This is like someone asking for help with a broken leg on the internet, this is a discussion that should be between you and your doctor.

Has anyone here tried to guess the calories in food and still have lost weight on a weekly basis? For me I've been losing fat really slowly since June, so it seems like I'm miscalculating my calories. I should in theory be losing 2 pounds per week.

I'm currently cutting on 2200 calories, should I lower that a little more because weight loss is really slow. My maintenance prior was around 2500-2800 calories a day. The only reason why I'm afraid of lowering the calories too much is because of the potential for a lot of muscle loss.

Yeah, I asked this question here because I saw that a lot of people lift and are trying to gain muscle, so I didn't want to bother people who don't. If that makes any sense.

Lol guys my family eats healthy because well they weren't born in America and still eat like they did in their own. That's not the problem. The issue I have is trying to figure out how many calories is in the food with no labels. I use a scale and weigh it out, but then what do I do, guess the numbers for the ingredients?…

My muscles, I don't want to lose too much weight too fast or I could lose a lot of muscle I gained. Which is kind of holding me back from losing too much weight too fast. Oh and people underestimate the power of strength training (specifically women) because they think they could turn into the hulk if they did the bench…

Nice answer. Also I live with my parents so I eat what is given. I know how to cook, but I'm not living on my own.

This thread is 100% bull****. Aspartame isn't unhealthy according to research. Hippies these days...

Don't listen to that bad calories stuff, it's bull****. We don't defy the laws of thermodynamics.

Can you please tell me your definition of natural?

Yeah me as well, even if am was to eat about a pound of broccoli i find myself not even close to the RDA.

This whole clean eating/processed debate has got to be ridiculous. What you have to understand is that there is truly no such thing as clean eating. Everything that food is made of is natural. Processed food is made from things that are found on this planet. Toxic waste is from natural things on this planet. Well is the…

The only way for me to eat clean is if i wash Big macs or double stuff oreos.

It shouldn't be about losing weight, you should really consider relying on body fat percentage rather than a scale but even that is not a measure of good health. If you really must rely on seeing progress i suggest you use a body fat percentage and it should be checked once a week with a caliper. The scale doesn't take…

Wow that's not surprising, i have tried several different calculators and all tell me different numbers. Thanks for the help i was just trying to figure out which calculators to trust.
