In short - follow the goals. They take the BMR into account to give you a net intake amount. as it says the BMR is what your body would burn doing nothing to hold at roughly equilibrium - if you track your exercise here that will adjust your intake goal for the day at the reduced intake to give you a net deficit which…

It's actually precisely because of the fluctuations that I _do_ weigh daily - If I see 2,3,4,5,7 or 10 Lb change from the previous day (all of which I have seen) I don't freak out because I know it's just fluctuations, scale inaccuracies, or perhaps cosmic rays - that's why I do it daily. if I did it weekly and gained I…

Not on Atkins exactly - but very similar - complex carbs love to set up camp in my body far too much for me to eat many of them so I've learned over the years to avoid them. Always love new recipes and I have a bunch myself.

Many say to weigh once a week to avoid fluctuations - for me I weigh daily every morning same time in just my housecoat - it fluctuates +/- 3-7 pounds even at that time - and since I generally loose 1-2lb / week I find if I only weighed weekly I wouldn't have any idea of progress. So I weigh daily and watch the trend ymmv…

I once sat with HRH Prince Edward in a gazebo by a lake in the middle of a forest near Kelowna BC and chatted with him and just 1 other person for about 45 mins. or I Was once shot in the back with an arrow that accidentally flew threw a knot hole in a fence (nothing serious as much as surprising)
