I used a polar hrm today, recorded my heartrate for 180 min, it was interesting. My avg. Rate was 138bpm. Using a calorie expendature estimator, i burned a net 2400ish calories. Mfp estimates put me at 2422. So its pretty much really close.:wink:

Thanks, i guess i'll try a hrm!

Haven't found a really good way to track calorie burn from lifting.... i'm sure i'm burning something, cause my muscles tell me about it the next day haha :)Thanks for the meal.

Nah, not pissed, kind of excited with reservation, just looking for reason, understanding, and adjustment if necessary. I use jetfit for my tracking lifting. I can post my regimen if you think it'll help with some insight. Since you lift regularly, what do you eat before and after? :)

Thanks for the info, I have mixed feelings about eating back my calories after workouts, I try to eat some back, sometimes. Basically if I feel hungry I do something about it. As far as preparing for a large calorie burn, i posted before, and got some great suggestions, however, specifically what's good to eat before and…

I usually do, I grab a few of those 2.5 gal water jugs from krogers, and buy a sleeve of solo cups, put the water in my fridge at work and have cold water whenever I wish!

I opened up my food diary thingy if you wanna see it perhaps to offer suggestions based on hard data, i track everything. except some lifting, kinda cumbersome to put weight reps and which...

Haha, you saw my profile pic.... well, i went down form 3 creamers and 3 sugar to 1 cream and 2 sugars, and i'm already WIRED haha anymore and i might run up a wall. :)

It would be really cool if there was a place that listed takeout places and quality menu choices for people trying to eat right. Thanks for suggestions thus far.

Thanks!

Perhaps ensure/high calorie drinks? lol

Oh, i guarantee i can eat, but i dont want to slip back into that way of doing it, i'm looking for the "right" way to do it :) And avacados are a great suggestion!

To chelsea: I'm eating tim hortons multi-grain flatbread ham and egg no cheese for breakfast with a coffee, for lunch a subway bmt pepperjack chz, lots of veggies and spicy mustard for lunch, and usually chicken, with mixed veggies for dinner, for a snack b4 workouts, i eat mixed nuts, about a cup or so, and a protein…

I'm getting approx 30-45 min cardio daily, except on sunday when i rollerskate during the hip hop session for about 3 hours, I'm actually on the floor roughly 1.5 hours total and resting, kinda interval-like, that's the biggest deficit, MFP says i burn about 1k calories during that session, and it feels like it :).
