hypothetical- maintenance = 2500 daily goal for 2lb/week weight loss = 1500 If every day is 1500, you are at a 7000 calorie deficit, in 26 weeks you would lose 52 pounds If 6 days are at 1500, and 1 day is at 3000, you are at a 5500 calorie deficit, in 26 weeks you would lose 41 pounds. So yes, by virtue of simple math,…

Exactly, without cheat days you'd have done better. The fact that the cheat day may or may not have warded off a binge is intangible and irrelevant data, thus does not apply.

A sample size of 1 is not scientific data.

How in the world can you say eating more calories than normal doesn't set you back in the long run? If you ate 1000 over for a meal, that's 1000 more you have to make up the other 6 days to get to the same point you would if you didn't have the cheat meal. That IS setting you back in the long run. Simple math is simple. A…

seems about right, my base is 212g a day without exercise, with exercise it can get as high as 285g protein required.

I really wish people would educate themselves about cholesterol. Eating cholesterol raises your cholesterol.. is a MYTH. Plain and simple. NO CORRELATION!

Dietary cholesterol doesn't raise blood cholesterol levels. It may however, help your LDL profile, and you can eventually get off your meds.

Disagree completely. Most people go way over on the carbs they need, and way under on the protein they need. We are over energized and under nourished as a country. You also do not need to spend a ton of money on whey for it to be effective or even taste good. EAS is 20 a tub, and their chocolate is better than GNC's, or…

Your feet will even look bigger as you lose weight..

well you told me but I would have said early 30's

I use fitnessblender's youtube channel for hiit routines.

just check the right box for your activity level. Lightly active, moderately active, active.. MFP will account for that

Work your traps and lats. You need to offset the look by building around it. Shoulder shrugs like crazy, lying pullovers, pull ups, even direct neck exercises depending on how you feel about those.

Eat back the calories if you are hungry. You can always use a heart rate monitor to be accurate for calories.

Good job getting back into it! Exercise makes you want to make good decisions too.

Yes, if you are really that sore, your muscles are holding a lot of water. You'll flush it as they repair and get used to the vigorous activity again. Water weight can vary a lot. It's important not to look at the scale every day early on in a new program. your body has to adapt. You know you're doing the right things.…

You will gain weight on a bulk. Some muscle, some fat, and some water weight. If you are eating t a surplus enough for your muscles to grow, you are going to have extra to store. That's the fat. You'll lose a lot of definition from the water retention. It's unavoidable and you'll start to look softer. You'll get most of it…

I'm going to go cliche here..

That is 128 to 384 oz of water a day. I lost a ton of weight round my midsection. I attribute a big part of not having loose skin there to my constant high water intake.

I drink between 1 and 3 gallons of water a day. That's 16 to 48 cups per day. I carry a gallon jug around with me at almost all times. I refill it when empty.

When you meet "the one" you'll do whatever it takes to give it a chance. For love, anything is worth a chance.
