I learned that strength training should be first because it burns the glycogen stored within the muscles, making it easier to burn fat when you do cardio.

Sorry I didn't quote the text book for you. I did quote the professor though. Where did you get your degree from? I do love to learn from licensed dietitians.

Don't sweat a day or two under your BMR. It all averages out over a few days. Besides, we never really know calories anyways. All we do is get close. Rounding rules on labels can make them off by as much as 10%. You'll do great!

I'm sure this will get people riled up but here I go. The first thing I learned in nutrition class is It is not safe to eat below your BMR. The goal for safe weight loss is to be above your BMR and below your TDEE. Doing so may have you lose weight fast, but if your goal is to lose fat and not lean body mass it's not a…

A thread like this was sure to bring out the troll! :laugh:

I had a client tell me once," Don't get upset over first world problems." If it's not about food shelter and clothing to survive, it's really not that big of a deal.

I'll ask my wife and get back to you. For the last 19 years she's been telling me what I like.:tongue:

Since everyone seems to love it, maybe you can answer this. How does it count calories? If I walk 3 miles and somebody in great shape weighing half my weight walks the same distance, wouldn't the calories be very different? Also, does it know if you are in are car or does it think you are running really fast?

Everybody falls down. The strong get back up.

Great post! Not even the trolls could touch it.

Your right about pound and kilograms. I stand corrected. As for too much protein? What does the Mayo Clinic know about too much protein. I stand corrected.
-
This MUST be way below your BMR. You might want to consider getting a second opinion.
-
Contrary to much of the advice you'll get here, your body can only process certain amounts of protein at a time. The RDA for protein is 8 tenths of a gram per lb of body weight. If you do intense strength training regularly you can process up to 1.7 grams per lb of body weight.(Mayo Clinic) Protein that is not used will be…

At risk of sounding like G. W. Bush; stay the course. 5 days a week of training and 10 more lbs.

Did you smack her? I'm told that etiquette allows for that in these types of situations.

If you are looking for support and/or advice on works for me feel free to friend me. Best of luck to you.

Creeps need lovin' too ya know. Not that I have first hand experience.

Personally, I treat all of these like a bathroom scale. They may not be perfectly accurate but they are consistent. Since everyone is different the best you can ever get is a close estimate. Use it a gauge but don't treat it as if it's written in stone. Good luck with your goals!

DO they have to be URL's or can I upload from my PC?

At risk of sounding like the village idiot, how do you post a pic or gif to the forums?

One of the purposes of a message board is to connect. Sometimes for advice and sometimes for a kick in the butt, ie... motivation. Why are you so bothered that people are asking others for the help they feel they need. Not everyone is a self starter and if they require some inspiration, I'm happy to oblige. If you aren't…

Weight loss faster than 2 lbs a week is generally not considered safe and statistically is not long term. (Mayo Clinic)

My wife said I prefer curly brunettes. Man, I hate being whipped! I have to go do the dishes now. :grumble: :grumble:
-
I think as a general rule we want others to think and do what we do. It helps validate our choices. I believe if we all felt more self assured we wouldn't need validation.

Everyone struggles with things in their own way. It's better to feel sad for people like that than to be angry at them. Feel free to friend me if you would like encouragement.

I would look good in thigh high black pleather stiletto boots.

What is this outside that you speak of? Is that the place with the big burning thing in the sky? lol
