If it's not something you think you can stick to, don't do it. "There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure." -Colin Powell

You can create your own exercise. Planking burns ~ 3-4 calories/min for a 150lb person. I'd call it 0 if it were me, but some people want numbers!

I'll throw in another vote for Jaybird Wireless BT earbuds. Those things are amazing.

I'm doing 1 protein smoothie a day. It's a good way for me to get some raw fruits and veggies in. I normally hate eating them, but love my smoothies. I think 3 a day is overboard.

Good on you :)

I have a food scale at home. Every morning I weigh each component of my post-workout shake. I have logged my food daily for 285 days in MyFitnessPal. I understand being obsessed and wanting to be accurate. That being said, please don't forget the setting of this advice. You are out to dinner with your family. The first…

None of these answers are really meals... Here's a meal! 1 8 oz chicken breast, pounded lightly to 1/2" thickness - 250 cals 3/52/0 1 tbsp olive oil - 120 cal 14/0/0 Any spices you like (I use garlic,pepper, paprika, salt, cumin, and chili powder. Percentage wise, the things in the front of that list are the most prominent…

Yes, an autistic family member weighing chips and salsa for the purposes of staying within his/her macros and calorie limits would be off-putting. I agree with PikaKnight, though - that argument is a bit extremist. It's not so much caring what people think, but having self-awareness. You should definitely do what you want…

Are you gonna whip out a scale and measure the chips and salsa? Seems a bit extreme. Good on you for watching yourself, but making a big display about it is a bit off-putting. I'd recommend just mentally keeping track of the number of chips you are eating while enjoying the company of your family. I am not trying to be…

1 can black beans 1 jar salsa 1 cup frozen corn 1 taco seasoning packet 2-2.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast or thigh additional garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper for seasoning Put everything in a crockpot for 3-4 hrs on high or 6-7 on low. Use two forks to shred chicken at the end. This…

I take it a step further and weigh the end product and divide that number by 6. Then I know exactly what a portion is.

No, it's not possible to lose weight by counting calories. :| :| :| ;)

Some people advocate full-body routines 3 times a week. If you want to do more a week, you should look for a routine that will rotate body groups so you give your muscles adequate time to rest. Either will work, full-body 3 times a week is probably the most efficient/quickest, but the most important thing to me is…

I'd take a closer look at what is making up those 1300 calories. Here is a relatively filling meal with about 360 calories and only 1g of fat and low sodium: 1 serving Kashi GoLean (52g) 1 Chobani Simply 100 yogurt 1 medium apple That's my go-to meal when I've had a particularly fatty splurge meal (burger, ribs, wings,…

I am experiencing the same thing right now. I set an agressive goal for myself. As I neared my goal, I realized that I would hit it and still not have the body I envisioned. I replaced the weight loss goal with a strength training goal. I'm still counting calories but I'm way more interested in what I see in the mirror…

I agree with what others have posted. Also watch out for the serving size of the Frito's you use. Chances are you could end up adding a lot more than the package of fake ones that come in the box.

That is awesome!!! When I go to a restaurant, I try to be as accurate as possible. A lot of restaurants post their nutritional information. For example, last night I had riblets :open_mouth: . I went to not Applebees, but used their riblet basket as an equivalent. I knew this is innacurate, so I try to watch my portion and…

You'd be surprised how much a banana can weigh regardless of what is marked as a serving. I've had them be 2.2 bananas.

What is this?: Quick Added Calories, 200 calories Quick Added Calories, 200 calories And why do all of your bananas have the same calories? :smile:

That sounds normal to me. I get up at 6:00 and am tired around 10:00 and I don't even have a 4 year old. :smiley:

I'd have to see your log to make a more detailed comment, but at your height and weight there is not much wiggle room as far as calories go to lose weight. Your TDEE should be around 1700, so the weight will come off really slow if you're actually eating 1500 a day. Again, at these low levels, there's not much room for…

Straight liquor is always the best choice. Light beers won't mess you up too bad either. Have fun!

I would suggest weighing food since you're not doing that at the moment. If you're frustrated with the exercise you're doing, mix it up! It should be fun. The results will come.

He interpreted "daily walking" as the walking you do during your day-to-day tasks. You interpreted "daily walking" as an exercise done outside of normal day-to-day tasks. OP needs to clarify which one is meant. If it's the first, it shouldn't be logged. If it's the second, it should.

I didn't think it sounded smug until you said you weren't trying to sound smug. I then immediately thought you were trying to be smug. :(

I would do what the poster above suggested if it seems like a substantial amount is left over. If not, I would just incorporate it into the dish and ignore the fact that some is left in the pan. I would rather over-estimate when it comes to that stuff than underestimate. Again, if it were a significant amount of left-over,…

Just because it's your personal choice does not make it the best or right. @OP I'm surprised a doctor would tell you to cut certain things from your diet outright.
