Weight / Fat loss

Still want to loose more,

Have you tried a spanner ;-)

well, after complaining earlier in the week I seem to have got my body to start making progress, down about 1kg since Monday morning, so hopefully this will stick which will leave me heading into my next training block only 1kg from my target race weight. then hopefully i can push on in my next recovery week and then all I'm doing is training rather than trying to lose weight!

I've lost it. I can't be bothered with diet options all the bloody time. It sucks trying to get fuel in for training or recovery from training while also trying to shed. Fucking diets. Working late night doesn't help. I think I need to start taking Mondays off to get some sleep in rather than eating to have enough go for the next day. #meh #whinge #meh #htfu #fuckit #beer

Have you tried just using my fitness pal, I find it much easier than being on by diet, by which I mean, my portion control and ability to know when I've eaten enough, are both shocking.

I spent a little time trying to work out what my base metabolic rate is use that as my daily target and input calories burned on training.

Most of this year I've been making sure I end up equal on the day and I actually feel good doing this, the last two weeks I've been trying to end up about 200-300 down on the day, and it seems to be working..

I am using MFP but I don't have time to log stuff so I just ignore it now, then finally add stuff and realise I'm over.

It doesn't help that on some days I have 5000 calorie deficits and then workdays I'm running over by 1000 cals.

Oh and things like Rosebud beetroot are 4x the calories.. which idiot logged that?

silly question but i only discovered the bar code thing recently!

I also add what i know im eating that day in the morning, which helps me steer clear of that doughnut in the afternoon, as it would mean i would be over or i cant eat dinner!

I realise its hard but making an effort to not run that 5000 calorie defecit as i find it makes me want to eat all the things in the subsequent days...

To be fair this is always going to be shit.

New/ horrible diet for me:
Normal breakfast. (big porridge, 1 piece of toast, protein shake)
Lunch= homemade meal bar + fruit.
1 coffee.
Dinner= salad, fish/ chicken+ small carb selection (noodles, rice or sweet potato)
Potential snack- 1 piece of toast when get in from work.

Coupled with gym most days, abs circuit in morning, and a run or a ride, with a floating rest day.

I just finished 'lunch'. Today's going to be long.

I reckon I could take down the breakfast one.

Yeah, prefilling might help. Most of breakfast and snacks are the same each day, it's just that I've moved from lower cal lunches to my old favourites as well as ditching the extra miles I was doing on commutes so I'm struggling to keep under.

I can't avoid the large deficits on long rides - I'm already fueling at race levels - there's no scope for extra calories without being sick.

Whoops

*So *much toast though...

That Calzone!

I really want the 2 foot sausage roll.

This sounds familiar.

I don't have a solution. I've just given up logging stuff.

I think the pizza champs have found their next place...

Not saying eat more while riding, but what about before and afterwards?

obviously better before than afterwards, but even afterwards stops the constant chase of the hunger monster for the rest of the week.

I'm obviously not riding as far as you but i do get 100 miles followed by a 3-5mile run in on Saturdays.

But even then I struggle to see how you get a 5000 calorie defecit if you are eating before during and after riding?!

don't fat people burn more calories?

Yes. Hippy's a big fella, fat jokes aside, and he's going to need a good bit more fuel than some puny 71kg weakling - especially with his overall training load.

I once put the wrong weight (by only a couple of kg) into myfitnesspal and the number of calories it gave me as my daily allowance made me pass out on the bathroom floor after a run. Your size makes a big difference to how much you need.

Euph?

There is nothing biscuit spread doesn't go with.

I have been saying this for some time...

I've been having it on porridge. Recommended.
