I used to use 25% as the estimate from raw to cooked, so if the label said 4 oz and I knew that was raw, then my serving size cooked was 3. When I started weighing before and after cooked, the...
Let me start by saying in no way shape or form am I looking at this as a permanent or long term solution. I am at coming up to the last week of a fitness comp and a lot of the stuff is determined by...
My current scale is a 29 dollar walmart special. It seems to get "stuck". It will show the same exact weight for liek 3 days, then day 4 it drops a full pound. A lot of times instead of the weight...
Going down the road and looking into buying one. I know the accuracy of these types of items can be in question so I wouldn't necessarily start adding a cookie at night because my watch said I burnt...
I think you've kind of mentioned the issue here with why it doens't work for you. I meal prep on Sunday afternoon or evening for Monday though - thurs. And then meal prep thurs night for Fri- Sun. ...
Going down the road and looking into buying one. I know the accuracy of these types of items can be in question but like a faulty scale, while the initial weight might be right, if used probably you...
There is a middle ground with this. I absolutely agree that you have to do what works best for you but I would imagine most would find it a lot easier by planning their meals out a day or full weeks...
On a related side note. there are some food items that have their nutritional facts all over the place depending on the website you check. Serving sizes vary liek...
Thank you. Obviously determining my true TDEE is pretty difficult, so I will pick the calorie range and just monitor progress weeks 2-4. Depending on what calculator I use it goes from 2744 to...
This is the best advice. Calculators are basically a good spot way to estimate where you might want to start but its incredibly hard for those to be accurate. What is accurate is what your data is...
Appreciate the reply. If 1 lb weight loss = 3500, then to lose 2 lbs, I'd need a 7000 cal deficit for the week or 1000 cal a day deficit. With my TDEE at 2744, 1920 would be within (above...
I am not saying my metabolism dropped from very normal to slow in that time period, I am saying it was low to begin with and obviously due to my age hasnt gotten better. I am not purposely trying to...
I get where both of you are coming from and perhaps I am taking a too aggressive approach when it comes to the calorie count but just going off personal history, stuff in the 22-2300 range ended up...
I do weight training 5-6 days a week. 3 of those days is done at a F45 gym. Circuit training with lighter weights. 35 seconds on, 25 seconds off. 12 Exercises,...
I am struggling with one part of this and that is finding the correct nutritional facts for items without labels ( top round steak, sweet potatoes, etc). I can generally calculate...
Also are there calculators out there specific for calculating on and off days? Or should I just take whatever they spit it out on a daily basis, multiply it by 7 for my weekly intake and then adjust...
I should have stated this before. My goal is weight loss for sure. I dont even mind shedding some muscle. Im at 176 now and told myself until I hit 165 I won't be too worried about muscle loss. ...
I am dialing back into an exact macro count after falling off for over a year (which has resulted in about 10 lbs of weight gain). Wasn't going full blown taco bell/pizza everday but just was...
Thanks! I guess the best question is how do you determine which to use? 0, 1/8, 1/4" ? I assume this is the width of the largest section of fat while looking down at the cut and it could just be...
