I saw this video back in September 10, 2021. As in Today January 31, 2022. I’ve lost 40 pounds using a calorie deficit. This video literally helped me change my life. I know it sounds crazy but it’s effective. Follow your calorie deficit, and stay active. Go to the gym at least 5 times a week for 45 minutes to an hour, and you’ll see results. If I did it, you can do it.
It's a slow and steady way to lose weight. I was averaging a pound a week and am now half a pound a week, but I've dropped about 16 pounds and i walk 10,000 steps at least a day. No gym. Next will be weight training. But a calorie deficit and upping protein really is key.
When he said, “you don’t do it for 4 days and then eat 500 calories more and then say omg I fucked up and then quit and binge out for a whole weekend” I felt that. That’s me.
@@evie5025 not eating always the same amount of calories. For example: if you need to eat 2000 calories a day to lose fat, you'd need 14000 calories a week to lose fat. So, if you eat two days 3000 calories and five days 1600 calories, you'd be losing the same amount of weight.
I discovered this video in April of this year, when after losing 7.5 kg (16.4 pounds) being on a 2000 kcal deficit in the months prior, I stopped progressing altogether for about a month. I accurately tracked everything I ate, I went to do the gym 5x a week for resistance training and 5x a week 60 minutes of inclined walking (steady pace). No matter what I did, the scale would no longer budge. Sorry to say this because I know you hate this word, Jordan, but I was for lack of a better word.. plateauing. 😅Using the calculator in this video, I calculated my new kcal deficit to be 1719. This has been my new target since then, I have lost an additional 12 kg (26.5 pounds) between April and now. Similar to before, I strictly tracked everything I ate, and did not make changes to my workout schedule. The only thing I also added was to start formally tracking my walking steps (W.o.W. in an Excel sheet). I'm writing this comment to first of all thank Jordan for this method. At the time, I had been asking around for advise to several professionals and all of them were either giving illogical advice or were just guessing ("Just continue what you do right now", even though I had stalled for over a month). I had an inkling I had at outgrown the 2000 kcal deficit I had at the time (I never experienced even a little bit of hunger anymore, which was in hindsight the biggest giveaway that the supposed deficit was no longer a deficit) but no idea how/what to change. Secondly, I'm writing this for everyone who is watching this video now and is in doubt about if this actually works or not: Yes, it does. Well, for me it did. Hope this helps! 😃

I’m not trying to lose that much weight that fast. More like 1-1.5 lbs a week. So like 6lbs a month. I feel like the calorie amount he said is way too low and unhealthy and will sculpt your physique poorly.
Love your approach so much! I've lost 55lb in 6 months by my own but isn't in a good place mentally. And I fu*k up because I gave up and by chance I found you! Since I back in track and lost 10/lb more! Big thank you! You got a big impact in my mindset and my life. #sortinghatsquad
I have been struggling with my weight for years and this just made everything seem so simple that i feel like i can finally get myself to the body i have been dreaming of. Thank you! Amazing video!
I've been on a super low calorie deficit for a year now, and so far I've lost ⁷⁹ pounds. It's slow but it's working and having 110 pounds left I rather be patiently doing this then to fast and not making it. It's not always easy but worth itm thank you for your videos ♡ #sortinghatsquad
This is exactly what I chose as my GBW and used as my calorie budget and I got down to 150 slow and steady and no feelings of deprivation and the scale and I are homies now. You're awesome. #sortinghatsquad
@@alexiscdiazz I started Sep 16, I began seeing my goal weight regularly on the scale by Dec 15. I was working out 20-30 minutes of moderate effort 3-4 days per week.
@Toha Toha thank you I’ve hear a lot of personal trainers and people that never explained it better the you did. This all makes since go me. I’m going to try it.
I have PCOS, PCOD, endometriosis, underline hypothyroidism, and let me tell you loosing weight is next to impossible for me. I swear I’m doing this for 17 days (minus 3 days of Christmas) and have lost 4.43 pounds. You are a SAVIOUR Jordan.
Try fixing your hormone imbalance with inositol, berberine, and tri-Chromium as well as being at a calorie deficit. The weight will fly off! I have P.C.O.S too, weight loss is def possible for us!
