Update... I took two days rest (5 mile leisure walks only) and upped my calories to 2200 a day. I'm not sure which of those helped me more but I already feel like a new man. I'm much more rested feeling and ran my fastest 5 mile run so far this morning after a good hour at the gym. Thanks a ton for your help everybody,…

Lol, I really like this piece of helpfull info... Smart or not I came in here just asking for help. On a brighter note the rest of your response was informative and noted. I bet you are a blast at parties

Makes perfect sense.

My exercise calories are tracked though my UA fitness Apps, Tracker, MapMyRide, etc via several different monitoring devises including Speed / Cadence but mostly Heart Rate with using my AU chest monitor and/or my New Apple Watch I bought myself for losing 10lbs(absolutely love this thing by the way). I'm an Op Manager of…

Just FYI to clear up any misunderstandings since I'm not well versed in this calorie monitoring lingo. Here are a couple snapshots of my Diary through out this week.

The consensus seems to be clear and runs in correlation with how I feel physically. I just kept telling myself that I'm just that out of shape and is what I'm going to have to deal with but that's likely not the case (for the most part anyway). I will switch to 1 lb a week weight loss goal and move forward with a minimum…

My age was posted earlier but I will post all my stats again so you can do the math. I'm 48, Male, 6'2" very recently 228lbs. (217) now. My max heart rate is only 172-ish. I have two different monitors, UA monitor on chest and my Apple Watch which are actually both fairly consistent of one another. I can hold my heart up…

Probably some of the best advice so far "listen to my body"... but I guess I'm just hesitant to trust it since I feel like I'm basically throwing It into shock. I guess I just need to be happy with 1lb a week if that's all it gives me. I'm just driven to lose 2 per week because I decided to sign up for "Tough Mudder" in…

All your comments are great by the way, and thank you for the quick responses. -Steve

Thats a 15 mile half road/trail ride, intensity is fairly standard for about 10 days straight up until last few as it's slowly tapering off, Today being 60% I'm sore every day but have been able to push through it. I like the idea of eating 50% of my workout cals... lord knows I'm starving

I'm already experiencing the sluggishness and trying to push through it. This was one of the reasons I feel like I'm malnourished. I think my cal burn is fairly accurate, using heart rate monitors, along with speed/cadence on the bike and probably push my self harder than I should with an 85-97% averaging heart rate for 1…

Thanks, I'm tracking everything in MFP... So you say I should stick with 1700 calories a day intake (suggesting by MFP) even though I'm burning 1000+ on top of it? MFP says I always have a deficit of 1000 or more each day and just wasn't sure if it was suggesting I consume those as well or if the app was simply showing me…
