Help me out. Since increasing my calories I have gained 5 pounds. I have a hard time eating alot of calories. I am doing insanity. I get the calories from a HRM. Can anyone offer any insite?? Usually I do walk or something in the evenings as well. But right now I am teaching a class and not getting home until about 930 or after. So I have to eat dinner have family time then off to bed to get up at 6 to do insanity to go to my full time job.

    My suggestion would be to change the settings on your diary to include your sodium. It looks to me like you might be getting too much salt. This would cause your body to retain water. You should try to keep it under 2500. Some people suggest under 2000. Also your protein looks a little low. You might try upping that a bit. Also how much water do you drink during the day? It's important to keep drinking water to keep flushing your system from working out. Hang in there! Good Luck!
