/fat/ - Fatty General

For those wanting to lose weight, they should eat at BMR since BMR is a near exact science to calculate. It's also very generous if you aren't bulking and only eating when hungry with filling meals

I was also overweight as a kid too.
I've been large for a good portion of my life. I'm fortunate that I'm only at pre-diabetes.
I hope I can go back to normal and not worry about any complications. I've heard it is possible to get your body back to normoglycemia if you're pre-diabetic.
I'm dedicated to big lifestyle changes, I'm in it to win it.

I thought as much, don't know why i doubted myself. Thanks for the assist mate

What about eating under BMR?

I'm 5'10.5, 200lbs, BMR is supposedly 1900. I like to cut at 1500.

>1 salad 50

I'm finding this hard to believe unless it consists entirely of unseasoned lettuce or the portion is something like 2 tablespoons.

Unseasoned spinach actually.

I'll count it as 100kcal just in case

I'm not too sure, again, most of the shit i read said stay at the very least 1200, better to be 1500, and that one article saying men should be at 1800 minimum. If you've been cutting at 1500 and hitting your nutritional need, then you're probably fine, it's most likely that you've overestimated your activity level/ the calculations for your BMR is wrong.

But again, i'm not a professional, if you're completely unsure, seek medical advice at a GP, if you've done it for ages and you're not sick, perhaps you've just been given a wrong number?

It's so fucking good though. Could eat it every meal. If you eat for variety you are a slave to food.

is there any coming back from pre-diabetes? I dont have it but its a huge fear of mine

Am i the only one that buys clothing smaller than my actual size to motivate myself?
