Partly because the statements are broadly but not universally true. The problem is they are worded so vaguely. You cannot build significant additional muscle without a calorie surplus. However your body actually breaks down and builds new muscle all the time (hopefully making it more efficient). So depending on your…

Only when I'm on vacation. In which case I'm probably eating a late breakfast and will have a light lunch (or skip it). Normally I don't eat breakfast and have been doing that since highschool. I find I'm not very hungry early in the morning and all that happens if I do eat breakfast at that time, is it makes me want to…

I never bother with the friends list anyway. Doesn't serve any purpose for me.

That's all right. I'll never be a photographer and take photos like some of the ones I see the professionals post. But I enjoy the hobby so I keep doing it. Do you enjoy running? If you do then keep going. If not, well there are lots of other activities.

Since we only have a minimal description of what happened and the worst thing was... a "weird look" I'm inclined to say it's more in your head than in anything else. Since you're new had you considered they might be concerned that you had some particular diet requirements they hadn't catered to? We've had that issue in the…

Okay so let's put the panic attack aside and look at the facts. - As others have mentioned there aren't enough calories in that pizza to add more than 2/3rds of a pound in fat to you. - If it's weighing on your mind you can easily add and extra bit of exercise to the rest of the week to cancel most of it out. - When you…

Read up on the scientific method some time. You're doing it wrong.

I expect my lunch and dinner to be at least 800 calories a piece...

I have found FitBit's estimates on walking to be pretty damn accurate so I would go with that number.

I'd say that unless you're the sort of person who is very good at visualizing their numbers or has a program to do it for them so that you are aware each day how much over/under target you are and what your average for the rest of the period should be... then you will likely lose track and end up significantly over. Most…

I sit in a cube and my job is primarily results based. So long as things happen by the date they need to happen, no one cares about 5 minute walks. These things are always job dependent. I was simply illustrating a way that being lightly active throughout the day could work.

From a weight loss perspective it won't matter a damn. If your aim is simply weight loss, then you're good. If your aim is 200 pushups or bench pressing a certain amount, or running a mile in 4 minutes... you're good. But fitness and health (which are a horribly vague terms) encompass a variety of other things. It's hard…

As I understand it, the theory is more that you can't make up for a day's worth of inactivity purely with 30 minutes of heavy activity in the evening. It would be better if you were able to achieve regular periods of light to moderate activity throughout the day. Which is why I, for example, take a walking break every hour…

Hassleback potatoes.... delicious Because of the way they are cut they get crispier than regular roast potatoes.

You two do realize this was posted under Fitness and Exercise not weight loss, right?

There isn't going to be a universal answer to this. There are too many variables from person to person for the burn to be accurate in that way. It will be closer for some than for others.

I'm not getting into the aspect of whether it's good or bad to cosleep. But basically the only solution to this (not miraculous, usually quite painful at first) is to be consistent. If she's to be in her bed in her own room when at Dad's then he has to stick to that rule every night, not every night except when he's worn…

Math says you're consuming more than you think. A 180lb male consuming only 900 calories a day on average cannot possibly only be losing 1lb a week.

MFP's figure is simply an estimate. It may be too high. I would suggest moving your calories up about 100 at a time and trying that out for a month. Stop when you start to gain weight and drop back to the figure where you didn't gain weight. As someone has previously noted you can put in custom goals in MFP, you don't have…

My tastes haven't changed at all. I see posts like this and wonder if I'm existing in some parallel world; very lucky; or if some of the reported side effects are a placebo effect. - Exercise did not miraculously give me loads more energy - My tastes haven't changed - Eating greasy or sugary food doesn't make me sick now -…

It strikes me that people are using the word hungry in very different ways. To me being hungry doesn't mean "I could eat." It means "my body is telling me I need to eat." So no you really I shouldn't be hungry on a regular basis.

How long is a piece of string? How "bad" it is really depends on how many calories you consume. But while it may cause a blip in your weight loss plans unless you're doing this every week (and birthdays usually happen only once a year) it's really no big deal.

Aim for zero. If you see red it's a bonus, but you don't have t get that.

Ideally (if you have set your goals appropriately and your estimates are good) you should have either 0 to -150 (rough range) in next to Calories Remaining on MFP.

If you've started gaining weight again then by far the most likely explanation is that you're not actually at a 500 calorie deficit any more. That could be for a few reasons: - At 266 lbs your BMR will be significantly less than it was at 377 or even 327 and that could cut into your deficit - You are getting less exercise…

No.

If it's dry it has been overcooked. Just like most forms of cooking.

My personality type doesn't like "surprises" so basically routine always works better for me. There are variations built into my routines, but generally for lunch I'll have the same thing for a week then move to something different and for dinners we have certain days, like Wednesday we eat pasta and Saturday is pizza…

Water temperature doesn't matter. Drink it the way you like it. There is no advantage to "over hydration" Any number you see online BS. There are too many factors including exercise level, temperature and diet (moisture in your food is fluid intake) to give a single number like that. If you're thirsty drink. If your pee is…

Eat less. Exercise more. Problem solved.
