How to ACCURATELY calculate calories burned while working out!
We have all seen those cute “easy 100 calorie workout” posts. But sadly, those calories burned aren’t always accurate to what your weight it. A person who weighs 180 pounds is going to burn more calories than someone who weighs 135 pounds. So I’ve done the math behind how to get a perfect count
KEY THINGS TO REMEMBER
• Each workout has their own level of intensity which will therefore burn different amounts of calories
• To get an accurate count, each exercise must be done for a full minute without stopping.
HOW TO CALCULATE
• Each exercise below has a matching decimal
• Take the decimal associated with whatever exercise you did and multiply it by your current body weight
• That number will tell you how many calories you burned in one minute of that exercise
Squats~ .096
Push-ups~ .037
Crunches~ .022
Planking~ .022
Jumping jacks~ .037
Arm Circles~ .007
Mountain climbers~ .059
Lunges~ .059
Donkey/Back kicks~ .030
Walking~ .014
Running/sprinting~ .096
Stairs/ Stair climber~ .044
Weight Lifting~ .022
Box jumps~ .096
Burpees~ .059
EXAMPLE
For a 135 pound person- one minute of burpees will burn roughly 8 calories a minute
For a 180 pound person- one minute of burpees will burn roughly 11 calories a minute
I hope this helped any confusion of how to accurately count calories with out the use of a Fitbit, calorie tracker app, or just guessing. Happy exercising!

It turns out
You will lose weight if you eat at a caloric deficit. Period.
Basic laws of thermodynamics and the universe say in a closed system,
Energy in = energy out
Your body spends energy by existing -- breathing, walking, talking, getting up to go to the bathroom, chewing on your food, pumping blood to your organs. Every single action requires energy (calories)!
There's something called TDEE, or total daily energy expenditure. It's a calculation of how much energy it requires for you to function and stay at the same weight. Obviously, it matters what heigh and weight you are -- the taller and heavier you are, the more calories you require to simply exist. You can find TDEE calculators all over the internet simply by googling.
So for example:
5'4" female @140lb: 1668 calories
5'0" female @110lb: 1429 calories
What does this mean?
In order for you to lose weight, you just need to eat less than your TDEE.
This is basic physics. The laws of the universe do not change. If you eat less than TDEE, you will lose weight, no buts or ifs. If you "binge" eat 1600 calories, but your TDEE is 1660, you will not gain weight (permanently). It's just not possible (see my notes on water weight below if you have doubts).
1lb of fat is approximately 3500 calories of deficit. In other words, that's a 500 cal deficit per day, for one week, to lose one pound.
So if your TDEE is 1600, if you eat 1100 calories everyday, you lose one pound in a week.
"But I ate at 1000cal/day and I gained .5lb this morning!!!!"
Weight is so dependent on your sodium intake, hormonal levels, what food you've eaten that day that one single scale reading means NOTHING.
Here's a picture of the scale readings over the past two months for me.
See how it fluctuates like crazy? What's important is the general trend-- although one day I may "gain" 2lbs, one week later I'll be 3lbs below that "heavy" weight. I actually recommend stepping on the scale every day, at the same time. It helps move away from "omg I gained 3lbs!!!!" and let's you accurately identify if you are actually losing weight.
So for all you people who are stressed out about eating too much, just do some basic math. Chances are, you can eat a reasonable amount and LOSE WEIGHT. For me, if I try to eat 500cal a day, I do it for one day, then binge eat the next day and ruin my progress. One pound per week may seem slow, but consider how long you e hated your weight, compared to how quickly it'll drop off.
I've hated my weight for almost 8 years now, and in just two months I've dropped 1/3 of the weight I wanted to, while eating at 1200calories a day. In that context, 6 more months of this? Easy!
1200 calories: That's a lot of food! You can eat properly with that! For example one day:
Breakfast
Coffee with condensed milk (60)
Oatmeal (150)
2boiled eggs (140)
Lunch
1cup chicken teriyaki (150)
Broccoli (50)
4 lychees (100)
Dinner
One whole avocado (220)
2 slices of bread (180)
1/2 carton halo top (140)
In conclusion: you can eat a reasonable amount of food and still lose weight (faster than restricting, bc there's wayyy less binges). Your caloric intake will depend on your height and weight-- a 5'0 woman and a 5'6" woman should not be eating the same amount.
Good luck losing weight lovelies ❄️

these are some reasons why your weight might have spiked up overnight:
✔ you upped your sodium intake so now your body is holding onto water
✔ you ate more carbs than usual so now they are acting like sponges and holding onto water
✔ you exercised (especially strength training with weights) and now your muscles are repairing themselves to grow by holding onto more nutrients
✔ you ate later than usual the night before so the stomach is still digesting the food
✔ you weighted yourself earlier than usual so the stomach had less time to digest food
✔ you haven’t pooped yet
✔ your body is stressed (for example by eating too few calories) and so it’s holding onto water as a defense mechanism
these are not:
✖ you went over your limit by a few hundreds kcal
✖ you ate carbs/fats/fear foods
✖ you are a failure
✖ your ed/obsession/coping mechanism is not real or valid
give it another day or two and everything will be back to normal.
take a deep breath.
everything is fine.
i promise.
and if you are still not convinced there are so many people out here myself included that can reassure you again and again about it.

What hurts the most is looking in the mirror and knowing it could be different.
I could’ve started earlier
I could’ve eaten less yesterday
I could’ve walked away from that one binge
I could’ve said no to that meal
I could’ve drank water instead
maybe then I could feel hunger pains again over the pain of being a failure.
