Thoughts on fitness vidya?

I'm fat

Thingken of starvemaxing

About 3 years ago I went from my fattest (6', 242 lbs) to leaner than I was in high school (167 lbs). It was a good feeling. I am now back to 210. To clarify, I hit my low weight about 3 years ago. I did super strict keto and calorie reduction and lost the weight over about 6 months.

How did you guys like fasting? I'm highly aware my eating is more from stress or boredom than hunger. I think if I found fasting novel or enjoyable I could probably stick with it.

This is likely the last or next to last 72h fast since I started my first one almost two months ago (depends how much visual change there is). More than a 10kg difference since then, and my fifth one.
Should be more accurate now that I have a tracking scale.
I also should have electrolytes now so we'll see how that goes.

I'm currently on day 19 of water fasting, and I've done a 30 and a 14 before. I even do (moderate) physical labor in the heat at my current job and manage. It's not too bad, and it would be even easier if I stopped fucking browsing /ck/ to stare at food like a retard. Max weight was 279 last year, now I'm about 198.

Jason Fung's The Obesity Code was a good audiobook listen while I was out walking.

>>74734076
The 2000kcal basal should be with current weight :/

>>74734095
go lower then fatty, 1400

>>74734095
Eat at 2000kcal for a week and then go hard again. Or switch to OMAD. Either way, change things up so your body's adaptation to your new intake is thrown out of wack for a while.

>>74734100
I guess I really have no other option..
Apparently the tdee math is just bullshit.

>>74734120
300 kcal is a very small deficit, not a lot of room for error, the food industry is a fucking joke and food nutrition labelling is not an exact science or something I think companies would give too many fucks about you might be giving them too much credit
if you've been eating the same things these
past weeks maybe try getting the same number of calories but from completely different foods/sources/brands, could be some product you consume is raping you with calories you're not consenting to

>>74734020
Weighed in at 187lbs today started at 245lbs on May 8th
Goal weight is like 145lb at 5'10 by end of year
I'm feeling motivated to start a long fast until August 8th to try and reach 170lb
I want to be able to say I lost 75lbs in 3 months

>>74734040
>you actually don't get to punch Miku

>weight stalled all week long
Why does my body hate me?

How much of weighing frustrations come from typical cheap home scales just being dogshit? I'd visit a gym or hospital with a medical scale and use that

Having a cheat meal tonight and on Monday to recreate my Grandpa's spaghetti with meat sauce recipe for my Grandma. I will resume my carnivorous ways afterwards.

My diet is fixed, literally. I just eat the same 3 meals every day:
>Morning:
2 eggs + 2 round breads + a cup of tea

A rice dish with two sauces + 2 250ml sodas
>Dinner:
Some dessert/sugary beverage

If you're losing weight and not noticing the difference you were probably massively obese and selectively brainwashing yourself to think there isn't a difference between 150kg and 110kg. Look at old photos of yourself. If you don't have any, then just trust me, you change a fuck ton and don't know because you don't know how much of hamplanet you were.

How do you deal with death face when cutting on low cals? My parents rekon my eyes look all sunken, not sure if they are generally concerned or just trying keep me fat? Does collagen peptides help keep skin looking good when losing weight?

>>74734759
Lol, low-fat diet problems.

>>74734759
get more protein, vitamins and fat in you, go out in the sun more, get more sleep and drink plenty of water. Natural they are concerned for your wellbeing.

>>74734759
Stop cutting

>get more depressed, because I'll never join them in the sun
Why are you trying to talk yourself out of doing this?
You're literally the only person who decides this

just brave it, once you're thin on one hand your thin face will look normal and fine on your thin body and without immediate comparisons to your fat face and on the other you'll eat a more balanced diet and will look better and healthier

>>74734803
Height?
Looks like another 20kg. You should look good in high 70s

>>74734803
Probably another 30 or 40 pounds.
Your goal should be between 180 and 160, unless you're a manlet or you have tons of muscles. I don't know if you're a manlet, but you don't have tons of muscles.

>>74735202
195cm/6'5
>>74735219
yeah that's what I was figuring too. I'm working out but I'm mostly concentrated on loosing fat before gaining mass anyways.

>>74735173
Stop comparing yourself to other people and start comparing the options you have in front of you.
Objectively the lower your starting point the more impact weight loss is going to have. Maybe you don't spend your 30s crushing puss (or maybe you do) but avoiding strokes and heart attacks alone will have 10x the impact of that on your quality of life. Being able to walk on your own without a mobility scooter will have more impact on your QoL than any of that.

