How often should i recalculate my TDEE? Im down 5.2lbs after 2 weeks and when i updated my weight on MFP it dropped my calories to about 1500 from about 2150.
5’9 196.8lbs down from 202. I gym about 6 times a weeks including cardio twice 2-3 times a week.
did you change your goals and/or how fast you wanted to lose weight? that definitely seems wrong
Christopher Ross
Do sauna suits actually help? I plan on grabbing on to push the weight loss even further.
Colton Adams
not for fat loss
Nathaniel Thomas
Who performed measurements by different methods (this one, dexa, calipers) who accurate is it? Also I know it's kinda slow for a year of progress, but I love me some gains too.
no i didnt change anything except my current weight. The app had to auto defaulted my TDEE or something.
Isaac Rodriguez
how the fuck do I eat 180 grams of protein a day? should I have more even though I'm 275 now and 180 grams is my "goal" like the OP says? I feel like I eat a lot of protein, like for example using my fitness pal, one day I had 3 eggs, 10 chicken nuggets from mcds, yogurt, a protein shake, and some more chicken breast for dinner (curry), but that only amounted to 143 grams. and yeah I still hit my calorie deficit goal.
Bentley Ramirez
TFW ive only eaten 700kcal today after 2 of my 3 meals and I'm very full. Based Keto-meme diet.
Very high chicken diet, if you can stomach it. I'm a picky eater, so it doesn't bother me much. I've been eating OMAD, 2 large chicken breasts, (about 13oz each) comes out to about 780cals, 0gcarbs, 10gfat, 170g protein. If you try this, don't forget to factor in cooking method, spices, ect. into your cal count. 1 shake would put you well over 180g.
Lincoln Wood
Lost 18.4 pounds since Christmas. Thanks for helping me keep to it, bros.
the fact that most of you decided you were too fat when you were much smaller than me doesn't give me hope I'm a yoyoer too and I don't see how this round will be any different, unless I can commit to losing the same 150lbs until I'm dead
Ian Price
Two Chick-fil-A sandwiches for lunch But I’m not fat so
Jaxson Bell
Had french fry with my chicken for lunch. I know I fucked up.
ate half a chocolate covered big ass cream puff from a local bakery (colleague birthday, I shared with someone). I somewhat made up for it by skipping the sausage next to my Brussel sprouts dinner.
Isaiah Anderson
see a shrink but be warned they might not take you seriously if you're not severely underweight or overweight, otherwise it's "not an issue" unless your health is evidently at risk press on for now because you're gonna have to do it eventually anyway
Anthony Peterson
I‘m the king of manlets at 5‘10‘‘ Doing the keto meme and 500kcal deficit Working out M/W/F and cardio on the weekend
My goal is 175 by end of June, not sure I‘ll make it. The noobweightloss is gonna stop soon I think and it’ll slow down.
Kevin Sanders
just come here every day like I do, I failed one time before but I'm almost to the lowest I've got to when I was dieting and my downfall was when I stopped coming here and fucked my own diet up. If I was here after that first day messing up I wouldnt have turned the day into two into a week into a month...
James Peterson
I'm not bothered about losing the weight. I've proven I can do it time and time again, it's just that it kills my drive knowing that nothing has changed since last time and I'm probably going to fail again
Jason James
I had 12 king wings for lunch
Grayson Campbell
>My goal is 175 by end of June >not sure I‘ll make it Don't lament what you didn't reach, celebrate your achievements.
Angel Fisher
You can do it brother, just have to keep at it. Find a good source of meals that will keep you satisfied, but still under TDEE. We only have large weight losses/fast losses because we're all /fat/. Staying in here and having others to help keep you accountable helps.
Logan Peterson
skipping a nice protein-filled sausage for a cream puff? that makes it even worse user
Jackson Taylor
I'm really impatient about losing weight, but also want to lift. Should I /fast/?
Lucas Lee
I'm thinking about trying IF, and lifting. I was planning on one meal every other day, before a lift. I don't see why it wouldn't work, the way I see it, fasting is just the maximum deficit you can achieve with CICO. If it's not working, just stop and go back to your normal routine.
Jeremiah Murphy
it was a fat filled sausage. let me rationalize my mistakes in peace please.
fasting won't gradually teach you healthy lifestyle habits (something you can't easily change by snapping your fingers, if you could you'd already be thin, that's a trick your mind plays on you) and itll obliterate your muscle which breaks your metabolism which makes not rebounding very difficult. retraining the monkey brain is the only way of getting to permanent change.
Austin Cook
how overweight are both of you? it is difficult if nigh on impossible to simultaneously lose fat whilst building muscle (without the aid of steroids). I suggest using light weights just to get used to correct form & routine, and burn a few calories as a bonus
Bentley Jackson
>let me rationalize my mistakes in peace please. no sir, this place is to receive the bitter pill of truth and you must be told but you are forgiven
Nolan Ortiz
You can do both.
How much do you weigh?
