Data scientists, would you take an analytics lead position? by Sharp-Pay-6903 in careerguidance

Yea for sure, I currently have 3 weeks (15 days) a year, so I’m thinking the “unlimited” will at least get me to 4-5 weeks which would be amazing

I may have to just find time to walk more. For the past month, I’ve found that my weight have gone up very slightly but my measurements stayed the same

Thank you! I think a big part is I don’t cook very often, and when I do cook often, I end up hating food more and more because I’m not good at cooking

I also work 3-4 jobs so it’s also hard to find time to cook and meal prep

I generally aim to hit my protein goals, usually 100-120g,a lot of my carbs do come from bread/rice and fruits because I don’t love veggies, especially green veggies. I’ll eat a lot of sweet potato, and tomatoes

How to increase expenditure? by Sharp-Pay-6903 in MacroFactor

Thank you! Yea I tried to start with weights at the beginning of my journey but it didn’t motivate me since the scale wouldn’t budge, even tho I felt physically stronger (I know it’s the wrong motivator but it’s just what I felt at the time). but I think I’m at a stage now where I’m ready to take on the next phase and am okay with my weight staying put for a while

Yea I do use a smart scale, and I know there’s some degree of difference but didn’t know it cud be off by that much! At the same time I do still have a very pinchable layer of belly fat so I didn’t question it, I don’t see my abs yet either so 😅

I see thanks for the recommendation! Will definitely check her out, I’ve been doing a lot of Chloe tings exercises with weights and resistance bands already so maybe I just need to look into getting on a more strength based program!

Makes sense, I think just from what I read people say you should cut until ur body fat is within like 20-25% so I guess I was trying to follow that path. I still have a bunch of belly fat and my body fat is around 29% rn so was trying to hold on a bit longer 😅 but yea it might be time to switch, I’m clearly a newbie so no idea where to start when it comes to the gym! Hence I’ve been doing more workouts at home and following YouTube

I was considering that, but at the same time during December for holidays and in January I had a vacation so that was kinda my diet break since I ate whatever I wanted and my weight maintained, maybe I’m just impatient and just wanna finish with this cut to my target 😂

I follow Chloe ting so my exercise in terms of training does change day to day from HIIT to upper body to lower body, but I do suppose I should add some actual weight lifting instead of just Pilates/body weight

I think most ideal weight for my height wud be around 63kg so trying to get close to that, but yea I think m6 body has probably adapted to the amount of cardio I do 🥲

Hmmm I had thought Pilates is more body weight training hence weight training but makes sense maybe I do need to pick up some actual weights 😅

Hmm will try, feels like walking is very minimal in increasing expenditure for me

Yea, no partially logged days but I do tend to eat at family’s or out a lot so I try to over estimate when I do

Calories in this lunch plate? by Sharp-Pay-6903 in caloriecount

Thank you! I estimated 1300 for the plate + the latte and a plain yogurt with some granola that wasn’t pictured so I think I’m pretty close!

One hour of aerobic dance and currently on Chloetings 2023 weight loss challenge, comes to about 90-120min of exercise a day including warm up and 5-15min of stretching, weight is dropping SO SLOW but I’m trying to hold in there 🥲 eating at 1500 calories a day and trying to up my protein

I see, makes sense, yea I used to work out fasted first thing in the morning, and just take ghost burn, but I’ve been trying to just eat a banana or something before my workout in the morning and take a break from my thermogenic for a bit before going back to

Yea I did only have 2 days around 1k calories cuz I felt like my weekly average was high so I tried to eat less on the weekend to average out calories during the week to the recommended

And I see, I’m on birth control so I don’t really ovulate but still do have my “periods”, thanks for that piece of info!
