This...plus also take into consideration the source of the burn report....how do you know you burned that many calories? That is why I try not to have huge cardio days, its hard to predict how many calories you actually burned....typically running a mile is about 100 calories...so if you ran a mini-marathon, you'd burn…

I got a chance to look at your diary a bit...and while only you can know for sure if you are underestimating....I have to say I saw a few things that made me think....for example last sunday you used 1 teaspoon of olive oil for the fish? Seems way too little...perhaps you did...I was not there...but I know when I cook...1…

Are you sure you are estimating calories consumed correctly? Frankly unless you have some underlying condition, it is calories in calories out....Figure out your TDEE, and subtract 500 from that...I'm guessing at 5'2 126 pounds you would be around 1250 per day. So eat at 1250 per day while keeping your protein levels…

As they mentioned, you will get different opinions....and in my opinion, this advice is incorrect. You should not be gauging it based on body weight rather then Lean Body Mass (LBM) You need to figure out what your LBM is, and then eat that number in protein. Do you know your Body Fat %? If you know that, you can figure…

I'm sure I'm just saying what everyone else is thinking but how did you get overweight (your ticker says you want to lose 130 pounds) by not eating more calories? If you are struggling to eat 1200 calories after you probably have done it in the past, then I would say you may have developed an eating disorder. Not a doctor,…

Seeing as how that much food will probably make you vomit immediately afterwards anyway...you dont need to track it...would be a waste of time!

Yes, Sugar is very addicting...its a tough habit to break just like caffeine. You really just need to stop cold turkey if it affects you like that. I tend to over-indulge in sugar based products like chocolates, baked goods and other desserts. I have a problem that I cant help....I embrace it and work out harder at the gym…

Honestly it becomes habit. You shouldent be thinking of it as a diet...if its a struggle right now, thats a problem. You should find out what is "tough" about what you are doing and try to work around that. When you hit goal, you may not need to be as exact with your tracking, but I still recommend tracking.

THIS! /thread

They fall under the dont have McDonald's category and therefore excluded from the list. Great Depression affected everyone so it was a unilateral decline. What I think this study and the OP are trying to point out is that when 1 class is in poverty, they tend to go for the cheaper foods that are more dense in calories.

You are 24, 5 foot 6 inches and weigh how much? To me 2400 calories sounds way too high to lose weight. Have you calculated your TDEE? For example, I am 32, 5 foot 8 inches and when I was 200 pounds my TDEE was 2100...so to maintain weight I'd need 2100, to lose about .7-.8 pounds a week I needed 1600. By your picture I…

WAY TO GO! *INSERT COMPLIMENT* No but really, WAY TO GO! *INSERT COMPLIMENT*...wait that wasn't any better....hmm

The second Bodpod at 24%, I went straight to the gym and it showed 18.5% I dont really know anyone who is skilled at caliper readings or I would try that.

180 - 11-22-12 175 - 01-18-12 170 - 03-04-13

Is there logic behind this statement? I'm not sure how eating more is going to help me drop body fat% while losing weight.

I mentioned my workouts in the original post. I Lift, do Yoga and play Volleyball. I do Cardio prior to lifting each day for a warm up, usually around 15-20 minutes.

I eat 2000-2100 calories with about 400 exercise calories bringing me down to avg of 1600-1700 net I'd say.

As most people have said...just get your macros in line for the day...if you need to supplement with a protein shake, go for it.

I'm doing high reps low weight.

37% to 29% is much easier then 30% to 20%, and you did 8% in 5 months from a much easier range. We are simply saying that the 30%-20% cut is much more difficult and would take longer then the 40%-30% cut.

10% body fat in 4 months? I am shocked at how many people are saying this is no problem. She isn't droping from 40% to 30%, she is droping from 30% to 20%, I dont see that being as east as 4 months. I can see you getting close...maybe 23-24, but 10%? wow.

This thread is getting a bit confusing for the newbies I'd say. Because this thread has prompted responses from people saying protein bars made people's teeth loose, they have said things like protein shakes give no nutrients, and stuff like protein shakes aren't safe. That is all very moronic. Protein shakes are perfectly…

What is wrong with a protein shake?

You are not on drugs, if that is your TDEE of 2354 (I dont know your stats so I cant double check) then 1883 should be your daily calories.

Wow I think you hit a nerve with some people and their snide remarks. Anyway, try to ignore remarks like that and filter them out...I know you are new so this is good advice when combing the forums...you'll start to see a pattern with the people who give good advice, and the trolls. As far as your issue, I'd recommend you…

I think are missing the point....if you eat the way you normally eat...it should not matter what you ate the night before....week over week you will see a trend (hopefully decline) and can adjust from there. If you avoid foods that make you bloat or retain water the night before, then you will show lighter on the scale on…

This is why marriage sucks....sex life goes straight out of the window!!

You may want to start with fixing this. That whole "hunger inside you and it wont go away" line from the commercial is not litteral.

You burn calories more effectively at a certain heart rate, knowing what that is then keeping it can be achieved my monitoring your heart rate. Also, as far as wearing it all day, would be cool....but doesn't your day change from day to day? So you would have some loose variables there....if you laid in bed all day for 24…