You may want to try intermittent fasting (IF). There is a lot of research that shows that IF is very helpful for insulin resistance which is one of the reasons people with PCOS have such a difficult time losing weight.
I love how you didn't overcomplicate things here. I know it's a simplification, but people new to nutrition and fitness are often scared off by too much information.
I took some advice that closely correlates with this calorie level. I ate normally for 7 days and found my average calorie level and then cut calories by 20%. Ended up being close to the GBw x 12
Love the simplicity of this video, J. And although I was successful with my fatloss without counting anything, I am now at a stage where I want to lose a bit more fat and put on a bit more muscle so I decided to give the calorie and protein counting a go. Thank you for this and wish me luck! ♥
Obsessed with your videos! So much wonderful information. Thank you for making things simple. I tend to overthink the little things. This helps so much!
Exactly. Other calorie calculators would ask for your current weight. According to this I have been eating 500 calories under my goal weight calorie requirements 😂 its awesome to know I have a bit of flexibility
I did this equation for 2 months and lost 11 pounds ! I got 22 pounds to go :) thank you! I used to only 1200 calories before watching this and always gave up no wonder I was basically starving myself !
Straight forward and to the point. I’ve been killing myself with macros and deciding which calorie calculator is lying to me. Yours is in like with where I finally landed! Thank you SO much
Absolutely can't thank you enough, don't know if it's this vid, but the advice on platoues especially when working out the loosing weight during a rest is spot on. It's like there's so many hacks and charlatans about this subject but it simply comes down to energy in energy out. Top man.
So needed this video! Perfect to do a deficit check-in after doing a holiday maintenance for a few weeks. Because sometimes cookies are more important for my mental health than a deficit. Stoked to get back to it! #sortinghatsquad
This is my "GBW" And seeing the 1800 Calories is crazyyyy!!! 😳 However, I've been doing 1500 calories a day and I've already lost 10 lbs by following what you've said! (It's only been 1 year) I used to have a personal trainer and he was rough.. like he was really mean I liked him but he always pushed me wayyy too hard . And I can train hard but anyways I loved that you said if your "GBW Is 150 and you Get to 180 and you love the way your feel and perform that's great" I really like how you push enough but not too far!
Thank you for sharing this. There is so much info "out there" and it get confusing. This is so simple! Especially if you are just starting out with fitness and nutrition.
I've been dieting and exercising for 8 weeks now and have lost a lot of weight and gained muscle. This guy is SPOT ON. Put a lower # in for the goal body weight for real!!!
I always considered myself a hard gainer, but the reality was I had always had a lousy diet. As soon as I started following the Agoge diet, I started gaining muscle fast!
I love you, I love everything you’re about. My only problem here, is that my “calorie deficit” for my “goal body weight” is exorbitantly more than I’ve been eating. I’m concerned that’d still lead to weight gain, to just suddenly up my calories?
I heard of something called reverse dieting. Slowly increase your calorie intake day by day to get to that suggested number. Then you can always text the waters once you are there and see if your body still responds to weightloss
Giving this method a try! I have done many weight loss programs over the years, but I have never focused on the protein counting! Starting this morning and hope i keep it up during this pandemic!!! I don't have a whole lot to lose but I feel my 15 pounds to lose is important to me.
I’ve been undereating for two weeks, 1,200 calories because that’s what an app told me. I’m meant to be on about 1700 according to your video, no wonder I’ve been feeling like shit all day
This was pretty close to what I set myself at. According to this I should be at 1420 calories and I’m at 1200. Honestly it’s working tho I do need to get more protein in my diet. I just cut the processed food out and eat more veggies and lean cut meat. I don’t feel deprived. Apps are great for figuring out calories and most save your favorite meals.
Lilian Chase I Lilian, I strongly advise you against this. Please check your BMR first (this is the calories your body burns at rest) and never go below this number. You should be able to find the calculation on google. If your BMR happens to be below 1200 then you’re good to go, but I strongly doubt it will be
THANK YOU for making content like this! I am SO SO SO tired of people pushing their "golden recipe'' for losing weight fast.... I crave people like you who just sound normal with a head on their shoulder, not promoting any "magic tricks"... this is a rant and a message of gratefulness at the same time! haha
This video made me realize two things, 1) I was way off on my original calorie intake, 2) i didnt realize how little i was eating protein wise. This time im gonna make it from 260 down to 200. Cheers mate!
