If you don't mind me asking, how many calories do you eat a day??? I'm worried with the amount of exercises I'm doing I'm going to lose amount lot.. but I'm tiny, 151cm and 44kgs and struggle to eat more than 1500 on the best of days.. I usually only manage around 1200

If I don't do weight training my running goes for a ball of !#%& I always get injured. Weight training keeps me in top form!

you guys aren't cool.. I'm not on these threads often, and have been going at my fitness goals on my own.... I didn't know how to word something "correctly" to people who I thought were friendly enough to have a discussion with me. Thanks everyone else for your input! I like the idea of putting it in your diary and…

You actually have a damn good point... at first I was like.. tuna for breakfast!?!?! But thinking about it... its a good filling portion, high in protein and 120 calories per tin! Added to the list! Thank you :)

Hi lyssa, Thanks for your feedback I really appreciate it! I'm pretty pedantic. I teach maths so numbers are my life lol. Everything gets measured and I won't usually eat pre cooked food as I'm not sure what's in it. I will only eat individual food if that makes sense, ie; fish. Vegetables. Potato. never curry as I'm…

Thanks guys... I actually do see a doctor with regards to my weight... I was 61 kgs last year but being 21 was drinking waaaaay too many cocktails. I quit drinking, started running and the weight fell off... people were worried because I looked really different. But in truth they were just used to me being a lot bigger and…

Thank you... I've been trying to add things such as nuts n avo n shakes during the week to increase caloric intake.. I teach usually 9 hours straight with no lunch break.. so its hard to find time to eat. But I'm trying hard.

I currently weigh 44kgs... I'm not trying to lose weight but maintain... I usually pick up about 5 lbs. Was just curious as to the science behind it.. Just seemed strange because I know 1500 is not a lot so seemed strange that I'd weigh more

Calories determined by a HRM are estimated using Norms of thousands of people and are far more accurate than mfp tables..... There is plenty more research into developing the norms to which hrms compare to than what you seem to be making out. In my opinion, and my biokineticist, there is hardly a mare accurate measure.…

Thanks for the advice guys ♡♡

Hi guys! Sorry this response is so delayed... Let me go into a bit more details. I am extremely short 4"11.. and I'm 23 years old. Lol (def not 16) I was overweight beginning of last year and then something traumatic happened in my life and I went into awful depression, that's when I lost so much weight. I'm not trying to…

I eat 1200 and burn 600.. I'm only 42kgs so not trying to lose but rather tone up.

Thanks guys... I don't really need to lose weight.. I'm only 42kgs.. I'm trying to build muscle... I kinda said to myself I'm gonna give it up for a month as of tomorrow just to test the theory

ALCOHOL ATHLETES OF THE WORD UNITE!!!

PHEWWWWW!! was hoping I wasn't gonna get a string of replies telling me to give it up.. I may have cried.. I def do track it on mfp

The most affordable, available and accurate (in terms of what I just mentioned) The callipers :)

1 tsp vanilla essence 1 scoop vanilla whey powder 1 frozen banana 1 cup of milk *tsp peanut butter (optional) Its AMAZING :)

I get what you are saying!! :) However, I still have a lot of fat in certain areas, so I'm not so much interested in getting the number to drop, more for the fat to disappear. lol! Wish i knew how to post a pic, would be easier to explain... any ideas??

Well :) It's the usn 12 week challenge, so you sign up and they support you etc.. I took on the 12 week challenge to motivate myself, i have started countless healthy sprees that have lasted a month and faded away. By doing the 12 week challenge, it ensures i stay 100% focussed for 12 weeks, i'm on my 7th week now and for…

Thanks a lot guys! Gonna def increase my intake!

I think you are right, I sometimes burn around 1000 calories a day! that basically leaves me with a net of 400! sometimes less. What I meant by not counting my calories was that I add them into mfp everyday, so i know how much i have eaten, but dont have a specific goal in mind, so if i'm hungry. I eat. :) Thanks for the…

bump

Need to try this! YUM

I don't believe in setting aside a specific day/rule regarding "cheating. I love eating clean and love what is does to my body. But say for eg we go to an italian restaurant on the weekend, I will order the napoletana instead of the alfredo, or the focaccia with avo instead of a cheesy pizza... I think of it as controlled…

I was approached at gym last week asking "How can I get calves like yours" I have built, well defined calves.. I used to dislike them, but have come to accept them.. they give me shape and happen to look killer in a pair of heels ;)

agreed. If I wanted an opinion, I'd ask for it!!!

Lol.... Hi, I'm Kirsten, I'm 20.. and I've been sober 4 weeks after being drunk every day in December (I'm not kidding haha, by the time new year arrived, I was sure I was gonna die!)

I've been tryna find this out all day :( There seems to be so many contartsing ideas??? Apparently things like oats that absorb water should be weighed raw, as for meats... i have no idea. If you find out, let me know???

You should google how to make complete protein combintions. I was vegan for several months, so i know a bit about it.. Plant proteins are "incomplete proteins" You need to mix them with certain other foods which makes them "complete" I googled it and got some pretty cool ideas :) Sorry if this makes no sense, its kinda…

Yeah, strong is the new skinny ;) You can't really lose fat from a specific area.. Your body decides where it wants to lose fat from, toning exercises just help define and when the fat goes that are will look good! Good luck!
