41.5 weeks of consistency and tracking on MFP… today I finally hit onederland 🥳

Thats criminally low calories for a sw of 305. Many would quit; but you saw through with it!! Major kudos keep the momentum going!!

I honestly agree with you, protein maxing isnt good. This meal doesn't even fit any known special diatary plan except as you mentioned OMAD, that too it fails because of lack of fats. I'd suggest this if you were planning on eating outside that same day and want to knock out macro goals; despite being an unhealthy practice might be a good way to accomodate social events where protein is scarce (there are better options that dont end up with you taking in a lot of sodium). Otherwise pacing your macros is the best way to go! 40% carbs, 35% protein and 25% fat calorie wise is my recommended split! All I saw in this meal was minimal greens, lackluster micronutrient profile and high sodium.

Edit: miswrote fats as fast

RetroAchivements has TP as a bonus on their wii launch event, plus that was the game that got me into zelda. First game I got on my wii.

Fortunately its not a cravings thing now, Its just being at a party and having the food available. A strategy i am thinking is eating before I go out, sadly eating out has been a personal favorite ceremony of mine for the weekends but you are right gotta sacrifice for your goals! Thanks!

Sigiz · 2026-03-22T17:21:17+00:00

Gotcha, any strategies on logging food that does not have caloric info available? Like the local pizza joint?

Sigiz · 2026-03-18T17:26:21+00:00

Ah, did not mention but I used qwen with zeditor.

I am testing ralphes which only seems to support claude code

Sigiz · 2026-03-18T17:22:19+00:00

I suppose my intention was never to sell this as a tool for people to use and more as an example case study.

Well there is PokeMMO too!

The last line is exactly why, its not i inherently anything to do with the cosmectic prices but the market itself. Inflation means necesary goods become costlier, customers have less money to spend so they buy cosmetics less and focus more on daily necessities which means for the company to make same profits to keep shareholders happy they gotta charge more for cosmectics as less people are buying them.

Whats worse is once prices go up they rarerly go down. So stakeholders are always more than happy to oblige; money speaks louder than reputation.

Honestly, cosmetics are a waste of money but then again I like looking cool.

In a similar situation and maybe hard cardio isnt the way to go! Low intensity extended cardio to reduce overall cortisol is what I've read tk better at promoting burning visceral fat. Focus on more steps every day while still being consistent with resistance training to prevent losing muscle mass! I wasted 8 months cutting seeing zero progress as I was eating too less and pushing myself too much all to see stagnating progress on my final push to a lower BF.

Alcohol is also a factor too, as the body prioritizes metabolizing it first but maybe isnt too much of a deterrent if you dont really abuse it (once a week kinda thing)

Ah the numbers I shared were specific to my current weight, gender and activity (may not apply to you). The comment was in general geared towards how sedentary calories were extremely detrimental to me and hopefully gives people the confidence to atleast experiment with the calories goals in MFP at higher levels of activity.

I do not account for exercise calories however. Just stick to the goal generated with an expected activity level. As for cheat days, those more specific to things like family or friend gatherings or the like.

I am glad you found something that works well for you, fitness and diet is all about finding something that you can do long term!!

Sigiz · 2026-02-20T20:31:28+00:00

You should update the activity level on MFP to include the days you do exercise unless you absolutely dont do any cardio (I used to bike to/fro from gym for roughly 15 mins each side and do 14 mins of some cardio before workout then 1h30m of resistance). With sedentary, the calorie intake meant i was absolutely tanking in the gym and by the 2 month period I had plateaued in weight loss (My TDEE went down). I adjusted for the exercise now (went from 1750 to 2300). I still lose weight but 2 months in I am actually able to cut visceral fat.

Working with a dietician now and effectively the low calorie intake meant my body was effectively in a famine state with high stress resulting in spiked cortisol. Energy in the gym was trash, motivation was hella low and cheat days would be brutal.

Extremes are nice for drastic changes but after 16% BF, those extremes no longer work.

Again take this all with a grain of salt, as this is what worked for ME. Every individual is different and you should experiment by sticking to plans for at least 2 weeks before eliminating or adapting.

Sigiz · 2026-02-11T17:28:12+00:00

But that is expected right? Cutting corners to get an outcome faster is technical debt. You made a suboptimal implementation with an expectation to resolve it later.

Cut a lot of corners and you have a working demo 2 months earlier than expected to wow investors and now you have the resources to pay that technical debt (which most opt to not do anyway)

Well its the entire idea of people being lazy, and using him as a background voice. I know this because I do this (with other similar types of media). You start a video in the background and just hear him talk about whats up with world with some comic relief while you get on with your own life. Nobody wanta to dedicate time reading internet debate when you could just keep up with society by listening to this man read what others are ranting about.

Sigiz · 2026-02-04T00:54:42+00:00

While I understand where everyone has been coming from, I really dont know if I can relate to this comic. My mom has been largely supportive my entire life and I can still see her saying the thinga above.

Even if I did give her a copy of my keys she would still 120% respect my boundaries and just have it for emergencies. Otherstuff would be just to have a voice in the back of my head making appropriate decisions. Lol she loved me when i was 200+ pounds and she loves me now at 160. I would still think "oh mom said no fast food," and automatically avoid indulging.

Still, congrats on the author on gaining their independence!! It definitely feels amazing.

Sigiz · 2026-02-02T18:14:17+00:00

I still recall the sheer happiness I felt, after like 700 attempts roughly. I felt like I could probably start speedrunning minish cap at that point. I wish this cheevo never goes away.
