Same problem happens to me, super annoying. I will suddenly have like 300 less calories available for the day, go to the diary and find out it duplicated a meal for unknown reasons. It is very frustrating, and if you aren't diligent in double checking (or quad checking like @nozomiww lol) then you can easily over eat...…

Dang dude lol I had to Google a couple of those words. I agree, I think the difference between them is negligible. Totally agree, and was told, exercise/food/water will affect the results. I tried to make it as controlled as possible, knowing there would inevitably be variables that differ. RENPRO is set to Normal Mode. I…

I considered (obviously) the BodyScan to be the more accurate machine. I really just wanted to see how close the RENPHO was to accurate. I honestly expected there to be more deviation, especially in the body fat area. Your BMI/BMR point makes total sense, I didn't really think about HOW those are calculated lol.

Thanks!

@AnnPT77 no worries, I appreciate it!

@kshama2001 I should mention, not USA, I am Canadian. Yeah, my experience mirrors your own with the dietitian. Not really impressed. I was referred there specifically for help lowering my cholesterol, which spiked from a medication. Nothing about cholesterol was talked about, instead they looked back through my records and…

Thank you to everyone else that has been giving real suggestions or advice <3

Dude, what is your problem? You have been consistently attacking this point. I measure and weigh everything. The cream in my coffee. The salsa on my eggs. The olive oil I put in the pan. How many times do I need to say this? Literally the only thing I don't log is water and medication pills. I log it every day. Is there…

@tomcustombuilder @sollyn23l2 @Retroguy2000 I am military, so that dietitian is the one I get. I was honestly there for a separate issue which was mostly ignored by the dietitian, and instead was given a bunch of unsolicited advice on the diet stuff lol. I assume the dietitian was referring to "starvation mode", which from…

@ddsb1111 I actually had an appointment with a dietician yesterday. It was a follow up, so she measured my waist and noted I had lost just over an inch since just before Christmas. So I do think things are happening. She also mentioned my 1800 and said if I am not seeing weight loss within another week or two to try…

@ddsb1111 I have maintained 1800 cal/day for three weeks in two days, to be accurate as possible. I have had two days where I didn't log and accepted them as "cheat days" because I had to go out of town and didn't have foresight to prep travel meals. I didn't go absolutely crazy, I just didn't track and tried to eat…

@nossmf No worries haha, I take nothing here personally. Everyone is trying to help. I consider the cal/lb idea that @Retroguy2000 mentioned as definitely another tool in the toolbox. For me personally, to maintain at 15 cal per lb @ 222lbs puts me at 3330 cals, which I think I was eating less than before I started…

@AnnPT77 thank you for the insight! I will definitely check out that strength resource. Regarding the 1800-2000, I completely agree with you. To clarify, I am trying to be as accurate to 1800 as I can be, just with the knowledge that between miscalculations and variations in the nutritional info, I might end up being…

The math has been a big one for me so far. My problems were that I didn't know how much I was overeating, how much I should be eating, and the difference between WANT and NEED. I am a logic reasoning person, this is typical of systems that work for me. It helps me hold myself accountable. I don't know why someone would…

That is excellent advice. While I have felt great so far, I don't want to burn myself out. Lord knows I have had dreams of dancing donairs lol I will definitely re-evaluate around the 3 month mark and give myself a break/reward.

Thank you for that calculator, it is great! Yeah, I am looking at a 700 cal deficit according to that calculator, not including my weight sessions, so probably around 1000 on the days I do work out. I have been on this intake so far for three weeks and haven't had any hiccups yet, so I feel like I should be able to…

I will check that out, thank you! I don't eat back my exercise calories so it is more just curiosity for me.

Fair enough. I honestly have no idea how many cals weights burn, but it did seem high. I also don't eat the "exercise" calories from the weights, I just log them. I have found dropping to the 1800-2000 cal range that I am not hungry (maybe a little peckish right before supper), but more so that I want to snack and eat out…

I just made the switch from Blueberry Activia to High Protein Plain Greek Yogurt Liberte. The taste grows on you? I won't be this sad forever? lol

Overnight Oats might be too carby for you, but you could also have them once in a while to change up the monotony of your eggs. It keeps me very full until at least lunch. Just put it all in a container the night before in the fridge and it is ready, fast and easy, by morning. I keep things pretty simple: 0.5 Cup Rolled…