Carson Myers
No. Lifting is the best way to burn calories both in the ahort and long term. Larger and more metabolically efficient muscles are hotter furnaces of calorie burning even when not being used. Keep lifting. You will see great inprovements in body composition and in the way you feel even if the scale doesn't say whatever number you wanted.
Ethan Torres
> >it was a fat filled sausage. >let me rationalize my mistakes in peace please. I guess if you want to...
If your BMI is over 35 you have plenty of fat reserves to build muscle while losing weight. Atleast for the few months until you lose your first 60-70lbs afterwards it’s just maintenance and avoiding losing too much
Hunter Sanders
Why did you quote me on that post
Jayden Diaz
>fat reserves to build muscle to my knowledge, adipose tissue doesn't contain usable protein
Jonathan Bell

Aiden Jackson
5'10 220lbs like 25% bf
Christian Mitchell
Morbidly obese, BMI probably between 35-40, as far as lifestyle after i started counting calories i realized I weighed so much because I would eat when bored (or when High/Drunk but I don't wmoke weed anymore and drink much less) so I actually struggle to hit my calories allotment now even for a 1000 calorie deficit
Kayden Peterson
I was about to reply to you with what the other guy posted before I saw it. 50lbs in 5 months is really hard.
Michael Rodriguez
Only had a couple of steaks to eat today. 850 calories I think. I want to get rid of this weight once and for all
Dylan Murphy
5'11 manlet and 165-166 lb here
Decided finally to stop goofing around and do /fast/, I can't go to the gym currently but I can at least run in the mornings.
I'm drinking a green juice every morning and eating grilled chicken breast
Weighed in at 101.3kg today, who the fuck leaving the 3 figures behind with me this week? Can't to be down in the 90s soon
Chase Young
Yet agian, the impulse for eating the goddamn KFC Pop Corn Chicken came all over me and I was JUST about to order when the same guy who came to my office earlier (who had went to lunch) came back.
Fuck. Saved twice in the same day. The struggle is fucking real
Nolan Baker
Did you get your stats wrong? 165 @ 5'11" is nothing
Aiden Edwards
I weighed 99.3kg this morning. No cheating this week so I hope I can get to 96 by next monday
Nathaniel Torres
Great work man! I'm currently running 5k, hoping to hit 6 in a couple of weeks.
Elijah Taylor
I ate 12kg of butter. Just butter though, nothing with it at least.
I think it’s better for myself to set a goal that’s hard/impossible to reach, so I stay motivated till the end trying to make it instead of setting a realistic goal and then getting complacement when I get near it because „it’s only another 5 pounds I got it“
Hudson Rogers
I know that feel bro. My case is probably not as bad because I yoyo between my ideal weight and 60lbs over it, but I've been doing this since about 2006 and it never fucking ends.
At least I can have some comfort that it takes me like 4 times longer to put the weight on than it does to lose it again.
Charles King
Depends on how fat you are. Lose too fast from very fat and you get loose skin. No one go fat in a hurry so why the rush now? Do a fast to jump start but learn to eat sensibly ASAP because you gotta eat for life.
do NOT use poor-people units on my American website. thanks
Charles Wright
Not counting raw protein by weight. Eating nuggets and shakes and yogurts instead of more protein rich whole foods puts your calories higher than your protein can reach. Cut those and eat a big chicken salad with fresh veg instead.
Juan Jones
you drink? do drugs? self harm?
Chase Cooper
no, yes, have in the past but not recently
Gavin Lopez
see a therapist mate, find out what the real problem is or you're just gonna keep running round the hamster wheel
Nathaniel Sanders
Protein Note: weigh it RAW.
1g/pound of goal weight in RAW weight on fresh meats. Otherwise you may stall and go over tdee because you are over-doing your protein intake by anywhere from 10-30% depending on cooked weight. Which often adds too man kcals daily. Make sense?
Eli Hughes
at what point does a calorie deficit contribute to lower metabolism?
Jonathan Mitchell
what the fuck do you guys eat after you break your fast? I heard you don't want to mix carbs and fats, which is easy enough to do, but how long should you adhere to that? is it just the first meal that you eat and then whatever for the rest of the day?
Austin Torres
well your metabolic rate is the rate at which you metabolise a substance, so one would think very quickly
Wyatt Reyes
Ate like five doughnuts today. Still under 2000 Cal's for the day but I feel like shit now.
Nicholas Scott
lunch comes after breakfast
Juan Moore
I had one chocolate chip cookie, half a slice of banana bread that has cream cheese/chocolate chips, and I had one fork bite of a bundt cake.
Chase Diaz
CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES THIS IS MY LAST RESORT >at 356lb right now
Why are you trending in the wrong direction? What is causing you to fail?
Anthony Thompson
I gained 2 pounds this week. I had popcorn at the new Dragonball movie followed by hotpot and ice cream cake on Saturday. Then on Sunday I Ordered Chinese food. I'm so weak, I had just fallen below 175 lbs.
>tfw punishing myself with only 800 calories today
Ryder Sanders
You need to take charge and get serious. 4 years, man. Don’t make it 5.
