Agree with this. I think your wife is hinting at the need for you guys to sit down and talk about how thus is affecting all involved. :)

Krave cereal, yep, cereal, let the flaming begin lol. Although today I tried something for the first time and fell madly in love: oatmeal with chocolate protein powder and blueberries... O M G

HAHAHAHA, nice nice.

Great news, congrats! :D

Bump I may actually buy some quinoa next time and give one of these ideas a try.

Great nsvs! I just went to look at my dark circles after I read this lol. I think mine are still visible though. :p

Do you need to know your BF% to know your LBM? And I agree about setting up your meals in advance by focusing in meeting your protein first. I do that, however carbs and fat give me headaches still.

Pure win! :heart: and THIS ^ :laugh:

Ok, I think I get what you are doing now. :D You convert oz to lb to get weight that way and divide and multiple by 16. I was still using the 16 oz number. ;p So with my example, the 16 oz uncooked meat that gave me 3.5 oz for a serving following my formula after cooked, would be 1lb/4(servings)x16 = 4 oz A perfect 4 oz…

Bump for ideas =)

That's where I am as far as weight, still bouncing between 120-121, same weight for months now. Ending week 3 now of eating at tdee. This week has been a rest week, been very sick and only did some weights on Monday, other than that, no workouts at all all week. Have to go shopping today so at least Ill get to walk a bit.…

I must not understand how that works lol. Sorry, could you give me an actual example? Because if the chicken is 16 oz uncooked. Then you divide that by how many servings you get out of it, say 4, you have 4 then multiplying by 16= 64 no way that is 64 oz what you want for a serving, so what am I missing? >_<

Unfortunately, even those are wrong too. I have scanned many items and have had to search manually after because the info that comes up is wrong.

Bump to read later.

I dont eat out often but I still have problem staying under my 2500 sodium goal. =( I have been sick so I didnt care much yesterday but I prepared a lipton soup and my sodium shot up by 3k >_<

Bump for later as I too am starting to lift weights.

Gratz on your NSV! Sometimes it is tricky to keep up with the wardrobe while you are on this journey.

Entering week 3. The only weird thing I have noticed is since Friday, every morning I weigh .2 lbs heavier. *shrug* Was 120.2 on Friday, today I'm at 120.8. Some days 1700 is plenty of calories, other days, seems like I need/crave more. I started taking 1 protein shake a day on friday night. I wonder if that is what is…

Entering 2 weeks on reset and I am still on a plateau. Or Im guessing it is a plateau, shrug. I keep hovering at 120-121 lbs, depending on the time of day I weigh myself. But I have been at this weight for around 2 months now. I don't know what to do, maybe I should just not worry about losing more weight and accept that I…

So annoyed that they still not letting us play Sylvari <_<

That is correct. Only time you will eat exercise calories back is when "net" drops below BMR. Otherwise "food" should total your goal (tdee or cut value set by you) at the end of the day. =)

Check in: I started the repair/reset a week and a half ago. As I said before, I ate between 1100-1300 for a couple of months then I started the EMTWL mentality and upped to 1400 for a wk, then decided to do reset and eat at tdee.1700. I haven't gained or lost weight so far, I have been coasting at the usual 120-121lbs…

I'm wondering if I underestimated my calories burned when I calculated my Tdee. I keep using the 1-3 hrs of activity and this week I see I had 3+ hrs of activity already. I only thought of the time I actually work out at the gym which is usually 2-2.5 in a week, since the drop down menu uses the word "exercise". But I…

Haha, I had the same question a couple of days ago but yes, you eat TDEE everyday during reset. The only difference will be your net numbers will be lower when you workout if you log your workout burned calories. But as long as your total food intake is your tdee, you are golden. :D

Haha, I was having this issue yesterday, I looked at some diaries and noticed the numbers were all over the place, too low, too high etc and wanted to say something but I didn't. My husband convinced me I should keep my mouth shut lol.

I looked back through the posts and I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that I said the same thing as the previous person who answered your question - we just worded it differently. Always eat TDEE . You won't always net TDEE. On workout days your net will end up being under TDEE - you will need to eat more only if net is…

Wait, I thought this was clarified for me yesterday. You still eat your TDEE, even during workout days, and you should be netting your TDEE since exercise has been factored in already, hence TDEE. That is why some people choose not to log workouts, or only log 1 calorie per workout, so they can see the number they are at…
