Routine: 1. Upper Body weights/ Bike 2 Lower body weights & core / run 3.Upper Body weights/ Bike 4.Lower body weights & core / run 5.Upper Body weights/ Bike 6. Lower body weights & core / run I'm considering training for a sprint level triathlon and looking to add some morning swims, but that may not happen for a month…

I lift for building strenght/power, so I'd say low reps/high weight. Generally try for sets of 10/10/10 ro 10/8/6 (for going up in weight). I do this for both upper and lower. I pack what I can in 45 minutes. I alternate upperbody and lowerbody. I add core workout to my lowerbody days. After weights I transition to a 5k on…

Considering I've been eating under my BMR this whole time, isn't it possible my body is in starvation mode?

I have been stuck between the 215-220 range for a few months. I've gotten off the ellyptical (hard on the joints running at 250lbs) and recently started building up my running stamina (almost able to complete a 5k non stop) and also biking as well (did my first spin class yesterday). I have been eating under 2k since I…

I'll adjust calorie intake to 2100 ( about 150 over BMR). I'll have to add a protein snack with my afternoon pre-workout banana. Getting my carbs to around 65 is insane. Is that even healthy??

Thanks for the help guys. Per the site you listed ritchiebulk, my BMR is 1968, but my fat loss is at 2371. I'm not starving at any point in the day when I eat at my BMR, but would the extra 400 cal actually help me out? Also, what was the bad info?

I drink between 1.5 to 2 gallons of water a day. I do eat a banana or banana chips each day for potassium.

I noticed it was 3200 yesterday and the goal was 2500.

That was my first thought. Maybe my body was so use to sweating it out, that when I stopped, it kept storing it. Also... its not like I was pigging out every single day to gain 10lbs in one month. That would be insane. How would I go about testing my sodium levels?

I will, thanks!

You would think we eat a lot of fish, but the fish camp we are at they clean/package all of our fish and our group (100 people) pool it all together and split it up evenly at the end of the trip. We do burgers/hot dogs/steak because its easier to cook when you are slighty drunk and exhausted from 10 hours of fishing. I'm…

Great ideas! Thanks! Totally forgot about beef jerky.

Update: 5 Weeks on program 230lbs as of last night (2/6), which puts me at 2lb a week loss. I have not done my BF calculation because apparently it picks up on water and I drink a ton of water. I've adjusted my workout routine to 5 days on and 1 day off. Still eating around 2000 calories and feel satisfied. This includes a…

Very good points btw weird_me2! You've obviously done the research. The link below seems to be what you are describing. http://www.cordianet.com/calculator.htm Results:240lbs at 30% BF @ moderate exercise Estimated Base BMR: 2015 Calories. Estimated TDEE: 3124 Calories. Estimated Daily Caloric Need For Weight Loss: 2624…

http://www.health-calc.com/diet/energy-expenditure-advanced I checked this one out where it will break you day down into minutes/categories I put my sleep at 7hrs Moderate Exercise at 1:30 Sitting at 15:30 (just a hypothetical, I do walk/cook/stand throught the day) Shows BMR @ 2343 and TEE @ 4119

I need to do some more studying of my plan to make sure this does not happen. Thank you!

@weird_me2 I've run into this issue where different websites will give me different figures. I think the TDEE came from a site that allowed you to breakdown your day into how many minutes you sleep, exercies, ect.. ect.. Any trusted sites? With Ellipitcals, I would increase the level if I notice my workout was getting…

My cheat days are not well defined unfortunately. I think I've done it where I don't worry about a particular meal and the calories consumed. You do make a good point and I will look into it more closely.

The ones that noticed I haven't seen in a few months and it was really a vindication of a month of hard work. With going to 3 weddings starting in 3 months, I should get a lot of notice then. I've thought about stepping away from the scale and do it once a month and let my clothes do the talking for me.

I'll adjust by adding 600-700 calories to my diet and that will give me just over 1k daily deficit. Its crazy to think I've been doing 1,800 deficit x 6 days = 10,800 ...divided by 3,500 = 3lbs. That is absurd:sick: . FYI: I discovered TDEE this morning, I was basing everyting on BMR + workouts to create a deficit. What a…

Thank you! With the weight training/cardio daily, I'm probably burning around 800 daily (conservative weight training estimate). I started at 1800 calories... then a trainer recommended me up to 2000 calories at January 12th. Any suggestions as to how much more I should add? FYI:I do work an 8hr desk job
