That's amazing! That's more on average than my 5kg after 24 days. It's easy to get the first kilo's off, but to push on the way you did is inspiring. Kudos!!!

1: You see your own goals as every-bodies goals. 2: Circle training builds muscle, functional strength and resistance.

There are o.c. also the BCAA and EAA to consider.

I have the Forerunner 630, what do you have?

Yes, you did, and I thank you for it. :) The question though was more about how to get the calories in MyFitnessPal, but even there you and Elisabeth have a good idea! I will calculate through Garmin, check through METS if its any good and then enter it as Cardiovascular. Thanks for the help!

It typically logs my sessions of about 1h 15m of intensive strength training (no pausing/resting between sets) as about 600 Calories.

There is a time frame as well. I believe you better munch your proteins (wherever they come from) within 30 minutes after training, for best effect. You can google that as well.

I'd love to read more about this if you can you link to the studies you're citing? Most of what you've said here sounds like little more than baseless bro-science so if you have legit sources to back this up I'd be very interested.[/quote] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3529694/ Just one example, but just…

There are different sorts of protein; some absorb faster than others. Whey protein digests quickly while casein digests slowly. In experiments, researchers have tried to determine whether fast digestion or slow digestion is better for protein synthesis and muscle building. The conclusion? Fast digestion is best for…
