Are you lifting heavy weights? I go up to 2000 some days when I'm lifting and the weight flies off.

I use hemp also and add half a banana to it, it does taste real bad!

I use natural hemp protein due to me cutting out cows milk.

I have been using protein shakes after every workout for the last few years, i use natural hemp protein, it tastes bad but due to me cutting our cows milks it is easily digested. I don't use it as a meal replacement just to help restore my muscles.

have a look at this link re: Water Intoxication : http://chemistry.about.com/cs/5/f/blwaterintox.htm Extract below: When too much water enters the body's cells, the tissues swell with the excess fluid. Your cells maintain a specific concentration gradient, so excess water outside the cells (the serum) draws sodium from…

Exactly what i though too!

I agree

I used to do everyday but got obsessed I think. The little extra lbs would get on my nerves lol

Yes I think you do, in the past I've been a few pounds heavier in the evening

Wholegrain rice cakes

I hit a plateau a few months back and i believe that was because i was not eating enough food. I was on 1200 also and now i have bumped it upto 1520 but on workout days i can go between 1850-1900 and i do this so my net calories dont drop below 1200 and it is working for me now. I am no expert and still not sure why this…

Ok thanks. Will definitely look into it.

Ok thanks. Will definitely look into it.

I posted a similar question today http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1020284-your-opinions-please-am-i-eating-enough Still trying to get my head around the TDEE. Mine says 1964 and I can't see how I can eat that a day especially on non workout days and still lose weight. :sad: confused!!

Ok so I looked into the tdde calculator and I work out that my tdde is 2456 I subtracted 20% which gives me 1964 so is that what my calorie net goal should be everyday? Or on workout days? I can't see how I will lose weight eating all this food lol

For sure! That's why I got into the state I did lol

Some days it just seems like I have not stopped eating but I will try for sure eating them all back. Thanks for your comments and links, will check them out. :happy:

Thank you

Thanks for that, I have no problem eating food so that sounds good.

Feel free to add me.

Do u mean bring my net to 1200 on all days or that I'm under eating on all days?

Really, undereating! Is that because my net for example 1 is less than 1200? So in your opinion am i best sticking to example 2 on workout days?

Welcome & happy logging :smile: request sent.

Thank you, i only started introducing weights in the last month or so to mix up my routine as i was at a stand still for a few weeks, the weights have helped me lot in changing my body shape but come next week i was worried that the scales may go up due to the increased calories on the workout days.

I am using a polar FT4. 5ft, 9ins and 182, my goal is 168. I believe example 1 was the day I done more leg work, squats and leg press, that always makes me burn calories i have noticed. 1-2lbs is ok with me but as I havent weighed myself this week, now doing it every two weeks as i didnt want to get to obsessed with the…

I use chocolate Muximusle High Protein Promax and it taste great with just water.
