I tend to use sedentary, then eat back my calories when I walk/cycle.
That of course keeps me at my weight, if you want to burn more then set a goal (500 kcals less than maintance, whatever) and then eat back your calories from exercise.
After 3 months of cutting fat, I recommend finding your maintenance and staying there, then cut again. Constant fat loss, unless you are really mega lardy, is not needed and learning maintanance is also important.
As for the foods, eat your fruit/veg and get 1.3 grams protein per kg bodyweight as a minumum.
And cut down on alcohol, junk food, sweets but don't worry too much about details. Even the BBC is full of "eat this, not that" but in the end perfection can be the enemy of good.
Also great going! :)
I’m hovering around the weight I want to be when I started paying an interest in what is ate and portion sizes 9 months ago (lost a stone and a half). My question is, what sort of foods do I need to eat/avoid to lose body fat whilst keeping this weight?
Also, my fitness pal has given me a maintenance calorie goal. Should I eat back to the calories I burn while exercising to stay this weight but burn fat?
