Experiment time

I have come to the realization that MFP had me waaaay under my BMR, saying that I should eat less than 1435 calories a day to lose 2 lbs a week. My BMR is 2030. So I decided to try an experiment: 5 days a week, on my exercise days, I will eat at least 2030 calories, and not pay any attention to how many calories I have "earned" from exercise. On my non-workout days, I will eat the 1400-ish calories, and have a day of sitting around doing nothing but my homework. I also have some Hydroxycut that I bought several months ago before I got serious about getting in shape that I will use per the label (2 pills 3x daily), and I will see if this plateau that I hit will finally break.

I'll keep you updated. I'll be doing this for at least 2 weeks.
