Congrats. Yea, logging is really helping me realize how much under-eating I was doing and the opposite affect it was having on me. By eating my daily allowance and my excercise calories back, the weight is dropping. I'm very encouraged.
-
I guess then I'll track only the 30min cardio I do (~400cal) and not be concerned with tracking the 30min of weights that I am doing.
-
It is, but doesn't tell you how many calories are burned. How do I convert data from my HRM to calories burned?
-
What is IF
-
You may want to recalculate your Net Caloric Intake now that you lost 10/11lbs.
-
Do you mean if MFP is calculating the calories burned via exercise, only eat 50% of the amount burned back? why?
-
is a 100 or 200 cal difference between TDEE-20% and MFP not even something to be concerned with?
-
I work out 3-4 days per week. I do 30min eliptical (~400 Cal) and 30min weights (~100 Cal)
-
My only fear in trying to decide between the variance between TDEE and MFP is that I don't want my caloric intake to be too low where I put my body into starvation which is what I believe I have been doing all along.
-
Understood. I adjusted to 1lb/week.
-
First of all, I want to thank all of you for the personal education. I am learning a ton! Eric, I adjusted the MFP goals: 1550 = 2lbs/week 2050 = 1lbs/week 2300 = .5lbs/week So it seems that the .5lbs/week is closer to my TDEE-20% daily of 2300. To me however, I would like to have at least 1lb/week loss.
-
The TDEE-20% calculation for me would be 2300 The MFP calculation for me would be 1550 Given the large variance between the two, is it just a matter of picking one and trying it and adjusting? 1550 seems really low, but that is what MFP suggested since I want to try and loose 2lbs/week.
-
How does TDEE include exercise by just stating how many days you exercise? Wouldn't it very if someone is doing light vs heavy effort? Does it just take an average for that number of days you state you exercise?
-
Ok. I went to http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ and utilized the calculator, selecting the Mifflin-St Jeor formula. It states that my BMR is 1850 and my TDEE is 2625. Taking 80% of my TDEE, my Net Caloric intake should be roughly 2100 with exercise included. Is this correct? So if I burn 500 cal/day, I should make up that…
-
I guess i'm going for more toning with weights than bulking... Want to have some definition if I achieve the weight loss.
-
What is TDEE and how do I calculate that?