And that's only where it starts, not where it ends. You can go basically as far as you can push your body to take you. So many people are infected by this retarded perfectionist nihilism where they compare themselves to the most genetically gifted and most diligent and because they didn't start at the finish line they give up.
You've got a clear vision in your head of what life you want to lead and you aren't even trying to chase it because you've convinced yourself it's impossible. The only thing that giving up does is set that outcome in stone and protect you from the effort of trying, failing and trying again.

>>74735256
If you're really 6'5", then I must change my advice slightly. Your goal should be 180, period. Only once you reach that should you consider whether you need to lose more, and only go in five pound increments after that at most. You might even want to stop and re-evaluate things around 190.

You're close, anon. You're gonna make it.

Going on keto. I'm just going to eat 20g of carbs whenever I get keto flu until I stop getting it, I need to lose weight fast, I'm sick of being self-conscious about my fat disgusting body when I wear a t-shirt

>>74735310
Enjoy going bald

>>74735286
The number doesnt matter much, my goal is much more based on what I see than what the scale says. As soon as I have lost my gut and whatever remains of my mantits I'll go maintenance for the rest of summer.
Thanks anon, you're gonna make it too.

>Eat the same thing
>Scale no go down
Why my body do this?

>>74734045
If I was fat I would just forget to eat. Go play war thunder whenever you feel like eating.

>24 hour fast

Damn Ive been good for literal months, guess you never really outgrow binge eating habits. I thought I could have just one slice. No more pizza for me.

>>74735310
If you need to lose weight fast, then why the fuck keto? Just count calories. Keto is a shitty meme diet and you will fail

Atleast read the post before you reply fastard, your brain must be struggling from the lack of food. Maybe it's time for your bi-daily binge.

Fun ways to burn some calories at home. I own this game, and burn calories playing to unlock the outfits and songs and trying for better scores. I don't need motivation when I do it for fun.

Also, alternating activities keeps it fun too, so you don't burn out of the same game/routine. I have RingFit, MikuBox, PumpItUp, DDR. Throw a few push-ups and squats at the end.

>>74735796
I'm curious how many calories fitness games actually burn. Do you work up a sweat playing these as someone who does regular exercise outside of fitness games?

I am just starting to get back into ddr. 45 minute session (probably 18 minutes of actual song time) left me drenched jn sweat. I drank a liter of water while playing and sweat so much I was still over 1lb lighter when I got home.

My fitness tracker estimated 300 cal burn based on my heart rate. I know these aren't the most accurate, but it's a decent estimate.

People will make fun, but I liken it to interval training. 90 seconds of high intensity, 60 seconds of rest. I still lift weights and do a lot of hiking, but ddr is a great way to break an intense sweat after work when I don't have time for a strenuous hike

Keep pushing anon. I'm where you are now. I've lost a lot of weight, and while my belly has gotten a lot smaller, it's still not flat, so I sometimes feel like it's hopeless and that I'll never look good. But that's not true. You have to be honest with yourself anon. You know deep down that if you keep going, you'll achieve your goal. You will look good and you will join them in the sun. But you have to persist. You have to stay the course. You have a reason to get up. A very good reason. But you're tired. That's all it is. Give yourself a rest. You have to retrain yourself to stop feeling bad about how you look now, and start feeling happy about the good things; the fact that you're still chasing your goal; that you've lost weight; that you've made a real change. Keep going anon. It is the hardest thing you have done in your life, but you can do it. And the reward at the end will be worth it. And you will forever be able to say you've done it. We're both going to make it.

I was coming back from work, on the hottest day of the year so far in england, having skipped breakfast and lunch, and I had a revelation, a vision from the future

I saw it clearly /fat/, we are all going to make it.

I started crying tears of happiness in the bus, in my vision of the future you guys looked better than you've ever looked before, you wore clothes off the rack and they fit perfectly we all looked fantastic, then we all went to the park and sat in the grass, laughing and exchanging success stories in greentext format, and we shared recipe involving cottage cheese

after a while we sent some guys to mcdonalds to get as many orders of chips as they could carry, we started feeding them to the bulimic girl, we all took turns with her making her throw up with our erect dicks, random people walking through the park started joining and they were all fat, because they had not made it yet, but we let them join in the orgy anyways

Why'd you gotta go and make it all weird at the end

I have been working out, doing cardio, eating less not eating bad for months. Bad metabolism runs in my family. But i didn’t give up. I felt stronger, faster, fitter but whenever i weighed myself i was 100kg/220lb+. Today i weighed myself and finally i am at 98kg/216lb.

