Eat clean, eat breakfast, fire up the metabolism...nah. IIFYM sensibly and intermittent fasting works for some too.

Just a little update to say thanks for the advice. I think I seem to be hovering at just below 1900 calories per day and in the last 2 weeks I have dropped 4lbs so that is a good sign. I may up the calories just a little bit if the next few weeks show the same speed on weight loss. Cheers guys.

Still looks high to me, but something to consider. 2,100 mark. Thanks matey,

msf74 - Thanks. I am 5 foot 9/5 foot 10 I always put (9) to be on the more realistic side, my weight is 169 pounds, I am sat at a desk as we speak. I am 30 though so maybe it is just age too :) I will update accordingly.

Hi MSF - I don't want to come across as awkward but I know I am not burning 500 calories with 1 hour of weights on a morning. Maybe 100 - 200 calories max. On the 1 day I do cardio, that will be 400 - 500. I will try 2,300 in a few weeks time but I am certain the weight will just pile on haha.

Thanks Lifting4Lis. I will give this a go in a few weeks time and see the outcome.

Maybe it is just a matter of sticking to it. I know in the past I have been kidding myself with my logging foods but I am weighing stuff now and have got it better but far from perfect. I try to use IIFYM but without going over the top and silly foods.

Technically speaking I am. I am a Consultant and either sat at a desk all day or driving. It is only 1 hour in the mornings and I do train hard but if I ate at 2721 - 20% = 2,176 I am certain I would gain weight along with plenty of muscle. I have no problem putting muscle on its just keeping them love handles away.

Francl - My TDEE on your link comes back about the same - TDEE 2,163. Sixxpoint - TDEE appears to be correct. I am 5'9 inches bodyfat estimate about 15% - 17%. My weight is 12.0 to 12.1 stone. I agree about the protein so I have at times got it down to about the 150 mark. WBB - It is net calories. If I do cardio I will…

Hi Stef, My weekly goal would be about 1 pound per week. I have opened my diary now and despite the ups and downs the 'Average bar' on the calories graph at the end of the week is showing 1,818 calories.

Same here

Probably not due to no real picture
