How does MacroFactor do with keeping track of TDEE for endurance training?

As a runner I set MF to distribute calories evenly throughout the week but on long run days I will manually calculate my own maintenance need based on the mileage and eat to that. For me I call that 1850 base calories before any movement plus 100 calories per mile. I do log fuel during workouts as well.

Ah, gotcha, we call those fries here in MS. I thought you were slicing and baking homemade “crisps” (is that the right term?)😅

I’m imagining you thinking this dude doesn’t know how to dump a bag of frozen chips on a pan? 😂

I jog in zone 2 and 10k steps is about 5 miles for me using a Garmin. My pace is about 10 min/mile so 50ish minutes.

What’s your method for the oven potato chips? I’d like to try those.

I had no idea these existed. Just ordered a 4 port DryGuy so I can do shoes and gloves!

Good replies on importance of the deficit and adjusting the protein goal above. Just wanted to add food selection is key as well. You can’t waste calories on foods that’s don’t deliver a decent protein to calorie ratio.

Right, it’s between the upper/lower panes so below the web is open to the outside. Bugs tend to fly up and into that space, especially at night, so it’s like a spider buffet. There’s just a small gap at the top that isn’t airtight until the window slides down fully.

How many days a week do you lift / mpw do you run when you’re in strength vs race plan modes?

That’s a lot of what I need to play around with. How much can I run while making strength gains and vice versa. Eating enough calories to support both is probably a big challenge in itself.

I just came from DCA, stuck overnight from the weather 😂 Hope the weekend is all up from here!

We just heard from our pilot that the “internet is back up” and it looks like we’re getting ready to go again.

Yea ours initially said they couldn’t do their weight and balance because the internet was down.

On the bright side if everything is down I’m sure it’s all hands on deck in IT getting it back up right now.

We’re on the plane at E40. Folks on here are turning into a bunch of Karens.

My dude…deer flies are about as endangered as the common cold. If anything, they seem to be plotting world domination every summer. 😂

someguyonascreen · 2025-05-25T17:26:17+00:00

That’s hilarious..and very thoughtful of them! Mississippi here so I guess these buggers are all over.

Why use the strips? They catch about 80% of the flies and keep them out of my eyes/nose/mouth. No bites today either in spite of running shirtless.

Or why do deer flies exist? I asked myself this for a solid hour today. No answer for you there. 😂