FORMULAS DONT WORK! Example.. 275lbs current.. 175lbs goal weight.. thats 2100 calories.. her maintenance is 3100.. 1000 deficit is INSANE! If your goal weight is more than 50 lbs away from your current weight.. thats when the formula begins to malfunction.
I’m going to start this tomorrow and get rid of fat because I’ve been working out since March I see changes but not major changes I need more so I’m going to do this
Recalculating my cal goals for the start of fat loss round two! 65 lbs down in the last year, 10-15 yet to go! Why is the last bit so hard??!! #sortinghatsquat
Eating 1800 calories scares the crap out of me. But Im eating so little trying to lose weight and I'm SO hungry. Gonna put my trust in you and give it 30 days!
I want to be on 120 lbs. But, I am setting my GBW on 140 for now. If it works as you said it will, I will be setting my goal to 130, until I get to 120. Crossing fingers!
I agree with you 100% that formula that you have is basically what I have been doing and I’ve lost a decent amount of weight in six months. The one suggested of times 12 is way too many calories
The longer video is great and was super helpful for me. It’s actually helped me keep my weight loss going and the holidays didn’t derail me. Wait, what?! A holiday didn’t derail me?! Not even missing a week of workouts derailed me! I keep my calories consistent to your calculator and still enjoyed the holidays and the yummies! Thanks dude! #sortinghatsquad
Thank you for this. How many pounds a week should you expect to lose with this calculation? Also, is this taking into account height and activity level?
Just to clarify, the product when you multipled your GBW to 10 or 12, is the total calories that you should take in a day for a certain period of time. Is that correct?
They do factor but his equation is just a different one I believe. And you recalculate yes but when etc depends on case by case basis. Generally if a plateau occurs is a common time but depends. What are you working towards??
I normally use different formulas for my clients but essentially he is right. You need to maintain a calorie deficit to be able to lose weight and if you are one of those who like to eat a little bit more during the weekend.. you can simply multiply the amount needed to lose weight by 7 , take 1000 kcal and divide them in 2 days of the week to make your diet easier. 2000 x 7 = 14000-1000 =13000÷7= 1857 monday to friday.. sat and sunday 2357kcal
I’m scared to follow this. It’s a wake up call. I have a past with an eating disorder. I’ll keep it as short as I can: last year I was 99 pounds (17 and 65 inches) and over the summer 2019 I gained to my healthy weight range(120-125) and then developed the binge purge subtype of anorexia. I began binging and purging through vomiting, laxatives, and diuretics. That summer I gained 40 pounds. I am currently 163 (same height and age) and my goal is 125 However Currently I am eating roughly 100-300 calories a day (that’s not a typo) and exercising 1-2 hours a day(burning between 700-900 calories). The calculator suggest I eat 1500 calories and it has been since August that I’ve eaten that much in a day. But I mean this week I lose 11 pounds in 6 days. I know it’s not sustainable and I do have a therapist and everything, but I just want to lose the weight. And I’m scared to eat more because I feel like I’ll gain a bunch of weight by doing this
I absolutely love your videos. I can see the passion for teaching people! That's amazing. I've been starting to think differently about food since following you and watching your videos. I've suffered with eating disorders before and I have a love/hate relationship with food so this is a big step for me. Thank you #sortinghatsquad
Great video! I like to set smaller weight goals for myself; right now my goal is to lose 5 pounds but ultimately my goal is to lose 20. With that being said, I imagine it’s okay to use the calculation for my -5lb goal weight rather that my -20 lb end weight, right?
I am 5’2 and maintain around 155lbs. My goal is 140. Another program I used said my calorie deficit should be 1437 per day, which I do. I’m pretty meticulous about tracking calories. I work out 3x per week and get 8-10k steps per dat and ride my bike a couple times per week. My scale won’t budge UNLESS I have an occasional restaurant meal which spikes me up 3lbs, then takes several weeks to bring back down. I eat 108g of protein per day. I’m concerned that I start eating 1680 calories per day, my weight will go up. I was 148 in size meds until last October and have been gaining ever since.
