oh gawd! if the group is still open, I'd love an invite. I just re-started eating more and need help to stay on track

I'm no expert but that sounds reasonable. I'm only 5'2", and a 142 lbs and my TDEE is 2181, my cut TDEE is 1700. Honestly, I can't imagine a grown man living off 1600 calories a day. Heck, even I couldn't do that. Well, I could but I'd go insane

I'd love to know too

bump so I can reread as needed

got it! I use a HRM. I don't burn 400 everyday though.2x a week I run for about 50 minutes and burn that or more. 3x a week I do cardio for only 15-30 minutes and do strength, though my program is very simple, akin to Stronglifts so I dont lift for an hour or something like other people. So on those days, no I'm not…

thanks! that spreadsheet is immensely helpful

oh sorry! I should have been more specific. My actual TDEE is around 2181. I ate well today and I still have about 600 calories left for dinner. I can see how it can be hard to make that many calories when you eat healthy. However, I could make that no problem eating nothing but crap. but that's not the way to go I…

with.

I used the one linked in the stickies. and I just found Heybales spreadsheet and got about the same thing. One gave me 1745 and the other 1780

thanks for breaking it down for me. Are you supposed to eat less on the days that you don't work out, or is it still the same (about 1700 calories)?

thanks. im embarrassed to say i'm still a little confused. i understand bmr and tdee, but the deficit things loses me a little. i shouldnt go below 1407 (bmr) right? so if i burn about 400 a day, i shoukd really be eating about 1800? so what about the days i dont work out?

I got my TDEE for the calculators :( I think it's an average right? I went and reread the stickies on BMR and TDEE. As I understand it, but I could be compltely wrong, your TDEE should be your BMR plus what you burn off when you exercise? So my BMR is 1407. I burned off about 400 x5 a week. So shouldn't my TDEE be closer…

subbing for more inspiration

awww, my question didn't get completely lost in the madness. Thanks!

huh? I am confused now. sorry. So I add something like 200 calories (I still have to check) to which number? my TDEE is 2181 and with a deficit it's 1745. So I should be eating 1945 calories a day? Does that go for days I don't work out too?

Imma gonna bypass the snarky comments and say that all the ladies here look AMAZEBALLS. OP (and everyone else)-how much cardio do you do? I just started doing Beautiful Bada$$ by Nia Shanks and I love it.

I'm not sure if your completely joking or half joking

thanks. I am seriously torn between following a 5k program and just running until I can't anymore, walking some, then running again. I find doing it my way more fun, because if I'm tired and the app tells me to run, I want to kill someone. But I also find that I may end up walking more than I would like. Sure, being…

I'm in!! Just what qualifies as junk?

thanks for the responses! I was reading through the threads and saw someone post about not getting chases or something. I did mission 1 today using just the Zombies app but I guess it didnt sync with my GPS because I got no data :( I'll try it again with Runtastic on Friday. If I redo the same mission, is it exactly the…

Nevermind. I figured it out :( sorry!

thanks, I'll google that!

subbing! thanks for the replies!

Thank you all. I think I need to stop letting the whole "running" thing play with my mind. I see other people on my route and I dont see them walk and they go faster than me. I am considering quitting Zero 2 10k now. I'm up to 8 min running, then there's 2 min of walking and once that's over, I feel like I just dont want…

Not experienced at all so this is a newbie answer, but are your shoes bad? The tread on my shoes looked good, but I kept getting pain in the ball of my foot. stuck my hand in and lo and behold, it was all worn down in that area. Got new Nikes and it's like magic

love this!

very true! I was just wondering if just by walking a few steps, does it discount you as a real runner? See, I told you all it was a silly question

thanks! I worked my way through C25K, got lazy, and now I'm back at it working through Zero 2 10K. I'd love to be able to run at least a whole 45 each time but IDK if that's possible. I can do it if I walk a few steps after awhile, but then I was wondering if I have to walk, even for like a min or less, am I not considered…

I actually downloaded Runtastic but have not used it yet since I'm still going through RunDouble's zero to 10K. Will Runtastic (or Endomondo) keep track of total miles over time, like until I reset it?

thanks! I'll check them out.
