TDEE looks low compared to BMR. Whats your routine? Whats your occupation? Do you try for 10k steps a day?

I just recently found my TDEE. Now i'm burning the lats of the fat. Took months of experimentation.

I drink Starbucks every day. On lift days where I can have the carbs i'll have a large latte with soy. On rest days where carbs are low i'll have an americano. If you like something and can figure out how to make it fit your macros then go for it.

OP has no clue what shes doing. You arent hungry because of hormonal imbalances. Take care of your body while you are young! Take advantage of your hormonal state! these girls have no clue the damage they are doing to their bodies now by restricting calories 1k+ below TDEE when they probably dont have the energy stores to…

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 Read this and figure out your body fat. At this point you'd probably want only a 10% deficit to cut fat but if you want to tone up you would want to look at eating above TDEE on lift days.

Some people do it for other reasons. Maybe they are losing weight the wrong way and dont look good naked! That pisses them off! People get poor results from poor diet and exercise and they watch someone like you killing it everyday! People get jealous! I often get into heated debates over the Low cal Vs high cal way of…

Fat intake is what helps with some major hormone upkeep! Eat the fats! And vegetarians.......um....avocados?! One of the densest and healthiest fats......srs?!

I guess the question is how close to ideal weight are you for your height and age? Whats body fat%? Do you want to "tone" up or lean down?

Acg said it best.....

1600 daily. Easy. Dont eat back calories. Workout maybe 3-4x a week.

What keeps you motivated? I want to get ripped for next summer! When doing cardio how to you keep from getting bored? I dont do cardio. I get enough cardio while doing squats and deadlifts! Do you ever feel intimidated by other people at the gym who are slimmer, stronger, faster, etc? No! they started somewhere too! How do…

Eat your protein if you can. Every week I make about 6-8lbs of chicken breast just for lunch. chicken, turkey, tuna, beef etc..... Eat your macros. Take omega complex pills. even creatine can helpo. But in order to have definition youll either need to lose more fat or gain muscle. Drop cardio or reduce it to a mild brisk…

This works too. I prefer having a weekly caloric goal and sticking to my daily goals as opposed to being slave to the add back calories. for instance I burn 17200 cals a week give or take a hundred. 17200/7=2457. I eat 2k a day to lose fat. I eat 2k a day if i'm sitting on my *kitten* or running my *kitten* off. Life is so…

The search button must be broken this week. I think we had 12 of these threads yesterday alone. OP looking at your jawline I can tell you 1200 isnt enough.

I'm waiting for the under 1k calorie people to chime in..... "So we can keep eating below 1k and still lose???" Just stick to it under 1k eaters! The weight will come off!!!!

Be sure to do ADF correctly. Your regular eating days are not at a deficit. Its at TDEE. IE: when I do a 5:2 week my weekly TDEE is 17200. 17200/5=3440 I need 500ish cals on fasted days so lets say 2800 on regular days. If you are going to fast, fast correctly! Andy Morgan puts it in a nice way here…

Sure would take the fat gains fear out of the equation...

I prefer the 16:8 fasting. Been doing it since January and love it.

You can lose "weight" eating anything. You can have great body composition eating mostly clean though.

I'd also like to note that you are at prime weight for women at 5'4". If you have extra body fat, cutting calories isn't the way to get rid of it. Cyclical dieting is. For you, take up heavy lifting 3x a week and on those days eat about 2500 calories of high quality protein and starchy carbs. On rest days eat about 1600…

You don't work out? You just get up, go to work, come home and sit? You know that's worse than smoking? Anywho.... Numbers! Btw by not knowing your body fat you are dieting wrong. BMR: 1300 Without body fat we use base numbers but its probably higher. TDEE: don't work out 1550 1-2x a week 1800 3-5x a week 2014 5+ x a week…

That doesn't sound correct. Care to share: Age Height Weight Body fat% Occupation Routine Unless you are very short or very sedentary your numbers don't add up.

No offense but most of the high cal eaters are losing about 1/2-1lb a week. at your intake you obviously arent. Maybe you need higher calories to boost your leptin and allow better fat loss... Care to share stats with us? Age Height Weight Body fat% Occupation Routine Maybe we can offer advice to get you better fat loss?…

Props for the seed! FR incoming!

I do notice that the 1200 calorie defenders never ever comment in these threads.... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/805689-oh-no-i-ve-been-eating-2-000-cals-a-day http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/787472-my-success-2-3rds-of-the-way-to-goal…

theres something very off about the words "Meat Cleanse"........

(((HUGS))) <3 U 2!

So 1600 daily should do the trick. Be sure not to cut calories while recovering from surgery so your body has the building blocks to heal itself correctly.