Its nice to know its working. I am going to keep going. I don’t know if i should have a goal. 180lb/82kg sounds good to me.

>>74734678
yeah.. that's a great summary of where I was too until I started taking things seriously again. it's weirdly easy to live in denial.
- welp, start from the beginning. pick a food tracking app, and enter everything you eat and drink in there, every meal, every snack, every day.
- while you do that for a few days, figure out your TDEE using the calculators in the top post.
- figure out your daily calorie goals (sedentary TDEE - 500, probably), and see how that compares to your current eating habits.
- pick a diet style that might work for you. I recommend high-protein and relatively low-carb, since it'll help you not feel too hungry, can keep your blood sugar at reasonable levels with minimal or no medication, and should help preserve muscle mass as you lose weight.
- the carbs you do eat should mostly come from minimally processed ingredients (fruits and veggies) rather than bread, granulated sugar, rice, sodas or pastries. if you must have bread, consider switching to a low-carb bread.
- start taking some basic daily supplements (multivitamin, fish oil, vitamin D, at least.)
- schedule an annual wellness visit with your doctor. get the basic metabolic and lipid panel tests done to spot any obvious badness your self-neglect may have caused/aggravated, so you can start addressing those. your doctor may prescribe some drugs to help correct things if they're bad enough, otherwise your diet and weight loss should be enough.
- if your weight allows it (BMI<35), consider doing some cardio, like walking, every day. it doesn't have to be right away, don't overwhelm yourself.
- once you start getting leaner, you can also consider adding some strength training a few times a week.

Not gonna eat snacks again bros. I went like 4 months without eating any at all: no chocolates, no biscuits, nothing that wasn't part of a proper, healthy meal. But then one day I said fuck it, and started eating them. I thought, one won't hurt, as long as stay under my daily calorie limit. But it made me start slipping. My habits got worse. I started cheating a little. I'd eat stuff and put down less calories than what it was. Or just not count the calories at all. As you can see, I'm still losing weight, but at a slower rate. Well, I'm not gonna let this stop me. I'm gonna stop eating snacks and get back on track. I WILL accomplish my goal this year. Fuck niggers

Evens and I meet my goal tomorrow

>>74736845
Good job anon!! I hope to be sub 100 kg/220 lb by the end of next month

>>74736942
youve lost 0.77kg per week anon, thats good going. considering most people recommend losing 0.5kg/week, youre still doing very well.

>>74735310
Don't break keto when you get keto flu symptoms, that's just dragging things out.
Drink a warm cup of broth instead. Bone broth if you can, because that stuff is the bomb, but really, any broth will do.
Warm salty vaguely meat-flavored water if you must.

The relatively low protein intake that comes with a keto diet can mean you will lose some muscle mass. You can mitigate that by doing regular physical activity, and you could choose to have more proteins and a little less fat while still keeping your carbs down.

Use keto as a mean to help you reach your daily calorie goals, not as a substitute for having calorie goals.

Make sure to take a good multivitamin, fish oil, vitamin D, and fiber supplements to make up for your diet restriction. That'll prevent a whole host of potential issues, including >>74735396's concern.

Yeah but then you have a donut from a place you used to go as a kid and be happy to realize it is no longer the same.

Then just use that self hatred to fuel more loss.

I was scared of losing weight so quickly. Also I was having bad mental health/hormonal side effects and a resurgence in my OCD which was hell. I'm still eating 600 cals per day below maintenance plus I increased my activity.

>>74737275
You were losing weight quickly because you're obese. Nobody loses 12 pounds in 2 weeks on a 1,000-1,200 calorie deficit unless they are obese. It's a shame because you were just over the hardest part. I'm on a 1,000 calorie deficit myself and I stopped feeling hungry after two weeks of eating at regular times, so my body knows when it's feeding time

>everything is measured in kj instead of kcal
nobody uses fucking kj for fuck sake i need fucking CALORIES stop maaking me fucking have to convert everything you pieces of shit

Just wrapped up my first bulk after graduating from /fat/. 5 months of eating and training like a madman. Went from 157 to 179. Im excited to diet with you guys for the next 8 weeks. I also recreated my most depressing beginner photo since im back at my parent's house for the week and my gut was so distended from all the rice and oats. Ill post it next.

