I've been finding it extremely difficult to lose weight/fat.
Here's my daily target and assumptions as well as stats and just wanted to get an opinion on whether this is reasonable.

Current: 185...

I am trying to figure out the best way to calculate calories burned during a workout. I've seen calculators online but I don't know if that is a good guage. They use some type of formula.

For...

So I get that spot reducing doesn't work for fat loss, but what about spot increasing during a bulk. I'm still cutting and won't even consider bulk for a while. But let's say I were to focus on my...

I was looking at the sticky's and couldn't find a good answer on this. How does one calculate/estimate energy expenditure via weight training? Seems important if you want to count accurately.

So it sounds like the consensus is about 1900. I'll do that for a month and see where I'm at. I'll be incorporating training/cardio so I'll just eat more accordingly on those days.

I'm just gonna...

Ya but can I expect them to get bigger at all? I guess worst case they'll appear bigger as the rest of my body will get smaller.

I am afflicted with RFAS (Roger Federer Arm Syndrome) and have a more skinny fat look. Currently on a journey to reach 12% BF. I think I'm around 20% now. Most of my fat is stored on belly/thighs....

What do you think?

Can I see your calcs? I will go back up to 1900 but I'm afraid I won't be making any progress. I'd like to drop the quickest/safest I can possibly go as I'm really just going to focus on fitness for...

I do feel like I've plateaued. If I ate 2000, I would gain for sure right now. For example, was at about 20% in mid-Jan, Now I'm at 19.8%. These numbers are according to scale. I measure every...

Somehow attracted this nice piece online. She was in some cult which didn't let her date. Felt lucky she had never experienced real relationships before and was settling for me. We met several times...

I wasn't planning on eating 1400 calories in addition to the workouts. On the workout days, I'll eat more to hit the same deficit of approx 750. I've been adding about 200cal/30 min.

I thought it was implied that those numbers were expressed as %. Sorry for the confusion. 1400 is what I calculated for approx 1.5 lb/wk. That's assuming maintenance is about 2100 cal. I have a...

I have a goal of reaching 12%. I'm not disillusioned in thinking this will be easy, but I am committed. I believe I'm about 20% BF/178lb/5'10" right now. Been cutting for a few months already. How...

I wanted to update my progress and get new (possibly) estimates. I'm now about 178 which is only 2lb less than when I started this thread but I'm hoping (and somewhat expecting) my % to have reduced....

I'm not trying to make it complicated. Just want to get a ballpark of what my maintenance is. I forgot to mention previously I have a desk job.

By what are you basing this on? I already provided the math I was using. Where is the flaw?

I am trying to lose fat and have a goal of reaching 15%. Currently I am 31/M/5'10"/180lb/20% . This past week I have been eating at strictly 1400 calories, yet have only gone down about .5 lb and...

So I'm trying to take control of my weight. I am 5'10" and about 180 lb which is down from 230 about a year ago. I still feel motivated and am currently about halfway through BodyBeast. My diet has...

The pivot points are fixed. They are controlled by a welded rod on the main structure. There are two separate square channel members that slide into each side of the rod and then screwed into the...
