  • Oh this is such good news! I checked what maintenance would be once I am at desired weight and it is totally enough. Just need to cut back for a few months :) Thank you guys!
  • Blankiefinder - You log 1 calorie for your strength training? Does this mean you get to eat one extra calorie on your day following? Also, what kind of things do you eat for breakfast and lunch that will only add to 300?
  • I train dominantly through a crossfit facility (4-5x/wk) so only one hour on those days, sometimes additional mountain biking or running. I definitely eat a lot, as far as MFP tells me (1600 - 2100 calories a day) I guess on non-exercise days I will just have to find a way to eat less.
