So, a chubby person who was an avid cyclist - say, 100 miles a week for the round number - whose base activity level (which doesn't account for the cycling hobby, just their job) is 'lightly active' and consistently ate over their maintenance calories shouldn't count the 100 miles of cycling once they start eating at or…

I like irony.

Have you considered drinking when you're thirsty instead, like after the run?

My activity level is set to sedentary. I count it when I'm mopping the floor for half an hour after the cellar floods. I count it when I walk for 40 minutes to and from my morning coffee. If it bothers you, you're welcome not to read my diary. :flowerforyou:

If your activity level is not set to account for those steps per day, and if you believe the calorie burn calculated by your Garmin is accurate, then yes. As some have indicated earlier in the thread, it's somewhat common for folks to choose to eat back a good-sized proportion of their calculated calorie burns (say, 50 -…

Many folks here consider the protein and/or fat macros listed by MFP to be minimums to hit, not maximums to stay under. Just sayin'.

24/7 nudism. Make sure stupidity was actually painful. So much sex. Deep-fry ALL the foods.

I have stated my own advice. I am saddened that you're not able to read my responses as doing so.

Water's a chemical. What's wrong with the zero-cal options for soda, exactly? What are you detoxing from?

Please tell me I'm not the only one to remember this reference:

What's wrong with refined carbohydrates in a caloric deficit?

Careful why? What makes a food 'processed' and why is it something one needs to be careful about?

Why refrain from carbohydrates, and how does one do so while consuming lots of fruits and vegetables, since fruits and vegetables are carbohydrates? Why so much liquid? The '8 cups a day' thing was a descriptive, rather than prescriptive, study of overall fluid intake from the 1940's, which included the liquid in foods as…

This is an apple. You were saying?

The Smiths' entire song repertoire.

Why is eating mac & cheese at a caloric deficit not 'diet friendly,' exactly?

Not familiar with that particular brand; many protein powders seem to denature and become less than ideal in hot beverages.

macaroni and cheese worked well for me when I had a tooth pulled.

It's possible that your measured calorie burn is on the high side, which is why many advocate eating back a portion of your calories, rather than all of them. If you're going off of MFP's calculations for calories per day, their NEAT method of calculation expects you to eat back your exercise calories, on a theory akin to…

A single study, you say? By chance, was it constructed to test the hypothesis that meal timing does matter? A growing body of evidence in the field of meta-research indicates that the aim of a particular study plays a significant role in the findings of that study, as statistics and data are often readable in more than one…

With some possible exceptions for medical conditions or endurance activities (see also: 'bonking'), meal timing is essentially irrelevant.

Or skill at armed combat. . . or the notion that one gender needs to physically protect the other, while both are simultaneously to be treated as equals and merely intimating that she would be LESS able to protect herself than he is sexist (or was the last time I took a class on the topic)?

No shame in guys not being interested in women for purely physical attributes over which they have no real control, either. . . right?

Regardless of weight, height, eye color, hair color, etc. there is someone out there who thinks you are SMOKIN' HOT. These physical qualities 'matter' more in the first 30 seconds than they do once you find out that the person in front of you is real, with actual motivations, interests, likes and dislikes. . . but given…

1. I went back and read the whole thread; could you highlight the person who said they take pride in correcting written errors, please? I saw nobody using that phrase except you, to dismiss those who do it. 2. Do you not see "I think that is something you need to work on, then" as judgmental? From here, you're judging…

On an online forum, the words you choose are the clothes you wear, the way you style your hair, and the manner in which you speak. If you do not see the analogy, I guess that's too bad.

Chris gets up to give a presentation in a new, tailored suit, hair done well, obviously well-groomed, and speaks in a clear, confident voice while maintaining eye contact with the audience. Pat gets up to give a presentation in disheveled, dirty clothes, hair uncombed and obviously not well-groomed, and speaks in a quiet…

Some are probably chafed over subjunctive mood, I'd wager.

Strictly my opinion: For an increasingly large portion of society, the internet and texting are the primary methods of receiving and giving written information. If we choose simply to accept* that folks aren't to spell correctly, punctuate clearly, or use correct grammar within these media, we're indicating that spelling,…
