Metabolic Resistance Training (MRT)
I 've been researching Metabolic Resistance Training (MRT) using Lyle McDonald's site [http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/training/weight-training-for-fat-loss-part-1.html] and other resources, but I've just managed to thoroughly confuse myself.

fitbit vs. scooby for TDEE/activity level
Which one should I use to determine my activity level, the fitbit or the Scooby calculator? According to my fitbit, I burn about 2500 calories/day ("lightly active" activity level), but according to the scooby or fat2fit radio calculators and my hours of exercise each week. I should be in the "moderately active" activity…

bulk/cut/maintenance vs. reset/cut/maintain

Intro
HI -- This is my 2nd week on MFP, but I am just now taking the time to introduce myself. Somehow I allowed myself to get 110 lbs overweight (I think, may be 100-105, just going by the BMI chart - the high end of the BMI chart :wink: ) so now I'm a little daunted by the fact that it's probably going to take at least 2 years…

Zig-zagging (cycling)
I'm new here and just started with MFP. I read some things on the Web about zig-zagging (aka, cycling) and I thought that this would be a good idea to implement to avoid plateaus. Here's my plan: Usually, to loose 1 lb/week, MFP says that I should eat 1860 kcal/day (starting weight 260 lbs). For a week, that's 1860 x 7 =…
