Check out shakeology. The girlfriend just bought some of the vegan chocolate and it's good. She just checked it says it's raw

Yes subtract the fiber you can't process it

Figure out your total daily energy expenditure (tdee) subtract 20% to check the mfp number a website like iifym.com has a calculator to use. That number does sound high.

You will go insane with no dietary fat in your diet. It's not a good idea. It will work to a point 1gram of fat is 9cals and carbs and protein are 4 call per gram. Protein and fat are necessary to a healthy diet. Carbs aren't a necessity

ON double chocolate whey is good

This. If they don't know what a macro is walk out.

read up on intermittent fasting.

All the keto info you need is here http://forum.bodybuilding.com/forumdisplay.php?f=61

well you should figure out your tdee. Since you gave no stats I cant figure it for you. take the tdee subtract 20% and eat that much daily. Track your calories through the day. If you are hungry often eat more vegetables, they are low in cals and fill you up. Cook for you and your bf instead of eating pizza. Skipping…

If you calculated your tdee with the correct activity multiplier then you should eat the tdee-20% everyday. Set your calories yourself and dont enter the exercise into mfp

You should consume 1g of protein per 1lb of lean body mass so im gonna assume 100grams of protein is not too much protein. Could be protein source. not the amount

IIFYM is legit. a calorie is a calorie. I wouldnt suggest eating a big mac daily but if it fits your macros and you dont feel like cooking eat it.

I dont know your stat but 1200 is prolly to low. Take your tdee subtract 20% and that what you should aim for daily. If mfp gives you more calories dont eat them. If I read your question right you have 650 left not 1k

Id rather go with the tdee you calculated not what mfp says. MFP isnt giving you your tdee, I think its giving you your bmr and when you add exercise it gives you calories to compensate for your tdee. So use the tdee you calculated is the easiest method

If you calculate the tdee yourself and set your calories to the figure what you calculated dont eat the calories back like it says.

coke is a helluva drug

Some could be water weight since you just started but you should figure your tdee and subtract 20% from that

You would lose weight. If you ate like crap but still hit your protein and fat macros you would be fine. Its call IIFYM-IF It Fits Your Macros

Yea the 2300 calories is your tdee-20% and Dont eat back calories from exercise logged. Try that for a few weeks and if its not working maybe the activity multiplier is off and recalculate your tdee

I dont know what kind of plan you were setting up for yourself but hitting protein and fat macro nutrient needs will be important especially if you add weight training and cardio. Macros Protein=200g=800 calories Fat=80g=720 calories I think if you atleast hit these macros then fill the other 700 calories with what ever…

height?activity level?

eat at a calorie deficit is the best "diet" you can be on. Calculate your tdee subtract 20% and you will lose weight

tdee-20%= healthy weight loss

If you are on a low carb diet and in a caloric deficit then you will lose fat. A calorie=calorie=calorie

Its probably correct. You should calculate your tdee yourself to double check though

With a moderately active multuplier Your TDEE is 2250 cals. Its usually recommended that you eat at a 10-20% deficit. 20% is 450 cals. So you should be eating about 1800 calories too lose weight. So 1200 is way to low. So EAT MORE. Atleast try up near 1800 for 2 weeks and see if it works. You prolly wanna measure yourself…

ok well we still need height/age and activity level if you want help.

Starting Strength is a good one

If you log your exercise dont eat back those extra calories. Just use the calories consumed.

If they even out then their is no problem. Timing has nothing to do with it.
