if it fits in your macros, it's all good. Just saying...

true lol

There are many of calculators on the web you can try. You should probably try a few and take an average. That will at least get you started. You can fine tune your cals once you have been following the numbers for a week or so. I use this one because of the flexibility it offers but there are many others. Good luck…

Nope, only if consumed and digested by the body

my spouse and I have been on the if for a few months now and she has not experienced any of the "negative" things you mentioned. it's working great for her.

If I were you I would take the average of "lightly active" and "moderately active" and play with those numbers. Based on your stats, your range is 2776 (lightly active) to 3129 (moderately active). 2952 (average of both) for TDEE seems like a good place to start.

Freemotion Incline Trainer. The 30% is beast!!!

Fantastic job!!! Keep it up!

What are your goals? Some percentages are better than others depending on what you are trying to achieve.

amazing! great job

great job!!

Very true, guess I could have used fewer words, lol

On some days my motivation is low to get into the gym but as soon as I get warmed up and knock it out, I feel fantastic

For the past several weeks, I've had great success with intermittent fasting and not consuming anything while I workout other than a Branch Chain Amino Acid drink. My feeding window is from 11 am to 6 or 7 pm each day and I workout at 5 am. My energy levels are through the roof and I feel fantastic throughout the day. I…
