    Not offended. I've been on both sides. At one point I had no appetite for whatever reason and was eating only 600 cals a day because I simply wasn't hungry. I unsafely got down to 108. Then I started P90X and obviously put on weight for a few reasons. I've been at it for over a year now. Even with P90X's formula, I wasn't getting enough calories. I joined MFP so I could actually get the right amount of calories for my work outs. In all my time with P90X I hadn't lost weight or inches. Now after almost 3 weeks with MFP, Ive lost 5 pounds and finally lost an inch. My base goal is set higher than my BMR. Like I said before, I eat back all exercise calories so I take in anywhere from 1850 to sometimes over 2000 calories a day. The difference is astonishing. The amount you need to eat each day depends on what you burn during work outs and such and as much as I love P90X , their formula doesn't account for that.

    I might also say that I LOVED the car part as one of my favorite shows is Top Gear =} I would also say I'd like to be the Bugatti and am now safely and effectively on my way.
