I understand that we should be eating back our exercise calories. However, I think that Malular brought a valid point so then what is the advantage/point exercising? Is it so that our metabolism speeds up? I guess my question is am I going to loose more weight by exercising and eating back the calories than not exercising…

I wasn't losing anything either eating little (1500 calories) than I increased my calorie intake to 2800 and now I'm losing. I eat my BMR +30% since I exercise 3-5 times per week. I try to NET at least my BMR. But I'm a pretty big guy 6'4 362 pounds now. Seems to be working. Only my second week tho but it got me unstuck.

Hello, vegetarian here. One day I'll hop over the vegan fence.

Oh my God I would pass out if I had 10 shots of anything, probably by the 4th shot. A bottle of wine or two for that matter is much healthier than 10 shots of vodka in my book.

Thank you very much for the info. I have changed the values in MFP. Now I need to think of ways to increase my calorie intake without multiplying my daily sodium intake which exceeds the 2500 already :)

Thanks for the help. Here are the stats as you request for calculation. Age : 38 yo Height : 6'3 Weight : 370 pounds Body Fat% 39.5 How often you work out = 5 times per week about 1 to 2 hours per day - anywhere between 1000-2000 calories burned per day Thanks again for your help.

Add me to the confused bunch. Is my calculations right? Current weight 370 Body fat = 39.5% BMR = 2569 + 20% = 3,082.8 I exercise 3 - 4 times per week burning about 1 to 2k calories per day. What do I do? Do I need to eat at least 3,000 calories per day? and what happens if I burn 1 to 2,000 calories per day? Also do I set…

Hi everyone I have been a vegetarian for almost my entire life. I never really liked meat, I think I tried chicken once when I was a kid, fish I never even tried couldn't get past the smell. Although I'm a vegetarian that doesn't like veggies too much. I only like lettuce, tomatoes and onions (once in a while), everything…

I would like to join as well.

I'm doing about 1 1/2 hours of bike riding. It gets tracked in my iPhone and it counts the calories that I burn. I guess because I'm 370 pounds I burn more :) about 10 miles per day of riding more or less. Both MFP and runkeeper say that I'm burning the same amount of calories, so I take they are right. I usually enter the…

I didn't know that I was suppose to eat the exercise calories. Although, I have been eating almost all of my allowed calories :) I have changed my diary setting to public.

Wow I can't believe that I forgot to mention that. I have been diagnosed with Herniated disc on my neck. So you're probably right the pain is probably from that. But it kind of makes it hard to exercise. I have to do it in short 5 minute sets. 5 min exercise then rest until pain goes away usually 5-10 minutes or so. Thanks…

any and all kind. I was playing a Just dance 3 game when it happened this afternoon. But the pain is the same where I walk or do push-ups. Seems related to how tired I am.
