I read it differently I guess, since he said he was "well under" all week. But yeah I don't think he had enough to create a surplus. I also agree with the dehydration, I meant to put that in my post but got preoccupied.

As long as you have a caloric deficit, you will lose weight. Foods/beverages do not matter. It will however, determine how you feel physically.
-
The Fats/Carb/Protein settings are a suggestion, not a limit. You can always change the percentage if you want. Either way, what is important is eating your calorie goal everyday. Having a caloric deficit is what causes fat loss, not macro ratio.
-
Awesome, a HRM is a great tool. I also agree that 600 is a safe estimate for that. Just remember that sometimes our weight loss doesn't show up on the scale right away, there are a lot of factors (especially for women). That doesn't mean you haven't lost weight. I stall sometimes for 3 weeks at a time and lose 2 or 3lbs at…

Yup. Just be aware that MFP has a tendency to over estimate calorie burns on *certain* things such as the Elliptical and Zumba, I'd recommend logging 80% of your work out for these types of cardio and eating those calories. If you log your exercise, it will automatically adjust your calorie intake for the day on your food…

2000(eaten)-600(burned through exercise)=1400 NET calories. The above is the same as eating 1400 with no exercise. You will still lose the same amount of weight. 2lbs a week is probably too aggressive of a goal, change it to either 1.5lbs or 1lb per week.
-
According to your stats you: Maintain your current weight at 2958 calories per day completely Sedentary. An aggressive approach would be 2lbs per week, a 1000 calorie deficit. 2958-1000=1958 calories a day. If you are exercising you need to eat 1958+exercise calories(yes walking to work is exercise). You are further…

Massage therapy then> Chiropractic then> Physical therapy Try to find a very knowledgeable Massage therapist, someone with at least 1000 hours of school. If they don't know what a sacroiliac joint is, then there is a very good chance they aren't the right one for you. I am in general against steroid injections, they…

As long as you have a caloric deficit everyday, (i.e. eat your calorie goal) you will lose weight. Soda or any other type of food/drink has no effect on fat loss. This is of course provided you don't have a specific medical condition, such as insulin resistance ect.
-
You don't have to follow the macro settings to lose weight, just hit your calorie goal. If eating more protein makes you feel fuller throughout the day, then eat more. If you need the visual, the just adjust it until the % looks right to you.
-
According to your stats you: Maintain your current weight on Sedentary at 2395 calories per day. to lose 1lb per week you need a 500 calorie a day deficit. 2395-500= 1895 Remember these numbers are for Sedentary, if you exercise you will need to eat 1895+ whatever you burn exercising.
-
Hi. Please remember that the way this website is set up is so we can lose weight healthily. A 1000 calories a day is not enough, the lowest number MFP recommends for an adult female is 1200, and that is NET. Net calories means you need to eat your goal calories PLUS what you burn during exercise. So if you burn 400…
-
You are suppose to net your calorie goal which is 1350. 800 calories a day is not enough energy for your body to run, therefore, no it is not healthy. The human body can only lose approx. 1-2lbs of body fat per week (obviously this does not apply to extremely obese individuals under a doctors care). Just keep in mind that…

Most people make fresh versions of exactly what you'd buy in the frozen section of the store on Sundays and then just portion it out for the rest of the week. Soups, Chili ect, you can also make your own sandwiches and salads. There was a really awesome sounding recipe for making your own burritos to freeze so you can…
-
I think you are too dead set on the number that the scale says, you're at my goal weight and 3inches taller, I know everyone has different bone structure and feels "better" at lower weights, but I think your body is telling you that it's done. You can still lower your body fat percentage and look smaller/more fit without…

Same reason why the grocery store has such strange artificial products in the "health/diet/fitness" isle. Maybe something from Onnit would be more your style? The more natural and higher quality the product, the more costly it is. https://www.onnit.com/hemp-force/#overview Most people can probably get enough protein from…

A 3 lb fluctuation can easily be water weight. When you start a new workout routine, especially strengthening, your muscles retain a lot of water as they repair themselves. You're not broken, you just need to lower your expectations and have more patience. Also please always net more than 1500 calories a day. 1000 calories…
-
I took a peek at your diary, everything seems alright except that there are definitely a few days where you were way under your calorie goal, I know it seems weird, but it's counter productive to eat too little. If you feel that your exercise is exaggerated in the MFP system, try eating at least 50%-80% of them. I'm not…
-
If you're eating at a caloric deficit, it's nearly impossible to gain any muscle. It's more likely that because your muscles retain water while they repair from strength training, that you gained some temporary water weight.
-
This website allows you to search for food containing any type of macro or micro nutrient, I set it for protein. http://nutritiondata.self.com/foods-000078000000000000000-w.html
-
I think it's mostly because you're over training and under feeding. I'm sorry you don't understand how this website works, perhaps you should read some of the stickies in the forums for new people?
-
There is absolutely no way to spot reduce fat. Sorry =(
-
Hi there, do you have your MFP set to lose 2lbs a week? Perhaps that's too aggressive for you, there is no shame in that. If you'd like you can change your goal to lose 1lb a week and see if that feels more reasonable.
-
The amount of calories you're subtracting from the amount of calories you currently maintain your weight on. Example: I maintain my weight on 1800 calories per day. If I want to lose 1lb a week, I need to have a 500 calorie deficit. So: 1800-500= 1300 calories to eat. This gives me a 500 calorie deficit.
-
If your TDEE is 2680, that's what you'd maintain your weight on. If your BMR is 1554, that's how many calories your body would need to survive if you were in a coma. If you eat 500 calories a day less than your TDEE: 2680-500=2180 you will lose 1lb a week. It isn't recommended to eat less than your BMR as it increases the…

Just Break Up.

No idea, you could have put your Activity level to Lightly Active, when it use to say sedentary. Or perhaps your height was incorrect originally and you never noticed. You can manually set your calorie goal if you like. Go to: My Home > Goals > Change Goals > Custom > first box on the top left Net Calorie Goal.
-
There are a lot of calculators around the internet, and a lot on this website. If you put in your current height, weight, and age, it can give you a pretty good idea of what you need to consume calorie wise. http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html This website will help you calculate your TDEE, the…

35lbs of fat? No 35lbs of fat+muscle+water weight, it's possible but it's going to be close, really close. 28lbs is realistic depending on how much you have to lose, but as you get closer to goal weight, 2lbs a week is really not feasible. You could end up losing 5lbs of water weight your first week in since you haven''t…
-
It's better than 1000 calorie deficit, but you will still lose more muscle mass by netting below your BMR, just not as much. If you exercise, PLEASE make sure you eat 1200 calories + whatever you burn, otherwise you are underfeeding yourself.
