In the end the differences are probably going to be minimal. I can't back that up with science, but the fact that you can lose weight by strength training alone, or running long distance alone, as long as you count your calories it probably won't make a difference on the specifics of which HIIT workout you do. The better…

First, keep in mind that all BF% calculations come with an amount of error. Second, you can quickly discern how long it will take you to lost an approximate amount of BF% based on calculating that as weightloss like this.... Total weight * (body fat % in decimal form) = Total fat on body Total Fat on Body - (amount of…

It seems you've labeled two different problems here and maybe identifying the worse of the 2 you can get a better idea of what to eat / how to approach the situation. Is the bigger problem grazing, so eating without being hungry? Or is it you're hungry a lot so you graze? One requires snacks that are low calorie but…

I drink a tablespoon of straight psyllium husks 3 times a day. One after breakfast, one after work, and one after dinner. I had to build up to this amount, because there is always an adjustment period for your system after upping your fiber intake or changing something drastically in your diet. I would give it time and…

If you're gonna eat the 2300, don't work it against anything. It's already factored in. If you work out that much and eat that amount the deficit is already included and calculating it doesn't change anything. Your best bet is to do that for a month, see what your drop is and use that to create a more concise and accurate…

Exactly what UsedToBeHusky is saying, now the way MFP works when you plug in exercise and such can add to the confusion of how much to eat and such so feel free to ask any questions on that. But if you stick to the numbers from above for a good portion of time, you'll see the weight come off. Good luck!!

http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ Go to this website, plug in your numbers for steps 1 - 5, ignore the weightloss percentage thing for now, we'll get to that after we have the right numbers and info. Then tell us what it says for your BMR and TDEE are.

What is your height and weight? It seems there's a chance you're mixing up TDEE and BMR but we need a little more info.

Just a few clarifying questions so that we can give you the most direct answer..... First, why only the 6 day week? Are you going to have a cheat day on the 7th day? Just curious as to the number 6. Also are you saying that for everything you eat in a day, calorie number "X", you are going to do "Y" amount of exercise so…

The other thing that I did besides just trying to find a low-cal version of my favorite drinks was to cut to one "drinking" night a week, meaning more than one or two beers, playing pong or other games, etc...., and on the morning of that one night, I would get up, eat breakfast then go work out for longer than any other…

Yo, I'm 22 and have been doing this whole fitness thing for years on different sites and recently moved to MFP. Feel free to add me and ask any questions you want. Just as a heads up there are TONS of people on here that wouldn't look like they belong on a "weight loss" website, but around here it's all about getting…

Without making a fool of myself by trying to be too technical when I am not an expert, the way I've read it and the way that seems to make sense is to lift first because for one, this is when you need quick, fire power and after you run even your upper body probably lacks this, and two you deplete your quick energy stores…

A lot of it is person to person, I can lift with a buddy and not be sweating and he can be drenched, but he sweats sitting still in the winter when the house is at a balmy 50 degrees, a lot also depends on the type of workout. When I do insanity, I'm soaked. I will literally sweat enough to soak through my compression…

22. Feel free to add me, just switched over to MFP from other sites, so I'm just getting going on the friend / motivator base.

I would just go with the tried and true program method until you have your legs underneath you in the weightroom. I will use the same logic to say that if you have ZERO lifting experience, stick to the machines for a time, unless your program says differently, at least until your muscles are comfortable with a lifting…

If that is your main question then "yes". You won't see the gains that you will hopefully be seeing by working out more this summer, but that doesn't mean you won't see gains. For example let's say for ease of numbers you are building one strand of muscle per workout. So previously you were building 3 strands of muscle per…

How many days a week are you currently working out? How many are you planning on involving strength training?

The first constarint on a workout schedule is time, but that, as you know, can change based on your personal schedule and time of year and such. I would not suggest limiting yourself now because you won't have time later, I would say it is better to take advantage of the time you have now to make big strides, but it…

Dryer's and Edy's, depending of if you're eastern or western US, both make a slow churned style of ice cream that is very deliciuos, and they sell them in smaller containers of only between 150 and 200 calories making it easy to limit yourself and control your portion. They are a little harder to find but if you do they're…

I do 10 minutes of light calisthenics to cover the stretching parts, and 30 minutes of vigorous for the actual workout. Then on the cardio recovery day since it's mainly just stretches and holds I log it as 30 minutes of yoga. Just one way to do it, I'm sure there are countless others.
