  • I keep a spreadsheet that I pop in intake, TDEE, Protein, and daily net. I then use that to keep a running daily average of the past seven days. I also keep a 14 day net average that I find more accurately reflects weight loss/gain than what a 7 day average does and helps to flatten out the curve for maintenance cals. But…

  • I am on a 17 day hard cut. So far I am averaging 2004 cals a day which is a 1237 average daily deficit. My deficit is higher M-F and a little more reasonable on the weekends. My daughter has been sick all week so I have only managed two workouts. If I hit my belly measurement early I will quit the cut early and go into…

  • I'm good at not eating my daughters leftovers, but she is big into feeding me from her plate right now. A person cannot refuse food from a 2 year old when it makes her so happy to give it to you.

  • I figure there isn't enough to make a difference so I lick that puppy clean. Just record your first brownie as 1.05 servings if it makes you feel better.

  • My family all lives around there. It is tourist-y so they have all the fast food places. I like Culvers. Order a kids meal and there is a coupon for a free cone on bag!

  • Fry up some bacon. Cook the potatoes in the pan with the bacon grease. Scramble some eggs in the pan with onions and peppers after the potatoes are done. Breakfast!

  • Add me if you would like. I have the tenth doctor's sonic in my office and the elevenths at home. I have the starry night tardis picture from the episode 'Vincent and the Doctor' hanging in my two year old daughter's room!

  • One of the sites I visit everyday. It is nice going to a forum that is very open minded to everyone's input and the discussions remain positive and on point. I like the guilds and six week challenge setup. The only drawback for me is the default diet/lifestyle is paleo, which seems weird to me since it is a…

    in What are you having for breakfast? Comment by steveocy1 August 2014
  • My only rule with protein bars is they have to have a 10-to-1 calorie to protein ratio (or less). Anything beyond usually has way too much sugar for my liking. Currently I have a box of Life Choice double chocolate bars from wallyworld. They are 190 cals to 21 grams of protein. So they fit into my rule. I only eat a…

  • When I lift I use my HRM, but I record the time in MFP as cardiovascular circuit training for the amount of time that I spent lifting (i.e 45 minutes). That nets me about 65-70% of what my HRM tells me. I have 18 months of spreadsheets with tons of data and this method is pretty much spot on for me and my results reflect…

  • I have the same problem. My solution is two fold. First it is easy for me to eat light, low calorie meals during the day. I am at work so I don't have an opportunity to eat anything other than what I have brought with me. Basically a light breakfast at home (Special K protein cereal with skim milk) a light lunch (sandwich,…

  • At 294 lbs I wouldn't worry too much about eating back your exercise calories. If you find you are hungry or lack energy from the extra exercise you could eat some back. At your current weight a deficit of 1lb a week is a slow loss. Losing 2lbs a week wouldn't be considered excessive in any way. You can treat your current…
    in Do you HAVE to eat back exercise calories? Comment by steveocy1 October 2013
  • I log the lowest for the day whether it was up or down. It is the only way to see short and long term patterns so you can adjust. Monday through Friday I weigh myself 3-4 times a day, record them all and keep the lowest one as the official weight for the day. The weekends I am usually on the go and sometimes don't get a…

  • In my opinion the best thing you can do while bulking is to get a tape measure, I use a fabric one. I then measure my waist at the smallest point, fully flexed, exhaled, and tape pulled tight. This way the tape is fully cheated and I don't have to worry about adding error by pulling tighter or looser the next time and it's…

  • Depending on what I am in the mood for I rotate through 100 cal popcorn bags, light pudding cups, dream easy hot tea, and pickles (0 cals but you have to watch sodium count). --Steveo
