Breastfeeding calories?
I'm 9 weeks pp and 99kg, I'm pumping round the clock but I'm an undersupplier (~650ml per day). I gained a lot of weight with with my 3 year old but with this pregnancy I didn't gain anything. I'm actually 4kg less than my pre-pregnancy weight for this baby. I would like to get down to 70kg without wrecking what little…
Calorie confusion!
I’m trying to log this Pret muesli pot for breakfast, but the app gives *such* different calorie counts for the same thing and I’m paralyzed about which to choose. I know dieters tend to underestimate rather than overestimate calorie counts so I don’t want to fall into that trap. How do people cope with these discrepancies…
how do I and what happens if I reset my daily calories because 1200 seems to be too high for me.
I set my daily calorie count to 1200 but I'm having a hard time hitting this on a daily basis. I want to reset it to 1000/daily but 1) i don't know how to, and 2) does this change the numbers for the days I've completed so far? I started on Sept 1st and have lost 6lbs so far. Thanks for any info/advice! Rose
Is exercise added to the calorie goal?
I put in my information and, assuming its all correct as ill question the numbers separate from this question, I have a calorie goal of 1680. If i then do 45 mins of walking cardio at 3.5mph and I burn 240 calories. Does my calorie intake goal then go up to 1920? I do 45mins of this cardio 6 days a week... so essentially…

Hi! I'm trying to do the sustainable weight loss + creating a healthier lifestyle thing! I've done a ton of research on how to do this sustainably, but I'm 3 days in and whoops!

Hello
Hi everyone my name is Heather I'm new here and have started a 1300 calorie diet. Been doing well so far.
I wanna give up. I love eating, I don't like walking
Ugh, and the numbers game with my calories and macros is annoying. I'll admit in my previous routine sometimes I ate badly because I am a foodie. However in this new phase of losing weight (again) my eating is very healthy. I have minimal adjustments I have to make with regards to getting rid of unhealthy snacks or candy.…
Dazed and Confused on Caloric intake
Hello, My Fitness Pal recommends a calorie intake is 1700/day. I do Orange Theory every other day burning about 600 calories per session (according to their program). 1st question: Is the 1700 caloric intake a day already a calorie deficiency or just what I need to sustain. 2nd question: Why do I get a new set of calories…

How do Net Calories work?
Hii I'm new to the site and still getting a feel for how everything is calculated and set up, and though I've grasped the basics of the Net Calorie calculator, there's something I don't quite get. For example, my net calorie goal is 1,200. If my calculator ends up looking something like this; 0 (food) - 50 (exercise) = -50…
Why have I been given 3000 calories per day?
I just bought the annual subscription and entered my biometric data. I also specified that I want to lose 2 pounds per week The app is now saying I have a 3000 cal goal. I understand that means I can eat 3000 cal plus whatever I burn in exercise. This makes absolutely no sense, since my base metabolic rate is 2300 calories…

Am I in a deficit
Hi can someone help? If my maintenance calories is 1400 and I usually eat 1200 calories daily, but burn 200-300 daily, would I be in a deficit? (I know eating 1200 calories is seen as bad, but I am a short person and don’t usually get hungrier than that)