I loved your calculator. It is so simple. That is a scary lot amount of calories for me. I’m sure you’ve heard this before but why isn’t age and activity level part of the equation?
Short answer? They're honestly just details. If you calculate those out, you might drift 50-100 calories. That's within the margin of error in even tracking calories perfectly. Simple removes hurdles, making you more likely to use it and actually benefit! Sounds like a pretty good deal to me :)
That’s what I was looking for. The body weight number to calculate the calories never worked for me. I always ate way too much 😂 I’m down 60lbs now and still going strong, goal is 240lbs BW!
Hey you calculated like your deficit from goal body weight multiplied with 12. Then after how did you calculated your new maintenance?? If you ever got stuck please help
Great video. My dream weight would be 200 lbs 2400 calories seems a lot, I have been trying to get 200g of protein on a pescatarin diet but struggling.
quick question. 14 year old hear trying to loose some weight as i am overweight. i calculated my BMR as 2302 and TDEE as 3165 being in between likely active and moderately active. i would like to loose about 1.5-2lbs a week and it calculates to be 2165 a day to lose 2lbs a week. is this correct?
Thank you for this! I’ve lost 30lbs in the last six months, and my mentality around food has changed so much since I’ve started listening to you. You’re helping me change my life, one baby step at a time. Thank you for what you do. ♥️ #sortinghatsquad
hey i wanna ask how much calories did you consume and how did you burn all of it because burning 2000 calories it crazy and im wondering how all the people do it
there’s no way i can consistently eat 1500 calories everyday. that formula must be to lose 2lbs a week. I’ll stick to 1750 cals a day, losing .5 a week
hey:) i really resonate with a lot of what you are saying, it fascinates me that i am not the only one who is doing all this stuff and for that i wanted to thank you☺️ what i was wondering, is what you should do when you reach your "goal bodyweight" because losing and gaining i know very well but i never tried maintaining a weight, now that i almost reached my "goal body weight" i am a little bit scared, because i dont know how to maintin it, should i eat more than when i tried losing weight? should i make less sport? i really have no idea 😲 #sortinghatsquad
Thank you so much for this, I gained like 10lbs over this holidays cuz I've been eating like a dementor 💀 ... I'm so ready to do this! #sortinghatsquad
I can guarantee u it's all carbs salt and water weight with maybe a pound or two of actual fat a low carb low sodium diet will quickly allow u to lose the added weight and then lose even more once the actual fat comes off with the diet
Absolutely amazing video! I was concerned if 1400 calories was too low and i was starving myself, so i started eating 1500 calories a day. And i got stuck on 125 pounds (my goal is 114 pounds). Now i understand it perfectly. Guess i'm back to 1400 calories... thank you so much for explaining this.
Jordan, I have questions. My goal body weight is 130 lbs. So, I have to eat 130g of protein. And I’m a vegetarian who lives in India. (Low Availability and high cost of certain foods like Greek yogurt or tofu). I drink protein shake twice a day, 50g of protein, eat lentils etc at lunch and dinner (carbs>proteins or fats>proteins in most vegetarian food sources), regular yogurt (ratio of carbs:fats:proteins is almost equal). So all in all I end up with 70-80 g of protein per day. And about 140g carbs. And 60g fats. And by that time, I feel fairly stuffed. Fairly full. 2 questions: 1) how do I eat more protein when I’m full? 2) what do I even eat for it reach a 130g protein intake? Difference between 70g and 130g is huge. I hope you answer my questions. Not really sure if you are looking at comments anymore for a 5 month old video.
Get a vegan protein powder. Also try to find a place that sells *vital wheat gluten* so that you can make seitan (vegan meat) or you can order internationally. They're both really high in protein. Oh yeah, you can also find out how to make your own Tofu :)
The two people who disliked this don’t believe in a calorie deficit is what you need to lose weight. Damn muggles.
