You're eating far too little for the amount of exercise you are doing - you are on your wary to having a leptin/thyroid problem if you don't already. 90g of protein is not a lot... you should be eating in the 200g/day range with plenty of carbs... and sugar isn't the monster as people make it out to be. Also - don't let…

It isn't... it doesn't matter when you do it.

Big, protein+carb, night-time meals prevent this type of behavior. You don't gain a significant amount of weight from one meal... that's being a little neurotic... chill out.... Lack of sleep from hunger is usually due to low serotonin levels from avoiding carbs at night - eat your largest meal in the evening.

Fork-put-downs.... plate-push-aways

I would increase protein regardless of exercise - strength training is preferred, obviously. It doesn't matter when you do cardio during the day - just don't go crazy running for an hour.

you probably aren't eating as much as you think.

Because you let MFP decide you calories. MFP tells everyone that they need to eat 1200/day... this is wrong. 14xBodyweight for women is a good starting point to maintain weight - 12 x bodyweight is a good place to start healthy weight loss.

There is no right answer no matter what anyone tells you. Try any activity level you like and see how your weight reacts to it... if it goes up then you've overestimated your activity... if it goes down then you've underestimated your activity... there's nobody who will fit exactly into a specific activity level.

Congratulate and leave it at that. You know better because such a restrictive diet will never work in the long-run - you can almost guarantee that the majority of the weight will come right back on unless the diet is sustainable.

I am not a doctor so I can't give any recommendations because I am not an expert in these types of conditions... if it were training or nutrition related, I would. My advice is to see an allergist. Sorry - good luck.

Eating in the morning is not important - that's just propaganda you hear. Eat when you're hungry - people who eat the majority of their calories at night adhere better to their diets.

The PCOS is common, but adrenal hyperplasia is definitely a contributing factor. Sounds like a definite food allergy/sensitivity.

That's because 1200 is too few calories... do you really think 90% of people who want to lose weight have to eat this magical number?? Nope. If you had set your calories higher (i.e. yourself) then you would not have to even worry about logging exercise. I promise you that almost anybody can lose weight at 1700 cal/day…

As a trainer my #1 advice to people is to jack up protein to insane levels - no it will not hurt your kidneys and no it will not hurt your liver... keep fat and carbs on the low side (carbs <100g, fat <50g) 1) protein has the highest TEF of all foods (thermic effect of food) 2) protein provides greatest satiety - and in…

11-12 x Bodyweight (lbs) is a good starting point, regardless of activity level - never "eat back" calories burned that is a flawed model of weight loss.

Taco salad - extra chicken, no guacamole.

The effect of age in TDEE is minimal at best and is not generally a limiting factor. Source: Any BMR equation.

Slow down a bit - better yet, jog outside

Stubborn fat - is actually areas of the body that contain a high density of alpha2-receptors on the adipose tissue (fat) - they actually inhibit the loss of fat. One way to antagonize this receptor is to boost norepinephrine output or use an extrinsic alpha2 antagonist. 1) Short term fasting - 16-24 hrs - 0 total calories…

Simple way to calculate is: BW(lbs) x 14 - 500 = Calories to lose weight Don't let MFP tell you how much to eat - it's always math based, never works for most people.

1200 sounds like a crash diet - those never work. You played all your cards at once... calorie reduction and exercise... all at once! Exercise is a poor way to lose weight - calorie reduction is probably the best way... but you slammed your calories to 1200 from the get-go... lost a bunch of weight (initially mostly from…

I hate posts like this... as a trainer this type of stuff makes people carbophobic... which leads to eating disorders and orthorexia... What this fails to point out is that for every 1g carbohydrate the body holds about 3g of water... so in reality, if you assume all of his weight gain was from carbohydrates then that…

That would depend on your currently bodyweight, age, gender, and bodyfat level. Try eating 11xBW kCal per day to lose weight. What you eat matters very little once you're getting the calories. Then work on adding protein etc. Don't worry about protein shakes - they do nothing for satiety and contribute very little to…

Sorry - but sounds like a pretty crappy diet. Cabbage soup for lunch? Sounds like you're underfed so the fat is not going to go anywhere. And you're not a vegetarian/vegan so there's no excuse for using rice protein instead of whey or casein - but that's not really the problem here. Eat properly - the weight loss will come.

Protein - lots of it.

My apologies - didn't mean to come off as grumpy - just stern. A lot of people (my clients included) don't understand the idea.

That's all fine - you can design your own program to your liking - but the 15lbs will come off with diet only. You could lift 2x per week with no cardio and still lose that weight. I hope you are just looking for variety and not attempting to '"HIIT" yourself down 15lbs. Lift to keep (or gain) muscle - diet to lose weight…

TDEE can be generally estimated for 95% of the population by multiplying your bodyweight by 14-16.... for women 14xBW=TDEE, men are usually in the 15xBW to 16xBW range... no need to get very complex with equations and such. You'll never be 100% right. If you are at a very high bodyfat percentage use the Katch-McArdle…

First of all, if you are not strength training - you will not really see the results you are truly looking for. But that's your prerogative in the end - with that said, if you choose to do only cardio-based workouts daily then no, you do not need a rest-day. Situps are known to cause herniated discs and host of other back…

You know most people don't realize that the number on the scale doesn't mean much - if that's what you're really after then your idea of fitness is severely flawed. 2lbs is 4 cups of water - if I drink 8 cups a day my weight can fluctuate 4 lbs from JUST water intake each and every day - not the mention the few lbs of food…
