Am I eating enough?
I’m hoping you all can help me. I’ve been eating around my calorie goal of 1280 for a couple of months now and losing fairly slowly and consistently.

Plasma donations
Anyone else here donate plasma? Do you adjust your calories for the day when you do? Enter it as exercise because of the extra calories burned while your body restores your plasma levels? Make no changes? I'd really like to know how different people address this.

Question about breasts
So here is an odd question, my breasts are usually on the side of hard and painful to the touch. Have been for years. Since I lost about 15lb they have completely changed to soft and squishy and not painful. Could the weight loss have some effect with hormonal cycles? I have missed a couple periods, but that isn't really…

BMR Insight

Intermittent fasting - 24 hours

Is this true?
“ only a slight deficit, then it will only make small differences. Your body only enters hard calorie burns if you instigate it with radical changes such as via ketosis”. Basically my friend is saying a small defcit is not enough if you want to lose body fat. Is this true?
