Welcome to MFP. Take some time and familiarize yourself with how this works. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/help/faq/3-how-does-myfitnesspal-work http://www.myfitnesspal.com/help/faq/268-what-are-net-calories http://www.myfitnesspal.com/help http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/457

OP mentioned 12 lbs. When down to the last 5, I would maybe make the deficit a little less. It would depend more on how I felt overall, and exercise performance.

You didn't defy the laws of thermodynamics. So you dropped some additional water weight with low carb. Whooptie do. Most people here are after fat-loss, not water-loss.

Eat at a calorie deficit to lose weight. /thread

No, 20% is a pretty safe cut.

2 weeks is not quite enough time to draw any conclusions. i think your approach is valid. stick with it several more weeks.

Kroc Rows are good too

Yes. I agree. You sohuld eat before or after your workout. Doing both is ok too. Doing neither is ok too as long as you eat later on at some point.

How about just taking your measurements every so often and leaving it at that? Measurements are much more meaningful than scale weight anyway.

done. that's why i get a kick out of these gym rant threads.

if you're targetting a lb per week, start weight - goal weight = # of weeks. if you're targetting 2 lbs per week, then (start weight - goal weight) / 2 = # of weeks but remember, it's rarely linear.

how much strength have you gained doing that "strength training" routine?

Lifting 4x a week. Hitting decent macros. The rest is gravy. I try to get in 1 or 2 cardio/conditioning type workouts in the week as well. I eat under TDEE to cut, over TDEE to gain, and at TDEE to maintain. I don't itemize exercise calories as they are factored into TDEE. Sounds simple? That's because it is.

one should take whatever break is necessary to ensure they will make the next set

excuses, excuses. stop making excuses and start making progress.

Oh, whoops, I replied too soon. Minimum dietary fat is often specified as .35g per lb of body weight.

i herd u have to get these threw a coach.

Have a food plan for the day; better yet, bring your own food in. No plan? Then of course you'll eat whatever crap is in front of you.

For wild salmon I typically season with salt, pepper, garlic, dill, and some lemon juice and bake it. Salmon is also great with a mustard & brown sugar glaze. Or maple and soy marinade. For wild cod I season with a little salt, pepper garlic, and put sliced lemons on top. this has become a recent favorite. Just start…

Yep. This will give you a stable day to day calorie target to hit and free you from having to worry about calories burned exercising (as they are factored in to the TDEE estimate). Just double and triple check your tdee number. This calculator is helpful: http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html

she loses weight because she is in a calorie deficit

TDEE-20%

Sorry, yeah. It's a totally legit exercise, which is obvious because it hurts bad, and everything that hurts bad is a Totally Legit Exercise. Everyone should strive toward getting OK results.
