Yes I think you are right about weightlifting alone. But to clarify, a gym session for me is strength training for about 40min and 15 mintes cardio. In contrast... If I walk to the grocery store (im in a metroploitan area) and buy some groceries..and come back I somehow have burned more or similar calories via fitbit. I…

My problem with mfp is ill do a 350+ calorie burn workout in the gym and the if i walk half an hour it adds twice as many caloris burned which is just not accurate imo.( No way im burning more in a brief walk) So currently i have negative calories off because of this. A few years back i had edumundo and it was much more…

I have this problem too and its a real drag. I used to use edomundo to calc imp mybexercises and ditbit justbto yrack my hr. But now when i do exercises its annoying because ill spend an hour in the gym get a good 350 calorie burn. Great. But if i walk for like 20 minutes its show almostbtwice as much burn. As a result i…

MFP may be good for eating 90% of you calories back. This worked for me when I used another app years ago (endomondo anyone?) But its now defunct. So I use FITBIT HOWEVER, i think i may turn integration off and just add my exercise calories manually. Why? Well..fitbit adds all my burn calories when it "syncs" supposedly,…

I recommend sprints. Add some sprints at least twice a week. (along with lowering you calorie intake just a bit..)

I recommend. some Ground Turkey-which is a great lean protein! I make a batch and use it for tacos/protein with spaghetti squash/ a low cal Picadillo/ toss on salad - whatever.... It's great you feel more satisfied for longer.. Experiment with seasoning it..but avoid adding too much sodium! ;)

Ditto for me To what Project* said... The usual thinking is that "cardio is a warm up" . This is not accurate. (And I used to do that myself) You can do a little warm up if you wish but a full cardio session is not a 'warm up' for strength training. You want to have max energy when you go into strength sessions. And you…

what's good about some weightlifting is that your body will continue to 'burn' calories long after you work out. Don't worry about gaining muscle mass, if you work out to that extent you would actually have to increase your calorie intake significantly to actually gain mass. I also would say try to distribute your calorie…

I would suggest, no simple carbs at night if you are planning on a typical 8 hour sleep cycle (say 12-8am or 11-7am etc, etc). Just more Protein and veggies after 7pm. If you are waking up feeling 'starving' you definitely should have something some time before bed, just don't overdo. I used to wake up very hungry,…

-Beer for me. Lousy calorie waster. Sets me back every time! ;)
-
yeah this is a tricky one - I must say for me the big lesson has been that I need to distribute the calories more evenly throughout the day. They say this turns your body more into a 'furnace' burning calories constantly rather than as previously mentioned going into starvation mode. Slow and steady is a good sign that you…