HAHAHA

I’m not trying to lose that much weight that fast. More like 1-1.5 lbs a week. So like 6lbs a month. I feel like the calorie amount he said is way too low and unhealthy and will sculpt your physique poorly.
That’s great!!!👍
Love your approach so much! I've lost 55lb in 6 months by my own but isn't in a good place mentally. And I fu*k up because I gave up and by chance I found you! Since I back in track and lost 10/lb more! Big thank you! You got a big impact in my mindset and my life. #sortinghatsquad
Wow. Lost that amount of lbs in 12 months and thought that was fast. Good job!
You literally made this so simple and easy to understand! Compared to other people trying to explain a calorie deficit. Love it!
I have been struggling with my weight for years and this just made everything seem so simple that i feel like i can finally get myself to the body i have been dreaming of. Thank you! Amazing video!
What are you working towards mate? :)
I've been on a super low calorie deficit for a year now, and so far I've lost ⁷⁹ pounds. It's slow but it's working and having 110 pounds left I rather be patiently doing this then to fast and not making it. It's not always easy but worth itm thank you for your videos ♡ #sortinghatsquad
What’s super low ?
fasting is healthy, if done properly.
How are you doing now Jennifer?
This is exactly what I chose as my GBW and used as my calorie budget and I got down to 150 slow and steady and no feelings of deprivation and the scale and I are homies now. You're awesome. #sortinghatsquad

@@CharlieD2012 Do you mind if I ask what your starting weight was?
You don’t know how essential this... binging on videos and have learned a lot but I was so confused as a total beginner . This is so helpful
Jordan tends to be one helpful dude haha. What are you working towards out of curiosity? :)
I have PCOS, PCOD, endometriosis, underline hypothyroidism, and let me tell you loosing weight is next to impossible for me. I swear I’m doing this for 17 days (minus 3 days of Christmas) and have lost 4.43 pounds. You are a SAVIOUR Jordan.
Try fixing your hormone imbalance with inositol, berberine, and tri-Chromium as well as being at a calorie deficit. The weight will fly off! I have P.C.O.S too, weight loss is def possible for us!
You may want to try intermittent fasting (IF). There is a lot of research that shows that IF is very helpful for insulin resistance which is one of the reasons people with PCOS have such a difficult time losing weight.
Did you ever end up losing more weight?
I love how you didn't overcomplicate things here. I know it's a simplification, but people new to nutrition and fitness are often scared off by too much information.
I took some advice that closely correlates with this calorie level. I ate normally for 7 days and found my average calorie level and then cut calories by 20%. Ended up being close to the GBw x 12
Not to self 140 lbs goal body weight times 12 =1680
140 times 1 =140 grams of protein per day
So😊 do we get to eat a total of 1680 calories or, in that we have to maintain a deficit?
Love the simplicity of this video, J. And although I was successful with my fatloss without counting anything, I am now at a stage where I want to lose a bit more fat and put on a bit more muscle so I decided to give the calorie and protein counting a go. Thank you for this and wish me luck! ♥
8-12 is a good number for weight loss. 13-15 is a range for maintenance calories.
omg that makes so much sense!!!!
Obsessed with your videos! So much wonderful information. Thank you for making things simple. I tend to overthink the little things. This helps so much!
It almost sounds like you're telling me to eat the way I would eat if I was my goal body weight, already. That makes amazing sense. Thanks.

Jordan, I LOVE that you made this short. I often stop watching long videos. Thanks!
I love long videos bc I listen to them while folding laundry or other chores
Can you eat less than the calculated calories to created a higher deficit?
This is my "GBW" And seeing the 1800 Calories is crazyyyy!!! 😳 However, I've been doing 1500 calories a day and I've already lost 10 lbs by following what you've said! (It's only been 1 year)
I used to have a personal trainer and he was rough.. like he was really mean I liked him but he always pushed me wayyy too hard . And I can train hard but anyways I loved that you said if your "GBW Is 150 and you Get to 180 and you love the way your feel and perform that's great"

Lil Uzi Squirt 1,800 would be the amount of calories you eat daily if your goal body weight is 150.
