At around 140lbs you would have to be running a nonstop 10 minute mile to burn that much. Walking or jogging will not, unless you weigh significantly more.

A lot of that might be water weight, especially considering how sodium-packed BBQ food is. It shouldn't matter if you have a cheat meal or snack or anything else in the long run as long as you keep within your calorie limits.

(edited by moderator) the celery vs chocolate example is getting dangerously close to the negative calorie food myth, which isn't true. There is a difference in the energy expended to digest, which ends up being negligible, but the energy your body ABSORBS from the foods are the same. Nutrition is important, if you've been…

Why not? @emilytwist1 Like I said earlier, using my stats and the iifym counter it comes out to 1351. A 1700 tdee would be wonderful, haha. I'll definitely try weight lifting, and getting my bfp measured sounds like a good idea also, thanks.

@gigglesinthes hi, welcome! I'm pretty new myself too. Anyway, it's less about weight for me as it is about the aesthetics. If I follow some of these peoples' advice and bulk/tone and end up weighing more than I do now, but looking more proportionate, I'd be perfectly happy with that. And I definitely love my body, but I…

@tjthegreatone I've been on a 1000 calorie diet change, but my TDEE is a little over 1300 calories. What constitutes a "starvation diet" isn't the same for everyone. I see what you're saying, but if the jiggly bits aren't excess fat, what are they? Thanks for the tips. @boredeating haha, "skinny fat" is probably the best…

Of course! Eating refined carbs and sugars are digested very quickly and you'll be hungry again in an hour, which can lead to you eating more than if you ate whole grains and proteins, which keep you full for much longer and make the diet change much easier. Also, fat has a high calorie density than carbs and protein,…

The term "empty-calorie" refers to exactly what you said, a calorie without nutrition behind it--a poptart with no vitamins or benefits to…

Are you reading the other posts? The information here is WRONG, read cingle87's post. A calorie is a calorie, regardless of time, source, if the food was high-fat, etc. IT DOESN'T MATTER. Just be completely on the ball about calorie counting and it wouldn't matter if you ate your deficit in pizzas and lard, you'll still…

There's no such thing as a "good" calorie. A calorie is a calorie, a constant unit of energy that has nothing to do with where it comes from. Some foods with fiber and protein are "good" in that they keep you full and prevent you from injecting more calories, but the calories themselves are not different. You can lose…

What? There's no such thing as "too much cardio", that's completely ridiculous. Keep exercising as you'd like. As far as not being able to lose weight, don't worry, barring serious genetic issues (and even those only account for 5 - 10lb of extra weight), calories-in-calories-out applies to EVERYONE. Figure out your TDEE,…
