It's because they caricaturize the fitness enthusiast while perpetuating negative untrue stereotypes in their "judgment free" zone. I thought it would be kind of a no brainer why so many people take issue with them. Guess I was wrong.
-
MFP is designed to eat them, so yes you should be. With that said....it's all an estimate. Most start out eating back 50-75% of them and adjust from there.
-
"Build Muscle" probably isn't the correct nomenclature to use here. It's more strength exercises to maintain muscle. When we eat in a deficit we lose water, fat, AND muscle. By doing strength training in that deficit we're working to maintain muscle so most of our weight loss is water and fat. This is one of the more…

SQ....1146 TDEE or 1146 BMR?
-
^^ This isn't exactly right. The 350 net that you're getting is MFP saying you've only eaten 350 calories worth of fuel for your normal day because you exercised almost 1000 off, so you should eat another 850 to get to 1200 for the day (not including exercise). I also wouldn't tell someone who only has 350 net calories for…
-
That's fine if you disagree with myself and @jessef593 but that doesn't change the science. What I laid out; Moderate Deficit + Cardio (for heart health and so you can eat moar) + a progressive overload program (to maintain muscle so you lose mainly water and fat) = the most efficient way to lower BF% while maintaining the…
-
OP, something doesn't really add up here IMHO. In order to gain that much weight on 1900-2000 cals per day your maintenance would need to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 950-1000 cals.
-
Can you please explain the bolded? How would the OP "not get there" lifting weights in a deficit? That's basically exactly how you get there.... OP, here's the deal. Make sure your logging is on point so you have a modist deficit. At that point do cardio for heart health (and if you like it), and then as was said above…
-
OP, if you decide to follow this link to figure out your calories, than yes don't eat back exercise calories. The calculator is TDEE calculator and accounts for your exercise. MFP is a NEAT calculator and does not, so you should be eating back at least some of them. So, are you eating 1300-1400 net or gross? How long have…
-
Sorry, but I question putting on muscle easly...and nobody puts it on easily at 1200 cals.
-
This^^^ any idea how many calories that is?
-
If your numbers are truly correct where you only net 600 cals a day, then no.....no its not healthy.
-
Sorry OP, I wasn't going to chime in but you're not building muscle fast enough to offset scale losses performing Jillian Michaels DVD's and eating at the deficit you claim. Odds are you probably maintained some muscle and are retaining water from the exercise. Building muscle, especially enough to offset the scale doesn't…
-
Just because you're "more muscly" doesn't mean you added mass. Ya you probably had some newb gains, but after that you're lifting to preserve muscle there by stripping away the fat covering the muscle you're preserving and becoming "more muscly" It's not nay saying, it's explains how lifting in a deficit works.
-
This...Inquiring minds want to know...because if you are, that's cray cray
-
What are your stats? Ht/Weight. How often do you workout and what do you do. Honestly, just by looking at your pic(s), you probably don't have the weight to lose to sustain 2lbs per week. You're probably at a point where 1lb per week should be more your goal.
-
-
Not sure of your ht/wt/age/etc... But I'll take a stab at it with -500
-
This^^^ 1200 gross is honestly probably too little for you, especially since it sounds like eating back exercise calories isn't something you do normally so it sounds you're really netting closer to 1000. Do you get 200 extra cals from exercise you do outside of you job? What is your daily activity level set at?
-
It may not be what you want to hear, but this is probably the way to the goals you're after. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10177803/recomposition-maintaining-weight-while-losing-fat/p1

Ya, it's especially low for a young military male, especially if they're on active duty.

As pointed out half a dozen times in this thread, PF's site even says it's not due to safety. It's the "intimidation" the jug and the people that use them gives off. It's part of their "judgment free" stereotyping.
-
Agreed here.
-
Um, Wut... sorry, no I don't. Can you please enlighten us on how. Periods are bad, and women shouldn't be getting them. How to lose weight eating above TDEE. The chemo stuff.. We can start there if you'd like, you know of you can expound on "she's right" for the rest of us skeptics to enlighten us to her ways.
-
Umm, Wut?
-
I never said it did, you're singling out one exercise in an entire program. So sue me for wanting to be a well rounded athlete. Anyhow....the OP is about being able to lift heavy to maintain muscle without compromising running performance. I recomped, so I added a few lbs of muscle (increasing race weight approx 6lbs) and…
-
Really? I recomped from 165 to 172 via compound movements and my running got noticeably...noticeably better in one year. I was a much faster sprinter, distance improved immensely (especially my 10k) and was just an all around stronger runner. Who knew becoming a stronger runner would slow you down... #stumped.
-
It's the calories that made your "fellow blaster" put on weight, not the sugar. They ate and used foods too high in calories.
-
This.. I wanted to post this link but was on my phone.

You can't spot reduce. If you want you stomach down its about the calorioc deficit. I would add in something with more of a progessive overload. If you're staying home look into convict conditioning or you are your own gym.
