@johnjs37 Your whole “primed to eat more” is quite honestly ridiculous and if you really believe that, that’s part of your problem.

@johnjs37 Where did you get this? Primed to eat more? 🤣 Taller people expend more energy hence the higher TDEE. More bone mass, more muscle mass usually, even fat mass. We don’t expend as much energy and should be as hungry as a result. If you are as hungry, maybe you really aren’t eating...

@legolas2106 That’s not true. Some meals wouldn’t be enough for someone who is 6’5 so they “adjust” by ordering more or eating more later. It’s perspective.

@johnjs37 You’re not robbed. You just need smaller portions. Literally that’s all there is to it. I had Crumbl Cookies a couple of weeks ago and had a sample of every. Single. Flavor. I didn’t over-indulge, I tracked the cals, still hit my deficit and felt amazing. You’ll get to a point where...

@notaperfectchristian “Carbs make you fat” so false lol

@freds I’m 5’2 120 lbs 48yo My bmr is sluggish despite 10k steps every day, cardio/boxing 30-60 mins EACH day and lifting 3x a week for 45-60 mins. I’m currently adding in calories to figure out my maintenance. I’m up to 1500 (sometimes 1600) and I haven’t gained or lost anything in 3 weeks...

@irishamerican4christ Everyone’s calorie needs are pretty unique. You’ll need to try it out and see how it goes. I strength train 3-4x a week, 10k steps daily that includes some hiit) and am at 1400 losing roughly 1/2 pound a week usually. 1800 would likely be maintenance or a bit of a surplus...

@yakob123 I think there’s such a wide variety of shapes it’s hard to say. 160 on you might actually be quite lean and slender. 160 on me is like Danny DeVito. I don’t hold weight well at all. I was squeezing into size small leggings at 148 but the difference now at 120 is crazy. They are legit...

@golden21 Love is blind 😂 If you haven’t already, check out VR fitness apps like Supernatural or FitVR or Les Mills body combat. Time flies and you burn a ton more calories than on elliptical / treadmill.

@foulendeparis First off, you’re doing great and have made some amazing changes! I’m curious on what kinds of foods you’re eating and how you’re tracking them? Are you weighing to the gram to ensure you’re not going over in calories and eating more at maintenance? For what it’s worth, I worked...

@slant It’s more than OK, it’s often advisable to take a break and even eat at maintenance cals for a bit. Go enjoy some new recipes!

@jodi1028 Wear your most gorgeous outfit and let your personality shine!! What you find as imperfections and needing work, a guy who likes you for you won’t care. Trust. You got this!

@monicachere I had a fun pack of sour patch kids and even logged it 🤣 Honestly the Hershey type chocolate is horrible and I keep telling myself to save the calories for better tasting quality chocolate. Seemed to help.

I did an upper 27 min lifting heavy upper body workout last week and burned 60 calories for reference. Basically nothing.

@sorthodox Lifting isn’t a very big calorie burn, typically. An hour brutal leg day for me is maybe a burn of 260 cals depending on my rep speed/power. I wouldn’t even count it if your lifting isn’t intense. You’re likely 1400 if you’re not even getting a minimum 4k steps/movement.

Also, I do think the bone density is accurate so great job on that! The lifting is working! Great to see that go up!

@hvkadk12 This has convinced me that these scans are complete bullshit and I no longer want one. You look LEAN and STRONG. I don’t trust it’s accuracy at all. It says you have like 30 pounds of fat? WHERE? There is no way!

@francis_mcc You are actually strongest once your period starts and your hormones come down from their luteal high. Look up Dr Stacy Sims and her book Roar. She’s got tons of good advice on how to workout and train around your cycle for optimum results including nutrition around your cycle, as...

@g3ntl3w4rri0r Many in this sub (usually newer ones) simply need to get in their heads that this hard work is to be the best version of themselves. Not someone else.

@luin31 It was 2 upper and 1 lower but now it’s an even 2 upper and 2 lower. I need booty gains!!
