  • I'm 5'7" and 132lbs and I'm currently losing very slowly on 1200kcal. My maintenance is around 1450.

  • I think the issue is that most of MFP's exercise calorie estimates (and even estimates from HR monitors) can be way too big, so if you're eating back all of your exercise calories, you may be going over your target net calories for the day.

  • I do! Mainly to stop my little brothers from seeing things I'd rather they didn't, but also in case it falls into a stranger's hands. Definitely not to stop my SO from going on it though - he knows the code for practicality reasons (so he can use it if his isn't to hand etc) and I have nothing to hide from him!

  • Yeah, I know what electrolytes are, just not sure where I'd get them from! Like, are there any in lemon? That's why I mentioned that :tongue: But that's a good point - I didn't think about needing more of them. I'll google, thank you!

  • Most soya milk in shops is fortified though, with extra calcium to make the nutritional value closer to that of cows milk. I'm not entirely sure where to get UNfortified soya milk but it's out there!

  • For the past week, sodium has been: 1129, 766, 431, 1046, 1335, 1982, 2172. Plus a little extra each day for the things that MFP doesn't have sodium values for. I guess it has been higher the past few days...

  • I... don't really know. My water intake comes from tap water, bottled water, diluted sugar-free squash and water with lemon in.

  • They aren't there to make you feel bad - it's their job to make you feel BETTER :) You have another little life to look after now, you don't want to accidentally do anything to endanger them (eating too much or too little.) Be safe, see the dietician, especially if it's covered! They'll be able to give you more specific…

  • Not recently no - did the diet changes and activity-upping a couple of months ago. The dehydration feeling has coincided perfectly with the increase of water.

  • In short, yes, calcium does stop your body absorbing as much iron. But it doesn't stop the absorption completely. An important thing to note is that the iron in iron-fortified cereal isn't the same as the iron in your iron supplements. In fact, the iron in the cereal can be absorbed up to 4 times BETTER than the iron in…
