yup--like asking how do i look in this dress (there is only one right answer).
-
good thing you logged that 3 calorie piece of gum
-
it is easy to eat like that for a week but to eat like that (day-in day-out) is more difficult that it seems.
-
day-in day-out eating that much food is challenging. Ice cream should be your friend
-
probably also means that because of its density that 1 pound of fat takes up more space than 1 pound of muscle.
-
you can sit on the couch all day and still lose weight (or maintain or gain)-- eat at a calorie deficit to continue losing weight. That being said, bodyweight exercises are fun and always available to you.
-
it is almost impossible to out-exercise a bad diet (once you have hit your maintenance calories for the day)-- it is so easy to eat 500 calories (and takes quite a bit of exercise to burn it off). Of course, you can eat anything you want staying within your calorie goals and still hit your targets (whether it be weight…
-
yup!
-
Unless you are 2 feet tall and weigh 50 pounds, 1400 calories a day won't build any muscle.
-
Nothing wrong with measuring yourself everyday-- i do this and take the weekly average and then use 3-4 weeks of data to make decisions. The only thing with daily weighing is that it messes with your head !
-
Yup! I would wager that without exception, people claiming to eat "so little" and not losing weight are not accurately tracking their food (I know i wasn't).
-
Never tried it on rice (will have to try)-- tastes awesome on potatoes too!
-
Peanut butter is not full of sugar-- the stuff i buy (Kraft) has 80 calories a TBSP of which 9 calories are sugar (hardly a lot).
-
I thought i was the only one.
-
Not even close!
-
A pint is just a yummy appetizer. I'm buying 2 litres (~ 4 pints) of ice-cream goodness this morning which will not last the day! Ice Cream -- the best bulking food ever.
-
I like my ice-cream to be hard-- ticks me off when it is soft
-
As long as she is training progressively, bodyweight exercises work just fine
-
1300 a day would make me sad too
-
over 1000 grams of carbs-- yum!
-
Really-- 1680 seems like a little (even if you just sit on the couch all day). However, track for a few weeks and let results dictate where you go.
-
This is why i workout at home
-
depends on daily calorie allotment. i'm currently eating 3500/ day -- that would be one hell of a meal!
-
what's the issue with sugar-- it's yummy!
-
to lose 12 pounds of fat in 7 days requires a 6,000 calorie a day deficit- that is not 12 pounds of fat lost. the fat lost is due to the lowered caloric intake from " cleansing". Save your money, eat less than your body needs and voila you lose fat!
-
and no fun!
-
If not for the mustache, would not have recognized those pictures as being the same person-- awesome job! After your goal weight do you have any future goals (e.g. athletic)?
-
no one on 1500 calories a day eats like a king (unless they are eating one meal a day)
-
That is a myth. I love eating just before bed-- the food lulls me to sleep (and i digest just fine, ice-cream and all)/
