that is indeed awesome, i'll try it!

Thank you so much you two! More cheese and granola and protein shakes for me :) (oh my god those shakes sound really cool)

i'm in recovery, i eat 2500-3000 calories a day. i used to consider that a binge (now i know better). i am in no way fat, in fact, i'm finding it difficult to gain more weight. bingeing in recovery is not bingeing, it's your body trying to get energy and nutrients that it needs

thanks! i'll ask my doctor

first of all, you're eating waaaay too little during the day! not to mention breakfast if very important! You're 'binging' because your body needs the food, in fact, it's a good thing that you're 'binging'. please don't think that you're a 'pig' or a 'glutton' for eating that amount, ideally, in recovery you should be…

a doctor telling a recovering anorexic to not eat more than a certain amount? utter *kitten*. A lot of gp's don't seem to know anything about what's best for those in recovery, recovering myself, my gp was content to let me eat 1200 calories a day for 'recovery'. if you're hungry, eat! listen to your body! your body needs…

in recovery, do not worry about how many calories you eat, no amount is 'too much'. in fact, it's super normal to 'binge', in fact, you should. when i decided to recover and started eating, i would feel ravenously hungry, and craved food on a full stomach, and ate a lot! but that was just my body trying to get me to eat…

haha, actually i've read that article before, but i think this time i'll pay it more heed, thank you

thank you, i'll keep up the weight lifting and stop trying to lose weight

i tried to eat 1200-1400 calories a day but that normally turned into 1500-1900, 6 weeks ago i started to weight train once a week, but before that i did practically no exercise and and at the moment, i'm 5lbs off the highest weight i've ever been

i have been lifting for 6 weeks, (and using heavy weights, to the point where i can't do another rep, focusing on negatives as well)

i just wanted to lower my body fat % to below 19%

i'm sorry anybody giving me advice did not know my weight and height until i mentioned it

honestly i think i may be regressing a little, but until you guys said it, i didn't view it as such (thinking i'm trying to be 'healthy') i'm going to try to re-evaluate my goals and focus on gaining muscle instead of losing weight, thank you

115lbs is a lot different than 100lbs

i was only looking to lose 4kg, not 8 kg

thank you, paperpudding, i'll set my goal to 0.5lbs a week. hehe sorry, i'm kind of new to this and i wasn't sure what kind of calorie deficit....method? to use

it's my TDEE, my BMR using mfp's calculator is 1,365 calories.

i used the TDEE calculator at http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/, and i've used other calculators, they all come up with a similar number. stats? um i'm 122-123lbs, 5'7, 21.7% body fat (using a hand-held measure-er thing.. not especially accurate but gives me some idea)

I'm 18, eating 1200-2000cal depending on the day...but i should be eating 1517cal a day, trying to lose 4kg of fat (down to 16% body fat), goal date is 31st of december (losing 0.3kg a week)

i'm 5'8 and do 700lbs on the leg press, never had any trouble

i'm 5'7, 119lbs, 34-26-38 my thighs are 21 i think i put on from 116lbs and it all went straight to my hips

i eat things like tofu and tempeh and vegetarian sausages, which have around 20g of protein per 100g or per serving (like two sausages for example) (sometimes a little bit less sometimes a little bit more depending on the product/brand)

i'm 5'7" and i have a small frame and not a lot of muscle. i'm 108lbs now, and my doctor says to aim for 132lbs although she settled on 121lbs

5'7 on the dot, 106lbs 31-24-35.5, 19.5" thighs I'm an xs for everything basically, i can do s's and xxs's depending on the store, size 2US (but i have hollister pants that are size 1 and forever 21 size 2 pants that are huuge on me) which is a size 6 australian. I can wear the kids section pants/skirts that are a size…

5'7 on the dot, 106lbs 31-24-35.5, 19.5" thighs Such a pear shape, everything goes to my lower abdomen, hips and thighs
