He's here to show everyone how IFFYM works and dispel some broscience BS. Hence his username. And he did say cleanse. He didn't say lifestyle.

I'm not going to tell them I'm going to leave, but I will tell them they need to look for a real nutritional counselor. Sure she's 'independent' and rents space there, but it reflects poorly on the gym itself. Not only is she trying to push a 'product' [well most MLM's would say "SHARE"] but she has no clue about actual…

Can't see your body stats so I can only give you a general answer. A good rule of thumb when eating at a deficit would be to try to average out your calorie goal over every couple of days. Hopefully your deficit is safe to begin with. Your body can only utilize so much energy from fat stores (varies based on the amount of…

Just shoot for a daily goal. Don't worry about timing. And you don't have to get it from powder/shakes. It's fine if that's what you prefer but you'll probably find food more satiating. Should be fine with .8g per lb.

Like I said, I agree with your math. You jumped in the middle of a conversation just trying to be helpful but it also looked like you were saying that macros matter so much when it comes to weight loss.. just because of the thread you were replying to. I was really looking for neanderthin's math because what he wrote…

While I agree with your math and that a 'calorie' isn't technically a 'calorie', we both know there is no exact BMR either, but that's what we are all using at a point of measure. We know that some days the resting metabolic rate is different than others; one reason being that a persons average macro intake over a period…

Can you provide an example using real world macro numbers explaining how a given persons different macro intakes at the same caloric deficit would affect the amount of weight loss due to different TEF's and by exactly how much? I'm asking this because your previous post is unclear.

I think you meant to say carbs have a higher TEF than fats, correct?

I don't know your current weight or BMR but based on the amount you're looking to lose, 1200 cals has to be too low. If you're constantly at too much of a deficit, you risk losing lean body mass (muscle/bone/etc) Your body can only use so many calories from fat storage for energy and then it will default to using LBM. A…

If you're looking to wear something throughout the day, look at the Basis smartwatch. http://www.mybasis.com/ Has a HRM but last time I checked, doesn't sync with MFP. You should also know HRM's which are worn on wrists don't accurately count calorie burn from high intensity exercise. Also, try googling wrist wearable…

What this guy said ^^ In a steady caloric deficit, carbs don't matter at all. It's the deficit that matters. If you're regularly consuming less calories than you expend, you will lose weight even if you've eaten all junk food. Of course that's not the healthiest thing to do, but this thread is about losing weight. Calories…

I could be wrong but it doesn't seem like protein powder is for you, considering you don't like shakes or sugary things. Why not just get your protein from actual foods instead? As long as you can hit your daily protein requirement within a 24 hour period, you'll be more than fine. Personally, I look at protein powder as a…

Congrats! Nothing feels better than totally changing your body composition and getting the body you never thought you'd have.

I won't speak on anything I don't have experience with and I don't run or do the elliptical. The only thing I can tell you is MFP's calorie burn #'s for cycling are way overestimated. I don't even know how it could guess, considering it has no clue what your mileage or cadence was. If the elliptical and or recumbent bike…

What she said^^ For example, if your maintenance/tdee is 2000 cal and all you eat is 1800 cal of Reeses Pieces every day, you will lose fat on a constant basis. Obviously it's not the healthiest thing to do.. and most of those brand name diets aren't healthy either. They deprive you of essential macro and micronutrients.…

Since I've spent so much time reading different reviews and doing research recently, I'll share the best of what I've found. A Fitbit is more of a device to keep you motivated and on track, rather than an accurate calorie counter. The newly released Fitbit Force is supposedly much more accurate than the Flex when it comes…
