^^^ This ^^^ NOT This

Also, scoobys takes into account activity level in setting your target, while MFP assumes you will eat back exercise calories, so the 2 targets are probably pretty close when accounted for correctly.

Hehehe. Thanks for the laugh.

Thread fail

A caloric deficit is what you need to be focusing on. Unless you have a medical reason, you do not need to give up gluten. Nuts are very dense in calories due to the fat content, so keep tabs on how much you eat. Rather than estimating portion sizes, which can be grossly inaccurate, I would suggest you figure out the…

The OP needs solutions, and is still obviously figuring out how this works. Good for you for liking to reduce your carb intake, but I don't see how that is applicable to this thread. The OP never mentioned wanting to reduce carbs, so why are you bringing up your selected choice when the OP is still trying to learn the…

I would reduce your deficit to account for .5 lbs per week. Increase protien intake to .8-1g per lb of body weight. Learn resistance training of some sort. Doesn't have to be weights if you don't want to, or dont have access to them. Body weight training can provide adequate resistance, especially to an untrained…

If you don't know why you want to do this, nobody else's strategy will help you. I am vain, and don't want to be the chubby dude with the ripped wife. That's my motivation. Yours will likely be different.

If you have not been doing any resistance training, there is a strong probability that you have and will continue to lose muscle mass along with fat as you lose weight. As such, the "spare tyre" will not go away by default, just because you lose yet another stone, if too much of that weight is more lost muscle. I would…

Thats frightening

As one who has witnessed first hand the issues with conventional dairy farming, I have to agree, off topic and not the right place to start this conversation. OP-I use almond milk as the base for my protein shakes as the calorie savings allow me to add other things to the shake to improve flavor.

How you choose to breathe during is entirely up to you.

How much have you lost thus far, and what has your exercise program been?

I've said it before, bateing is far more productive than baiting. Joys of the internet.

May I ask what your primary objective is? 6'3" and 173lbs is right in the middle of the healthy BMI range. Why specifically are you looking to drop 1 stone, and so focused on calories burned via steps? At your height, if you are displeased with appearance, it could possibly be from a lack of muscle mass, and if that's the…

OP posts contentious topic, never to return. Baitng at it's finest

Not sure what's funnier. The joke of the OP, or your jokingly thanking for the info. You were joking right? Sarcasm gets so easily lost in typed form. I'll just go with it was a joke. Hahaha!!! Good one!

No process works without a calorie deficit. If you weren't successful with MFP's process, you weren't in a deficit. The same will hold true with the new program you are starting.

No calculation is perfect, they are all estimates. I see them as a useful tool for creating a starting point, and then adjusting accordingly over time. One can not perfectly estimate calories eaten, nor perfectly estimate TDEE, but its useful to get a ballpark number of both. More importantly, I find their value in…

I am amused at the fact that the OP has tried to divert this discussion away from the scam she bought into, by only responding about her troubles with the app, so as to not acknowledge that she was scammed, or is a part of the scam.

Its interesting that you found out about PCOS a month ago yet 8 days ago chose a diet that has less application toward your particular condition.

Meh, no worries, just add it to your collection.

Meal timing does not matter. Eat when you are hungry or fits with your schedule. Lots of fruits and veggies are fine, and serving sizes don't matter as long as the calories you are consuming don't put you over your daily target and aren't limiting the amount of protein and fat you need per day.

The more aggressive your weight loss, the more likely you will lose more muscle than you would like. If preservation of muscle is a primary concern, I would suggest setting a 1lb per week loss target, while also making sure to eat adequate protein and doing some form of weight training.

With you being on a keto based diet, what are you eating that prevents hitting a 25% protein target? Just curious, as most significant low-carb people I know have no difficulty hitting protein and fat goals. I also struggle at times with hitting protein, but that comes from my diet being mostly vegetarian, with occasional…

A couple things. First, and this is very important, trainers are notorious for giving garbage dietary advice. It is very rare for them to have received proper education in that realm. Heck, the same can be said about most doctors. Barring a medical condition, low-carb will not help you beyond maintaining your calorie…

OP, I would suggest looking into a Starting Strength or Stronglifts type program. They are well structured, only use a few exercises, and work the entire body only 3 days per week. You will need access to heavy weights though, so a gym would be handy. If you intend to workout at home, and don't plan to purchase weights, a…

Much less fat as a benefit, while eating guacamole, made me chuckle.

Almond milk in protein shakes. Dunno why, just tastes better to me. If I need more calories, I'll add PB instead of the whole milk I used before.