>>74737286
I'm 5 foot 7" 212lbs (start), 200lbs (now). Body fat was ~34%. I've lost weight on a lower deficit than that before without increasing my activity levels just by eating better. My deficit in this case was accidentally ~1,600 because I'm mathematically challenged. Staying at that deficit I wasn't hungry, however I was exhausted and my mental health took a very bad turn. It wasn't worth it for the OCD.

thanks anons. i just wanna show theres ways we can still enjoy food, even a lot, as long as we can justify it with training and adjust once we get too big. once youve got some momentum and your metabolism readjusts i think youll be surprised how much easier it becomes to lose weight. 15-20 pounds to lose is a whole different beast from the 100+ we're accustomed to losing here. no need to fear getting obese again if you stay active and can cut down when necessary. no more rebounding 50+ pounds ever again.

>>74737381
I look forward to the day when I no longer have to count calories and can just eat 3 meals a day like a normal person

>>74737397
Uh, spoiler alert, but... that day never comes. You wanna stay non-fat, you keep counting calories. Not counting calories is what got us all here

>>74737397
I dont count calories anymore, but counting calories for years gave me laser eyes that estimate calories very accurately. Youll be surprised what you learn from the process. I will be rigidly counting calories while I diet back down for my next japan trip in september. 2000 and light walks to start, escalating in intensity and dropping calories up until the last week. Also practicing my bullet hell skills for the trip. Id like to 1 credit clear a game while Im there. Here's my shitty youtube where I upload my progress.

https://youtu.be/cLcSAwDE25Y

>>74737420
This lol, the day you stop you get fat again. Once you are fat your rest point readjusts so you need to constantly count.

>>74737420
>>74737428
I would at the very least count calories for several months after getting to your goal weight. Then be smart about your eating and check your weight every week or two to keep yourself in check. Also if you weight train and do cuts once or twice a year, youre golden to not even count calories outside of cuts.

>>74737332
>>74737340
that much muscle gains in 5 months? apologies for the noob question, but are you on steroids, or this is realistically achievable without in that time-frame?

I don't think this day will ever come for me. It's like needing glasses when you don't see well. I need to count calories to not eat like a pig. I will probably keep counting, even when setting my goal to maintenance.

my weight loss journey has been very long and I had a week of maintenance break here and there when I got too tired. It's not a bad thing for me.

>my weight loss journey has been very long and I had a week of maintenance break here and there when I got too tired. It's not a bad thing for me
not bad at all. i always recommend maintenence breaks. best recommendation for a glutton i can give is to get atleast skinnyfat or lean then justify the food with good training and occassional light dieting.

So I've been weighing my food wrong, I'm actually only eating about 600 calories a day. Should I stay on that? So far it's been do-able.

today I was measured (height) for the first time since I was 17 or so at the doctor. I'm 33 now. Looks like I wasn't fully grown yet back then lol. I always assumed I'm 180 cm (5 ft 11 inch) but turns out I'm 184 cm (6 ft 1 inch). Is there any way to update that on fatty contest for accurate BMI display?

>inspiring, I'm very close to end of weight loss (17% bf, started at 31%) and I hope I can stay motivated to lift for as long as you have
a few months ago my coworker told me i seemed very rundown from the training and that i should make it something i enjoy. i was a bit pissed at the time, but eventually took it to heart. you gotta learn to love it which may require changing your training methods and mindset. just food for thought. experiment with another training regimen, new music, maybe a training partner or coach. for me it was reintroducing heavy doubles and singles for a few weeks every once in a while to my high rep hypertrophy program.

They give you free food because they know the addictive substances in it will make you dependent on it.

Look if you can eyeball it and not become fat that's great but just as counting calories is proven to work for weight loss, so too does counting calories help for maintenace.

Went grocery shopping, walked through some slop aisles and decided not to buy anything. Went home and ate an apple instead. I haven't really bought any highly processed shit in a while and I don't want to break the streak.

