I looked at the past 21 days and you are averaging 1297 calories per day. Your lowest day being 823 (4/24) and highest being 2218 (4/21). Eat more. Read the link I posted above to educate yourself.

After 6 weeks, I formed a habit of being honest with myself, logging all my meals, eating healthy and exercising. I don't even have to think about doing it anymore, it's just what I do. That would be my success story.

Nothing wrong with whey protein. For fat loss, typically you should be getting 1g/lb of lean body weight. If you don't know your body fat, it's fine to get 1g/lb your total weight which is plenty. MFP sets the protein goals really low, and I would suggest changing them to fit your numbers by going to My Home->Goals->Change…

It's only as accurate as you make it. As with every other site, you have do your own due diligence to ensure that what you are inputting is correct. Luckily, I enjoy this site because it is very easy to use and stores recently used foods, which makes it much more convenient and less time consuming than other sites that I…

I quit watching as soon as I saw Lustig.

Start here: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/comparing-the-diets-part-1.html There's 4 parts. Read them all, then decide.

85 grams or so. I'm basing that off 0.7g/LBM lb

I'm not a big fan of oatmeal either, but I eat it from time to time. 1/2 cup Oatmeal with 2 tbsp peanut butter makes it less bland. I usually add 1-2 tsp of sugar too. If it's the consistency, you can add more or less water.

Thanks for taking the time to illustrate.

Here's a nice long read: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/comparing-the-diets-part-1.html

Since losing 20 lbs, have you adjusted your caloric intake to match? If not, you might want to re-evaluate and adjust accordingly.

I would suggest the higher amount and adjust from there. Read here: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/adjusting-the-diet.html

Do it consistently for 3 weeks, then tell us what your average WEEKLY loss/gain is.

Has it been at least 3 weeks since you started doing this consistently?

I would up your protein. Generally to preserve muscle, you want to have at least 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body mass. You can even up that to 1.25 if you have moderate body fat instead of high. Also, start weight lifting to preserve as much lean mass as possible.

Will you be doing SKD, TKD, or CKD?

Normally when figuring out macros, you start with protein first, then fat, and then whatever remaining would be allotted for carbs. For individuals with high body fat that would translate to: 1 gram of protein per pound of LEAN body mass (for calories, multiply by 4) 0.4 - 1 gram of fat per pound of LEAN body mass.(for…

If you see your progress start to slow, you'll stop slacking off. The weekend still has days that end in Y, so they're no different than week days.

You already have abs. In order to see them, reduce your body fat percentage.

In terms of pounds per week, at what rate were losing? http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/muscle-loss-while-dieting-to-single-digit-body-fat-levels-qa.html

I don't take any protein supplements, and I eat around 160-180g each day. I just eat chicken, tuna, egg whites, and cottage cheese. You can mix most of those with whatever you are already eating.

^^What he said. You have to come to a realization that makes sense for you. If you don't whole-heartedly want to change, you're not going to. You'll keep on finding excuses to justify your actions. When you finally get to the point that you're fed up with your current self, that's more likely when you'll change.

Consistency, patience, faith, determination to name a few.
