I want to make sure I'm on the right track. (A weightlifting/strength training question)
OK, I'll start with the basics; I'm 23, 5' 0", and currently 115 lbs. I was eating around 1200 to 1300 calories per day and exercising (mainly running, zumba, and yoga) 3 to 4 times a week.

According to the BMI I'm underweight. Only by about 5 pounds, so I'm not extremely underweight, and yet I look perfectly fine. Yes, I'm skinny, but you can't see my ribcage . I feel more energetic, I feel stronger (Cause I've been lifting more) and people tell me I look good. And I do eat (McDonald's is my happy place). So…

Ive been maintaining a 60lb loss since July (woot). Because of some crazy life drama I have had a few episodes of binge eating, and I typically restrict my calories to even out the week after a binge. ( I shoot for a weekly average of 12,000 calories) Last night I overate my day's allotment by about 1,000 calories. The…

Bulk and cut question
I've been lifting heavy and bulking for about two months, and I've seen some awesome muscle growth, but I'm also seeing some increase in fat as well. I understand the concept of bulking; that you need to eat more calories to fuel muscle growth. That part's easy. And I understand that with the weight gain, some of it is…

What do I do at day 1000...
Hi Today is day 911. I am aiming for day 1000, but I am not sure if I am gonna be able to stop! Logging has become part of my life now, and I still weigh almost everything as I know my portion control by eye is 'generous' even now. Is this necessarily a bad thing!!!

woops!
That is strange! I decided to maintain when I went from 61 to 59.7kg a bit too fast for my liking. I didn't linger there for a long time as I stopped with my pill, which gave me a bigger than normal waterweight gain. The moment I started with the pill again and the weight should have gone down I went on a weekend trip.…
