I'd give you a nickel, mate, but what with Brexit, the exchange rate's not what it used to be.

I'm going on what the Boditrax readout is telling me. I don't put too much stock in what it's telling me. A few Google searches suggest it can vary wildly. Visually, in the mirror, I think I look different. My arms certainly are becoming more vascular. If that is a thing! ;-)

Thanks for your tip. Sorry if I'm seeming a bit dense... could you give me an example using that formula, please?

Cool, thanks for that. Yeah, I became quite good at ignoring the hunger when I was dieting. I usually have breakfast, take the kids to school, go to the gym, go to office, have a fruit snack... It seems I need to push myself harder in the gym and eat more (and appropriately). It's funny because there are a lot of facts,…

Believe it or not, be and the digital kitchen scale are good friends! I always go from what's on the size of the box. For breakfast for example, usually Raisin Splitz. I weigh 50g into a bowl and add a splash of milk. And at lunch 2 x slices of Kingsmill, 90cals each. I weigh 10g of Clover Light and add a couple of slices…

Thanks for this, sardelsa. I have been maintaining, give or take a kg in either direction. I think you are right. I need to be more disciplined with recording what I'm eating.

Sorry, you are quite right! So many stats, facts and figures. I realise this info is important for your advice... I am a 35-year-old male. Currently, I weigh 82.3 kg and am 6'1" (185cm) So, in your opinion, I'm not pushing my muscles hard enough?

Thanks so much to everyone. With regards to what I'm eating, on a weekday it is fairly standard, I have become used to it, what with dieting for a while. Breakfast: cereal with milk, 200 cals Lunch: sandwich and crisps, 400 cals Dinner: Varies, around 800 cals Teas and coffees (white with 2): 50 cals x 4 Snacks: Bananas…

Thanks, both for your replies. Not logging anymore, no. I'm guessing I should be. Boditrax says my BMR is 1961. What should I be eating to gain, in your opinion? Thanks

Thanks for your input. I have updated the settings and I'll work to that. Fingers crossed! ;-)

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I use digital kitchen scales to weigh what I eat. I have just run the MFP guided goal setup again. It looks like the question that could be stumping the me is "How would you describe your normal daily activities?". I choose "Sedentary", because I work at a desk all day, and that is the example…
