Anyone willing to friend, or permit diary viewing?
I'm hungrier since lifting, and hoping to find examples of filling diets with good macros. I think 1800-2000 would probably be a cut for me, at this point. (Goal -> conservative fat loss)
Mine's open, it's all over the place. (& I helped someone move today, so it's diner & pizzatastic). Averaging 2200-2400, with top end @ 2900 (weekends, I think; PBJs or cereals at night, bc of insomnia).
Thanks in advance!

I lift heavy and eat around that amount. Trying to lose a little fat and gain muscle right now, I'm not concerned about the scale. You can friend me, I'm not a perfect example but I try to eat whole foods and around120 g of protein per day.0

Awesome, thank you!! Really appreciate it0

Cheers!
Both you guys look great, btw!0 -
Eating 1900-2000 cal, started heavy lifting 2 1/2 months ago....
BTW ( Im real bad with logging everyday)
I still have fat to lose, but Im concentrating on building muscle0 -
Nice, thanks! l like your goal0

I eat about 1800 daily, usually a little more. I'm starting weight lifting. Would love to be friends!0

Yup - I'm with these ladies! Feel free to take a look and send FR if you think I can help!0

Feel free to request me and check out my diary...it's not perfect, but I do all right most days. I'm doing ChaLean, so I don't lift crazy heavy yet, but I will get there!0

2800 calories a day here. Maintaining 15.4% body fat0

More inspirational ladies, yay!
Really appreciate your generosity. I'm seeing some inspiring/yummy-sounding diaries (a lot more colourful than my own atm!).
Great if we can support each other0 -
You've got another new lifter here. Feel free to browse food and workouts. I'm good at logging daily. Feel free to FR me.0

I do around 2000 on rest days
but 2500 on the days I lift,
you can check out my rest days0 -
I eat a little more (2000-2300), but I'm trying to maintain. Feel free to friend me to see my diary, but it's pretty boring.0
-
Feel free to add me! I'm eating around that on lifting days. Just started eating that much because I finally figured out that I was burning alot more calories. I'm trying to stay at a 500 calorie deficit to continue to lose weight while maintaining muscle and increasing strength/balance.0

And leg presses on the Smith machine!! :bigsmile: :laugh:0 -
I eat anywhere from 1400-2400 a day.
Took a couple of weeks off from lifting, been eating "whatever" during that time, but break time is over.
Easing back into 1600-2200 a day and lifting 3-4X a week.0 -
I am looking to tone up and gain muscle, so any of you can friend me too. I need too figure out how to eat properly and maybe looking at logs will help.0
-
I'm doing beginner lifting.. I've been eating a little less than you, but am starting to increase as I increase my weight.
Does anyone know if I can adjust my diary to reflect the calories I'm aiming for instead of the ones assigned by MFP?0 -
Hi
I have just starting to weight lift and I'm only eating aroun 1400 cals a day, going by most of you guys I reckon that I might have to up them0
