I can't be imagining the awesome muscles I see glaring back at me! where I was flat before I now have definition. I can now see my triceps whereas before the 8 weeks they were hardly visable. my obliques are a lot bigger and my hamstrings have never been as profound as they have been now and it's only because of all the…

I use this app. Then it's not calculating correctly. It does the math for you, and it will tell me when I've reached my macro nutrients for the day or gone over them even but still show outstanding calories. doesn't make sense. maybe it's because it adds my exercise ontop but I'm barely managing to reach the deficit it has…

thank you. for some reason I did not see this comment. I understand what you are saying. I should be fueling my body more especially since I am weight training.

thank you for your own experience. You said you gained 3 pounds in a month then dropped it by the end of the second month. As I said I started with a full body weight training regime just over 8 weeks ago. I have picked up 1.5kg (about 3 pounds)in that total time without dropping any weight or cm during this time unlike…

I don't see how it could be water retention for 5 solid weeks? Water retention fluctuates on a day to day basis. that means my measurements would of too but they went up and stayed up 5 weeks counting now. So how do I know if it is muscle or fat? I can't even fit into my clothes anymore. Which is why I started calorie…

sorry I made a mistake. this MFP app put in 1230 calories then added my exercise for the day at 310 calories and is showing I have 292 calories to go but I've reached all my macro nutrients for the day. The thing is if you read my reply above, is that I'm eating no different to how I ate before. I always ate when I was…

I was interested to see what the change would do by counting calories. I went on holiday and picked up weight. not much but enough to make me feel uncomfortable. That is when I started weight training. But 4 weeks and no change in the scale or my measurements. in fact I went up another kg and picked up 5cm on each thigh…

I guess what I'm trying to find out is should i be following a calorie counting plan at all? I don't have "weight" per say to lose. It's not about the number on the scale anyway but about how you look and feel. I feel I look more toned and muscular but I also think I have some body fat to lose still. I have no idea what my…

I don't want to eat for the sake of filling calories especially If I'm not hungry. As it stands right now my app is telling me I have 500 calories to go but it is 8:30 pm here and I've had dinner earlier. There is no way I can eat that much still before bed. So should it matter as I've reached my target macro nutrients for…

yes. I am using two food Apps. This one and Shealth. If the food is not on, I look on the packaging OR Online for the calories and macro nutrients. I never guess. I do weigh my food with a digital scale too.
