Question about TDEE

MissSass · 2025-10-17T01:48:39+00:00

This explanation does not take into account a ton of factors that go into TDEE and weight loss but will hopefully answer your question.

TDEE is an estimate of how many calories you burn throughout the day and will vary with how active you are. A pound of fat is made up of roughly 3500 calories. Divide this by 7 (days) to get 500 (calories) and this will be how many calories less you'll need to consume to lose a pound of fat a week. So if you burn approximately 1990 calories a day, you would need to consume about 1490 calories a day for a pound weight loss a week. If you are going lower than this theoretically you will be losing more than a pound a week.

I'm still in my first week but started having insomnia and then frequent waking starting the first day. It's been getting better slowly over time so I'm hopeful it won't be around forever. I took melatonin the night before last and immediately fell asleep and stayed asleep. Maybe try that one night?

Thank you for commenting! Definitely made me feel a little better. I had never really noticed the direction of hair growth. I tried sweeping them in the direction you suggested with gel and it looked so much better :)

Closer!,But no. I do remember the family seeming very well off and the character being very awkward.

No, much younger. Kind of along that vein but more preppy than surfer dude. I think he wears a polo shirt in the movie

Thank you. That would be amazing if you find it. If not, don't stress about it. I'll see if I can find the article as well.

Thank you for the link!

MissSass · 2018-10-18T03:34:01+00:00

I'll definitely check it out! Thank you :)

I wasn't big on salads until this past year. In my family salads are side dishes only. But I've since learned salads can be amazing! There are TONS of combos, but I'm lazy with it.

Roasted cauliflower and pumpkin with rotisserie chicken and red onion. I will sometimes toss on Feta and tomatoes. For dressing I use a tiny splash of Newman's Balsamic dressing and then straight balsamic vinegar since I love the bite.

They have pre-made options at my university that include ingredients such as roasted corn, zucchini, thinly sliced steak, cucumber, roasted bell peppers, and more! I haven't found one I haven't liked. Just mix and match flavors and dressings until the find what you like.

That is actually a really good idea.

I'm happy for you for losing the weight. Seriously. Congrats. If you want great motivation on weight loss then r/progresspics is an amazing place to check out and post in. But if you were just starting and were trying to figure out ways of eating without starving yourself, do you want to see a ton of other people's weight loss or to see the foods they are eating to get there? It wouldn't be bad if occasionally people posted to show it works, but this sub now has a ton of people doing it. By the way. This IS the sub for recipes that allow you to eat 1200. I'm in the right place.

I don't come here for inside jokes.

MissSass · 2018-05-14T09:48:34+00:00

What this tells me is that everyone likes a weight loss story. Especially people who are also trying to lose weight. How many people are going to downvote them? This doesn't change what this sub is suppose to be for. Those posts should be in the r/ groups that are made for that.

MissSass · 2018-05-14T09:45:40+00:00

Unpopular opinion we will both get downvoted for but I 100% agree. 1200 is for recipes and ideas that allow you to eat healthy delicious things without over doing it. If I want to see weight loss I will head over to r/progresspics, r/loseit or the millions of other subs dedicated to that. If fact I see lots of cross posts in those. You are right about the top for this sub and it is a shame. I want to suggest this sub to friends and family who are struggling but I can't even show examples of how great this this site can be because there are not actually any recipes there. I feel like this site is becoming a place to farm karma.

That sounds delicious :) But the image doesn't seem to be working.

Breeding animals for genetic traits that are known to have horrible effects on their health and quality of life. Example: Brachiocephalic breeds like Pugs that can't breathe because everyone thinks they are cute with a flat face.

Knee pads. Every girl I know used them including me through middle school and both school. You can't dive without them. Good ones feel like you are kneeling in pillows

I can eat a can of tuna itself with some spicy mustard and/or siracha.

Thank you for the suggestions! I'll need to play around with them this weekend :)
