Hey guys! Been at a 1,000 calorie defect for a year now. Ate around 1450 a day. Shed over 67 lbs. I am now looking to build some muscle.

What is everyone's thoughts on drinking perrier water in lieu of regular water? The label says it's 0 cals and the only thing wrong are a few mg of sodium, but I just don't know from a health stand point if the carbonation is bad for you or not?

Having trouble finding nutrition guidance.
I'm burning 1000 to 2000 calories a day through exercise. All the nutritional info I google tells me I should only lose 2 pounds a week.

Timing your eating habits?
I've been giving some thought to how, and when I eat. Do you think it really matters much with regard to our weight? What I mean is, I lived in Poland for a year and it seemed to me that their biggest meal was at lunch. It seems like breakfast and dinner was always a lot lighter. I also remember being surprised that for an…
