Yesterday I had 2300 calories when i supposee to have 1500/day
-
My Goal weight is 140.. I'm 5'5

If it's all about calories in vs calories out. I should be able to eat cookies, candy and chips instead of fruits and veggies all I want as long as I don't go over my 1500 cal goal? Why are we told what to eat and what not to eat in order to lose weight?
-
Idk.. My friends are doing it :( is it true that if I'm not eating carbs, my body will be forced to burn fat?!?!
-
I was very strict on fast days.. I know I didn't eat over the 500. On the other days however, I would eat out a lot so I couldn't measure what I eat is guesstimate... I figure as long as I eat reasonably on those days ( I never binged) it would work because the next day would be a fast day
-
It's actually a twist on the 5:2 diet.. Eat 500 cals on fast days and maintenance the other days..
-
Yes I figured I'd add an extra fast day for even better results
-
THIS! Exactly what I meant!
-
I would eat about 2000which would still give me a deficit of over 5000 calories plus I was working out. I should have at least lost a pound a week
-
I get this! I don't count the calories I burn as "free calories" to eat more. If my goal is 1400/day I still eat 1400/day no matter what I've burned at the gym. I don't even either exercise in MFP because it automatically increased allowed calories
-
Ok..So I should focus more on maintaining muscle than building right now. Which means I still need to lift weights!?
-
So, If it's all about calories and not where it comes from, why is there so much focus on eating clean and staying away from "junk" food?
