Seconding this! Also when it happens, I get an endless “Could not find this user” error at the bottom unless I close and reopen the app.
I’m a big fan of Calorie Counter by Lose It. It has a nice UI and a lot of bells and whistles (including barcode scanner) included in the free version. I actually pay for premium now because I like the app so much.
So my partner is also taller, fatter, and has more muscle mass. We’re both trying to lose weight, and she set her pace to be twice as fast as mine, but I believe she still eats ~500cal more than me per day. So yes, it sucks.
As a fellow shorty, I find it was such a game changer to add some weight training. I’ve only lost ~7lb so far, but my muscles have become significantly stronger and it allows me to up my daily intake bit by bit.
Also, if 1200 feels unsustainable, definitely give a smaller deficit a try. The best plan is the one you can do, not the one that gets you to the goal the fastest.
My understanding is that the anabolic window may or may not be a thing depending on the source, but with how digestion works, you can’t really line up the moment absorption with said window. I believe there are some studies out there showing that the timing of eating pre vs. post workout didn’t have a large impact on muscle gain as opposed to just making sure you’re getting enough calories and protein on a daily basis.
