The "manor" example is one of the few points I've seen brought up in response, but it's far from clear-cut, as the forum posts linked above explain. Feel free to draw your own conclusions from them. I'm not convinced it was the best use of $15 million, but I also don't think that buying a medium-price-range conference center was an obviously bad idea, and the money came from private donors (not the standard EA...

Sure! None of the ways of donating that I know about (directly to the charities themselves, EA funds, others here) have a minimum amount or anything like that. Source: over 1 year ago
It’s easy to look for excuses not to give but donations can make a big difference, especially if targeted in the right places. See comments further down about Givewell and Effective Altruism. https://funds.effectivealtruism.org. Source: over 1 year ago

Good news: If you want to support global health and development but not animal welfare, you can just donate to the Global Health and Development Fund! None of the money will go to anti-factory farming charities.

I use loseit.com to track my cals and exercise works... Source: about 1 year ago
Follow that guide and that timing, and you'll be able to start putting some data around your diet. Start with your regular, normal food. My favorite tool for this is now-better LoseIt! Over MyFitnessPal which has been on the decline for years. Source: over 1 year ago
You can use a TDEE calculator to work out approximately how many calories your body is using per day. You need to eat in a deficit of around 15-20% of your TDEE to see decent weight loss. You can use an app like Lose It! To track your food intake and see how many calories you're eating.

At 1200 kCal/day you'll certainly lose weight, but it probably won't be safe... My older-but-similarly-sized spouse gets about 1600 (to lose weight) if she sits on the couch, so being active will certainly bump that up. We use an app called lose it to track both food and exercise and it seems to do a decent enough job for me and her. So your 1200 may be fine if you're a couch potato, but it sounds like you need...

I use LoseIt. I've used it since I started on phentermine back in 2007, so it has a lot of historical data for me. It has a good barcode scanner and remembers your most frequently added items so once you put in a meal, you can just click into that section when adding foods and it will have the full list of ingredients from meals there.
