Frosty- How do I set a goal then? BF%?? I wish MFP had other goals than just weight!

End of May, so 2 months away. Plenty of time.

That's what I started doing. I would wake up, brush my teeth, grab some water, and workout! Then, I would have chai tea (black tea steeped in almond milk) and an egg-based breakfast. Awesome high in protein breakfast: Ham and Egg cups! Line muffin tins with a slice of deli ham. Whisk together eggs (I would do 3 and split…

oh! I couldn't see your diary, needed a key (didn't know that feature existed!) You could try "drinking" some of your cals too. -Almond milk (amazzzzzing, I'm addicted to this) -Green Monster Protein Smoothies (almond milk, spinach, banana, 1 TB peanut butter, chocolate protein powder)-- it tastes amazing, and will come in…

Here are some foods your could try: -Avocados -Nuts (I like Emerald Cocoa Roasted Almonds) -Whole grain bread -Cheeses -Olive Oil If you had 2 handfuls of nuts a day, that will up your intake by ~300 cals Also, adding half an avocado to your salad each day will be easy and really help. I think that link mentions these two:…

Can you open your diary?

You're gaining muscle. Nothing to worry about. I did an intense cross-fit boot camp class, and gained 2 lbs at the end of it! Luckily, they had a scale that measured much more: I lost 4% BF I gained 6 lbs of muscle My BMR went up by nearly 500 cals a day My bone density increased etc,etc,etc Try getting to a gym or…

Hi Ziggy! Here are a few observations I made that might help you! -You should eat all your cals! I only scanned about 4 or 5 days, but you always come way under. Your body needs all those cals to survive. You don't want your body to think its starving. -You could try upping your water intake. I use a camelback bottle that…

I don't even have a lot of weight to lose, but I do have too high % of BF. Seeing the picture was a reality check for me that even though my scale number isn't high, that I still need to work hard and get in better shape. I'm really hoping that I'll have a kick *kitten* "after"!

Hey Iambeliever! I looked over your diary and I have a few notes: You need a protein-rich breakfast. Swap out toast for a scrambled eggs mixed with low-fat cheese and spinach on a wrap/pita. You need to be eating more veggies and fruits, I didn't see any for yesterday's! They are fiber and water-rich. Have baby carrots,…

You should make sure you're drinking tons of water! I have a 32 oz Camelback that I try to drink 3x a day (morning, afternoon, and night). I do not have a calorie intake that low, but when I was trying to stay around 1500 while doing a bootcamp class, I felt famished every day. I would try to give yourself a cheat meal…

I think you should try higher intensity workouts. Like circuit training (30-45 minutes) 3x a week. That would be non-stop (or at most 30 second breaks every 3 minutes or so) of pushups, weighted lunges, burpees, sprinting, weight work, stairs, etc . Also, do you workout in the AM or PM? Sometimes working out in the…

I would check your "Goals". To get their click on your "My Home" tab and then go to "Goals". You might have worked out more than your fitness goals, so you might have to set that higher. But basically, working out on MFP allows you to eat more calories. I don't track exercise on here, just my food intake. I had my BMR…