I always considered myself a hard gainer, but the reality was I had always had a lousy diet. As soon as I started following the Agoge diet, I started gaining muscle fast!
I love you, I love everything you’re about.
My only problem here, is that my “calorie deficit” for my “goal body weight” is exorbitantly more than I’ve been eating. I’m concerned that’d still lead to weight gain, to just suddenly up my calories?
Same here how do I eat 1560 when I have been eating 1200. I don't want to gain weight.
I heard of something called reverse dieting. Slowly increase your calorie intake day by day to get to that suggested number. Then you can always text the waters once you are there and see if your body still responds to weightloss
Giving this method a try! I have done many weight loss programs over the years, but I have never focused on the protein counting! Starting this morning and hope i keep it up during this pandemic!!! I don't have a whole lot to lose but I feel my 15 pounds to lose is important to me.
Hey :) are you also focussing on calories?
I love this condensed version as a refresher.
For the total calories based on GBW x 12, is that including exercise or can you consume more calories if working out?
Exactly

How do you count the calories though when eating? Like how do you know how much calorie is in a meal?

This was pretty close to what I set myself at. According to this I should be at 1420 calories and I’m at 1200. Honestly it’s working tho I do need to get more protein in my diet. I just cut the processed food out and eat more veggies and lean cut meat. I don’t feel deprived. Apps are great for figuring out calories and most save your favorite meals.
Omg we can eat more than 1100 calories?! Amazing.
Lilian Chase I Lilian, I strongly advise you against this. Please check your BMR first (this is the calories your body burns at rest) and never go below this number. You should be able to find the calculation on google. If your BMR happens to be below 1200 then you’re good to go, but I strongly doubt it will be

FORMULAS DONT WORK!
Example.. 275lbs current.. 175lbs goal weight.. thats 2100 calories.. her maintenance is 3100.. 1000 deficit is INSANE! If your goal weight is more than 50 lbs away from your current weight.. thats when the formula begins to malfunction.
I’m going to start this tomorrow and get rid of fat because I’ve been working out since March I see changes but not major changes I need more so I’m going to do this
If u don’t see major changes is because of what u eat in a day u need to change that little and u will see a big change

Eating 1800 calories scares the crap out of me. But Im eating so little trying to lose weight and I'm SO hungry. Gonna put my trust in you and give it 30 days!
How did it work? Did you lose strength or muscle mass? Did you feel weak during the process? Or did it all work perfectly fine?
Right! I used to eat 1500 calories and eat over 2000 calories on weekends
I want to be on 120 lbs. But, I am setting my GBW on 140 for now. If it works as you said it will, I will be setting my goal to 130, until I get to 120. Crossing fingers!
How long you been on this journey?
I'm 6' 1" ongoing goal weigh of 210-215, I have tried this formula GBW×12. I have never lost a pound. I've always had to do GBW×10-200 calories.
I agree with you 100% that formula that you have is basically what I have been doing and I’ve lost a decent amount of weight in six months. The one suggested of times 12 is way too many calories
If you want to make it even more simple multiply by nine
The longer video is great and was super helpful for me. It’s actually helped me keep my weight loss going and the holidays didn’t derail me. Wait, what?! A holiday didn’t derail me?! Not even missing a week of workouts derailed me! I keep my calories consistent to your calculator and still enjoyed the holidays and the yummies! Thanks dude! #sortinghatsquad
Thank you for this. How many pounds a week should you expect to lose with this calculation? Also, is this taking into account height and activity level?
Just to clarify, the product when you multipled your GBW to 10 or 12, is the total calories that you should take in a day for a certain period of time. Is that correct?
Yeah it is the required needed to maintain your health and your normal weight loss
So age, gender & activity level is not a factor? As weight loss progresses, do we recalculate the measure of calorie consumption? If so, how often?
They do factor but his equation is just a different one I believe. And you recalculate yes but when etc depends on case by case basis. Generally if a plateau occurs is a common time but depends. What are you working towards??
I normally use different formulas for my clients but essentially he is right. You need to maintain a calorie deficit to be able to lose weight and if you are one of those who like to eat a little bit more during the weekend.. you can simply multiply the amount needed to lose weight by 7 , take 1000 kcal and divide them in 2 days of the week to make your diet easier.
