sticky says eat 10x bodyweight in calories to lose weight
I'm 200 lbs and have been eating 2000 calories a day for three weeks and I haven't lost a pound, haven't gained any either, but still.
Is the sticky inaccurate? How much should I eat to lose weight? How much do /fit/ anons eat to cut? Should I cut back 100 calories? 200 calories? help pls
And yes I am counting my calories perfectly.
it really depends on your height, calculate your BMR and check if 2000 kcal is too high for you.
>eat 2000 calories
>weight self after two weeks
>weight stays same or goes up: lower calories
>repeat with lower calories
the only accurate way to calculate your TDEE is to experiment, everything else is anecdotal

Do you exercise?
2,000 calories a day is the standard maintainence rate for people who are desk jockeys and shit.

Do you lift? Do you do cardio? What's your day like?
Also, did she get fitter? I remember her body being really disappointing in GoT.

fuck she looks a lot like my ex-gf
sitcky is not wrong. if you haven't lost any weight, you're doing something wrong. are you doing lifting/cardio?
OP here, I'm 5'10 and I lift 3 days a week, I don't do cardio though except for 3 mile walk every day

Tell us how you lift exactly.
I see fuckers at the gym that don't know how to effectively lift and have a routine, and it's obvious they'll never get anywhere.

>how to effectively lift
As in technique?

Not exactly, but that IS important.
What I mean is don't be one of those guys that does the fly machine, the leg press, lat pull, sit up machine, calf press, in a retarded order like that...you'll get nothing of value done.

HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT
WAKE UP HUNGRY,GO TO SLEEP HUNGRY
LIFT WEIGHTS AND EAT IN BETWEEN
ANYBODY WHO TELLS U OTHERWISE IS LYING
it says to eat less than 10 times your weight in pounds
so eat less than 2000 calories a day
if you ate 1500 calories a day youd lose a pound a week
regular chicken is a good way to lose weight, low calories and good protein
also try taking vitamin d and fatty acids and working out your muscles while you can to help get rid of fat and creat muscle while losing weight

2000cl is too high. should be 1600
Pretty sure sticky says nothing about 10x your weight in calories. It does say to calculate your BMR and eat 500kcal under your TDEE.
I'm also pretty sure you're consuming over 2000kcal regardless
>>35186412
are you eating 2000 calories of fat and sugar or are you eating healthy foods?
Are you actually active enough to burn those 2000 calories (its an estimate) or do you lie motionless on the floor by the fridge all day?