Macros: way too many carbs and fats, not enough proteins.
Other vitamins: absolute lack of balance
You will have metabolic problems later on if McDonalds is the majority of your nutrient intake.
I'm not even talking about sneed oils here, I'm just talking about basic nutrition.
When you're a fatty all that matters is calories, but if you're trying to live a healthy life its fucking stupid, you're basically asking "Is it healthy to eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch every day? I stay within my calorie budget! Where's the proof it ISNT healthy??"

cholesterol dummy. that said, first step is moderating calories even if it is mcdonalds. then you inch towards cleaner eating over time.

A suspiciously swole 50 year old keeps telling me how I should do 1.5 hours of cardio a day and be in the gym 3 hours a day bro, and that I should be losing 10kg a month, and that I should hire a personal trainer and that he knows a guy.

>>74737677
>Macros: way too many carbs and fats, not enough proteins
20 chicken nuggets from mcdonalds is 830 cals
46g protein, 51g carbs, 49g fat

>>74737703
yes and even on roids thats retarded training

>walked past an absolute lard elemental in the gym earlier who was near-death on the elliptical
just wanted to drop by and say ygmi in case you're itt

>>74737705
830 calories of white chicken would be and 18 oz serving with 158g of protein, zero carbs, and 18g of fat

>>74737600
Even if you somehow have the steely willpower needed to resist that those foods are literally designed to get you to eat more of them past whatever calorie goal you've set, it's going to throw your nutrients out of whack, giving you a lot of sodium, saturated fat and fried carbs, while starving your body of fresh fruits and vegetables, and of all the nutrients that would come with them.
I suspect that someone with a very active lifestyle might be able to survive this for a while as long as they take a bunch of supplements, while sedentary folks -their target market- are doomed to catch one or more metabolic disorders sooner or later.
You can readily find many epidemiology studies pointing to very clear links between fast food consumption and obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

I dunno tho, I aim for 30 minutes of intense cardio 5 days a week, which is what the (((WHO))) seems to recommend.
Maybe that's low, but I'm already kinda struggling to do that much + weight lifting + caloric deficit.

>>74737737
And I'm fucking telling you that if you skip the fried chicken paste nuggets and just eat chicken breast, you can eat 50% more food by weight and also mog chickie nuggies in terms of macros.

Don't try to argue that McDonalds is healthy if you take a multivitamin and watch your calories. Its not a sustainable diet.

I failed a few times starting out, trying to take on too much at once, going to chickfila after leaving the gym every time, I put on muscle and I was losing a little weight but I could tell I wasn't doing what I should be

I started feeling like a retard every time I ate some unhealthy garbage like I was falling for some trick, and I hate being made to feel like a retard, started cutting out all processed foods/seed oils/sugar initially and it kind of became a game, never counted calories or anything but I'm sure just by the fact I cut out all that garbage my calories probably dropped in half naturally

if I ever ate fast food it was the common cope, no bread, etc etc, was still using things like artificial sweeteners and paying more attention to the carbs than the actual quality of the food I was eating

and as I kept researching and learning I got more invested in my own health and started paying more attention to what I was putting in my body, not just macros, ate basically keto for a while (meat/vegetable/nuts/olive oil/butter/etc) which I enjoyed, but eventually weight loss stalled

in the end I started doing carnivore which is probably pretty extreme but it fits my life so perfectly because I've always noticed most of my binge eating back then was always when I felt like I didn't have enough meat in a meal

anyway, now I'm back in the gym and it's pretty fun to see yourself get stronger when you lift, but it's even better to compare things you that used to be somewhat taxing being a breeze now

>>74738053
>loose skin
i feel for you guys who have loose skin, i really do. im very fortunate in that im skinny fat body type and no matter how much i eat, i can only get to like 95kg. once im there it would take a LOT of overeating to continue putting on weight. man, just thinking about how much i hated having that big belly at 95kg. looked like i was pregnant because my arms and legs were still pretty skinny. now im just starting to look normal and those tiny stretch marks on my love handles are beginning to fade. but loose skin..man..i really truly feel for you guys that have that. thankfully theres surgery for it, i hope it isnt too expensive.

and when you aren't fasting, eat what you normally would on a diet
DO NOT BINGE between fasts
work your way up to 7+ day fasts
buy some snake juice

>>74738408
ok but this is negated by simply counting calories, which is a matter of mental fortitude, not about whether seed oils are inherently bad for you. explain how mcdonalds is bad for your health in the long term

>>74738444
It's faster if you have the willpower
Problem is a lot of people don't
Plus even if you do, it's not resetting your food habits once you stop fasting so it can be more likely to yoyo

I'd say it's usually better to develop the habit of multiple meals a day with healthy food and healthy portions at a deficit first, and then shifting to maintenance with the same habits once you make it

>>74738409
Yes, but I wouldn't combine it with lifting. If I don't eat mostly protein after gym days, it takes me days to recover and slows my gains. Pulled my back and shoulders bad last Sunday and I'm only healed up enough to start working out upper body again today.

