I set my calorie goal manually and do all the math on the calories and macros I need. I have my activity level set for 2, which means I exercise 3 days a week (weight training). I don't eat back the calories for the weight training because it's already built into my calorie limit math. I also do a lot of commuting by…

Don't use the calorie limit that MFP sets you up with. In my experience it's way too low. You only want to go from 10% to 20% below your maintenance calories. If you eat as little as the default on MFP tells you to, you'll be eating far too little and it wil cause you to binge. Use this link to find your actual maintenance…

Not when lifting, but more in passing walking passed the cardio equipment towards the weights. I don't think so much as them being pissed these days, I realize more that they're just either in the zone, or getting in the zone. Back when I first started going to the gym though, yeah, that look kinda made me walk a large…

Strong women look great! But for what ever reason they always look p***ed off at the gyms I go to... I still say hi when I pass them, but rarely get a response. Maybe it's those angry looking strong women that give the rest a bad name. You know, like the stereotypical "meatheads" give any guy with a decent muscle build a…

Just about any exercise can be done with dumbbells that can be done with barbells. The exception are few, such as squats. But in place of squats you can do dumbbell dead lifts.

If you're fine with your weight but want to lose some fat you want to do what is a recomp. That's where you eat at maintenance and lift weights. This builds your muscle up and reduces your body fat. You'll look thinner and toner but have the same body weight.

They're both fine, whichever is easier for you. The key is in the Calorie Deficit. For rapid weight loss, go 20% under your maintenance calorie limit. For a less rapid weight loss that will not break down as much muscle, go on a 10% deficit. Extensive cardio is more for those who choose to create that deficit with burning…

I believe when you put in how many days you work out in a week it's already calculated in there so you shouldn't need to track that. The days exercise determines what activity level you're at. At least that's what it looks like when I compare my math with the myfitnesspal calculations.
