This app has my bmr high?
I put in that I want to lose 1 lbs a week and it says I should eat over 1500 and still hit it before workouts. But that sounded really high so I used over 10 different bmr calculators and they all said 1400-1500 was my maintaining which seems right because that's how much I would normally eat to feel full. So I've been…

What to do when calories aren't listed?
So I ordered tacos from a place in town but they don't have a nutrition menu so I have no clue how to figure out how many calories they were. The place is called tacos and beer in Vegas and I thought if I listed the descriptions you guys could help me figure this out. 1. VEGGIE potato puree, sautéed mushroom, poblano,…

meals that dont need refrigeration?
My bf gets free lunch at work but this week they are putting him in another building and he's heard the food offered is terrible so he probably won't eat it. I want to make him something but there's also no fridge, anybody have ideas? I know him and he will just go without and be way under his calories for the day.

healthy bmi before workout?
First let me say I'm using the bmi because I'm not active so there really isn't anything to skew it right now. I'm 5'3 and 162 and am doing my journey at a slower pace so I don't burn out.

Calorie deficit for men?
Me and my bf are trying to lose weight. He's at 280 lbs so it tells him to eat about 1700 cals a day min. Now my calorie goal is 1200 and I know I can't go under because that's starvation. He has the mindset that it's okay if he's under 1700 because he's bigger. I think yesterday he was around 1400, is this really okay? I…

Healthy condiments?
Last night I made a pita filled with spinach, turkey meat, avocado, and mustard. The mustard didn't really do the job so I'm trying to think of anything I can use so it won't be dry. Any suggestions to how I could tweak the sandwich are welcome as well, but I'll say I hate tomatoes up front because I know most people would…

losing weight but no energy?
I'm the kind of person whose always tired. I've lost 13 lbs just cutting calories and am still always tired. I know I'm not going to start bouncing off the walls since I still eat junk and don't work out yet, but I assumed the weight loss itself would give me an energy boost since I don't have as much fat weighing me down…

losing uneven? !
So today I went to lay down and it HURT! I looked at myself in the mirror and there's a spot where my butt and back connect that collects fat. Except now the right side is flatter than the left! Don't get me wrong I'm happy to see it go, but now I can't lay on my back. Has anyone else had this problem? I just wonder how…

Am I still on water weight?
I'm taking my journey slowly so it's been a little over a month and I've lost about 7 pouns. 5 pounds was easy the last couple were difficult. Last time I went on a diet I weighed less and could drop 10 pounds easy. Am I still losing water weight? Is there any way to tell? I've also lost .5 inch from my waist and 1 inch…
