Awesome this makes sense, thanks for your help!

Ive never really paid attention but just looked...I am looking at 'total carbs' right? If so, I seem to be eating anywhere between 130 and 300g....MFP says my goal is 267 - 302g depending on the day, where do those numbers come from? They seem a little high after reading this thread. PS if you look at my diary, I have…

You look great! Can I ask how many calories you have been eating? I am similar weight to your start and want to get down to about where you are now.

I have been trying to work out what my issue is and after reading all this im thinking maybe it could be salad??? I am eating a salad now and bloating up...but is that normal orrrr? My salad has cos lettuce, red and green capsisum (which I think is your version of bell peppers) tomato, avo. I have no idea how to pinpoint…

Thanks for your help guys…I think I will try 1700-1800 on non work out days and 2000 on work out days and see how that goes. I really need to start weighing my food as at the moment I am only guessing. I am definitely keen to eat as much as possible!

HALP please ^^^^^^^ my question above. Need advice. So confused.

I checked scoobys online…according to that my BMR is 1645 and my TDEE 2262…so how many calories should I eat and should I eat my exercise calories back based on these numbers? I am 27 yrs old 178cm and 83kg…desk job, gym 3 times a week for 50 min with cardio and some weights.

Thanks for your help everyone!

Hi, thanks for the advise, so should I change to sedentary again? I did have it set as that but then in this thread someone suggested I change to lightly active?

Thanks joshdann, Another question for you lovely people.... MFP has me at 1690 a day which is pretty much my BMR. Im currently going to the gym for about 50 mins 3 times a week going 15 min cardio and about 30 min weights. I log my 15 mins of cardio, but the weights obviously don’t show up any calories burn on MFP so I…

MFP has me at 1690 a day which is pretty much my BMR. Im currently going to the gym for 50 mins 3 times a week going 15 min cardio and about 30 min weights. Do any of you lift weights? I log my 15 mins of cardio, but the weights obviously don’t show up any calories burn on MFP so I don’t even enter them. Do you think if I…

Hi again, thought it would best to post in this thread rather than be annoying and start a new one! What are peoples thoughts on protein shakes after a work out? Required or not really?

Thanks Sjenny, Sounds like you have done so well!! Congrats. Thanks for the input. I will definitely see how I am going in a months time and if its not working will change it up a little.

Thank you so much =D

I am in SA too =)

Wow, that sounds great. Thanks for the advice, I will stick to your suggestion of about 1661 - 1700 per day and see what happens, thanks so much!

Hi again, The number I get is 2275. But I don't really understand what that means?

Thanks Scott, I used an online BMR calculator and according to that my BMR is 1661. If I change to Lightly Active instead of Sedentary MFP gives me 1690 calories, does this sound like a better number?
