Body recomp calories
Hey, I really need help calculating my calories for a body recomp. I’m 5’3, 18, and would be doing 2x a week with weights exercises. I’m just not sure how many calories and protein I should be eating on rest days and workout days. Thanks!

Looking for friends and motivation to reach my goals :)
Hi :) I’m new to MFP, and am looking to lose weight. In previous attempts, I’ve lacked motivation and friends, and stopped after about a month or two.

Heard the gym community is lovely and as a novice beginner, having some tips SHES down upon me by some gym veterans on diet and excuse would be nothing less of a miracle. I hope to find some great friends in this community and learn a thing or two upon my fitness journey
Hi!! Gain weight/ muscle help!
So I recently got a fit bit and it tells me how many calories I burn during sleep. Should those be counted in order to help me achieve a calorie surplus?
Posting Posed Pictures on Social Media
A lot of fitness influencers will post pictures and videos showing off their amazing progress. I have nothing against this but then they will fail to show what their bodies look like in a natural light which can give some people the wrong idea of what working out can achieve. This is also not addressing how genetics play…
Hello all, Happy to be working out again
My name is Aaron. 47 years old, chasing a 3 year old around and working out hoping to improve energy and mental health, and maybe make it to see my son grow up without me having a heart attack.🤪
Different training phases? Neuro/Strength, Metabolic, Hypertrophy? Who can share their experience?
I am just starting to learn about different training phases. I have been lifting for about 2 years now and realize I have always been in the hypertrophy phase. I am just shifting to neuro/strength phase for the next 4 weeks, then back to hypertrophy for 4 weeks, then metabolic for 4-6 as I try to reverse diet/cut a bit and…
Automatically update sets, weight, reps values to the most recently submitted in the most used list
I always use the "Most used" list to add my strength training to the app, but the default values are always the first ones I put in. The values are set to what I first entered back when I started working out, when I didn't know what I was doing, so some of them have like 7 sets, which I always need to change to 4 now. (I…
Reigniting the passion
I've had a personal trainer since October and strength/endurance wise I'm the strongest I've ever been. I want to lose about 30 lbs. I lost 80 before. I'm 40 lbs up from that but my composition is a *lot* more muscle than I had when I lost the weight. I'm starting to really hunker down on my diet and mental clarity again…

Struggling horrendously with sleep lately.
I want to keep building muscle and I know how important sleep is for that. I've taken Trazadone and Melatonin. But I'm lucky if I get 3 to 5 hours of sleep, but I really want 7 to 10. I've always been a night owl, but it seems harder to go to and stay asleep that past month so far than I can ever recall it being. I might…
How do I view my history of routines?
It may sound like a stupid question, but I cannot find the history of the execution of the routines I made, for example, If I created a routine named "push day one #" and entered: bench 120kg 12 reps * 3 press 70kg 8 reps * 3 and so on... and the next day week, I log the same routine but with different numbers by using the…
