so you are saying to go by MFP's numbers and not TDEE's/IIFYM numbers correct?

true but i also dont want to eat very little. I want to make sure im eating enough to stay within the deficit. My numbers now are according to 3 days of working out.

ok how about losing fat and sculpting body?

im looking to lose 30 lbs but dont think that will happen with trying to cut my fat. Both at the same time. My diary is open if you want to take a look

eat your bcaas in protein.

i do weigh it but its difficult to make that amount as its very small.

why do i think that it doesnt matter which med you take, you will gain weight regardless

hot dogs.... nothing else is better

carbs?

and the funny thing is , i had a problem getting in my protein. Now people are telling me to lower my protein when i finally could get it to 150.. man i will never win hahaha :)

curious as to why?

looking on the website and the bread isnt available anywhere near me

where do you get this?

also im working out lifting weight, 4 days a week. Cant do cardio until my sprained ankle fully heals

170lbs

height is 5'7 and 198lbs height is 5'7 and 198lbs

i was going via TDEE as 40 40 20 i believe when i set it.

if you take a look at my diary, im trying to stay within but i put in my own macros for it via TDEE. its just i hate when my carb goes over.

anyone currently on Lexapro?

im taking 20mg of citalopram and i gained 20lbs since. i cant shake it off

wassup... contemplating switching to lexapro... heard good things about it. anyone else taking it? im currently on citalopram

bump

love bananas but it kills my carb intake

ok so last question, if the cutting calories 2359 and the maintenance is 2859, then to lose weight i have to eat 2359 correct?

ok so the only reason i ask is because MFP exercise calcs are hard to calculate. Its all average so i dont know if i even want to log it. if this is the case, then TDEE numbers would work correct? and if i wanted TDEE calcs, its easy to format it here correct?

i just want to make sure im doing it the right way as opposed to the wrong one.

TDEE So i used this calculator and apparently MFP has me eating far less than the TDEE calculator. 1739 MFP vs TDEE at 2359 for cutting. How do you then calculate which one to go with? https://tdeecalculator.net/result.php?s=imperial&g=male&age=35&lbs=198&in=67&act=1.55&bf=24&f=1

So im looking to bring down my body fat while maintaining my muscle. Any advise when it comes to calories?

see for me, i want to use it for my Insanity DVDs. Curious how to factor it in the diary because i want to eat at least half my calories back. Anyone else have this dilemma

how about for Insanity which is kind of HIIT workouts? wouldnt this be useful?
