks and fork putdowns. You lose fat by creating a consistent weekly calorie deficit. Exercise can be a component of that however your diet will determine whether a calorie deficit is being created. Any type of exercise you enjoy will always be beneficial. If you're sedentary during the day definitely exercise…

Your results with the app are only as good as the data you put into it -is your weekly calorie counting correct? -are you using the proper food entries? -are you using the proper activity level selection? -if you're eating back exercise calories are you being accurate? You'll know after 4-6 weeks how your equation is…

Bottom line is with the proper food choices you can be in a deficit without hunger. The less fat you carry and with a steep enough deficit then yes hunger will probably be a factor but that isn’t sustainable so for anyone not in contest prep it’s not probably not the way to go.

Since I train from 4 to 5 pm my post workout is wine.

Don't worry about natural sugars just keep ultra processed carbs (sugar) to a minimum. This recent demonization of sugar is comical.

Don't figure macros as percentages, look at them in grams. Set protein at around .7 gram per lb of your target weight, fat around .35G and fill the rest of your calories with whatever you want.

Solid beginner program like Fierce 5.

It will vary depending on what the knee and back issues are. If someone is overweight, losing weight is the best thing for both.

Calculating what will put you in a calorie deficit is strictly a starting point in your quest to lose fat and that is not going to guarantee you’re in an actual deficit. The only way to know is if you’re losing after 4-6 weeks go by and you’ve lost, or not.

Do any of the above and review progress or lack of it in 4-6 weeks. There are too many variables in these equations to give an accurate answer.

Correct After a lengthy period of a lot of exercise and very low calories you’re going to look worse before you look better. Your body is in a big caloric deficit. Your body retains water and you’ll look soft and fat—this even happens to pros. This is why you want to add calories back in at the end and back off of the…

The only time I eat those things is if I'm on a road trip. Then those bars are a go to while driving. They are not meant to be a daily staple.

A calorie deficit is the difference between calories expended throughout the day and calories consumed. If the prior is larger than the latter then you're in a calorie deficit, for that day at least. Fatloss happen when you do that consistently. There are many equations to calculate this however there are many factors in…

Anti inflammatory diet, tumeric being a big help.
