Teddy kgb Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 I’m doing a sober October and weight loss month.....lose 20lbs is goal....I want to meal prep for the entire month and eat almost all protein and fruit....I read a few articles on calorie counting but as usual I’m confused..... How can I know how much a single grape is?A cut piece of chicken or steak?Short celery with peanut butter?Hand full off granola? Shit like that? I’m not kissing everyone’s ass to get an answer but there are a ton of smart dudes here even Hammer has a gem once in a blue moon. Either that or you guys are dumb and I’m really dumb.....either way TIA Oh, I plan on doing daily vids of weigh ins and commentary the whole month to motivate anyone who might want to follow up with their own sober weight loss November lll try to follow thru with that but my track record isn’t so good I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy kgb Posted September 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 And on a side note how can I figure calories lost? Say I go on a bike ride?A walk?Hike? Is there apps for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chi_Archie Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 wife uses my fitness pal, she likes it. I have no clue how it works but you can count calories taken in and out if you want to be meticulous calorie counting seems like a waste of time unless you need long term precision but if you are looking to lose that kind of weight in 1 month. why even bother counting? it's not like you are trying to just hit a 500 calorie deficit for a long long time, where the difference between an ounce of chicken or 100 calories this way or that way is important you are going to be trying to have huge calorie deficits of like 1000-2000 per day ( I hope you are exercising a lot) so just stick to your planned allowable foods, cut out the booze, and exercise make it easy on yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy kgb Posted September 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Boat.....give me a negative calorie count where I can lose 20lbs in 30 days? -500? 1500 in2000 out Is that how it works? Do you have to be in the negative every day to lose weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeybagadonuts Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Use myfitness pal and get a food scale You need to figure out your BMR and then you can do the math around how many calorie use to consume to lose weight. You’ll need eat at around a 70k calorie deficit to lose 20lbs. Bol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy kgb Posted September 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Ok I got some good info here and a text from Boats ex GF I’ll get the app....I have 3 days to do it so that helps :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tailsyoulose Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 You ain't gonna lose 20 lbs in a month ted. Not possible. Only way to do that would be if you were a 400 pound fatty. Someone like you who is already lean can maybe lose 6-8lbs in a month. You may "lose" more but anything over that will be water weight that will come right back within a couple days of eating normally. Takes a 3500 cal deficit to lose 1 pound. If you shoot for a 1000 cal deficit per day (say eat 1500 and burn 2500) you will lose about 2 pounds a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brayden11 Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Lift weights to build lean muscle and cutout sugar and processed shit and you won’t need to be a Homosexual human being and count calories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasson621 Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Lift weights to build lean muscle and cutout sugar and processed shit and you won’t need to be a Homosexual human being and count calories. This just cut out white sugar/white flour/white rice and white potatoes eat pretty much anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Hoffa Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 I dropped 20 pounds without even trying by doing one simple thing. I bought a PlayStation 4 in February. So, instead of shoveling food into my face while watching TV, my hands are busy with the controller and no food intake occurs. Simple as that, no changes to diet or exercise.
