I need to try something different...
40 yrs old, 6' 1", 297lbs, sedentary (student). (Btw, picture is not current, I am now 20+ pounds heavier.) I just don't think I should be eating back my exercise calories right now. Maybe I am over calculating what I burn or under calculating what I eat, and I think this is giving me a false sense of intake. I am thinking…
Halloween...I'm sorry, but it is ON!
I am going to TEAR UP some candy tonight. I am going to buy a bag of candy, turn off the porch light, lock the door, and eat chocolate like I am 8 years old.

I have been researching a few things about eating back exercise calories and I have been finding conflicting information. Here are the things I am struggling with: 1. Do I…
TDEE 4339?! Wat?!
I am 6'1, 287lbs and I exercise every day. Even with an aggressive 30% reduction, I am suppose to be eating over 3000 calories to lose weight?! My doctor says I am morbidly obese and muscle is as bad as fat when it comes to the BMI (I don't think I am THAT fat). He says I should be eating 1400 calories a day. I am getting…
