I started my journey over 50 days ago and have had very positive results. My routine is as follows : 1. Drink at least 2L of water per day, 2. Drink my coffee black, 3. Weigh/Log every single meal (I also watch my macros), 4. Weightlifting (Started 3 times / week, now I'm at 4) 5. I only eat back half my exercise calories,…

Alot of professionals are no longer recommending Keto, when I cut carbs, my body was not happy at all, and my energy level was shot. I highly recommend logging and fitting in your macros as per the percentages MFP gives you, possibility a bit more if you are looking to sustain muscle mass.

I'm 25lbs down 45lbs to go. 41 day streak of tracking. All you guys feel free to add me.

Coffee, Black.

The calories I have left are exercise calories. If I calculate my workout calories at 50% I probably have 50 calories to work with, with my exercise calories at 100%, I have 400 calories to work with. I am still figuring out my calculations, logging, and exercise burn.

I'm guessing it depends on your start weight. I'm on day 34 and have lost 22lbs. But I do expect the first 10 lbs were water weight because they come off really quickly.

So overall, I gather from all of your advice. Eat back some or all of my exercise calories, and continue with a steady, healthy weight loss. Thanks guys.

That's what I figured. As I progress, my true data is going to be weight lost/gained based on my recorded calorie intake / expended.

I'm looking at trading in my Garmin for a Fitbit Ionic, apparently their HR monitoring technology has the ability to give accurate calorie burn data. https://www.fitbit.com/en-ca/purepulse

What do you mean by harm?

I have an unintelligent tracker (Garmin 225) build for running. When I hit the gym I turn it on without the GPS, and it thinks I'm running, although it is tracking my heart rate. I normally begin my training with 5 min on the treadmill, and then jump on the weights quite aggressively with variable rest cycles. My heart…

It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Adjusted fire this morning: Onion - Onion, 89 grams Tomatoes - Tomatoes, 83 grams Generic - Bell Pepper - Orange, 226 g Snowdon Bakery - Rye Bread (Pain De Seigle), 1 slice Egg - Egg, 100 g liberte - 0% vanilla greek yogourt, 126 milliliter Black Diamond - Marble Cheese Stick, 1 stick 80g 1 olive oil - 1 Olive Oil, 0.5 tbs…

C: I'm only on month 2 of my journey, I am tracking like any other day. Adding extra gym time if I expect to have a family dinner, so far it has worked.

This morning's breakfast was good but I think a bit heavy on the fats: Onion - Onion, 80 grams Tomatoes - Tomatoes, 134 grams Maple Leaf - Low Sodium Bacon Cooked, 3 slices Black Diamond - Marble Cheese Stick, 1 stick Susan's - Burnbrae Farms - Extra-large Eggs, 2 egg Mestemacher - Bread, 1 slice 1 olive oil - 1 Olive Oil,…

Thanks. I've been drinking alot of water, at least 8 glasses a day (I walk around with my Nalgene bottle). I'm following what MFP tells me for nutrients, macros and micros.

I found that using the food diary was really helpful (although I am only on day 30). Understanding what I eat has helped me adjust along the way bit by bit, but you have to be disciplined enough to enter every piece of food you eat including all the "bad foods".

Yes I am, veggies and fruits throughout the day.

I've never been a fan of raw veggies for breakfast, I don't mind em at lunch or dinner. It just feels weird. How or what veggies do you eat with your breakfast? And what variety do you recommend?

Alright, some data for you. I went out with friends and finished a bottle and a half of white wine last night. At my weigh in this morning I only gained 0.2lbs. I'm going to chalk this up as a win. Here was my recipe: Yesterday, I woke up and had Bacon, Eggs, Toast, and a Clementine for breakfast. With coffee of course.…

There is lots to do in Mtl, good food, festivals, music, or you can experience wild Canada just outside the city.

That's alot of protein. The only day I successfully made to 130g was after eating eggs for breakfast, post workout protein shake, and two chicken breasts for lunch / dinner. Two questions: 1. What do you recommend, other than chugging shakes? Alot of the other proteins come with more carbs and fats. 2. Why do you increase…

Thanks for all the support. Will be checking in every once in a while.

My food scale arrived from Amazon this am, used it for the first time today for breakfast. There were a few days when I noticed a decrease in energy and I identified that as a lack of complex carbs at breakfast. Cheerios for breakfast were really no good. What has worked well for me is oatmeal, eggs, toast, bacon, meat,…

Just keeping it within AHA norms 1500-2300mg / day. Cutting out processed foods etc.

Calories are set at 1800 / day which is what MFP gave me for a loss of 1.5lbs per week. My daily calorie intake increases when I train, but not by much. I mainly drink a protein shake after the gym which gives me an extra 200cal +/-. Macros: Carbs 203g Proteins 113g Fats 60g I'm also limiting salt intake.

Thank's for the advice, I just picked up some cheese sticks (80 cal/stick) and small Lindt chocolate balls (90 cal /3). I've already added them to my food diary, and I expect to still be under my daily calorie goal. Let's see how this goes.

Yup, I feel you shiftwork does not make life easy.

What snacks have you guys used to supplement meals and water throughout the day to battle cravings?
