[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm only 5'1 and 48 so it's very hard for me to lose weight once I gain it and my TDEE is comparatively low.

Here's how I'm successful:
- Track calories and macros in myfitness pal (free)
- wear a whoop device to track daily calorie expenditure, steps, sleep, and workouts
- monitor fat%, muscle%, and bone density on a home body comp scale (perhaps not completely accurate but good for tracking trends)
- eat >100 grams protein/day, 25ish grams fiber/day, 5 servings vegetables/day
- eat less calories than I burn, usually eating in the 1300-1400 calorie range when losing
- 10,000 steps a day, weight training 3-4 days a week, cardio/conditioning 2-3 days a week

I eat the same breakfast and a variation of the same lunch most weekdays. I have a few things I really like and don't care about eating on repeat. I really don't feel deprived at and there's nothing I restrict other than gluten (celiac), and I limit dairy and processed sugar (migraine triggers when I eat too much).

Three years ago I lost about 20 pounds using this method and have maintained that loss within a 5 pound range, adjusting my calorie intake and/or activity as needed to stay around 110-112 lbs. My life is so much easier now that all of this is automatic.

Can you tell me more about the whoop - I’ve looked into it but I already have a tracker that does sleep and steps.  How do you use the calorie expenditure - do you try to match your calorie intake to the expenditure and stop eating when you reach it?  Or am I misunderstanding what it can be used for?[/quote]
