Karate (Shotokan, Wado-Ryu, WKF type stuff)
Hi Guys! Haven't seen anything of this ilk on here before, so thought I would start a thread about Karate. Does anyone on here regularly practice Karate? If so... What Style?: How long have you trained for?: Where do you train? (e.g. club, city, country): How often do you train?: What grade are you?: Do you compete?: One…

Daily Calorie Target
Hi Guys, I wonder if anyone could comment on the below? I am just trying to work out how MFP is calculating things, and make the maths add up in my head :smile: I have set MFP to '2lbs a week loss', and a lightly active lifestyle (I prefer to add cals from exercise manually). Here is my profile: Male 24 220lbs My daily…

My lifelong journey starts here! (take 2)
Hi guys :smile: I'll keep it as brief as I can, but here is my story... I've been on MFP before. In fact, I used it to lose about 30lbs a while back. Unfortunately, my personal life took a turn for the worse and I got into a really bad rut, mentally and then, subsequently, physically. But I'm back! 5 days in and I feel…

Running
Howdy! I am intrigued as to who on here incorporates running (or jogging) into their weight loss regime. I know some people just hate it, but I would hope there are some people that love it too, like me. The best thing about it in my opinion, is that with proper rest and nutrition, IT GETS EASIER! So I thought I'd start a…

Types of Running for fat loss
Hi Guys, Along with my diet, I'm using running as a primary method (not exclusively) for my fat loss. I tend to mix it up between intervals and steady pace running, but just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on what might work best for accelerating fat loss? I'm kind of torn between running for 30 minutes 5 times a week,…

Frying Meat
Of course, in my ideal world, I would grill or bake every meal. But sometimes I like to get it all in a pan and really infuse those flavours among all the ingredients. My question is around calorie counting. I fear I may be underestimating but I can't find anything on this. If I have say, 190cals worth of chicken breast…

Types of calorie deficit
Hi guys, I'd like some advice please, regarding calorie deficits. Would the two following regimes give me the same results, as the deficits are the same? Or are they likely to both pose different challenges? 1: Low calories in, minimal exercise Cals In - 1800 Cals Out - 250 Net Cals - 1550 TDEE - 2400 so...Deficit = 850 2:…

I've lost a Stone
And although that isn't a great deal of weight in the grand scheme of things, and I have two more to go, I count that as one hell of a success :) Both the hardest and the easiest stone to lose I would say, paradoxically. Anyone who takes the first step, and doesn't fail after a couple of days, deserves the utmost respect.…

Meal frequency/calorie intake advice
Howdy all. Currently, I am eating something like this split: Breakfast 300cals Lunch 850cals Dinner 600cals Snack 200cals What do you guys aim for? I guess it's all about schedule. I have more time to make a bigger, healthy lunch than I do an evening meal at the moment. I exercise between Lunch and Dinner, which…

Target help
Hi Guys, Would anyone be kind enough to give me their take on my current daily calorie targets? I would really appreciate it. I want to lose weight healthily, and sustainably. I am not sticking rigidly to them EVERY DAY, rather, using them as an average over the course of a long, extended, sustainable weight loss plan :) .…

Averages, Spreadsheets, etc.
Hey guys, I'm back! I've now had 11 days of healthier eating and regular exercise. I just wondered if anyone has the same approach as me when it comes to counting calories and averages, and if they had any advice as to whether I could be doing things differently? I also just thought I would share my method, in case it…
