If your trying to lose weight and you eat at your BMR and don't exercise your going to maintain weight. If you want to lose weight without exercise you have to eat below your BMR. That's why if you enter in you exercise it will up your calories, carbs, proteins and fats. Once you start exercising it's more of your TDEE…

Congrats on turning something that could have been destructive into something constructive. How do you post pictures?

I don't keep it in the house, or if it is I put it somewhere, where it will take more work than it's worth to get.

It is. I had thought I had asked to see if her doctor could refer her to a RD or nutritionist for better guidance, but I guess I forgot to do it in my sleep deprived nature. Most of my professors stated doctors get very minimal nutrition training (maybe 1 or 2 courses). I myself only net a few hundred calories a day and I…

I hope I'm answering this correctly but Im still half asleep but if your still confused don't hesitate to ask for more information. I was just going based off the information she gave me, so I combined her BMR and the 1600 calories (which I'm assuming is from exercise) to estimate her TDE to be 4259. I actually ran it…

I don't think carbs are evil, right now the majority of my carbs are coming from fruits and vegetables, where I eat at least one at each meal. When I was in school (to get my nutrition degree) my common breakfast was a coke and poptarts---that was ssssoooo bad for me. I've just tried so many things to lose weight, and I…

Well you see what-had-happened was, I did something stupid and ended up breaking my ankle, found out almost 2 months later (when the cast came off) I also ripped my ACL in half and tore the cartilage in my knee. I had knee surgery but the recovery process has been very slow and my knee still isn't strong enough. Whenever I…

Honestly, if my dog didn't like someone I would definitely have second thoughts. Um the lamest excuse I got was I can't date you because I want to do an internship at my church and I think it'll be too hard to date you. His internship was 3 days a week. Funny enought the guy I started dating after him was in the military…

In order to lose 5 pounds a week you'd have to burn 17,500 calories a weeks, so 2500 calories a day. (3500 calories/lb). If your buring 1600 (I'm guessing that's from exercise) and 2659 from your BMR (the calories your body burns by you doing nothing). You should eat about 1700 calories a day (but try not to go lower than…

I'm trying to get out of my conventional food mindset, so I'm willing to try something different. I'm trying to get various idea's so I don't get bored. I don't do soups because they have sooo much sodium in them.

I saved the mini quiche's to check out later but I couldn't find the recipes on bodybuilding.com but I also didn't look that hard; I'll try again tom.

I'll try that at least once, if I like it maybe more lol.

Thank makes me feel inspired. I work out everyday and I can feel the muscle but it's the fat over it that's irritating me right now. I just have to remember to keep up with it and it wll come off.

I forgot about string cheese.

Oh I'm not exactly germaphob but I wipe down the equipment before and after I use it (many people don't clean the equipment at the gym and that's gross). I usually wipe my hands with the disinfectant cloth, but maybe I'll make a trip to the bath room.

I like natural PB with dark chocolate chips. Or you could use nuts with dark chocolate

I have 4, right now. My first one was a butterfly with 4 stars on my hip (it now has 5); each star represents someone who died that was close to me and the butterfly represents peace and tranquility they experience now. My 2nd one is greek for "know thyself." on my lower back. I got that one to constantly remind me to…

Today I ate some zucchini picked fresh out of the garden. I'll also have an apple with peanut butter later. I have my degree in nutrition and during all our class my professors said that canned food lacks the same nutrition as frozen/fresh because the cooking/canning process leaches out some of those nutrients. I don't eat…

Depended on the subject (like Genetics) but most of the time number 1. there were some subjects I never studied and I still did AWESOME (most basic courses, especially math).

I generally seem to lose weight during TOM. I work out harder and try to take diuretics before I start because I know if I don't I'll gain 3 pounds in fluid and it's all in that area right below my belly button.

Natural Peanut butter (its awesome with oatmeal) Boneless Skinless chicken breast Fresh fruit (mainly apples, for my peanut butter)

For my 21st birthday my friend took me to the Myrtles Plantation in Louisiana, it's suppose to be one of the most haunted places in america. I'm going to keep a long story short. I heard a cat meow like it was right under my foot (there are no cats in the house but one died way back when), I was standing in one of the…
