  • Hello and welcome. I try to stay around1700-1800 total cal. per day. Just remember the more you work out the more you get to eat. :)...I work out alot. I try to average 800 to 1000 cal burn in exercise each day. Sundays are my rest day and Saturdays are my free eating day. Good luck in your goals. :)

  • I workout Monday through Saturday for 1 hour and 15-30 min per day. I spend the first 30 min weight lifting and the last 45-60min doing cardio. I wear a heart rate monitor for all my workouts to log calories, heart rate and time. I think i'm getting addicted to it. I have not missed a day, sense November 8th.

    in Too much protein...but under my calories! Comment by mikedraper March 2011
  • Hello, I would agree with the other posts here, don't worry about too much protein. I'm working out 6 days a week for 1 1/2 each morning. I'm trying to eat 120g of protein each day. I am losing weight, about 2-3 pounds per week. My problem is I'm finding it hard to eat that much protein without going over my calorie/fat…
