Whoops - double post. Ask him how it was measured and we'll go from there. Or post a pic and we can try to tell from the pic.

I will post tomorrow but not expecting much - if any at all. Not quite a sugar binge this past Sunday, but I ate more than I needed to.

What is his BF% Do you know it? I'm calculating his BMR at 1746. I found my TDEE was actually low on the IIFYM website.

I'm a numbers person too, I'll add you and if you have any additional questions, you can feel free to ask at any time!

Fructose in high amounts is hard on your liver. I would eat a little less fruit, and something with a little more fat, like avacados, or cashews, almonds... Just an idea. Great job on the loss so far!

I would say that's pretty close for a good number at 1634 for your BMR. But, keep in mind, this is the amount of calories you burn if you were sleeping 24/7. My BMR is about 1680. According to my LifeTrak, which is similar to a Fitbit, I typically burn an average of 2500-2700 calories a day, prior to exercise. I chaged my…

If your macro goals (%) are set into MFP as custom goals, the calories you add for exercise are still factored in for the % you have them set at. It does list your gross calories, your exercise calories and your net calories. If you look at the daily graph, it lists the % of what you have logged and compares it to what you…

[/quote] "And that is what i WANT to do, except it doesn't allow me to include the Macros of the calories that I eat back into the percentages." [/quote] MFP makes all those calculations for you. No worries. :smile:

What's your calorie goal and Basal Metabolic Rate?

2700 seems like it might actually be your BMR, not your TDEE. What are your stats? Here is the website I use for BMR: http://www.fat2fittools.com/tools/bmr/ It's accurate for me and it gives you an estimated calorie goal based on your "activity" level. My husband is 6'4", and his BMR is closer to 2800. Are you tall? Agree…

My BMR is around 1700 calories. I find I do best eating at least 2000 calories/day and eating exercise calories back. I have a device similar to a FitBit and I burn around 2700 calories a day prior to exercise. Weight loss is 80% nutrition, so rest assure that you CAN lose without the need to exercise. Exercise is 10% and…

Body composition has nothing to do with height, as you are aware, which is why BMI is stupid. I am 5'5", and three different people have done body fat testing on me using the 3 and 7 point caliper test. I know it's not entirely accurate, but I would believe they are generally correct as they are pretty close to one…

Are you eating primarily carbs? I would suggest eating more protein and more fat. Also, do you know your BMR? What is your calorie goal and how do you set it?

Great job on losing inches! I think that's where I want to see the most difference in my journey. It's a great think to know you are losing FAT, which is where the inches come off. Only question - have you ever had a body composition test done to know what your estimated body fat is? I think that is a way better indication…

After a high sugar binge this weekend, I can proudly say that I have maintained this week. Total loss to date is 0.26% with a loss this week of 0%. My ultimate goal for Memorial Day is to be down 7.65%, but would be okay with 5.01%. April includes Easter and my one year wedding anniversary so there is one weekend that I'll…

OP - how did it go? I tanned prior to my honeymoon last spring and I found it did prevent sunburn for the most part. I had never tanned before and got in 67 minutes in about 4 and a half weeks.

You do probably need to make sure your electrolytes are balanced, which is what G2 is good for. When I'm in running mode, I almost always have it available as I sweat out a lot of sodium. I think if it's barely putting you over 50 g of carbs, you're probably going to be fine. If you're getting a cold or something, your…

Go to the following website and enter your stats and activity level. http://www.proteinsmart.kashi.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=kashi%20protein%20calculator&utm_content=protein+calculator_exact&utm_campaign=Intention-Protein-Calculator&gclid=CIq7udnUob0CFY0-MgodtWQA6w#/calculator (Or just google Kashi…

Well, it's not as much as I wanted, but - yay! - I'm down 0.5 lb! That is (drumroll please!........................) a percentage of 0.26%. Weekly and Total loss to date. Memorial Day goal - 7.65%, which would put me at 22-23% BF as long as I don't lose any muscle. May have to change my weigh in day next week, we'll see.…

Muscle mass is not all that difficult to gain. Up calories gently, while adding protein. I eat 150 g or more protein a day.

I set my macros to the following: Carbs 30% Protein 25% Fat 45% Try eating nuts, greek yogurt, and the like. Get more fat and protein any way you can. :smile:

TommyJensen - a male should never eat below 1600 calories a day.

Eat more protein. I eat about 150 g per day.

1200 calories a day is too low for most people. Do you know your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) or Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)?

Are you seeing results?

You may be consuming a ton of sodium which will pack on the water weight. Eating more whole foods and prepping your own meals will cut sodium down a lot. If your calorie intake is really at 2500 calories, you'll lose weight at your size. I have my calorie intake at 2200-2400 calories for my frame and I'm losing - slowly,…

I've done rewards for smaller goals. But how small are you thinking? Several years ago I did WW, and the first 10 pounds came off in 2 weeks. It slowed down, and after some more loss, I added in small goals 10 pounds to keep me motivated. When I hit 45 lbs - I got a massage. At 55 lbs - I got a facial. At 65 lbs - I got my…

Try decreasing your carbs.

You are both ahead of me!