I'd say track your calories and eat stuff that's filling.

Anyway, I got to be a fatass in the first place by only eating 1 meal a day and drinking nothing but black coffee and diet cokes so YMMV. Still only eat 1 meal a day. I hate eating during the day, makes me sleepy. I'm just not eating giant meals anymore.

Skipping a meal or two isn't a bad idea if your body is feeling good, though.

>I won't pig out the next day to compensate?
this is the same guy that said
>For me it's not the cravings it's the waiting
fatty cope as always

>>74738527
Yes I am indeed a fatty. There's a difference between getting some food and no food you nonce. I can manage my current level of cravings, but naturally they'll be higher if I fast. Well, guess there's only one way to find out

>>74738467
>explain how mcdonalds is bad for your health in the long term
look in the mirror

>>74738557
there is no difference
that's, once again, fatty cope

Brutal

I have found a food that is delicious, but also makes me want to stop eating later.

Grated cheese + mayo + raw garlic.

It tastes great, but a few hours later I get a very painful stomach ache that lasts for a long time.

sounds like lactose intolerance

> Same kick as wasabi.

No it doesn't, you probably bought some knock off labelled as Wasabi, most likely you haven't eaten REAL wasabi.

mmmm baby carrots

My maintenance cals are 2700 and I've been eating 2100 + exercise but not losing weight. I'm def not counting wrong because I have a specific way of eating things and measuring. Haven't lost weight in 1 month but in theory should have dropped at least 1-2lbs. Want to cry man.

It's strange, my mom sounds nervous and reserved when I tell her about my weight loss progression
Maybe she's worried it won't stick since I've been fat all my life, maybe it's something else
All other family is excited for me about it

Can sugar cause anxiety? Yesterday i had a milkshake kinda thing on top of a big and carb rich dinner and it was a glut of sugar like i haven't had in a long while. Afterwards i had huge anxiety.
Have you, anon, gone through something like that before?

>>74738744
What's your height and weight? You eating high protein and lifting?

>>74738748
Wait and see. I doubt your mom is one of those people who will get upset by your progress, but anything's possible.

>>74738748
Moms always fear the worst for their children. Maybe she thinks you'll get obsessed and become anorexic or something. She might relax if she can see that you're eating enough and not starving

>>74738684
No. I drink 1-1.5 liters of milk every day. The problem is the raw garlic. It tastes so good when it is with other things but my stomach can't tolerate it in larger quantities.

>>74738757
Probably, if you get a sugar rush and don't channel that into exercise it can convert the energy into anxiety, same way with caffeine
Anxiety is very physical, nothing helps it more than exercise

>>74738759
5'6" manlet 205lbs. Lifting 3 days per week also 30 mins cardio

want to order my KFC cheat meal today (zinger combo) but its only 8:54 am and doesnt open until 10 am. also delivery is like $8-9 here in australia

>>74738827
Your calculations are wrong, always choose sedentary and go from there, you should probably drop to 1700-1800 cals.

>>74738827
Read the OP, always calculate with sedentary activity selected
If you want more accuracy use the Katch-McArdle one, but you'll need measuring tape for body measurements

>>74738870
>>74738874
Aaahhhh okay thanks that explains it. I always miss the small details. How come you always use sedentary btw is there a specific reason?

>>74738906
because it works
has your way been working for you?

>>74738981
Nothing ever works for me lol I fail at everything in life. Thanks for the good advice anyway I will try it.

>it's all CICO!
>don't count calories out though
Curious...

NIgga, i'm 5 10 and 65kg and i had to drop to 1500kcal to get results.

>doordash website told me my zinger combo was 698 calories
>check on the kfc website today
>its 720 calories
22 calories isnt a big diff, but man, i feel cheated :'(

>>74738998
yeah, TDEE calculators really need to stop asking you for your 'activity level'. that shit does not help anyone. it should just give you the figure that you would get from selecting 'sedentary'.

