Has anyone else taken this gradually?
Hi. I've noticed everyone has taken the leap to eating their TDEE all at once. I was curious if their was anyone who has tried/had success of increasing their calories at a slower pace? Luckily, I have already lost all my weight (unfortunately the unhealthy way) and gotten to my desired body composition :) . The only issue…

I am about to go on holiday, but I have a question. I have been eating at cut for 2 weeks so far, obviously I want to enjoy my holiday so do I increase to eat at TDEE or try and stick with a cut?

PLATEAU - do I need a reset?
Okay - I took an inventory of my gross calories for the past 8 weeks. Here are my figures: I average 1638 per day, I average 376 in exercise. This leaves me a net of 1262 calories. There are days when I eat and drink more and days when I workout more and eat less. Is my metablism ruined? I haven't weighed below 156 pounds…

Bordem Eating...
Hey guys, I wanted to know how you cope with bordem eating? I am really good through the week at tracking and eating healthy but when it comes to weekend if I have no plans and just chill round the house after my workout I end up over eating and over eating on bad food. What do you guys recommend? Kels x

Fitbit question
Hello again, I am considering buying Fitbit so that I can get my TDEE accurately. However, I have read from amazon.com that it comes with the charger.

Inconsistency is the devil. The scale is its minion.
Summer sucks for me this year. I'm way too disorganized. When I started MFP it had me at that classic 1200 cal/day calculation. I only did that for a few weeks. I was losing weight, but working out was difficult. And I was hungry. Until I wasn't hungry anymore. Then just when I thought I could maintain that VLC level, I…

I want to give this a try, correct me?
I went on scoobysworkshop and this is what I got for my BMR, TDEE, and 15% cut: BMR: 1631 TDEE: 2243 15%: 1907 I've been eating at 1200 a day for a long time, so right now I've adjusted it so my net is 1440. What should I be netting a day, and do I need to eat back exorcise calories here?

What's more important?
Is it your calories comsumed or your macros? See here is my problem. I should eat 1800 cals. Yesterday for example I ate 1751. I exercised and burned 735 calories. That brings my NET calories to 1016. My BMR is about 1530. So technically I should eat more so that I'm not below my BMR but....if I do that then my macros are…

Someone set me straight, please.
Background: I tried reset for 2 weeks. I felt fine, honestly. I was a little bloated at first but my weight evened out pretty quick. I thought, I'll go to 15% cut. I just can't seem to stick to it. I'm hungry all the time and I end up eating way over. I'm not gaining, but I'm not losing either. I've been doing NROWL for…

NSV: Destroyed my last big run time
So last time I had an NSV it was about 3 weeks ago and was related to my running. Well today I had another NSV. I ran harder and faster and longer than I have in 12 years. I smashed my previous record. The ONLY way this was possible is thanks to EM2WL. The amount of energy I had to expend was crucial to my success as I…
