What is the app telling you? How many cals is that equaling? How much protein, carbs and fats?@GinaThatAintNoDamnPuppy!

yea i sense bs too but i still like this as a tracker, i would never keep count on paper so i like the help it does but im not dumb to believe any kind of prediction meter any app tells meI say BS
I would only trust it for tracking calories and macros
but got any tips? trying to get in the gym but a nikka been inactive for awhile. No strenuous exercise in a minute

If by tracking you mean what you eat yes that is what I meant.
Hard to say without much information but if you are waiting to get cleared by a doctor just focus on improving your eating habits which it sounds like you are doing.
Eventually some calories and macro counting will likely be needed but I would get comfortable eating "better" if that has been a challenge.

true true, eating bad has been a problem for me. im concentrating on understanding all the nutritional facts on back of labels and limiting potions and cutting all that bad shyt (same stuff u always hear)
but im a complete novice to the gym, i know the basics (joined and quit in the past) but never stuck with it but was immature back then. Got more to live for now and way more dedicated

This may not 'technically' be a good answer but I'm real big on the mental aspect of weight loss, so here is my advice:
fukk the gym, for at least a month. Going in there out of shape can actually de-motivate people. You go in and see these buff, in shape people and no matter how smart you try to be your ego will get in the way and you will either burn yourself out trying to keep up with them or want to give up after a month because you aren't seeing super fast results.
For people truly out of shape, I recommend getting your eating on point first and foremost, and starting out with a simple at-home workout every other day.
Go out and buy a 30 lb kettlebell or dumbell and do something simple like this
Jumping Jacks and dynamic stretching warm up (look up dynamic stretching)
Push Ups
Squats with your kettlebell
Bent over rows with your kettlebell or dumbell
Overhead shoulder press with your kettlebell or dumbell
Repeat those 4 exercises above for 3 sets. Finish it all off with kettlebell swings until you are exhausted (look up proper form for all these on youtube)
On your off days, do some cardio. Go on a 20 minute jog outside. You don't need to workout all day to see results if your eating is on point.
Once you start to feel like you are no longer
status, then consider joining a gym so you can further your workouts. There are resources all over the internet to help you out. Compound lifts + Cardio are what you are looking for for weight loss and strength.

Watch out for sugar primarily. Minimise sugar intake as much as possible and try and keep your sugar intake post-workout.
Aim to eat single-ingredient foods. E.g brocolli is brocolli, chicken is chicken. If it has more than one ingredient, chances are it's not a good option mate.

If it takes a second for you to pronounce the word in the ingredients, it probably isn't good
