Does this imply that if one is eating better, lifting weights, doing cardio, but is eating just under their calorie limit, they won't be building muscle?? I am confused.

Would the fact that I'm "starving my body" (because I can't go eat frequently) affect my weight loss? Ex. slowing down metabolism and what not.

Yes, the pedometer. It tallies how many steps I take (by attaching a sensor to my shoe), and it converts that to calories based on my height and weight.

Thank you!

Although eating before you sleep if you are under your calorie goal deficit will not be an issue, from personal experience... it's honestly not the best idea to eat 2-3 hours before you sleep. I don't know all of the scientific reasoning behind it so I cannot explain it to you all, but having food in your stomach digesting…

Although I love my chocolate Special K Bars, I'd have to agree. They are essentially empty calories. But when I'm craving for that chocolate snack, I would opt for that instead of a actual real chocolate bar. Of course, having it as a treat once in a while is not a bad thing :)

But, from advice that I've heard from fitness people, it's simply just proportioning out the high sugar foods you eat. For example, Bananas are great snacks but often high in…

According to Turbo Fire, the definition of Calorie Deficit is "the number of calories you'd like to cut out of your current diet in order to lose weight". If you're aiming to lose one pound (3500 calories) a week, then it would average out to cutting back 500 calories every day. Some say it's debatable wether they should…

The "extra" calories you are allowed to consume after exercising is to ensure that your body is getting enough calories for it's normal functions (more so known as BMR). It's essentially a way to keep your body in balance, telling you that when you burn more calories from exercise, you need a little replenishment to keep…

I have read in articles before that it's not "mentally healthy" to stop on a scale more than once a week! Plus, like you said, seeing the differences in the numbers is very satisfying. I like to weigh myself after using the bathroom first thing in the morning, because then I know it will always be under the same…
