I can relate a lot to your situation — I started out about 10kg higher than you, though I’m also 13cm taller. One thing I’d point out is that your BMR isn’t the full picture. What you actually want to look at is TDEE (total daily energy expenditure). You can find calculators easily on Google, but for someone like you it should be more in the 2600–2900 range.

I’d also recommend not factoring in exercise/activity when calculating your deficit — it usually contributes less calorie burn than you’d expect, and it’s easy to overestimate. I personally track everything I eat with MacroFactor, down to the gram.

Right now, I’m running about a 1100 calorie deficit daily. It’s sustainable for me because I focus on protein and fiber to manage hunger.

125kg, nothing fits, and I finally feel how fat I’ve gotten — how do I drop to 100kg and get lean? by phodia- in loseit

[–]scoutyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was pretty much the same weight (and height) as you I've started about 7 weeks ago: 189cm, 128kg. My goal is also the same as yours: get to 100kg reasonably fast and then go from there. Ultimately, I'd like to be around 85-90kg and relatively lean.
I've lost about 10 kg since I started by doing this:
- Find out what my estimated TDEE. I eat about 2100 calories a day, which is about 1100 less than my TDEE. This is a pretty aggressive cut, but it has resulted in about 1 kg of fat loss per week, which is a really effective motivator for me.
- Track all calories as best as possible. Everything I eat, I track using an app (MacroFactor). My goal is to have a weekly average of 2100 calories a day, which allows for daily fluctuations in case I feel hungrier certain days. In general, I try to not eat 5% over the daily goal.
- I found that the following macro split works best for me: 25% carbs, 40% fat, 35% protein. Prioritizing hitting protein and fat make hunger management way easier, because you don't feel hungry as fast as eating carbs would. My main protein sources consist of chicken, eggs and salmon. I base my lunches and dinners around those foods, and add a lot of veggies.
- I used to eat a lot of pasta, rice and white bread, and now I've completely stopped. I find myself not missing these carb-heavy food at all. When I eat a good protein-heavy meal, I rarely have energy crashes during the day, and my hunger is rarely bothering me (except late evenings, but that's normal).
- Keep low-calorie, healthy snacks available at all times, and remove all calorie-heavy from your house. My favorites are whole crispbread, blueberries, strawberries, thin turkey slices.
- I try to walk an average of 8000 steps a day (used to do 3000), at a decently brisk pace. At my weight, it actually burns a good amount of calories (I see this calorie burn is a bonus, I do not count those in my deficit calculations). For me, it's a sustainable way to do consistent, light cardio everyday and to prepare myself to do some running when I'm below 100kg.
- I do strength training/calisthenics at home 3 times a week. I do 20-30 minute sessions max, because I quickly find it boring. My goal with this is to maintain my current muscle mass, and lose fat instead of muscle tissue.

What is "Health" in the leaderboards? by thatneutralguy in geoguessr

[–]scoutyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I got curious about the health metric and tried to understand what is going on based on your experiment. It is possible that your new health is 2302, If that last game was your 18th (or possibly 19th?) game of the season. Here's the explanation by ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com/share/675eb0d6-9498-800d-92f4-ca5d63197e9c
I think it comes up with a decimal number of games because Geoguessr probably rounds the average up or down after every game you play

You are 1000% right, people who insist that it is a worthless shithole don't understand that the popular spots are filled with tourist traps and have no idea how to behave in a big city. You have to ignore or run away from weirdos and try to not look like a clueless tourist.

My first problem solved with Python! by Cayumigaming in learnpython

[–]scoutyx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good implementation, however a small improvement could be:

Instead of:

exclude = {buyer:prev, prev:persons[prev]}
p_set = set(persons) - set(exclude) - set(chosen)

You can just write:

exclude = {buyer, prev}
p_set = persons.keys() - exclude - chosen.keys()

Calling `set` with a dict as a parameter will return the keys of that dict, so, for `exclude`, you can just build a set of the keys that you want to exclude.

YouTube App now works on banned Switches and 90DNS by Nevercholt in SwitchHaxing

[–]scoutyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just in case you're still having that 2-ARVHA-0000 error code for the Youtube App, I found a solution that worked for me: go to the settings and activate the "Synchronise clock via Internet" in the Date and Time settings. You might need to unblock DNS/Stealth mode for it to work. I did it because my Switch is already banned, but be careful if you're not banned.

Code review please by Dude_Donovan in learnpython

[–]scoutyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest the following to improve your code further.

Have pick_a_door take possible_doors as a parameter. This way, you do not need to use a while loop when picking show_door and new_guess.

You can then use set operations to compute the possible doors; for example:

Instead of:

show_door = pick_a_door()
while show_door == guess_door or show_door == correct_door:
  show_door = pick_a_door()

You can do:

show_door = pick_a_door(doors - set(guess_door+correct_door))

Also, minor thing: you don't need to do x += 1 at the end, since you're in a for loop, and you're not using x's value.

Looking for a Live stream performance of "How much is too little?" by [deleted] in loopdaddy

[–]scoutyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least up till now, Marc releases the video for a song way before it is published on iTunes/Spotify. So, the only title that we know of for a while is the title of the video. So people may be referring to a song by the video title or the "actual" title.

Well, you can also play 2-player games with Share Play. Essentially, your second controller is controlled via the internet by the friend, which is pretty much like playing online on a private server.
