Using a polar FT40 HRM. Just finished this test as well. 4mph at 5% incline. Was pretty steady at 120 for the last 3 min of the warmup. I made sure I put in the same weight in my HRM and the calculator. For the 20 min test I averaged 119 with a low of 117 and a max of 124. HRM said 115 calories Calculator is 176 Wow.

Exactly me! I'm 41 married 9 years yesterday and no desire for kids. We have 2 dogs and very, very active hobbies that keep us ridiculously busy.

Going to try subbing greek yogurt for the cream cheese - yum!
-
I'm 5'4" and burned about 150 cals on the 30DS levels per HRM. I didn't follow the diet plan (but did do TDEE -15% and ate as healthy as possible) and lost a bunch of inches!

Usually the same thing M-F for work hours as I bring all my food and prep on Sunday evenings. Dinners change up depending on what protein I have thawing and what is available. Weekends I try to make a "special" breakfast if I have time and dont' have to be at the dog show too early - usually protein pancakes or a bake of…

I have done this for a pizza crust and it is great!
-
Good to know - I'm looking at doing the same.

Smoothie for dinner! Driving out of state tonight, so liquid dinner for me! I love love my smoothies. I think I may make a mint chocolate one.....or apple spice....hmmm....

I am 5'4.5" and started at 165 here (I was up to 185 before I found MFP). I did the whole 1200 calorie thing too before I knew better and read tons and educated myself. I was also doing cardio out the wazoo! I did manage to get down to 155 but then stalled big time. I found the EMTWL and read up on that as well as HIIT and…

I am very similar - many small snacky type meals every 3-4 hours with a mix of protein, fat and some carbs. I always try to have good stuff every day - I've done the restrictive deny myself stuff in the past and there is no way I will do that again - life is too short and peanut butter is too good!!!!!
-
I can easily fluctuate 5 lbs a day from water weight depending if I had a salty dinner or if it's TOM.
-
There are quite a few out there - you can look up brown rice protein, hemp protein, pea protein.....
-
looking forward to trying this on the weekend
-
I did it as well (5 days/week - 2 days shred, 1 day cardio, 3 days shred, 1 day rest) and lost inches as well! My shoulders definitely got more defined. As a female, you can never get super bulky due to the lack of testosterone in your system no matter how heavy you lift. My next program is very heavy lifting - if you…

You can't really trust others figuring out the calories - the ingredients may be slightly different and some use volume vs weight. I always do my own calculations and more often that not find that they are sometimes quite different! Even if a site does post calorie info, you should always do your own calculations

I just made one last night that I eat for breakfast - 1 15 oz can pumpkin 1 container light silken tofu 1/2 c milk (I used unsweetened almond) spices to your taste (I used pumpkin pie spice about 1 tbsp but I like it very flavorful) sweetner (stevia/splenda/etc) if you want - to taste 1 scoop vanilla protein powder…

Lots of great ideas! I make refrig oatmeal all the time! LOVE IT!
-
Fish tacos! I broil a tilapia fillet, top with salsa, tomatoes, cilantro, 1/4C brown rice, 1/4C black beans and maybe some avacado and a little cheese on small corn tortillas! YUM!!!!!!

Bump

Just make sure you are not relying on MFP for burned calories either - with my HRM I can walk 6 miles at 4.5mph and only burn about 350 I always look at the company's website for calorie info versus something like calorielab.com
-
Those are my exact stats (only difference is I am 5 years older!) and I ate 2000 per day to maintain. My current cut is 1780.
-
I just eat them raw....top them with whatever I make - a meat sauce, eggplant caponata or diced tofu/chicken. If the sauce is hot it will wilt the noodles just a touch. If not they stay nice and crunchy. I like them either way!
-
^^ Great info. Bookmarking this thread!
-
^^ This!!! I eat almost all those on a daily basis! Sweet potatoes are pretty much my favorite!!!!! Baked until super tender with cinnamon - YUM!
-
Lots of great reading and tons of info!
-
Bump! I'm in pretty much the same situation as the OP - def want to loose more BF and want to get much stronger.
-
I would love to hear thoughts and look at research on this as well. I could easily get quite engrossed and a bit obsessed tweaking on a daily basis versus setting a daily and/or weekly calorie and macro goal and sticking to it. I found I got results with eating a deficit of TDEE vs. eating back exercise calories. Plus it…
-
I am on week 3 of a 15% cut after eating TDEE for about 5 weeks. Before that I was at a plateau for a while and needed a jumpstart. I have to say I loved eating at TDEE - I maintained perfectly (didn't gain or loose anything) and never was hungry and felt comfortable eating all the calories I needed. I upped my protein…

I make turkey meatloaf meatballs - just turkey spices and egg whites. I freeze them and take a couple for lunch with cut up veggies. I also make my own protein bars as well as cook up a chicken breast for every day on the weekend, weigh, bag and freeze them and grab them in the morning when assembling my lunch.

Bumping to research later......
