I'm not exactly seeing your issue - are you saying there's no way you walk 17k steps? I'm work in an office and I have little problem hitting 10k steps on work days. If I were on my feet all day, 17k wouldn't be much of a stretch.

Well, if you aren't eating carbs, you're only other alternatives are fats and proteins.

Of course he can give you exercises to fix what's not wrong with you for an exorbitant amount of money. :s

At the very least you're maintaining the muscle you have - that's something to be proud about, no?

Helpful for what, exactly?

No. 1 oz of spinach has approx. 1 g of protein. 1 oz of steak has approx. 7.6 g of protein.

I once thought I was invincible and, idiot that I was, played a round of squash after giving blood. I ended up passing out on the court. You would probably be fine with some light exercise, but I'm still going to suggest that you take the day.

The average human head weighs 10 lbs but I'm assuming you wish to keep yours.

My guess is that they are feeling secretly judged. Given your post, it looks like those feelings are largely justified.

I just use my HRM and eat back maybe a quarter of the calories it says I burn. I'm losing so that means I'm still eating at a deficit. The reason I record the full calorie burn is psychological - I feel I've worked my butt off and recording the calories my HRM says I've burned is my pat on the back. ;)

Strength training? Water retention in the muscles would be my bet.

Moderate exercise still burns calories which is what weight loss is all about yes? Burn more calories than you eat? Eat fewer calories than you burn?

Don't know what to tell ya - I guess I'm just lucky like that. ;)

Nope, drug-free.

Not in a week, in a few weeks - like 5?

Protein does not help you lose weight. It will help you maintain muscle as you do lose weight (coupled with strength training). I aim for 1g of protein per pound of lean mass (not total weight).

Just checked - mine's public.

I measure my biceps - they've grown an inch in the past few weeks. My thighs? Also getting bigger. I do fall into the newbie gains and, given that I didn't have a lot to lose to begin with, I'm going to ride those gains into my first lean bulk. :grin:

Less sugar? I tend to stick to natural sweeteners because the artificial ones (along with stevia and agave) leave a really crappy aftertaste.

Meal timing only matters if having too long (or too short) of a break between meals is going to make you consume more calories overall. It's individual and total calories consumed is the deciding factor.

Like a feral cat.

Cookie dough and raspberry and white chocolate are my favourites

Well, yes there are different protein powders for men and women but it's purely a marketing ploy to get women to spend more money on pink packaging.

Alone? Diet. But why would you choose one over the other when, working in combination, they are both so effective?

Sports bras will give you uniboob - something that is typically frowned upon in day-to-day fashion. ;)

1.5 lbs? I would chalk it up to water retention. I can 'gain' that much from one day to the next.

I see this all the time at MFP and I don't get it. If I burn 500 calories, that's an increase in my deficit and, therefore, an increase in my weight loss. For me, weight loss is a combination of diet and exercise. Now, sure, people could sit on their butts all day and still lose weight if they were eating at a deficit but…

Breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch and dinner. Without that mid-morning snack, I'd be a raving lunatic until noon.

No - it's got to be a glitch. MFP bottoms out at 1200 calories. I would try again.

I just weigh the banana with the skin and log that. What's the downside? So I'm eating fewer calories than I've logged - so what?
