Cool, thanks. I just really don't eat bananas very often so haven't weighed many and wanted to be aware just incase I ever grab n go with one. Probably won't, lol.

Honestly, that feeling that you NEED to work off calories when you binge is a crappy feeling and probably not the best mindset to have on this "journey" (sorry, hate that word, so corny). It becomes a cycle...eat over your calories, feel guilty, try to work it all off. If going to the gym to get your heart pumping will…

120 calories

If you're trying to say to work on a weekly average caloric intake to maintain weight, yes. There are some other things in there that sound confusing. And you can eat more than 3500 calories in a day and not gain fat depending on your TDEE and your average calorie intake across the week.

I'd personally not eat it as well because I think they're calorie dense little suckers for what they offer. But if I were going too keep eating them and didn't want to weigh, I'd just consistently choose 120 calories. By the way, has any one ever weighed a banana and had one come in over 120? I'm just curious.

I've done TDEE for two years without a tracker. But yes, it's a bit of trial and error.

Do you keep your wrist straight? Too much flexion is not good.

Okay, across the week. Yeah it's a big difference. Why don't you try losing on 1500. If it doesn't work in a week or two go to 1400. First I'd see what the calculator on Scooby's says too.

If you walk 2 miles per day and do no other physical activity I think you're basically sedentary. I'm lightly active and I walk about 5 miles per day and lift 4x per week. When I want to find TDEE I use what IIFYM and Scooby's calculator gives me, and take the difference. Or, since I don't do extra cardio, I just set my…

A day pass at a gym. I'm traveling but gotta get it done.

OP, you mentioned cutting cardio and doing weights. You also mentioned not seeing results from what you were doing. Just wanted to chime in to say I saw the best results from minimizing cardio, and focusing on lifting and calories.

No. And if I didn't like nuts I definitely wouldn't force myself to eat them while trying to lose weight, as they are very calorie dense.

I use the number MFP gives me as maintenance as my TDEE. I adjust my calories from there. I work on a weekly average so I eat low during the week and in a surplus on the weekend. It averages to MFP maintenance.

MFP gives me my TDEE because I don't do cardio, therefore I don't really use the NEAT method anyway. I've always used the number it gives me for my activity level as my TDEE and gone from there. I adjust my calories up or down depending on my goal, and set my macros at .8-1g per lb of BW protein, .35-.4 for fat, the rest…

Are you trying to lose weight? Do you have other health goals? Start by logging your food and getting into a deficit. Add some fruit and vegetables if you are lacking.

I don't do exercise I really hate. Maybe you should find something you like?

Well you have the ingredients and this app...try logging it.

I have a problem similar to this except I can't pull it together for a 250 calorie daily deficit either.

I was on the road for 7 hours today. Protein bars, beef jerky, coffee and diet soda for me :) Relatively low calorie, high protein, and delicious.

Right. Give me meat or whiskey.

I wish I was 8-5. 6:30 to 5:00 here :( Technically 7:20-4:30 but that doesn't happen ever.

I dunno. Diet soda helps me eat less. I eat like 500 calories worth of pretzels at work most days. I just know that if I do that...whoops, that's lunch. Because I'm not skipping dinner or dessert.

I'm up around 300 on hip thrusts. I haven't done them in awhile because I cut out accessories before my powerlifting meet. Interested to see where I am in the 3 rep range within the next few weeks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcZ63EZ6vII

Yeah I know...that's why I wasn't sure lol.

Is it...sexual?

I've heard it because I"m an early childhood/elementary school music teacher but I've never seen that video.

@lstrat115 WTF is that?! I'm dying.

OMG. My K-2 kids will love this. Thanks.

Too many calories in a banana. Doesn't fit my macros. Gimme meat.
