Exactly right.

MFP's number will always be less because the exercise if factored out; you're expected to add the exercise back in. But 500 seems like a rather large discrepancy, so there may be other contributing factors - namely the activity level you've selected in MFP. Many people choose sedentary, but for many that's a huge…

If you're desperate and lazy they will be happy to take your money.

I had very good results from the Assgasms series by Seymor Butts.

Sweet! Keep it up!

Hell yes it counts. Even walking counts. Count for what? For increasing energy expenditure and increasing cardio vascular fitness. Walking, light aerobics, and lots of reps of light weight will do that for you.

same as every other mother, non-mother, mother-f'er, mother's brother, and motherless heathen: calorie deficit and exercise.

- you need to keep carbs low to lose weight - you need to keep fat low to lose weight - do not eat within X hours of bed to lose weight - you must eat breakfast; breakfast is the most important meal - you must consume protein with X minutes after finishing your workout - accidentally bulking up is a huge risk when weight…

Friday.

lololol @ Fox News. since when does entertainment tv count as research? :laugh:

Threads like this digust me. scraping the toppings of a pizza onto a tortilla? suggesting dominoes pizza? Revolting.

In before the lock

Since when does Starbucks coffee count as snob-quality? :)

Fine, stay fat then.

I would go with the 1640 in this case. You've gotten your TDEE via other means; ignore the MFP recommendations, and use it just to log your food and do the bookkeeping. TDEE includes the exercise.

Do you drink coffee? Yes How many cups a day? 2-4 Are you a coffee snob or is Folgers enough for you? SNOB Sugar? NEVER Creamer? What kind? NEVER

Oh dear. Gaining 20 lbs of muscle in 45 days by doing Insanity while in a calorie deficit? :laugh:

Nice work so far! Do you have a question? What are you loking for advice on?

Yes, that sounds about right. Nice work on figuring that all out. I think you are probably more towards "moderately active" than "lightly active", so you can likely get away even eating a little more.

Start last Thursday. My #1 regret is not having started sooner.

You will gain approximately 1 lb for every pint of water you consume.

Everything bagel with cream cheese

You don't build muscle in the gym; you create microtears in the muscle fibers. You build muscle when you sleep as these microtears are repaired. Doing some cardoi after a strength workout is more or less fine if you have some leftover energy, though I prefer to split cardio and strength to different days.

Pick out some weight that you know is light. Do some reps (around 5 let's say), concentrating closely on your form. Add 5 or 10 or 15 or 20 lbs and repeat. Keep adding weight until the form starts to break down and/or 5 reps is a challenge. Right around there should be your starting weight. As a beginner you should be…

Go by grams, not ratios.

that's really bizarre. have you seen a doctor about that? maybe you need a detox tea cleanse

good to know. i'll make sure to never cut out carbs, and avoid this sort of mess altogether.

Can you explain how you determined that what you gained is fat?

Milk is very healthy. Drink 1%, 2%, or whole.
