My RMR tested at 1900 calories. I workout an average of 250-300 calories. That puts me at 2,200 calories a day assuming I sleep 23 hours a day and work out for one. It doesn't account for my daily activity (probably another 700 - 1,000 a day based on online calculators). I've been at 2,100 calories or lower for 5 months.…

No, it was the actual dietitian. As far as going over, that's something I've tried for the last week+. on and off. Several members suggested eating more to lose weight and since I've been stuck in a plateau for almost two months I thought I'd give it a try. All I got out of it was that weird 7 lb swing in 3 days.

I agree that there is a lot of misinformation on here but all of the advice I took was from people who were successful on MFP and seconded by other successful members. Most seem to share these ideas: 1. Eat back your exercise calories 2. Calories in should be above BMR below TDEE (in my case TDEE being 2,950 - 3,550…

I started at pretty much the same stats as you. What I found was that MFP had me way too low and although I lost weight in the beginning I stalled out pretty quickly. I found that 2,100 - 2,200 calories per day was the ideal number and am back to losing between one and 1 1/2 pounds per week. I also eat back all of my…

My BMR came back at 2055. Seemed kind of high to me. I've upped my calories 500 a day (lose one pound a week instead of 2) but still hovering around the same weight from 5 weeks ago. Any other guys run into similar problems. Any suggestions?

This pretty much sums it up. It's definitely a lot more mental than physical. Start by just logging in your foods eveyday. Make sure Everything gets logged in accurately. Do this for a week or two so you can see how many calories you are really taking in. Take this time to seriously think about why/if you really want to…
