[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have a way to track calories burned? Try being on a few hundred under that and eat a lot of protein and start lifting weights and cut down on cardio.

I lift weights 5 days a week. I track via my watch. I got my macros from a trainer. They calculated my deficit for 1lb a week at 1450 calories. I’m eating 1200 but have lost about 1lb a week, so I’m only off by 3lb. Maybe I’ve gained muscle? My clothes are looser. I’m just remarking how swiftly my friend shed so many pounds! [/quote]

Perhaps they are making it up?

If you want to change your body composition, then you need to be lifting real weights. And it isn't going to happen overnight. Whatever your watch is reporting to you is probably wrong about energy expenditure anyways. About the only accurate thing I have ever seen for energy expenditure is a power meter on a bike, and not a peloton. A smart trainer or calibrated power meter or power pedals. Otherwise, its probably inaccurate. [/quote]
