eating calories day before exercise
I'd love to hear from other runners/cyclists/fitness fanatics? I'm currently training for a marathon and the days that I'm 'resting' I'm supposed to eat 1200 calories. Very often thought the next morning I'm running anything from 10 - 18 miles and I'm absolutely weak with hunger from the day before! Does anyone else eat…

Suddenly lost interest in logging calories - Good or bad??
So I've actually really enjoyed my almost 2 months of logging calories. It has been interesting to really learn what is what, and being faced with inputting the calories has deterred me from making some bad decisions (like pizza - which every time I almost order, I look up the calories of just one slice, and I'm like…

Have your RMR tested!
I did and I'm so glad I did. RMR is your resting metabolic rate, and basically tells you what you burn sitting around doing nothing. I'm 37, 5.5", 131 lbs, and about 19.6% BF. My RMR came back at 1580 calories or about 1.1 calories/minute. That means the only time I should eat close to 1600 calories per day is if I'm…