>>74739054
correction, its actually 739.7 calories
fucking hell

Is it possible to calorie count chipotle bowls

>>74738906
The "because it works" answer is probably the best one. But if you'd like more words, it's because the more active lifestyles don't actually boost your calorie expenditure by nearly as much as those calculators claim, because they assume your calorie consumption at rest is unchanged by the amount of activity you do next to them, and that's very much not true. Your body will burn less calories at rest to make up for having burned more calories during activities.
So is the "Sedentary" option exactly right for active folks? No. But it's closer to being correct than the numbers the other options will throw at you.
Anyway, you're not going to fail, you just adjust your approach until it works, and then you're doing.. whatever the opposite of failing happens to be.
Hooray.

Trying out carnivore. 2 weeks in and not only do I still have cravings (while only eating beef, butter, and eggs) but I've only lost 15 pounds of which the majority was the first week whoosh of water weight. I'm tempted to just move to eating clean with I.F. CICO. Any Anons > 300lbs have any input?

>>74739173
You can estimate but how many calories are in a scoop that the wagie doles out? Who knows. I just assume I'm eating 10-20% more than that they list online.

>>74739173
Yes https://www.chipotle.com/nutrition-calculator, but really no.
There's a stupendous amount of variance in the quantities used for the same item between stores, employees, hours, and moods, so whatever their little calculator throws at you could be far removed from what you actually end up with in your hand. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/chipotle-bowl-menu-portion-sizes

>went on a small binge last night
>woke up with two extra pounds on the scale
>try to keep it 2000 calories per day but realized today i mindlessly ate around 2500
distressing, but caught myself before I tried to order some more food with the "well i already ate a lot today might as well" shit
gotta stay focused and get back to the normal shit tomorrow

>>74739227
>~690cal for my normal order if I don't get chips and subtract sour cream
Not too bad, I could fit that in

For the first time in my life I finally got a "normal" blood pressure reading... 118/77. It's been high as long as I can remember (as far back as 14)
Cardio fitness is real... I love running

>>74739378
Weight loss, too. My cardiologist told me that every 2 lbs lost roughly equals 1 point of lower blood pressure loss

1: Its the most accurate estimation - if you're trying to account for activity its going to be on a per person basis and its going to be much more innacurate.
2: Its free real estate. You will automatically be working within a caloric deficit. Its the same reason why its not recommended that you track exercise as part of your calorie budget - its generally inaccurate and also its just free negative calories.

I wore a Fitbit religiously and tried to follow its calorie estimation but it did absolutely nothing for me weight wise.
Use Loseit, put in your sex, age, weight and it will update your budget as you lose weight. It's worked for me both times I went on a very major weight loss trend. (First time was right before covid which messed me up, second time is the charm)

>>74738701
>No it doesn't, you probably bought some knock off labelled as Wasabi, most likely you haven't eaten REAL wasabi.
yeah no shit, im talking about the generic wasabi which is made from horseradish, not everyone cares enough to be le authentic one

>Losing weight
>seeing good progress
>doing LISS cardio every session
>struggling to make my deficit clean and often eat 2000 instead of 2500
Should I be worried?
I'm not big enough to get loose skin or stretchmarks but I'm working out again after a 6 year hiatus and I'm still gaining strength (muscle memory?) but I'm worried that I'm hurting myself by doing this

>>74738701
To be fair, most Japanese haven't had "real wasabi" either. Even the stuff labeled "hon-wasabi" is only partially made from the wasabi root, like less than 20%
I do agree that it does taste different from nama-wasabi which is what most people associate with wasabi however

>>74739581
At 2000 cals you should be totally fine, dipping below 1000 is when it gets hard to meet nutrition

update: I sent mummy to the shops to buy KFC for me. Told her to get me a zinger combo. She came back with a zinger burger, large chips, and a bottle of solo. That's like 1200 calories right there. Like 500 over my daily limit. I could have put the bottle of solo in the fridge and given her some of my chips, but no. I decided to pig out. I just couldn't help myself. So tomorrow I have to eat 500cal less than my limit. Won't be too hard. Disappointed in myself for that though.

>>74739779
its not good to carry a calorie debt to the next day like that. it can lead to an ED. why not just go for a 30-60 minute walk tonight and eat normally tomorrow?
