Yes they said I can eat below BMR Yes said do NOT eat exercise calories back No did not say you replace fat with muscle. But with exercise you build muscle and burn fat. They are not interchangeable.

You might be right but I'm just repeating what my doctors and dieticians have told me!

To a point you are correct. I am doing what I am while working with my doctor and dietitian. I went a weight loss surgery orientation and listened to what people go though after stomach surgery and said, why do I need surgery to do that? They eat 400-600 calories daily for a few months of just protein. So I went back to…

If you are looking to lose weight please ignore the advice that says "a little wiggle room with exercise" You do not eat back your exercise burn until you are at maintenance or gain mode. If you eat back the calories that you burned then whats the point? And you risk that the burn number you're using is off so you think…

This is absolutely correct. All that truly matters is calories in and calories out. Doesn't matter if you eat once a day or 6 small meals a day. The calories is all that matters. And that issue we think about (starvation mode) is not true. Your body doesn't go into starvation mode. We also can't increase or decrease our…

I'm not a pro at this in the least but your intake seems excessive to me if you truly want to lose weight. I'm at 239 and my BMR is 1752 cal/day. To lose 2 lbs a week I need to go down to 1052 cal/day. Also, don't eat what you're burning. On the 4th of July I supposedly burned 1095 but only took in 1080. You don't eat back…

I know of a few people who were in a similar boat but instead of being fat overweight they were muscular overweight. Huge muscles putting them outside the acceptable Marine guidelines and they were booted. Good luck, but I think he needs to go to a weight loss program that they offer at the clinic there on base and hope…

I'm sorry I have to disagree. I'm 5'4 and through my later years of HS I was 125. I was very bony. I could have lost more weight in the chest (naturally was large chested) but being at or under 100lbs would have been totally anorexic looking even if I wasn't anorexic so do please be very careful not to hurt yourself, it's…

I just started my weight loss journey and watching what I eat. So far what works for me are taco salads. Right now I'm having my lunch with romaine lettuce, 1/4c shredded cheddar cheese, one whole avacado, 1/2c salsa. I was going to have some chips but lucky for me they're stale so I can save me the fat and calories by…
