Update: I’ve chosen the True Nutrition Grass-fed organic protein powder and I must say.. this is the BEST protein I’ve ever tried. I bought a tub of plain unsweetened and a tub of the Chocolate Fudge Brownie (stevia sweetened). It mixes super easily! No weird aftertaste! And it is completely customizable. You can add…

Thanks for the input everyone. I have a variety of protein powders. One is an unflavored whey. It doesn’t have a great taste, but I use that in my baking and oatmeal. I’m looking for a protein powder that’s easy. I don’t have to add a ton of ingredients, but will still taste pretty good. I usually just mix milk and protein…

Hello! Feel free to add me! I’m from New York. I work as a therapeutic riding instructor. It can be a very active job half the time, but the other half is note taking and progress reports. Which means a lot of computer time. I am also a student. I try to stay as active as possible to keep fit and feeling strong! I have…

If you’re only option is at home training, you will need to get yourself some equipment. I suggest this book as a read. Will give you a weekly workout program. The exercises have adaptations that you can do at home as long as you have a little variety of weights and an exercise ball. I found this book a great resource for…

I suggest picking up a healthy trail mix with seeds, nuts, cranberries, and some dark chocolate bits. I’ve picked one up from Whole Foods called Sweet and Salty. It’s one of my favorites and fits into my macros well! Sometimes when you are craving chocolate, it can point to a magnesium deficiency. The trail mix will pack…

I’ve been doing 1-3 push-ups at time (though struggling) since the end of last year. It was really in the last few weeks that I’ve decided to change that. This month, I’ve been practicing push ups regularly. A few push-ups a day. I was doing 5 in a row consistently. Then this week, I hit multiple sets of 10 in a row.…

I’m starting a full body work lifting plan. Rows are definitely on the list. Push-ups and pull ups are just something I’ve always wanted to be better at!

Will definitely look up the app! Sounds like a fun motivation!

She is wonderful. I have been following her videos for a couple years now. I am currently doing her True 30 Day Challenge! It’s great! Been really pushing me to be consistent with my daily practice! I just completed day 12 today!

So with that formula, My resting is 1228. Times by 1.6 My daily burn on a nonactive day is about 1970 calories.

I wouldn’t use that as a calorie estimate unless you were running or walking all day. Calorie trackers are made to estimate caloric burn based off your HR in steady cardio. Best way to measure your caloric burn at rest is by a simple equation: 795+(7.18 x body weight in kg) This is the amount of calories your body would…

I really liked the Polar. I have the FT 7. It’s affordable, waterproof, and comes with a chest strap to accurately measure HR. I found the caloric burn to be close to accurate for steady cardio. Calorie trackers cannot accurately measure during lifting, as the heart rate spikes too quickly and stays elevated even when you…

These are the numbers I am getting for your height and weight. This is inputted at a desk job sedentary level. You are already at an ideal weight for your height. To lose at a slow and safer pace, eat between 1500-1600 calories instead. If you are under 18, then your calories should be at least 1800 for proper brain and…

With that calculation, your resting calories are about 1200. That is how many calories your body needs if you were in a coma and did not move at all. Now factor your lifestyle. Your job. Chores. Walking. That is all added calories, not even considering added exercise.

1lb a week is too rapid for your weight. Change your settings to .5 lb per week. When you are in the final 10lbs of weight loss, and ready to start adding muscle, you want to up your calories to spike your metabolism and maintain muscle. You will see huge changes in your body over the next couple months if you eat at a…

1200 calories is definitely not enough! I too do not have much to lose. I am set at 1500 and I eat back all calories from exercise. And I am still losing weight at a slow and steady pace. You want to preserve muscle tissue so your metabolism will go up. If you cut too drastically, you will lose your muscle. This app will…
