Basically restarted today? It was a struggle (mentally) but I managed to eat around 3300 calories today. Thank you to everyone who helped me! I am really excited to start this :smiley:

Thank you for all the advice everyone, I really appreciate it and I'm actually going to take it!

Thank you, I really appreciate this advice.

I am going to cut back on the protein, but I like your advice on doing it with healthier foods.

The machine has 2 pads, one that goes on the right wrist and one that goes on the right foot. I am interesting in knowing your thoughts on this. I am going to take this advice, to be honest I was feeling really crappy this weekend because I felt like I had no idea what I was doing.

I will take some of that advice and eat more, as every single person I have asked about on this subject is telling me the same thing (with the exception of the nutritionist). I will increase my calories but probably not in the sense of eating pizza and ice cream, more quality foods. Since you know your stuff, should I…

I do follow a program, one a friend (who's a certified personal trainer) wrote for me. I could lower my protein but to be honest with you I would struggle eating ice cream and pizza.

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow in which I am going to ask for blood work, it's the first time I have ever done blood work... will testosterone levels show in that?

According to IIFYM.com, my TDEE is 2661, but it says that my BMR is 1819. When I do the bio-impedance test it calculates my BMR which is higher. Now I am even more confused. I have been maintaining the weight for about 2 weeks (plus or minus a pound on the scale).
-
Would my maintenance be my BMR (Basal metabolic rate)? Also, I have cut down on the CrossFit style workouts as they were mostly conditioning focused. I have since started doing weight training, where I do 3-4 sets with reps of 12-15 (doing basic free weights with a focus on arms/chest/back/core/legs).

One part about adding the quinoa that I didn't add - I added it because on MFP it suggests eating more carbs, I was at about half of what it suggested so I added in the grain (where as before I seldom ate grains) just to get my carbs up. I believe my food journal is public, so if anyone wants to look feel free to.
