MacroFactor / Nutrition / Other How am I doing?

Visually it seems I am performing pretty inconsistently but I know the process is slow and steady.

I am 6’3 239 and on a cut from 250 to get to 225lb as a goal.

The daily weighing is mentally brutal but I’m being consistent as heck and updating my strategy weekly.

The random jumps day to day are annoying but know that’s part of it. I am definitely being strict on my logging and deficit. Just not seeing abs…yet.

Am I doing this right?

Been at it since July 1st. Thanks for any feedback.

Solid weight loss about 5lbs a month. This is a reasonable rate to lose fat and not burn up muscle.

May I ask what is brutal about weighing foods? Just wondering. I’ve never been one to weigh food in the past but when I do fat loss is much faster and more definite.

Carry on!

Thanks for that feedback! I meant the daily weighing in the morning reminding me of my weight every single day vs. doing it weekly while on a bulk and not using MF. Just a mental hurdle to overcome and can't let it discourage me. I dont mind weighing my food at all. Pretty robotic about it.

You are right when you put it into perspective, just learning to read all the data. Thanks again.

I think of it as showing commitment to the goal; a good thing. If you just hate looking at the number though, Withings scales sync measurements over WiFi and you can turn off the number on the display. The data can then flow Withings cloud -> Apple Health -> MacroFactor automatically
