So it boils down to:
I eat 1400 cal/day
My basal metabolic rate is about 1346.2.
Leaves a surplus of around 54 calories.
I walk about 35 min/day. (85 cal burned)
I either exercise or do weights almost every day (65 cal)
= Deficit of 96 calories!!
Still gain fat on my middle. |
So, I've been reading the forums about macronutrients (mainly misconceptions) and what not for my thesis in my masters program. I've run into a few of your posts about sugar/fats/carbs...
At anyrate, Let's say your correct with your math and calculations... it would take you over 35 days to lose a pound... How do you know you are gaining fat around the middle? Are you taking measurements?
