Worksheet BMF
I was wondering why I need to change my height in BMF? My average burn is 2468, this is without exercising. I am getting myself back into the swing of things. (I am a mom of 6, five are boys 12 and under) Though yesterday when I added exercise my burn was 2454, to be fair, I wasn't doing all my normal activities either. (I…

SOOOO, recalculated TDEE and BMR due to loss... and...
So I just recalculated my TDEE, BMR, and daily calories due to a 10 pound loss since I first did it. According to it, I am supposed to now be eating close to 2000 calories per day to lose! I am currently set to 1750 as that is what I had prior to this recalculation. I was hitting that fine and obviously it was working. I…

Consistent Calories?
I have been using a fitbit linked to my fitness pal for the last month. I have not lost any weight, even though I have been eating under my TDEE. Should I be eating the same calorie amount regardless of my activity? I have been going on what my fitbit gives me which is anywhere between 1500-2000 calories depending on my…

First of all I'm not sure if I should do this or even how to do it. I tried to look under the search button but couldn't find the info on how and why to do one. If any of you know of a thread I should read please let me know. Should I do it before or after I reach my goal weight? The main reason I'm considering doing one…

Did spreadsheet but have a question
I'm confused about the macro percentages. It recommends 60 carb 20 fat and protein. For me I find eating more carbs just makes me hungrier while higher fat and protein keeps me full for hours. If I don't change to the 60 20 20 will it effect my weight loss?

So i just started upping my calories after going to a nutrionist and finding out my BMR was 1329. She put me on a meal plan of 1200 calories after eating only 800 calories a day minus the one day a week cheat day. After two weeks of eating at 1200 calories I gained.

Do I need to do a reset?
I need some guidance. I have had my caloric goal set to 1200 for the past year or so, but I would still go over this goal often. Then a couple of weeks ago I set my caloric goal to 1500. Now, as I am learning about eating more to lose more, I am interested to see if that works for me, so I bumped my caloric goal up to 1800…

Super generic subject I know, but I appreciate any insight you could provide me! I've posted here a few times in the past about my weight loss story.

Feeling Carbed OUT!
I am week 3 of my re-set. Coming from Low Carb not Low Cal. So I ate 2200-2800 cals a day, but 80% fat - 15% Protein and 5% carbs. I noticed when I cut carbs out, that my chronic neck, back and joint pains virtually went away. I am noticing since incorporating the 40% carb / 30% fat / 30% protein plan my aches are back.…
