Thank you for your input. I'm going to up my caloric intake slowly. Something has to give and I think it's just this simple. I'm eating healthily, but undereating. Thanks again.

Hi, Well, I'm committed to taekwondo. I'm a jr. black belt working toward my black belt. I'm older, 46, and my stamina is not what it used to be. The classes exhaust me and the black test is tough. I was tired of being the weakest one in class. In just under two months, I've improved my stamina quite a bit and that has…

Hi, Thank you! My numbers are as follows: BMR is 1552.45, my TDEE is 2627, I do Insanity, which is 6 days per week. I also do taekwondo. I usually go 2-3 evenings per week. The classes are 60 minutes, but some of that is stretching and curriculum. I would say about 30 minutes of it are drills that would probably count as…

I'm going to try 1.900 and hope for the best. I'll be stuffed after eating 1,400 for the past month. Or maybe I just won't be so flippin' hungry. Thanks. It's worth a try. I just wanted to talk it out with people who were having success. I really don't want to pay for Weight Watchers again because I don't think it's…

It seems like this might be the answer to losing the weight, even though it seems counterintuitive. I'll give it a try. Thanks.

Several friends, who are very fit, keep telling me to eat more. I am so afraid of gaining, when I want to lose, that I find it hard to trust that I should be eating more than it seemed like I was eating when I was putting on weight. That doesn't seem right to me. I wasn't working out as hard. But I am burning far more than…

Hi, I calculated my BMR and then used the Harris Benedict formula. I used moderately active. I then deducted 1,000 (probably far too agressive to lose. I read that I could subtract between 500-1,000 for a deficit, not to go under 1200). But this can't be right. As much as I work out, I should be able to eat more and still…

I think you might be right. I should probably rethink this and recalculate it. Thank you.

Hi, I calculated 1399 and actually put it in myself. I always eat within 50 calories of that, and I think it's wrong. First, I'm starving. Second, I do Insanity every morning, except Sunday because it's a rest day. I do taekwondo several times per week. AND, I have two boys ages 10 and 5 with whom I play outside quite a…
