I also make my own. I found an ultra thin crust, and I top it with garlic hummus, spicy italian turkey sausage, bell peppers, banana peppers, greek olives, goat cheese, and mozzarella. Super good, and half a pizza is a little over 700 calories, which is totally doable.

Does that get folded into BMR, or is that more considered thermogenic effect of food?

Total weekly calories = total calories consumed over the week Total deficit = total calories spent - total consumed If you don't track total calories spent, look at what MFP tells you your deficit is each day including exercise (so, if you have it set to 1lb per week loss, that's 3500 base calories and then subtract any…

So everyone is arguing, but we're all actually in agreement with one another? Sounds about right.

Honestly, the only way to figure out if the calculators are wrong is to see if you don't lose weight at the rate you're expecting. Doing a little math can help here. Go back and look through your diary and see what your total weekly calories were for the week for several weeks during your loss. Then look at total calories…

I do not have any issues with midfoot, but my issue with ordering wide shoes in general is that they are loose on the heel and still not wide enough in the toebox. The Altra's are perfect for me, but the different styles also differed from one another (one was more narrow than the other). I ordered a few different styles…

They take a little bit of getting used to when you look down at your feet. They're vaguely shaped like clown shoes, but I LOVED them after just wearing them around for a few minutes.

Not a selfie, but I've been enjoying these because I have a really wide toe-box:

Ok, I know that the OP wasn't looking for advice, but I'd also recommend that the OP look into mindful eating. There are all sorts of books and websites, but here's one to get you started: http://amihungry.com/what-is-mindful-eating/

I'd not heard of it so I just googled. The battery in it is a c2032, which is the same battery I put in my food scale. Not that much smaller than a quarter, which would make that tracker pretty huge despite their photos.

Ooh, that does look delicious! Glad you enjoyed.

I'd aim for protein. Eggs and some ham? Go crazy and use the donuts to make a breakfast sandwich by cutting it in half and putting the egg and ham in the middle. :smiley:

Well, it doesn't work for you because you didn't maintain a deficit. I guess I'm lost on the point here? Aiming for a weekly deficit works if you remain in a deficit. You can have an equal distribution of that deficit across every day or you can vary your deficit each day (a surplus of 800 calories above goal can be…

To some extent I agree. Mindless eating definitely contributed to how I got so large. But, to be fair, I work through my lunch these days, but only so I can spend my actual lunch break out walking... :smiley:

Right, but it's the exact opposite of my point. Which is expected since you do LCHF. But, my point is so many people bemoan the low fat era and rant and rave about the damage done to the "name" of fat and I can agree. But then they go on to do the same thing to sugar and/or carbs. My point being, in 20 years, we may be…

Considering the context in which I used the term, we can essentially rule out "low fat", "low carb", or "low protein". By definition, they aren't balanced.

God forbid we try to help when the post is made in the forum "general weight loss help". It's not like this is the motivation section...

It sucks. But, the options are to continue eating like you always have and stay they way you are or suck it up and change. #warcat

Ha, for once we agree. Days when I say F-it, I have no problem hitting 4-5000 calories. But both of us have binge eating disorder. A lot of people don't seem to understand large quantities of food. I have no idea if the OP has any kind of binging issues or if he just really likes foods that are high in calories. There have…

I always see this as people not realizing what they look like. Are there pictures of "too bulky"? I'm assuming you're seeing changes in how you look, and it's rather weird at first when we start changing; we don't just get smaller, we change shape. Fat comes off of some places before others, and under the layers of fat are…

And this is where you have to know yourself and your habits. I can put away 200 calories of broccoli. Most people don't eat that much broccoli and it won't have much of an impact. If you find what you're doing isn't working, then it's going to have to change. Most people give a variety of responses because they've found a…

Since you're in Cali you should definitely be able to find Wasatch. Southern Tier might be a little harder, but they distribute pretty widely. I'd aim for a store that specializes in beer if you can. Or is just huge enough to have a wide craft beer selection.

Meh, I see diminishing returns on weighing lettuce. I skip weighing very low calorie items. Of course, I use packaged lettuce, so it's easy to get a rough estimate. If I ever stop losing at the rate I expect, then yeah, I might have to tighten up my logging, but for now, I'm going to do what is working.

Nope, it is absolutely fantastic. One of my favorite pumpkin beers actually. ETA: Well, one of my favorites that's not imperial. Because:

Yup. I'm often low on my fat goal, so lately I've been having peanut butter with breakfast and as a snack. I've bought the powder for a few recipes, but it mostly just sits in my pantry.

Yes, which gives a TDEE of 2826. Like she posted. And then if you change it to 165, you get 1967. Like she posted. The words, they are there to be read.

Well, everyone in this thread is already dead... And a lot of health articles are now recommending caffeine, so your click-bait articles seem outdated compared to the ones I'm currently seeing on FB.

Again congrats on the success, but I would at least think about supplements your friend recommended (hopefully just a recommendation and not that she's selling them to you). If you aren't deficient, your body does not process excess nutrients. Well it does, it just filters them out and you excrete them. So, you end up with…
