If its for your birthday, go out and have WHATEVER you want. Seriously. I mean when you're at home treat it like any other day but when you go out, feel no shame! Today is my birthday actually and I'm going out to dinner around 6 (it's 10am now) and I'm just going to have normal meals and then go have whatever I want and…

If your calorie intake for "x" weight loss is correct and you log accurately, it will be pretty darn close.

Yes I just realized that but why does it matter unless you're eating frozen chicken?

It wouldn't actually be more calories if you ate it frozen but your numbers will be off if you weigh it frozen and go off that weight to determine the calorie count. Edit: I suppose it would be slightly more calories when frozen because cooking does lose some fat but then again, no body is eating frozen chicken

I'm assuming they are talking about weight. My frozen or raw 5 oz piece of chicken isn't really 5 oz. It's more like 4 or less.

If it weighs 75 grams cooked and you eat 75 grams cooked then you log 75 grams cooked. I would try to find a cooked calorie amount because raw or frozen amounts are pointless

I've had a burger with a fried egg on it before. Pretty darn good but I haven't had PB and relish. That's definitely weird

Why would weighing it frozen before cooking give you the best calorie count? That extra weight is all water which is lost during cooking. Your cooked chicken will always weigh less than frozen or raw chicken. When I want 8 oz of cooked chicken I usually grab about 9.5 oz of frozen and 1.5 oz of water gets lost.

These might not be too weird but some pubs have them. Fried jalapeño poppers with cheese, dipped in jam or jelly. They're to die for.

Your last 30 pounds? No. Your deficit would likely be too large and dangerous to maintain for 3 months.

I advise not reading the comments. Bunch of idiots claiming they are some nutrition experts. One said "calories in vs calories out is a disproven fallacy". Oh, alright then.

I would assume you'd be fine. Just listen to your body. If you get weak or light headed, EAT.

Logically that would mean he takes smaller steps than you. He probably burns more calories because he's a man, and I would think the more steps you take, even if smaller, the more calories you burn. Shouldn't be by a lot though.

I'll be joining you in about a month. Sitting at 310 right now :) Good job, keep it up!

How did you get 40 pounds overweight if you can barely eat 1100 calories? Eat. That's all.

Only thing I haven't had since the beginning of my weight loss is regular soda. Mainly because it isn't worth it to me now and if I need a fizzy drink I either have a diet or a mountain dew kickstart.

I died once from eating a banana so I would say yes they are bad.

If you wanted to lose 40 pounds by a certain time you should have started sooner.That'd be about half your goal. Not gonna happen. The 9 pounds you lost this week was mostly water weight. If you're eating a very low calorie diet and "starving" yourself every night, you need to stop. It's unsustainable and CAN have negative…

Can people on here still not grasp the fact that weight loss isn't linear?

You don't have to eat them back but some people do. You might be eating more calories than your goal, but your exercise burns those extras off if you do choose to eat then back. So if you were to eat 1989 calories (179 cal above your goal), your 179 calorie burn would account for those extra calories and you would still be…

Every single person who doesn't believe in god HAS considered the idea of a god. Your attempt at being condescending is appalling.

Exactly. Fast food doesn't add magical non countable calories. I eat taco bell like once a week. I just know how much in calories it is and I plan around it.

15. 351 to 336. Just keep in mind that it's all going to depend on what your weight is now and how much you have to lose.

Woke up one morning this February and said "alright I'm done with being fat, I'm losing weight." Really is the truth too. I wish it hit everyone like it hit me and will be as easy for them as it has been for me... so far.

BMI is supposed to be for "normal" people. LeBron James is almost obese according to BMI. The majority of people don't have a lot of muscle build so that's the use for BMI.

Atheists don't believe in a higher power of any kind. That's what atheist means. So to tell them to just fit it in as something else doesn't help at all. OP: Being an agnostic atheist myself, it doesn't seem like it would be much of help to be honest. While they claim to not be a religious organization, it's pretty clear…

How is it bad? If you don't go over your calories it's not bad. Stop demonizing food. OP: Of course it's not bad. I play sports, and when I do I drink stuff like gatorade because it's an easier way to fuel my body than eating something. I don't drink much in calories if I'm just having a meal but there's no reason why you…

It's pretty hard to eat "too much sodium" if you don't have health problems like HBP. Take a look at my sodium. I pay no attention to it whatsoever but I guarantee you that some days I'll be around 4000 mg.
