I would also point out the HRMs just measure HR, there are calculations that the watch or machines use to try and convert that into cals burned, but it is not exact. You will get a better estimate using "work performed" instead Mets. There are calculations out there to estimate cals burned from walking and running that are…

just make out with them at the Christmas party in the elevator... though that can make for awkward days if you run into each other often

I would just point out that at your BF% you are more primed to add a larger % fat than if you bulked at 10-12%. so as noted 13 lbs of fat out of 22, when if you bulked more of a lean bulk starting at a lower BF%, you may have been able to hold that down to 7-10 lbs of fat

It depends on how many days per week you want to workout, how long you have been lifting, etc. lifting programs: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10332083/which-lifting-program-is-the-best-for-you/p1

Pretty much what mmapages said! Is that a program you put together yourself? If so, I suggest following a tried, tested, and true program. Find a program that meets your goals here: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10332083/which-lifting-program-is-the-best-for-you/p1

No app that I am aware of. but what you can do is pre log what you plan on having for the day, and if macros or cals are off you can tweak as you go, instead of waiting until the end of the day

I would say in the ballpark of 165 to 735 days, depending on your level of fitness, past running experience or not, how often you train, etc.

I wasn't suggesting they drink any, just that that is how it could work... could have been 20 cals worth saves you from eating drinking 520 cals of something else would be how it "could" work. but ACV in an of itself has nothing to do with weight loss. could replace 500 cals of X with nothing, or with water, etc. Not sure…

If you need to lose 1 lb/week you could swap out 700 cals of soda/day for 200 cals of apple cider vinegar, assuming you were eating maintenance with 700 cals of soda. In other words, it does nothing to help you lose weight, unless it helps you cut calories elsewhere in your diet

I did use them when recovering from torn ACL, as part of rehab. but again was light and done for a purpose. In general, this exercise can do more harm than good. especially when trying to go heavy on it

useful for what though? aesthetics? Stiff legged deadlifts can be used to hit hammies, squats, and lunges for quad, these machines are more for a bodybuilder to work the muscle in a certain way to get a certain look. the machines in themselves do nothing to help "real life" as those are motions you don't use... so unless a…

Def not 11% with only a 2 pack... my profile pic, with a 6 pack, is me at 10-12% BF%... obviously the method to calculate BF% was not accurate for him

Did both groups have the same maintenance cals. if one was higher (BF group) and ate the same cals as the other group they would be expected to lose more. the other possible reason, as noted before, is that bigger breakfast could lead to a higher NEAT.

true, but if he chose 0.5lbs/week, there is more wiggle room to lose more by creating a larger deficit than 250 cals

What is your protein goal in grams? How many calories do you eat?

If you set for 2lbs per week, you should def be eating back cals burned from exercise

with amount he has to lose 1.0 lbs/week is approprate. in 3 weeks he should have only expected a loss of 3-4.5 lbs, not 25... sounds unsafe

225 grams of protein seem quite high, and fat at 56 grams seem low, may want to change to 35% protein and up your fat by 10%

If trying to gain muscle, eat at a slight surplus and follow a structured lifting plan that fits your goals. What is your current lifting routine?

I am a fair-weather outdoor running... can't be too hot (less than 20 Celcius) nor too cold (above 12 Celcius). hate too hot or too cold, so I do end up running more on a treadmill. I actually find I can go faster and longer outside though. Probably as I don't get as bored.

the 250-300 was probably what you burn above what you would have burned with "normal" activity. so Net calories. That 1780 is most likely gross, what you burned in total, including exercise over that time frame. In other words for your shift, it is saying you would have burned 30 calories an hour from work. Which is…

I would start how you are now, slowly add weight as you get the form down. once you start pushing yourself more, pick a weigh that you can do 3x8 with, once you get 8 reps on all 3 sets, up it to 9 reps, then 10. If you can do 10 on all 3 sets, add weight next time and do the same progression. 8,9,10, increase weight,…

Agreed, but I will also note that you don't want your cardio to interfere with your recovery from lifting either. So a few days of light cardio should be enough, otherwise, you will just have to eat more and monitor recovery and lifting performance even closer.

It is still good to eat some of them, as faster weight loss is not usually better (more will come from lean body mass as a % of total loss the faster you lose) A portion of those 400 would be burned had you know walked (maintenance cals/24 hours) the calculator uses gross cals burned not net. so assume you burn 1.25…

for reference, I am the same height as you, and my profile pic would have be at 2 kgs heavier than you are now... That was after cutting as I was 69kgs, 5 months before that. Keep in mind that 4 months isn't a long time. I had been lifting off and on for 15 years at that point (more on than off), but pushed really hard for…

I don't think anyone needs supplements, if you get everything you need from your diet. I only asked about the program as only hitting each muscle once a week is more than likely sub-optimal. You can still get results but may take much longer than it needs to.

A good chance your calories burned from exercise are also overstated.

since 2009, though probably became active in 2011-12

Did you choose 2lb/week weight loss? I would change that to 1 lb/week and you will get more calories. this site only gives you an output based on your input.: Here is a good reference, if you have over 100 lbs to lose you can lose more than 2 lbs/week safely, that being said it is best to set a realistic safe weekly loss…

sounds similar to what I have and I have stopped jogging for 3 months now, starting to get a little better finally. I do play sports on Monday and wear a compression sleeve. My friend had something similar and didn't rest, ended up rupturing his and took a year to get fully healed. 6 weeks in a walking boot. In the…
