JUST FOR THE SAKE OF CURIOUSITY I decided to test this thing if it was true (in my case). I did about 50 minutes of my boxing training and my HRM told me I only burned 300 calories. When I looked at MFP estimates for 50 minutes, it was over 500 calories. That is why I never used their estimates because they seemed way too…

Ok.. so then what should my macros be? And you didn't answer my other question.
-
Ok, so I read through those links that you sent me and WOW all that information was just a lot. I decided not to go with the TDEE system, only because it's a bunch of numbers and mathematics that I just cannot comprehend right now. Also, I don't have that information to input. I decided to change my goals/macros. So now…
-
Ok, can you explain more what the TDEE thing is? I am extremely confused and overwhelmed by all this information. So if i run, use the stairmaster, bicycle, for my warmup 30minutes I can use my HRM for that. and when I do my training do not use my HRM calories and use MFP calories estimates??
-
I generally have over 100 g of protein per day and I weigh 150. How do you change your goals? What about my carbohydrates and fat? Again, I do intense boxing training and need the energy but I also need to lean out. Not sure what direction to go.
-
Well according to these references, i'm not gaining muscle at all so i don't know!
-
But then I'm eating more calories then right? I am so confused i thought it was calories in vs calories burned. I burn between 500-1000 calories a day according to my heart rate monitor.and I eat 1300 net calories. the basic math should be i would lose weight, aggressive or not.
-
Ok so I opened my diary. Um so this is frustrating, if i'm not accurately burning calories with my Heart rate monitor then what is the purpose of it? i got it so i could know exactly how much I was burning because i didn't like the estimates from MFP. I'll get a scale today.
-
So I'm not gaining muscles? that sucks
-
Yeah, also I know i'm gaining muscle too my back muscles are popping out more and my quads are largers. But i was also researching about cortisol and how when you increase exercise that could raise your stress levels and prevent you from losing weight. not sure if that is what is happening.
-
I don't use a scale, but I use measuring cups and spoons. I know I am not eating too many calories because I often am under my calorie limit. MFP did give me the 1300. I set to lose 2lbs a week because I wanted to lean out first. Most of my exercise is anaerobic/cardio but we do train with weights, medicine ball, bunsen…
