I am unfamiliar with that HRM, but if I am understanding correctly it doesn't take readings during the whole duration? Sounds like a pain. :/ I just have a bluetooth polar wearlink and strap it around my chest. Then I use an App on my phone to track my calories over the entire duration of the workout. It plots out my heart…

Don't be discouraged if the scale isn't going down. If you are losing inches and your weight is staying the same you are building muscle while burning fat. You should really get your body fat % tested. Seeing numbers will help be a motivation. Basing your progress only on your body weight is missing half the picture. You…

I really don't see any possible way to be able to even come up with a ballpark figure on this. Just go have fun and keep your diet clean until you get there. One night won't ruin your goals.

I have also noticed that weight training doesn't add to the calories expended. However, if you enter "weight" under the cardio section a calorie expenditure will come up under strength training. I honestly am not sure how accurate it is though. Weight training will be inconsistent from one person too another. A normal…

This. Matters on your goals. It is not required as long as your diet is in check to meet your goals. Personally I find being really skinny and unfit unappealing as a guy so I would never set myself up for a routine that set me in this course. My goal is to get in shape, not just get skinny. However, I am a guy so my goals…

Your calculations seem right. If you are only hitting 1000 cal net a day that is far too little calories, specially for a guy. Your basically crash dieting at that point. You will definitely lose weight, but when you run this extreme of a deficit you are also losing your lean body mass (LBM). That consists of your muscles,…

Matters on how I train for the week. When strength training, yes absolutely take rest days. The muscles need to time to repair. Down right unsafe to not do this. Weeks were I do a lot of very vigorous cardio like HIIT, hill sprints, or hike 30 miles I take rest days. If I don't there comes a point even with my diet…

Are you eating back some of the calories you are burning or just running your scheduled deficit+ the extra deficit from working out? If you aren't eating some of them back you could be running too large a deficit. Unless you have some under lying condition hunger is usually a sign your body needs more energy. What are your…

$99, that is steep. There are many e-books available for free if you search on google. I can't believe people would rather cough up $100 then just read a free book. No wonder our country is becoming fatter and stupider by the day. However, even if this is a marketing ploy it is promoting good health. So if you are too…

Who ever wrote this, you are awesome for coming out and saying this. Shame you are leaving the industry though now that you possess the correct knowledge and the backbone to teach people correctly. There are still a lot of dumb trainers and people who choose to follow advice from damaging diet plans. It's scary to think…

I know this is an older topic but it came up on a google search of mine. How is this even a debate anymore? If you aren't eating back the calories burnt and your diet is already set up for a daily calorie deficit you are effectively crash dieting. This a staple of any diet plan, sports nutrition book, and I would go as far…
