[/quote] You keep bringing up that you are a Dietitian as your argument, which I feel is being petty. If you really didn't care so much, you wouldn't be here saying that you are a dietitian in every reply. Since you care so much about your status, I posted a link and quote below from a Dietition who has said the exact…

Okay, I found some research to what you might be referring too. I don't have access to the entire paper, just the abstract. It's the Thermogenic Effect of Food or the negative calorie diet. Deals with research on how many calories your body requires to process food. From my understanding of the abstract and other…

We have another Dietition, Texas Registered, who visits the forums once in a while to answer questions and he doesn't agree with your assessment. You can refer to the link below to his section but maybe you know something that he doesn't? Could you maybe describe what part of the metabolism revs up when you eat breakfast?…

Is starvation mode taught in high school biology or something? Every few mins we get someone preaching it even though I don't remember a single mention of starvation mode when I learned about cell metabolism in freshman biology. Aerobic respiration, anerobic respiration, Krebs cycle, beta oxidation and such were the…

I believe the people who can run on concrete have a normal arch. I can't jog on concrete because I have flat feet. I get knee pain after a few miles. I jog 4 miles a day here.

I've answered this in the other thread so this is just a copy and paste answer below with some revisions but it's the same for the most part. If you continue to run through your pain, it can become permanent with the only relief being surgery. Takes a real stubborn individual to destroy your legs that way though. Don't run…

Do you have a link to the study? I'm going go go out on an limb and assume that the research was funded by some company who has a financial gain in the breakfast market. I could be completely wrong of course but I'm just more interested in seeing what they found. :)

Starting your first meal at 3 or 4pm is intermittent fasting. :)

These guys don't eat breakfast and they seem pretty fit. They eat a late lunch and dinner. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emImqsdov6s

You are in a good position to try something out since you exercise late at night. We know that HGH proteins are produced after exercise and during your sleep. HGH proteins burn fat. If you eat too many carbs, your insulin level spikes and inhibits HGH proteins. Try to eat before you exercise and just go to bed if you have…

Myfitnesspal already uses the TDEE method and it's more accurate. The difference is when your exercise calories are calculated. Exercise from myfitnesspal is calculated after you do it on a daily basis. Random website TDEE calculators assume your TDEE is the same every day and it includes your exercise before you do it. Go…

You seem to be missing the point or maybe you just don't know? I'll try and keep it simple as there are a lot of factors that come into play. People call it carb cycling but i just call it basic biology. Most people who binge, will binge on carbs like chips, donuts, or icecream in the case of the OP. Now, we know that…

I know that south Koreans take their weight seriously. Can't get a job there if you're overweight.

Are you Asian? I couldn't tell. :) What are you ranting about though?

She didn't exercise so it's closer to 800.

Eat little to no carbs to make up for your bad day. Protein and vegetables are fine.

You are getting more calories in TDEE calculators because they account for exercise before you do it which makes myfitnesspal more accurate. Go to options, set it to 1 pound per week, and eat all of your exercise calories back. That should be extremely close to TDEE-20%. So stop confusing yourself and just use MFP. .

She most likely will not listen to you if she already has her mind set. What you could do is introduce her to bodybuilding.com. They have a section dedicated to teens and lots of women there are gorgeous. She'll see beautiful women and follow there advice.

I agree. Your TDEE is different every day which is why myfitnesspal is more accurate.

Myfitnesspal uses a TDEE calculator. The difference is when you plug in exercise, which makes myfitnesspal more accurate. Stop confusing yourself and just use myfitnesspal.

I think I see what you are doing wrong. TDEE stands for total daily energy expenditure. Assuming you went to a random website or found the TDEE formula somewhere, you should know that it already includes exercise calories. You added an additional 400 calories over your TDEE, which is the wrong way to calculate your deficit.

I agree with the estimation comment. Everything we do here is a numbers guessing game. You are without a doubt overestimating something. The only fact we know for sure is that your weight has been the same for over a month which means your eating at maintenance, fact. If you want to eat every day and still lose weight at a…

The eat more to lose weight is a marketing scheme to promote a website. Don't get caught up in the hype. Nothing is wrong with their program but you need to understand that their goal is to make you lose at a modest deficit which can sometimes cause you to overestimate how much you should be eating. You have to have a…

Sounds like your eating at maintenance. One extremely low cal day and one maintenance day is fine and healthy.

You're amusing, as you are the primary hater. I scanned through the comments and you deliberately made comments at three size 0 girls. Something along the lines of "you shouldn't be on this website" or "you angry as use to be 45 pounds". Just because you're way past your prime at 47, don't hate on young beautiful women. .

What are the rules of this fast? I know Catholics can eat a little bit when they fast, just don't know what they can eat. To answer your question though, you'll lose a lot of weight. If you are overweight, you should lose fast. I'm assuming this is the first time doing something this extreme? If you fall low on…

Exercise is calculated daily with MFP. When you go to a random website, you are plugging in your exercise before you even do it.

They already do.

This is an amusing thread. Seems like there are some size 12 girls hating on size zero girls. I'm not going to lie, I find size 0 girls to be most attractive.

If your metabolism is slow, it's because you lost some muscle mass. Nothing is wrong with your cells ability to create ATP for energy when burning fat or carbs. If you want to raise your metabolism, build more muscle and be more active. Basically eat more protein and lift some weights. That is your only option. The girl…
