Your TDEE Is A "Moving Target"

Instead, the 200 calorie difference was ENTIRELY accounted for by a reduction in the amount of physical activity that the participants were performing!

Here's the truth. As you diet, it's very likely that you will start to move around less during the day. This holds true - regardless of whether you realize it or not.

Also known as your resting metabolism. This is the energy that your body uses each day just to keep your organs working. On average, RMR accounts for around 60% of the calories you expend over the course of a day. Meaning? If you simply sat on a couch the entire day, you would still burn 60% of the calories you typically burn in a day.

2 (15-ounce) cans fire roasted tomatoes or use 4 cups chopped fresh tomatoes (1 3/4 pounds) 1/3 cup chopped white or sweet onion (half medium onion) 2 medium cloves garlic (2 teaspoons minced) 1 to 2 medium jalapeño or serrano peppers, with stems, membrane and seeds removed 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro 1 to 2 medium limes 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste

DirectionsPlace tomatoes into a colander set over a large bowl and allow to drain. Save drained juice to add back to salsa if it is too thick or save to add to soups or other dishes. Add chopped onion to a medium bowl and cover with cold water. Set aside for 10 minutes, drain, and then rinse. Add garlic to a blender or bowl of a food processor and pulse until chopped small. Scrape the sides, and then add the drained tomatoes, drained and rinsed onions, peppers, cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and the juice of half a lime. Pulse until your desired texture. Taste, and then season with additional salt or lime juice. (We typically add 3/4 teaspoon of salt).
