TDEE isn't a calorie tracker. :) It stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure and it's based on your height, weight, and activity level. A popular weight loss formula using this method is your TDEE -20%. Try this: https://tdeecalculator.net/ Also, I'm going to echo other posters and encourage you to get a food scale. It…

This. A lot of women experience weight fluctuations based on the time of the month, so you need to look at the broader picture. Focus on trends, not the day-to-day.

Think of that as free weight loss!

Your net cals seem low in your edit, I'm going to lead with that because you need to adequately fuel your body while remaining in deficit (20% deficit is the HIGHEST you should be going). It's a delicate balance, for sure. A possible answer to your question actually jumped out at me here: Sorry if this was already…

I think what you're overlooking is that the CICO models and calculators available to you are essentially ballpark figures - a starting point. YOU have to make adjustments based on the weight you are/are not losing. It's pretty simple: Gain weight, reduce your intake or increase activity. Lose too much weight, increase…

Once again, thank you for defining something I didn't ask for. I am aware of all of that. He did, however, suggest eating below your BMR, which is the amount of energy consumed if a person is entirely inactive (like sleeping) 24 hours a day. If a person is maintaining a calorie deficit of their TDEE (NOT BMR) -20%, that is…

I'm aware of the definition of cardio. Why are we assuming his heart rate isn't elevated? You should probably read the response I addressed directly to the OP. I want the person I responded to to validate their claim that walking will not help you lose weight. ETA: I'll rephrase my last sentence. I want him to validate his…

OP, exercise intensity should be viewed on a sliding scale. It directly relates to your fitness level. A more fit person (read: someone who can handle prolonged periods of high activity - weight is not necessarily a huge factor) will have a harder time elevating their heart rate, and thus will need to resort to more…

Can you tell us exactly what disqualifies walking as cardio/aerobic activity?

Finally come to terms with kegels, and now this?!

There it is... The magic words that will devolve this thread into a "is sugarz ebil" debate before page 2. Someone pass the popcorn. And just to reiterate, OP: No, banana milkshakes will not make you fat, so long as you are meeting your calorie and macro goals.

If you weighed the potato prior to cooking, log it as raw. If you weighed after, log it as cooked. Not all potatoes are the same, so weight changes may vary between types and sizes. Make sure you're logging the specific potato you use (e.g. Yukon Gold, fingerling, etc).

Okay... someone bring me the Fruit Loops! There must be a decoder ring somewhere for this. That can't be it!

Weight loss boils down to CICO (calories in < calories out). I would think if you're using whole ingredients without a lot of extras, this would probably work. However, if you're adding in butter, sugar, dairy fats, etc, it would be very easy to go over your daily calorie allotment. The only foolproof way to know exactly…

Is anyone willing to share their popcorn with me?
-
Not accidentally, no. Congrats, OP! Also, has anyone noticed the glaringly empty diary, or just me...

I didn't read the article. Just came here to say that you can't out-exercise a bad diet, which I'm sure is what the premise of said article was. ETA: I felt bad for not reading it, so I skimmed. Sounds like I was right on the mark. All they're saying is, "hey, kids, just because you're physically active doesn't mean you…

Is it safe now? Obligatory cat gif:
