The point of TDEE is to set it to your activity level. If you are setting it to sedentary, then you need to eat your exercise calories back. Netting in the 1000s is too low.

What activity level did you use to calculate your TDEE? Based on the amount you excersise, I don't know how your TDEE could be so low.

It depends on what is in the cup. They don't measure the same thing. A cup is a measure of volume, but a gram is a measure of mass.

bumping because I am in the same boat with my husband. He jokes that he "doesn't eat anything green," except it's not really a joke.

I second what everyone is saying about sashimi, but I also really like sushi rolls. I usually get one roll, either salmon or tuna avacado with brown rice and then get one or two pieces of sashimi.

Its not between 3 and 45 grams. Its .3-.45 grams per pound of body weight. Example - I weight 145. That means I should eat between 43.5g and 65g of fat per day.

I've made this - it's delicious!

On this method, you shouldn't be eating your workout calories back. It sounds like maybe you set your activity level too low? If you workout every night you should probably be at moderately active or higher. I usually workout days a week right now, so I have mine set to lightly active.

Agree with the above. I have just started using this method, so I'm definitely not an expert. From my understanding though you do not eat back your workout cals on this method because they are already included in the "lightly active" selection.

I recently started focusing on upping my protein. Snacks I usually bring to work: cottage cheese string cheese almonds edamame (I buy frozen, cook ahead of time and eat cold.) Greek yogurt Low sodium deli meat

I don't agree with this. I have a handful of guys that I am very close friends with and nothing more. They are also friends with my husband.

thanks!

I have a magic bullet. It blends really nicely and you blend it right in the cup you are drinking out of, so there is less cleanup. I drink smoothies almost every day. Definitely worth it!

I bought bands at Walmart instead of purchasing the pullup bar. I use free weights for some of the DVDs, but you could use bands instead. I don't think you could get by without any equipement.

I have mine set at 40 carbs, 30 protein, 30 fat. I'm new to this, so trying to get that much protein is a struggle for me. I might up it a little once I get the hang of it a little more.
