I've gone from 199-157..& I guess I hit plateau mid January, I don't burn as much as I used to but still eat the same cals BUT...…

Netting my BMR (Not your normal question)
:tongue: Okay, so my BMR is 1490, my TDEE is 2025, and I eat 2225 (additional 200 calories to account for the nursing my toddler still does once a day). So, since I am still nursing, do I am to net 1490, or 1690 on my exercise days? I've been trying to hit 1690. Of course, it is generally not an issue unless I have a huge…

more than 1g/lb of protein = bad?
Please someone straighten me out here caz I think my brain is a little too fried for math. :noway: :flowerforyou: My protein goals are set for 30% of daily cals...but looking over the past couple weeks I noticed I'm getting 20-30 more grams per day (on avg) than I would be if I went for 1g/lb of body weight.

TDEE question
Since joining this group almost 7 weeks ago, I've been basing my TDEE on a number I got from one of the websites that was recommended. I recently went from a 20% cut to a 15% cut so eating roughly about 1800 calories per day. I got a BodyMedia Fit last week and I've been wearing it religiously for the last 8 days. I…

Binging and hunger
Hi everyone. I just recently "saw the light" of EM2LW and I love it. I have a question though. According to the Fat 2 Fit radio calculators, I should be eating around 2200 cal/day. I'm 23 years old, 5'6, 162 lbs with 32% BF and want to get down to 140 lbs or around 22% BF. I've been eating around 2000 for a little bigger…

At first I could barely eat enough.. now I am STARVING!
I upped my calories about two weeks ago. This Sunday I finally upped to 2100, maintenance is 2221. I wanted a little wiggle room just in case I didn't caluclate calories accurately or if a bite of ice cream accidently went into my mouth :0) At first I could barely get 1950 calories in the day (I had been at 1200 to 1400 if…

Can someone help me with Activity Level please?
Hi, I've been eating at maintenance (and perhaps beyond during my 2 weeks in Australia) since the beginning of April. Now I'm trying to determine what my activity level is, moderate or Light as I make my 15% cut. I've just been cleared post surgery and have started lifting last week. My goal is to lift 3-4 days a week (I…

Yet another confirmation of calories...
I am sure you are all thrilled about having yet another post asking you to confirm calorie goals, but I am have the mind set of "what's the point of doing it if you aren't going to do it right?" Just want to check my numbers and set myself up for success. The problem with me is...I obsess over things. So I am hoping this…

Trying to get this right...
Ok, so I want to give this a fair chance for at least a couple of months. I've slowly been upping my calories to get to where I need them. It has been a difficult for me to add the food because I've never been a big eater. I've pretty much reached the weight I am now due to calorie dense junk foods and lots of sodas. By…

Getting Enough Protein
Hey all, I'm trying to up my protein but having a hard time. I eat meat, but don't like to eat it every day. In search of other ways to get in more protein! I do make protein shakes sometimes, but again, I don't like having them every day, much less two or more times a day! Thanks!

How do you plan for a big eating day?
So I upped my calories about 3 weeks ago and I am trying to stay consistent each day with my 1900 calorie goal. It seams like there is always an event that I go to on the weekend and I end up going over my goal. I try and eat well throughout the day and save up my calories. What do you do when you go over your daily…

If you are a Canadian like me, and you are trying to keep those dreaded sodium levels down...you really should watch this.

I need help calculating how many calories I should consume
Hello everybody. I joined Mfp about a month ago, realizing that I needed to up my calorie intake (there were days where I would only consume 800-900 calories. Not good). Since I've joined I've been eating at least 1200 (sometimes a bit less, and often times more on days when I run) However, I don't think its enough, and…

So FRUSTRATED!
I started on MFP two weeks ago and have been faithfully logging... With absolutely no results. The only difference on the scale is that I'm fluctuating 2lbs below my avg rather than 2lbs above....
