Are you assuming that this 1648 should account for everything he's done from (for example) midnight to midnight? So eating 1648kcal would be exactly maintenance for that 24 hour period? My understanding is that he's saying that he calculated his exercise as being 1648, not including the rest of his calorie expenditure. I…

You gave an example of a typical day on MFP: The net value is the amount of calories that your body has left to maintain itself. For the average male, this value should be between 2000-3000 If you did no exercise, and ate 285 calories, in a day, then your net value would be 285. That's roughly equivalent to what you say…

This one of these situations where I think you just have to step back and look at what you're saying, to realise that something in your calculations/process is seriously off. You're saying that for a prolonged period, your body is sustaining itself on <300kcal per day. This wouldn't sustain a 4'5 sedentary female, never…

This is something that really irritates me as well. I have a Reebok exercise bike, and I used to enter the calories burned directly into MFP, but I'm really not confident about doing it this way, as I don't see how it could be accurate. It does actually have an HRM built into it (the pulse is taken from metal plates on the…

...Rocky loses at the end of the first film. ...just kidding, well done! Well I'm not kidding, he does lose. But he wins in subsequent films. I'm a couple of weeks into my own diet right now, and I feel really lucky that I've had no major thoughts of giving it all up yet. I hope I have your strength when (if?) they come…

You can try MapMyRun (http://www.mapmyrun.com/). I think if you register you can save your routes and make weekly programmes and stuff like that, but you can just use it straight away if you want.

I'm really new to all of this stuff, and my head's swirling with all the different pieces of advice you'll get from different sources, so I wouldn't even try to recommend things to eat that quell your appetite, at least until I've found something that works for me. But I have noticed that when I'm feeling a bit hungry, a…

Thanks so much for your help! Do you have any links or information on when and why I should start slowing down, and to what rate? @KarenECunningham: Yeah, it's when I have something from a cafe or something, and they don't provide any nutritional info that I've had to make rough estimates. The best thing is probably just…

Thanks for helping! I'm 5'9. I'm just finishing my University projects off, so I'm at the computer most of the day, and therefore sedentary, though as of Saturday I'll be back to lightly active. I work out 5-6 times a week, and have no medical conditions. My goal is 2lbs per week. I realised that I originally set my…

Oops, thanks for all the replies! I'm male, and I am eating my exercise calories generally. Although again, I'm a little conscious that when I play football and squash, I'm not estimating my caloric usage, but when I'm on the exercise bike, I enter what it says I've used directly, and then replace them. :) And I'm not…

Thanks for the reply! But nope, I remembered to convert to KGs. Otherwise it would've recommended over 6000 calories. :noway: Is this the type of formula that MFP uses? Or are there different scientific views on the subject?
