in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone,

So this is my third time trying to get healthy. This time I believe I have a better chance than ever because this time the dorm I live in at college actually has a kitchen in my room. I am excited to actually stick to it and make some more friends on here to keep me motivated. I love people who comment and I am always commenting on other peoples updates. Add me if you would like!

    Well for best results you could do tools from Fat to Fit Radio.
    Google it!
    The first tool to do is the Military body fat calculator.
    Its going to spit out a few numbers but ive had best results with it.
    The second tool is to use the BMR calories calculator.
    It gives actual calories per activity level.

    Once thats done you can set your MFP as a custom setting.
    Make protein a priority and set it to .60-1g per lean body pound.
    Make fats secondary and set it for .45-.60g per lean body pound.
    Carbs will make up the rest of your calories daily for fuel.
    Maximum fat loss without sacrificing lean mass should be about 1lb-1.5lb a week.

    So google Fat to Fit Radio Tools!

    I am starting over again and hoping to make it stick this time. Trying to set more realistic goals - smaller and easier to achieve so less guilt or remorse if I don't make them. Feel free to add me if you would like. Good luck on your journey!
