Do not use any calculator to tell you your TDEE. Use it one time at the very beginning is about the most use you can get out of that sort of tool to just give you some number to start at that isn’t completely off base. The scale and you tracking your calories over time will tell you your TDEE. I...
Don't worry about what any online calculator tells you. The scale tells you if you are operating at maintenance or not. You need to eat less or move more. In your circumstance, and with most people, I'd definitely recommend to eat less as it's much easier on the body....
I’d focus on lowering your calories and losing weight. Mid 40s, haven’t been working out, at that weight you would need to be I dunno 6’6” or higher to be healthy. As we get older should focus on getting the scale down. Adding strength and not necessarily size/muscle are key to longevity along wi...
People often don’t hydrate enough in the morning. Drink at least 32oz of water, throw a pinch or 2 of salt in it for electrolytes. Easy thing to see if that helps ...

The absolute most important thing is to not have any of that junk in your house. Don’t buy it saying it will be a great at some point as a reward (you will just eat it) That is the mindset of someone who is on a diet. If you want lasting change you aren’t on a diet. You are changing the way you ...
Do not start anywhere near those old numbers. Will lead to you getting disappointed and possibly hurt. Just start much lower and go up slowly on the first days for each lift and/or muscle group. You should not be worried about "losing" a day or 2. It's not that serious...

Use a BMR calculator online. They don’t all give the exact same number of calories so use a few of them and take the average or mean to start out. Eat under that amount. Do not try and factor in how much you think you are burning with workouts to get under maintenance. Eat under the amount (few ...

You have to be in a calorie deficit to trim, lose weight, etc. It is much easier eat less calories as opposed to burning more calories to be in a deficit. You can eat 200-400 calories in the blink of an eye and burning off that much would require a lot of output. ...

Alcohol is a big offender for sure. The calories are dense, almost as dense as fat, and will fill you up the least because it's liquid (ie you will be hungry faster after consuming alcohol as opposed to other foods). 4 calories per gram of protein 4 calories per gram of carb 9 calories per gram...

There was one study that showed every reader they tested was roughly 30-40% off. Basically just ignore them. Their only relevance is subjective to the individual person. If every workout you normally see it say you burned ~300 calories and then one day it says you burned ~400 then you know you did m...

What others are saying. You are not burning anywhere near that many calories in the gym. All trackers are very inaccurate and always grossly over estimate. There are studies on this showing their inaccuracy. Eat the calories you are supposed to eat under your maintenance and consider working out...

I hear ya and maybe it’s just semantics, but saying it’s “difficult” to track at home might lead some new people to throw away the idea. The application is easy, but it takes more time than not doing it. However, doing it will reward the people who are coming to the health and fitness board look...

If you made the lasagna yourself you can calculate the total calories of each thing you added to the recipe and then divide by portion size. You don't need to guess anything if you made it yourself....

Your test is higher than most for your age. Kinda surprised you got prescribed much of anything. You don’t need it, but I’m sure someone will prescribe you more if you look hard enough...
Burning calories has 0 to do with the temperature. It’s about moving mass (weight) through a displacement. Your goal is not to lose water weight. People are trying to burn fat. You could argue different temperatures affect different people in different ways while they are working out. Mostly on...
Thanks for the suggestion. Picked up some Fortaleza...
