I agree also but how do I average the weekly??

I like this idea.

Fri wld be the day I splurge so I wld have the extra 1200 on Fri & that wld be plus 1500 correct?

Lightly active is per mfp..scooby calculator (tdee) goes by hrs u wrk out and my range wld be 1-3 hrs. So it wld still put me at abt 1700 a day

yes

per http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ my tdee to maintain is 2196 bmr is 1597 tdee-20% is 1757 that is with me being 58 inches (4ft 10), 193 lbs, 1-3 hrs exercise a week, macros at 40% carb, 30% protein and 30% fat & 35 yrs old So with tdee-20% I was told to eat over bmr of 1597 and close to tdee-20% of 1757…

& for me, YES this is no form of a diet. it is definitely a lifestyle change & another reason why I feel once a week I can splurge sometimes.

I loved tdee-20% method but at 1700 calories, that just seems like a lot of food for me when I have so much to lose.

I will not stop my splurge on Friday's. I am human so I want to have one day where I can splurge a little and have a drink if I want to. The drinks are not every Fri but 2 out of a month I may have 1 or 2 at the most recently which is a BIG improvement from my past.

Thanks! :) I do plan on having the protein afterwards but before is my concern.

Hi there new friend. It all depends on what you like. You can eat yogurts, nuts, light popcorn, add more fruits and veggies, etc...Start of with that in place of a 1/2 snicker and crackers. :)

I was starving on 1300 so how do you all make it with 1200? I have so wanted to try 1200 because I am 4'10 @193 lbs currently. I have lost 35.5 lbs but have like 40 to goal so I am thinking 1200 would be better for me but GEEZ I was soooo hungry at 1300 and just tired and weak all the time..Advice?

You should be SOOOO proud! Omg you have come so far and done amazing!! Keep going for those like us that are watching you and that you are motivating. You are letting me know it CAN be done! U go girl!

Group #1 (high carb, low fat, low protein) burnt the least amount of calories (300 calories less that Group 3) and did not lose as much weight as the other two groups." Cld explain why I don't lose as good as I would like to! Thanks for this info! :)

I am not 195. I am 193 and I have used the tdee-20% tool for almost 3 mnths. & of course I know that I am overweight at 193 on a 4ft 10 frame so that is why I am on mfp. But ok thanks for all your input and replies! Have a great day ;)

If you factor your Tdee-20% at no activity then you need to eat back exercise calories but if you factor them in, then you do not eat them back.

I am not referring to the tdee maintenance calories. I am referring to the tdee with a deficit to lose weight.

Simple as: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/

& when I do exercise I burn maybe 150-200 in 30 min (can't do anymore right now due to medical issues)

my tdee-20% is 1753 with a Bmr of 1593 so I am told to eat over the 1593 and up to the 1753 but that just seems like a lot for someone at 193 lbs trying to lose weight..that is where I get confused & I dnt workout strenuous at all...but I like that the exercise level is calculated in the TDEE method I have even thought…

Great info! Thanks :)

yes, this I know BUT me being 4 ft 10 193 lbs I would think I would need less food not the 1700 that my tdee-20% is saying..I would think I would need more like 1400 or so because of how much I need to lose

I have never went by Mfp's calorie goals. Only tdee-20% and just my own thing
