  • If you haven't already, find out your BMR and set your calories to that amount, but add a deficit to that either 250 for 0.5lb loss a week or 500 calories for 1lb loss a week. Manually log your workouts to get an accurate reading of how much you are burning and how much you are supposed to be eating. Depending on when you…
  • Going over the amount of calories your body needs would result in weight gain. Your TDEE is the amount calories you burn doing everyday things, depending on how active you are. So you would need to eat less than your TDEE to lose weight. Just make sure your TDEE is accurate though.

  • Lol, I guess a lot of people will have to reduce the amount of PB on there bananas. I'm currently eating 2380 calories, so 200 to 300 is a snack for me whereas a meal can range from 600 to 700 calories >.<
  • Lol when I made it, everyone was like, "That looks disgusting." My Mom decided to try it and she really likes it. The others don't like peanut butter so... Will definitely try this next time.
  • If you are having trouble, try switching to Semi Skimmed or Whole Milk. Add some meat to these workout snacks. The protein will be good for you. Depending on how you are cooking the onions and peppers, try adding olive oil. Contains healthy fats and should shoot your calories up by about 40 odd per 5ml. You really need to…
  • Maybe some people react to it differently?? Maybe it depends on what macros you are currently putting into your body and then suddenly change those macros completely with just one meal?? I eat a diet that consists of 35/30/35 (C/P/F), so it's pretty balanced. I hadn't had takeaways, fast food or anything like that for many…
  • 3 Whole Eggs 1 Bell Pepper 1/4 Medium Sized Onion 50g of Mushrooms 30ml of Skimmed Milk That was made into an Omelette. 2 Turkey Sausage 100g of Chicken Breast 100g of Baked Beans I enjoy a big breakfast and it tides me over till lunch.
  • There are some fruits and veggies that I don't like. Like a salad, I just don't really enjoy eating them. They are quite boring. I enjoy other fruits and veg though like: Broccoli Cauliflower Carrots Asparagus Zucchini Cucumber Celery Bananas Grapes Cherries Kiwi Apple Orange Pineapple Lettuce Bell Peppers Tomatoes…
  • Because you are working out 4 to 5 times a week, you will need to eat more for a healthy weight loss and to prepare yourself for when you do lose the weight. You don't want to be eating so little and then go to maintenance calories and struggle to get anywhere near it. I think the best of doing it is, finding out your TDEE…
  • I usually have 3 whole eggs a day. Today was an exception, we only had two eggs left. My brother used two egg yolks last night and kept the 2 egg whites in a container in the fridge, so I used those with the two eggs, but usually 3 whole eggs and whatever egg whites are left over from someone else.
  • I'm not saying your method is wrong, everybody does it differently, but I think it can cause problems when someone is so used to eating at such a low amount, especially under 1000 calories. I see it leading to a life of failure because once she gets to her goal weight, she would have to consume at least 1700 calories if…
  • I see it as maybe getting too much sodium and not enough fluids. You also mentioned you said you aren't losing at all this week, does this indicate that you are weighing yourself everyday or something?? If so, it isn't going to do much for you because weight loss is a slow process, unless you are seriously overweight and…
  • If you can get some Dumbbells and a Barbell, you will really benefit from it. It might cost you a bit more upfront, but you can do it in the comfort of your own home and it's there when you need to use them. With a gym, you are sharing the equipment and you will most likely have to wait for people to stop using the…
  • Tea and water are the only liquids that count towards my water intake. I have about 3 cups of tea a day, no sugar. The rest is water which can be like 9 or 10 glasses. If I ever do have alcohol or diet fizzy drinks, I don't count them as water. They are more of a treat.
  • 620 is fine to be honest. Depending on how much you eat throughout the day, you should try and balance it out and eat multiple times throughout the day to help get over that hunger. My meals range from 350 calories to 700+ at times in the same day. It will be different for everyone else because everyone is eating different…

  • I am currently eating at 35/30/35 (C/P/F). I usually go over on my protein even at these percentages and stay under my carb goal.
  • I can understand both sides of the argument. The beans and the tomatoes would be consider two of your five a day, regardless of how much sugar, salt and fat that is in the product. It still contains two portions of fruit or veg. If you were to buy this product, but only ate the beans and tomatoes, would you still not count…
  • I just couldn't get acquired to the taste of Almond Milk. I've tried Soy Milk which I really enjoyed, but I heard it can mess with your hormones or something, so I stopped drinking it. I'm a dude whose most likely still going through puberty, so I don't really want to mess it up anymore than it probably is already lol. So…
    in Almond Milk? Comment by Zichu July 2012
  • By the looks of it, you aren't looking to lose a huge amount of weight, so you should take this slow and only lose a small amount each week. Like 0.5lb or 1lb at the most. So if your TDEE is 1945, you would have to eat around 1695 calories to lose 0.5lb a week. For some people, eating a small amount works for them, but you…
  • One thing, for those of you who are a bit confused, these foods aren't going actually increase your muscle mass or anything. You need to lift weights and follow a good program to be able to build muscle mass and strength, these foods will help in the repairing process after you have torn your muscles after said workouts.
  • I just read that you should consume no more than 10% of saturated fats of your total calorie intake, then rest of the fat should be unsaturated fats. So your intake is 1380, 10% of that is 138 calories, divide it by 9 which is about 15g of saturated fat. So say if you had a 30% fat intake you should get at least 31g of…
  • You will only gain weight if you were to consume more than your TDEE.
  • I'm on "The Lifetime" diet. Eat within your TDEE, do some weight lifting, maybe a bit of cardio, treat yourself once in a while and enjoy life. The good thing is, it lasts a life time.
  • I remember I used to go through a half a packet or even a full packet of maryland cookies, bourbons, custard creams or chocolate fingers. I'm surprised I've come to a point where I can control myself.
  • I drink around 8 cups of water a day, and 3 or 4 mugs of tea. So you might think I would pee a lot at night, I drink 2 mugs of tea on the night and usually have a pint of water. Within an hour, I've already gone to the loo and it's pretty much gone. So I get a good nights sleep. You could try drinking less so late at night…
  • I would usually go for two if I were to have a biscuit. I actually had some biscuits on Tuesday, hadn't had any for so many months, I just don't crave that kind of stuff anymore. I can have them without feeling the urge to pig out and uncontrollably eat them. The reason I some biscuits was because we were visiting our…
  • As long as your are within you calorie goal, you aren't going to gain weight. If your protein goal is set to MFPs default value, then it is pretty low anyway. I try to aim for 30% and I still go over lol.
  • Sometimes I am abit lazy on nights when logging and usually leave some of it and log in the next morning for the night before. This typically happens if i went over... "You can fool me, but you cant fool yourself." - dad
