Banana , mango, apple, snow peas, carrots, mandarins are my go to snacks.

This. It's the body's version of your cars MPG. Go full throttle you need more full, idle around and you do not use much fuel.

Congrats on kicking *kitten*. You basically just wrote my story with slightly different numbers. 280 to 190 for me. People trip when I tell them how easy it really was.

Bingo Good job on your accomplishment so far, now it's time to tighten up the logging and keep going.

I account for them in my budget. It's all about choices.

It's all about taco Sunday for me. Local mexi joint carves the El Pastor right off the spit into a hot tortilla that mamacita just hand pressed and grilled a moment before. A splash of freshly made tomitillo salsa and a pinch of salentro with some Caso crumpled on top. Viva Mexico !!!

Obviously the weights of restaurant portions is going to vary from the sample they tests at the lab to establish the calorie count. not even sure why that guy wasted his time doing that research.

I thought the way to lose the "freshman butt" was to become a sophomore ? No ? Calorie deficit it is then. 20 pounds will require 70,000 calorie deficit, that is a pretty large sum to just wing. Using MFP to Count them meal by meal and day by day breaks the task down into a manageable task.

It's 6th grade math. The accuracy is dependent on you logging accurate date

LOL, Fixed

Pretty sure the message stipulates ifeveryday were like today, in other words your pace for today was XxX. It does not say you Will weigh xxx because of what you ate today. The message requires a degree of reading comprehension.

your butt or any other muscle in not going to look "perky" until you lose the fat that is covering the muscle.

20 pounds in 3 months, mathematically doable, is it reasonable ? Depends on your starting body fat %

It is as acurrate as your logging

Hint: it's simple math 1 pound of body fat = 3500 calories 10 pound = 35,000 calories 8 weeks is 56 days 35,000 calories / 56 days = 650 calories Eat 650 fewer calories then you burn each day for 56 days , Mission accomplished

Explain how I do it..... Scheduling just like logging works to track calories, scheduling works to plan feeding times. Do it for awhile and it becomes habit. Wake up 5 am Coffee 5:01 am Work 5:05 am Ride 9am -12:30 Food 12:31pm Nap 1-2 pm Food 3pm Do stuff 3:30 -6 Food 6:30 Do stuff 7- 11 Sleep

If your life is so busy you have not budgeted time to actually consume life sustataing food then your issues are well beyond the scope of Internet forums. Just out of curiousity, do you set aside time to use a toilet or have you found a time saving method of dealing with that as well ?

Fwiw. My meal pattern is similar to ninerbuff, People that tell you you need to fuel up for the day with breakfast have been duped by the marketing I am sure came from breakfast food companies. I can easily put in a 40+ mile bike ride before my first meal of the day. No it doesn't help as it is misinformation. Aka…

The speed at which you lose or gain fat will be directly related to the size of calorie deficit or surplus you create. 3500 calories is always going to equal 1 pound of fat.

Calories are calories, doesn't mater when or how you eat them. Meal timing is for hunger management. Your body can easily operate off your body fat and glycogen stores for longer then you will be able to stave off hunger.

Keep in mind, 1 gallon of water weighs 8.3 pounds 16 oz , which is a popular size of plastic water bottle weighs 1 pound. If you are drinking your 64 oz of water every day that weighs 4 pounds So figure on a typical day your body is processing at least 4 pounds of water not even counting the water content of the food you…

Just do the math. add up your weekly deficit, Did you eat 5000 fewer calories then you burned ? If you created a 5000 calorie deficit for the week then congrats, you lost 1.5 pounds of fat. If your deficit wasn't 5000 then the Diffrence is water weight. Your body is constantly balancing water content. You use water to…

The medical journals I read give a range between 2.5 mm and 0.5 mm Thickest areas are the palms, bottom of feet and buttocks, thinnest are your eye lids and behind your ear. Skin gets thinner as you age, thought to be due to less blood flow as we become sedentary.

The same way I log a meal at a restaurant, at a flat rate. Taste = 50 Meal =1000

350

What is the name of the chemical ?

You are surrounded by lots of sweets every day, they are pretty all around you at every turn. Coffee shops hardly sell coffee anymore, they sell coffee flavored sugar drinks and cake, 1/5 of the grocery store is now a bakery loaded with cakes, pies and donuts, every store has a check out isle with candy on both…

I love laughing at the people who feel they need to make a point of letting me know they work out in a gym.

I eat. In the grand scheme of things it dosnt happen very often so I just go with it and enjoy it. Oddly enough it only happens on days I choose to lounge around the house and be lazy.

My thoughts are you are kicking *kitten*, keep up the amazing effort. As for BMI, it's a guideline. When I was 80 lbs away from my upper BMI it seemed impossible, even stupid. But as I got closer it started seeming doable. Now I am about mid range. But honestly I quite looking at BMI and started using body fat % as a…
