No free refills where I live, and people are still overweight. I don't think soda has a lot to do with it.

Did you actually log everything you were eating (by weight)? If you didn't lose, it's because you weren't in a deficit.

Celiac checking in! I'm also lactose intolerant too :)

Diet coke has caffeine in it, so that's probably it. Other than that, it's basically water, sweetener, flavour and colouring.

I usually work out first thing. I might have a few dates if I'm feeling sluggish but the morning is usually when I can get the best out of my workouts.

We're not talking nutrition, we're talking energy. A calorie is a unit of energy. Every calorie has the same potential energy. Consume more potential energy than you use and your body will store it. Don't consume enough and your body will turn to said stores to get its energy. 70% of American's are obese because they…

Mentioning supersize me just blew your argument out of the water....

I second this.

How do you know you're losing muscle mass? I'm incredibly confused by what you're asking.

Honestly? No. Goal weight is generally just a generic number people choose to have something to work towards. If you've never been 'slim', like me, you'll have no basis for comparison. I chose a number that seemed about right (what I knew people around my height to weigh), and I readjust my goal as I get closer to it until…

Um can you provide a source for that? I'm calling total broscience. But really, you should be fine :)

I haven't seen a human dissection.

IMO, no. Tshirts are casual, tucking them in just looks wrong.

Yeah that's really not okay. Your NET calories should be at least 1200. You haven't given your age but I'd say you should be aiming for something more like 1500. You exercise? Then you need to eat more. Since you're a teenager, I would recommend talking to your doctor about this, since you're still growing and your…

I take great insult to that. And also wonder what your science sources are because they obviously aren't the same as mine. Because mine say calories are a unit of energy and therefore are all equal. Just like a mile is a mile regardless of who walks it.

Protein shakes have nothing to do with weight loss. So...none?If you're struggling to reach your protein goals, then whatever one you like the taste of is fine.

Well I didn't wanna say that. But I did ponder. :indifferent:

Guys this is like 3 years old, I don't think our advice will help either way.

The only person who's eating habit bothers me is a guy in my class. He runs off pies, instant noodles and energy drinks, at the same time he's in and out of hospital because he collapses due to malnutrition and has permanent heart damage now. But he just laughs it off. And then complains he's always sick. I don't actually…

So he says you're going too much BUT you won't get results from going only 4 days a week? Keep doing your thing, there's nothing wrong with going 4 days a week!

Log like any other day. There's nothing wrong with going over your calories once in a while, it won't ruin your weight loss. Just log the day and start fresh tomorrow!

I was always told it's 30% qualifications, 70% personality and how you get on with the interviewer. Considering all of my jobs have been in a kitchen, hiring me on my looks wouldn't be very useful.

It's honestly hard to say, different workouts have different benefits, how many calories you burn is only one aspect. If you JUST want a high calorie burn then it's alright, but the numbers are ballpark figures so a HRM would probably get you a better estimate of your burn. However, if it's a workout you enjoy and will do,…

If you don't log, how do you know how much you're eating? ETA: Two weeks isn't a plateau. Give it time.

You don't have to use the GPS, but if you do you can get caught by the zombies if you don't speed up enough (20% increase for a minute, I think?). There is a story, which I think helps a lot with the app. You're a runner based in a small township after the zombie apocalypse and each run is a certain mission. I believe the…

It sounds silly but are you eating your exercise calories back?

I have to agree. IMO, health isn't something people deserve, but a reward for hard work.

If you're confident in your burn number I would aim to eat back at least 50%. Because of the large number, not eating them back would create a huge deficit, which in the long run might not be the best idea.

How long before your workouts do you eat? Could you be going into your workouts too soon? I can't eat anything substantial within an hour of my HIIT workouts for the same reason.
