Can you not just exercise more and eat more calories? I am currently new to MFP eating 1700 a day and will eat more on days I work out, sometimes I am struggling to eat all the cals I need too in a day, but have lost the weight I wanted too in the last 3 weeks. I want to lose a pound a week, if you lose slow it seems you…

Thanks : ) Ive been hiking now for a while, but never clocked my cals until now. I guess its just a case of listening to my body, makes sense as well to eat a bit more the night before and the day after

I really love breakfast... I tend to go with cereal now with skim milk during the week. However for a real energy burst I used to make my own muesli with oats, mixed seeds, cinnamon, then chop apple, banana, some natural yogurt and a small amount of natural sweetener called agave nectar.. really should start doing that…

Thanks so much guys.... so much great advise! I think 2lbs is too much to aim for, there is no rush and a pound a week is fine by me! I love hiking!!! Just uses so much damn energy ; ) I will make sure I eat more on hiking days
