  • I did weight training on weight machines today.
  • okay - here's what I've decided to do... 170*3 = 510 calories. for 90 g of protein Eat whatever remains ... 690 calories
  • I guess I could go up to 1300 calories and eat 100 calories for exercise (I estimate I burn at least that many...)
  • Thanks a lot. I'm headed to a supplement store today and I'm going to try to get that 112 grams in as best possible. I'm a vegetarian so my options otherwise are limited to grains, whole wheat pasta, and Morningstar/Boca burgers. Protein powder hopefully should boost my intake. Won't it also stimulate further weight/…
  • I don't know if it's feasible for me to consume 112g of protein per day. Protein shakes offer 30 g per serving, but at 170 calories a scoop I'll be going over my calorie requirement!
  • I'm planning to do strength training 3-4 times a week with weights, and eat at least 60 g of protein daily. I don't want to turn into flab :( no matter how skinny.
  • I'm 155 lbs, 5 ft 5 in and hoping to lose weight to 141 lbs. MFP says I ought to eat 60 g of protein daily. The reason why I'm eating at 1200 calories is because I want to lose weight quicker than I have been. Also, I do not eat my exercise calories back because 1) to boost weightloss and 2) I don't have a good estimate of…
  • I can't afford a gym membership so my best bet is probably to learn some exercises to do with free weights and attempt to do them by my self for upper and lower body workouts
  • Does zumba sculpt & tone count ? Or resistance training in a workout video using a band ? Whichever videos are about "tone" / "firm" will count as strength training right ?
  • The 1300 calories was picked by MFP
  • I know.... I totally overate my first two days. I guess some food is double-counted because I became sick / threw up and then re-ate. My meds are morning and night, but to avoid throwing up , I take my nighttime meds as soon as I get home from work along with some food to keep it down
  • My workouts consist of videos mainly like : Zumba sculpt and tone Zumba cardio party Leslie Sansone's 4 fast miles Leslie Sansone''s 3 fast miles AM and PM yoga by Gaiam My food diary is also open now, by the way.
  • I want to lose 15 lbs.
  • I weigh 156 lbs and I'm 5 ft 5 in. My workouts are currently about an hour long but I stop at multiple points in between so I don't think I'm burning too many calories. Maybe 100-200 per workout. My diet is always so breakfast heavy that I tend to run out of calories by dinner time :(
