It's a guideline. Guidelines are for the typical cases, not outliers. The vast majority of 5'8" males that weight 200 pounds are, in fact, obese. If you are an outlier, be happy you aren't one of them. :drinker: EDIT: There is something that feels off about your numbers. According them, you put on 10 pounds of LBM in four…

The only way to really know is with a power meter.

Adding HIIT to a solid aerobic base is a fantastic thing to do.

EPOC differential is minimal. Yes, HRMs over-inflate big time, and the worse shape you're in, the more they over-inflate.

I use Strava.

I use 2/3 of whatever Strava dumps out. That gets it pretty close to bikecalculator.com, most of the time.

Caffeinated products, sugared drinks have been completely eliminated. Alcohol, starchy foods, "white" grains have been mostly eliminated. Oh, and if it comes in a can or a box - probably eliminated, because I'm tired of the sodium bloat cycle.

There is no such thing as a "fat burning energy drink". Doesn't exist.

Over the past 24 hours, did all three disciplines, at HIM distances. Total time, 7 hours. I feel like *kitten* - really, my body is *done*! - but I got through it. And I still have 9 months left to get better! :drinker:

There's not a thing wrong with IF or one meal a day.

Slow down some more. Seriously, if you're just beginning running, you want to slow down to the point where you feel like an idiot for going so slow. :drinker: Speed will naturally come with time and miles...trust the process. You can totally do this! :smile:

A crap load of exercise. It allows much much looser rules on what the "right" foods are.

It's going to be tough losing weight by joining a gym unless it's accompanied by un-joining the kitchen.

Heart rate has little to do with it. At 190 pounds, 800 calories in running requires a running distance of 7 miles. Scale for your actual weight. Vast majority of people will not be able to do this on a daily basis, but it is certainly possible.

It's roughly a 100km ride on a bike. Doable every day, yes, absolutely, but only if most of the calorie burn is eaten back. Big burns + big deficits is a fantastic way to strip away lean body mass...

Then don't be. :drinker:

Just put the thing at 2% incline, and then plug the walking and running distances into MFP. Cut the walking number in half, and the running number by a third. Done.

Open your diary.

There are no exceptions.

In that case, I would log it as 'walking'. Use the exercise time from the machine, and 3.5mph as the speed (elliptical is half the METS of running so at best it was the equivalent of 5km -> 3 miles, but that's not a running speed, that's a walking speed). And then cut that number by a third, because MFP over-estimates…

How far can you run in 50 minutes?

+1

It depends on what you're after. In terms of raw calorie burn, they'll be about the same. But...the longer run, if you don't eat during the run, can cause a bigger fat-burning adaptation. Note that there is a big difference between "brisk walk" and running. If doing the shorter time twice lets you do the whole thing…

And it didn't do any good, at all. :drinker:

Wow. :smiley:

Great stuff! :Drinker:

Finished 4th week of the training plan. Roughly 400km on the bike and 120km running for the month - still lots of work to do, but no longer worried about completing the race. :drinker:

I use zoplicone - gotta love the self-induced coma! - no trouble losing weight.

It's only a small effect and easily offset by going for an extra 30-60 minute walk each day.

He has something to sell.
