  • Yes eat them back, MFP gives you a calories goal with a deficit in it already before you exercise. Exercising will make your deficit even bigger which is why MFP gives you calories back to eat so that you can stay within a healthy deficit.
  • Yes, eat back your exercise calories because that is how MFP works. You might find people who dont because they are using the TDEE method which is different from the MFP method because it already accounts for exercise in their calories. MFP gives you a number with a deficit already without exercise, so when you work out…
  • Teach your son judo! He can use the bullys punches as momentum and throw them across the room.
  • What you need to do is put your son into some type of martial arts so he can defend himself.
  • If you got the 1400 calories as a daily goal from MFP and chose to lose 1lb a week, that should be a deficit of 500 calories before exercise. So, even if you ate over 1400 calories by lets say 400 calories, you should still be able to lose weight but it will just be a slower process. You shouldn't get nervous to eat your…
  • Well, you should never net under 1200 calories which you probably are if you dont eat over 1200 and exercise. By eating 1600-1700 calories plus the exercise you are doing, im guessing you are netting about 1200, so you should still be losing. FYI the number MFP gives you already has a deficit in it before exercise, when…
  • I think that you should try upping your calories before quiting weed.
  • If you're within your weekly calories, I dont see the harm if you fast one day and make up the calories the next day.
  • When your muscle are depleted of glycogen, they will look more flat and makes it appear to have less muscle in proportion with your bodyfat. This happens to me whenever I go low in carbs. Now that I eat carbs, a lot of carbs, my muscle look more fullier giving it the appearance of having more muscle compared to bodyfat.…
  • I feel guilty on days when I dont get enough calories.
  • Squats! No one mentioned squats! Especially high bar squats which is more quad dominant.
  • Looks like you're doing low bar squats with a high bar position. With a high bar position, your torso should remain more upright and the first movements should be from the knees. Doing low bar squats, the first movements should be from the hip and you should sit into the squat. Your form looks like low bar squat form, so…
  • Looking through your diary, it doesn't seam like your eating back your exercise calories which you should be doing. MFP gives you a number that has a deficit in it already, when you work out, you make that deficit bigger which is why MFP gives you calories back to eat.
  • I think what you are experiencing is the pump which usally occurs when doing higher reps, it will 100% go away.
  • MFP give you a number that has a deficit in it already without exercise, when you exercise you create an even larger deficit which is why MFP gives you calories back to eat.
  • Strength training! While eating a deficit, strength training can help you retain lean body mass while losing weight, thus lowering your bodyfat percetange. Losing weight does not get rid of love handles or lower stomach fat, lowering your bodyfat percentage does.
  • 200 days with out much protein or fats, you'll lose a lot of muscle from not consuming enough protein and your hormones will probably be out of whack from not consuming enough fats in your diet.
  • Because 1200 is the lowest amount that MFP will give anyone. 1200 might be ok if you're short and truly sedentary, but most people want to lose fast so they set their account to lose 2lbs a week so MFP gives them the lowest which is 1200 calories.
  • Rather spend my money on whey protein.
  • Green veggies, they are high in volume and low in calories to keep you full.
  • You're not really consistent with logging in your food diary, be more consistent and that should help.
  • Once you get more fit, you will burn less calories doing the same exercise. So maybe you have to up the intensity of you workout to recompensate the lack of calories you are burning for being more fit.
  • I would try 1500-1700 for a few weeks and if it works stick with it, if it doesnt then lower it. Might as well start off on the higher end and once you hit a plateau you'll be able to lower you calories, as if you went straight to 1200 and hit a plateau then you would have to go lower than minmum to lose weight.
  • Lactose is the sugar in milk, so it could be that type of milk sugar that upsets your stomach.
  • I read her profile and it says shes eat 1200 calories and does NOT eat back her exercise calories. However, every other saterday she would take a break from dieting an usually consumes 4000 calories on those days on average. So in a way she DOES eat back her exercise calories or atleast some of them back, just not on the…
  • IIFYM (If It Fits You're Macros), it allows you to fit in some treats in your diet as long as it fits your macros. It can make you feel less deprived allowing treats while eating a mostly "healthy" diet. If you choose to do this, I would recommend changing the MFP protein macro because it is on the lower side.

  • Eat a deficit, exercise, and give it time.
  • We'll if you choose a sedentary TDEE and eat back your exercise calories, you might as well do the MFP method.
  • TDEE method accounts for exercise so you are not supposed to eat back exercise calories doing this method.
