I eat take aways pretty mu h daily I just keep under my tdee and still losing weight.Found out last year I’m the same age as Homer Simpson, looking in the mirror this morning I’m now the same shape so think I’ll be back on this thread. Mental health is tough living with my parents and waiting for my house to go through so currently in that rut where I know exercise will help but it feels like the most impossible thing in the world and I just want to consume by body weight in fast food.
My fitness pal is the best and well worth the money, can set goals and separate macro targets, link your your apple wag h or Samsung wat h upto it track all your food either by searching or scanning barcode, honestly worth it, has most food from supermarkets take aways ect.Looks like it might be Android only unfortunately!
I used it over summer pretty well, and as you suggest I was honest too with things like beer and chocolate - definitely felt guilty when adding those things!
I saw the meal option and am going to start using that. It’s small (and silly) things like how much cereal is in a bowl, or how to add a handful of peanuts etc!

So if you want low carb, you can set a limit, or high protein high carb low fat you can set that, makes it 10x easier to track and make sure your not over eating a certain macro, I focus on protein I eat a out 200g per day, carbs and fat I eat what ever as long as it comes under 1700 calories.What’s the macro target stuff all about?
Something I learnt only 5 weeks ago.Mad isn't it? Hate seeing all the bollocks stuff about but you can scran whatever you want as long as you stay in a deficit, you'll lose fat.
I'm about to go low carb and calories as I have a back operation coming up in April and need to be 20/25% bf I'm at about 28% now I think.Weighed myself after having a drink most days for the last few weeks and chocolate, fry ups over Christmas and no exercise of any intensity, 5Ib on (which isn't too bad but nevertheless nearly as heavy as I've ever been).
Going to get back on the 16:8 I think and cut down the beer and bread.
How are you 28% body fat when only eating 1700 calories? What’s your maintenance cals?I'm about to go low carb and calories as I have a back operation coming up in April and need to be 20/25% bf I'm at about 28% now I think.
I’m so shit at this now that I am pescatarian. Really struggle to hit my protein goals. Need to just start smashing shakes I thinkmacro, I focus on protein I eat a out 200g per day, carbs and fat I eat what ever as long as it comes under 1700 calories

Because I was a fat fucker haha, still am just less fat, and my tdee 3100, but I'm tryna lose weight before April well mainly losing bf now,How are you 28% body fat when only eating 1700 calories? What’s your maintenance cals?
Yea in in over a 1400 calorie deficit, but I need to hit my goal, otherwise I may have the op cancelled.200g of protein is a serious amount for only 1,700 calories. Are you doing a massive deficit? I'm on 2,200 calories for loss and I'm 6ft, 120kgs give or take.

Saw some research into diet methods (16/8, low carb, etc) the takeaway was basically all of them are methods of tricking you into eating less calories.
Can't claim its healthy but I work in it so I don't exactly need energy for my body haha, if I start feeling like shit I will just revesse diet back up to 2.5k calories or something.Wow. That's a big one that. What's the timeframe? Sounds like you're doing well to be fair mate!
Ah yeah, seen April above. Good luck!
Yeah I get that about 16:8 that fundamentally that's what it isSaw some research into diet methods (16/8, low carb, etc) the takeaway was basically all of them are methods of tricking you into eating less calories.
This is literally where it ends. People can talk about intermittent fasting, high protein diets*, high fat diets, slimming world, this fad that fad whatever.....if you wanna lose weight it’s calories in versus calories out and you can disguise that however you want to feel like you’ve cracked the code but it is what it is. Move more and eat less. End of story.100%. The science is very simple. Stay underneath your maintenance calories and you'll lose weight. Either by moving more or eating less. Either is fine. Both even better.
It's a billion dollar industry but all really focussed around that one principle. Slimming world and the like is a joke imo.
Don't get me started on "Hey, pay me 50 quid a month and Ill give you three milkshakes a day and hey presto, look how quick youve lost weight!"
Aye...what a surprise. You stopped eating and just comsumed liquid for 8 weeks and lost 3 stone. Jokers.
Edit - disclaimer...I'm no shining beacon of fitness. I'm up and down but I understand the principles of it I just struggle with consistency! The few from here I've met will tell you I'm no ripped fitness expert!
A little bit of misinformation on here. If you consume less calories than your maintenance figure then you'll lose WEIGHT, not necessarily fat.
To lose fat, then the other factors such as macros and exercise come into play.
That's what my issues been I've been going through beer like nobody's business I got furloughed so all I've done is drank drank and drank, I may of gone bskc up to 20 stone but hey ho we reboot and go again, good job on the 2 stone dropped of you and onto me.Gone from doing nothing exercise wise to amazon delivery and dropped 2 stone since start of November, despite eating and drinking the same.
Need to cut out the beers and will hopefully drop another stone.

I've been working throughout the whole thing until end of November when they decided to make the most of furlough been terrible for both oysicak and mental health but now my cast is off I'm back out walking atm, got some weights and what not although they are not heavy so, we will see I want to be around 14 but end of yearI was the same.
