    PercivalHackw,
    Working out for the last six months. Let me know if you have any more feedback (from above info, too).

    Sorry I skipped your first post.
    So you only have two shakers in the day and some snacking, is that it?
    What does your routine look like?

    Some sort of bar or steel cut oats when I wake up (6am), either run or swim, breakfast (eggs, chicken or turkey meat, whole wheat bagel) 8am, fruit/whey/yogurt shake (10am), lunch at noon, green smoothie (kale/fruit/fruit/whey) 2pm, then M/W/F StrongLifts at 5pm, usually a chicken-based/veggie dinner at 6, and then some snacks through 8pm if hungry or trying to round out macros (cheese, PB, nuts, depends on what I'm low on).

    I get most lots carbs through fruits and veggies. Quinoa usually gets added to dinners on the more intense workout days in the pool on running. I still haven't hit 2,900 MFP recommends on a regular day so I need to try to double up some meals. It'd be easy to hit that number with some junk food, though! :)

    Hmm, question on the activity level....assuming this is always the tricky one to interpret. Would you mind recommending a good level for me as well?

    Before Christmas, I know I would have been a 1.2.....if not less. After a 3 year snooze from regular gym workouts, I finally got a new gym membership with 24f. I was religious about going 5 days a week, and I've missed it, so I haven't yet and I don't see myself flaking out on my old routine. (It's a reprieve from work during the day). For now, my routine involves getting on the elliptical for 60min to burn 500 calories, keeping my heart rate between 150-180. In February, my husband and I will be incorporating a strength training program at home 3 days a week for 30min. (This will be in addition). What should I set as my level for Jan and should I increase it in Feb? 1.5?

    Sorry for the delay,I missed this one.
    Looks like your AL is around 1.3/ 1.35
    Use it as a base, and adjust if necessary in 4 or 6 weeks :)

    I have a question about the Weight loss Factor section. Mine is currently -0.49 and I was wondering if this is normal.

    "Mifflin-St Jeor
    (FOR WOMEN)" Your current weight diffrencence/ week (in kg) : (Slow but long-term diet : 0.45) -0.49

    Thanks!
    My current daily calorie before this sheet was 1490 (no exercise) and this sheet gives me 1527 cals (St Jeor), which one would be best to use on mfp? I know the difference is not much but I would like to know.

    Thanks!

    Hi, 0.04 won't make a major difference :) It's just a guideline so dieter can use this index to understand how far they are from their maintenance - the further you are, the harder it'll be to stick to the diet.
    Regarding your figures, 37 calories won't make a difference, at least we know your numbers were good in the first place. You keep this intake and you see if you are losing weight throughout the weeks - if not, you could either increase the volume of exercise, or simply reduce the intakes (slowly).
