  • I'm 5' 1.5". My TDEE is 1468. I eat anywhere from 800 to 1000 calories a day. I haven't started an exercise program yet and work at a desk all day so not much going on physically to justify any more calories than that. ETA: I do 20/4 intermittent fasting so I get to eat all those calories in one evening meal. During the…

  • quote: If you lost weight during that time period, you can multiply the pounds lost by 3500 and add that number to your total calories eaten for the week. Then divide that number by 7 to find your approximate TDEE for that week. But there is no way to know if you lost water or fat so how would that work? 0.5 lbs of fat and…
    in Average TDEE each week, is this calculate right? Comment by Marina809 July 2013
  • I've been doing 20/4 IF since June 3rd and I love it. All my adult life (and most of my teenage years) I've eaten like this naturally until I moved in with others who eat at least three meals a day. It wasn't long before I began to eat like them and gained thirty pounds. It doesn't sound like much but on a 5' 1" person it…

  • I did too and planned every bit of it. Barbeque chicken drumstick (skin on), 3 country style pork ribs, 1/2 of a really thick beef cheeseburger, baked beans, corn on the cob, potato salad, and a slice of Key Lime pie. I also nibbled on chips and dip while waiting for the food to cook. I may or may not be done yet. First…
    in COMPLETELY blew my diet today... Comment by Marina809 July 2013
  • Depends. Do you trust your body to tell you what you should do? Right now, my body is telling me to go into the kitchen and get three or more large Nestle Toll House Chocolate Lovers cookies and eat them one right after the other. I can't trust my body to tell me to do the right thing... it's a heathen for sure. Don't walk…

  • Kashi Go Lean... I discovered this and loved it to death. Within a few hours I felt like death, omg the gas. Never. Again. Was a pity since it was so good.

  • Or, she will drive herself to the store and buy the junk she wants after making a quick stop at Mickey D's for a little snack. She really needs to make the decision for herself but I get that not enabling her is a good thing.

  • I don't think there is anything you can say to her to make her want to change her life and health. It will have to come from within. What will cause that is anybody's guess. I don't think exercise is what she needs to concentrate on right away. A calorie deficit is critical for her right now and exercise may just put her…