2000 x 7 = 14000-1000 =13000÷7= 1857 monday to friday.. sat and sunday 2357kcal
I’m scared to follow this. It’s a wake up call. I have a past with an eating disorder. I’ll keep it as short as I can: last year I was 99 pounds (17 and 65 inches) and over the summer 2019 I gained to my healthy weight range(120-125) and then developed the binge purge subtype of anorexia. I began binging and purging through vomiting, laxatives, and diuretics. That summer I gained 40 pounds. I am currently 163 (same height and age) and my goal is 125
However
Currently I am eating roughly 100-300 calories a day (that’s not a typo) and exercising 1-2 hours a day(burning between 700-900 calories). The calculator suggest I eat 1500 calories and it has been since August that I’ve eaten that much in a day. But I mean this week I lose 11 pounds in 6 days. I know it’s not sustainable and I do have a therapist and everything, but I just want to lose the weight. And I’m scared to eat more because I feel like I’ll gain a bunch of weight by doing this
How are you doing now?
@@jujujulie0 worse
The 1500 are actually way too low if you exercise that much. They would be the calories you're burning if you didn't do anything much that day.

Thank you so much sir the GOAL BODY WEIGHT concept is really helpful 😃
I absolutely love your videos. I can see the passion for teaching people! That's amazing. I've been starting to think differently about food since following you and watching your videos. I've suffered with eating disorders before and I have a love/hate relationship with food so this is a big step for me. Thank you #sortinghatsquad
Don’t mind me, im just binge watching all your videos. You’re making it simple and concise. Thankyou for that!
Great video! I like to set smaller weight goals for myself; right now my goal is to lose 5 pounds but ultimately my goal is to lose 20. With that being said, I imagine it’s okay to use the calculation for my -5lb goal weight rather that my -20 lb end weight, right?
I am 5’2 and maintain around 155lbs. My goal is 140. Another program I used said my calorie deficit should be 1437 per day, which I do. I’m pretty meticulous about tracking calories. I work out 3x per week and get 8-10k steps per dat and ride my bike a couple times per week. My scale won’t budge UNLESS I have an occasional restaurant meal which spikes me up 3lbs, then takes several weeks to bring back down. I eat 108g of protein per day. I’m concerned that I start eating 1680 calories per day, my weight will go up. I was 148 in size meds until last October and have been gaining ever since.
This by far is the BEST video for calorie & protein calculations, THANK YOU💯👍🏾
I loved your calculator. It is so simple. That is a scary lot amount of calories for me. I’m sure you’ve heard this before but why isn’t age and activity level part of the equation?
Short answer? They're honestly just details.
If you calculate those out, you might drift 50-100 calories. That's within the margin of error in even tracking calories perfectly.
Simple removes hurdles, making you more likely to use it and actually benefit! Sounds like a pretty good deal to me :)
That’s what I was looking for. The body weight number to calculate the calories never worked for me. I always ate way too much 😂
I’m down 60lbs now and still going strong, goal is 240lbs BW!

Jordan, I have questions. My goal body weight is 130 lbs. So, I have to eat 130g of protein. And I’m a vegetarian who lives in India. (Low Availability and high cost of certain foods like Greek yogurt or tofu). I drink protein shake twice a day, 50g of protein, eat lentils etc at lunch and dinner (carbs>proteins or fats>proteins in most vegetarian food sources), regular yogurt (ratio of carbs:fats:proteins is almost equal). So all in all I end up with 70-80 g of protein per day. And about 140g carbs. And 60g fats. And by that time, I feel fairly stuffed. Fairly full. 2 questions: 1) how do I eat more protein when I’m full? 2) what do I even eat for it reach a 130g protein intake? Difference between 70g and 130g is huge.
I hope you answer my questions. Not really sure if you are looking at comments anymore for a 5 month old video.
Get a vegan protein powder. Also try to find a place that sells *vital wheat gluten* so that you can make seitan (vegan meat) or you can order internationally. They're both really high in protein.
Oh yeah, you can also find out how to make your own Tofu :)
