Thanks that was awesome to read. I appreciate your post.:wink:

I completely agree with this :) The best way. Even if you speak with a trainer, not saying everyone who is a trainer is great at nutrition, but sometimes you actually find one that is, they will tell you the same thing, however eat a little under the calories burned because nothing is completely dead on unless you have a…

27 strange, I love that saying...you can be sore tomorrow or sorry tomorrow...so true... : )

I have been learning that with all my iced drinks for the summer. In Canada there is one place that serves an iced expresso and it has 52 grams of sugar in a medium...learned my lesson. Now I do research online for stores and stick to the unsweetened iced coffee with milk :)

I use a yogurt based dressing

Minced turkey mixed with salsa and then made into burgers. Lean protien might work for you.

I agree :)

At least stay within your net calories. Example, if MFP says you need to eat 1200 calories a day, then eat as close to your 1200 calories a day. Remember if you adding excerise, you have to eat back your excerise calories so that your calorie intake is correct with your net. Good luck.

I agree with Kalrez, don't do it every day. Try to stay in your net zone. :)

I would try to plan your workouts so that through out the say you can eat enough to cover the loss when you work out. I was not losing any weight because I was eating 1530 calories a day and buring 1000 per workout 5 times a week. The minute I started to eat my calories and get back to my net (as close as possible) I…

Some of the best routines are with oxygen magazine. I love them. They are pretty easy, you can make them as hard as you want. The website is www.oxygenmag.com

well said I'll add you :)

Don't worry about measuring it. All banana's are pretty much the same calorie count. Don't get too technicial with the counts, you will get bored with it fast :)

Once you save it once it is always there. That way, you don't have to do it each and every time. Some times you add a generic salad and use that. If you just type in salad or spinch it should give you just the numbers for the amount you need. So basically, save it once or enter it each time lol. Hope you have better luck.

I suggest throwing it out the window :D

You may simply need to eat more... and that includes those exercise calories. Never eat less than net unless you question the validity of the exercise calories MFP calculated for you... for me, I make sure I eat at least half my exercise calories back and have lately been eating more than half. I am only about a week into…

I just figured this to. If you eat 1200 calories a day and you burn say, 400 at the gym, you have to eat 400 to make up the 1200 again to be net. Confusin I know.

WOW thank you for all the ideas :) I like the peanut butter idea, the chocolate chips, and the yogurt. :)

Yeah ok thank you. I will do that. I also am using a heart rate monitor that is 98% acurate so I am not worried I am pretty sure my calories are bang. I will use all the advice you guys have given thanks. Thank you also for posting that long informative information user :)

ok so the consensus is ... eat the 800 calories or so that I work out ?

oh ok thanks :)

It does :) Thanks. I will do my best to eat the calories I burn...lol...why can't this be wasy lol Thank you for all the responses.

I can assure I am not borderline anorexic...I am 242 pounds, but not hungry after my work outs... :)

or eric I basically have to find a way to add another 400 calories to my diet each day if I am buring max 1000 calories a work out?

but this is what i don't get...I am eating the 1880 calories they are saying to eat, but then I burn them off...but I am not hungry enough to eat anymore...? So I should be eating more calories throught he day then if I am going to burn them off at night? I am only following what MFP is telling me to do lol. This is so…

I don't feel like I am hungry though... ? So do I just leave it or excerise less?

Thanks

Could be gaining some muscle. It weights more than fat, or you could be retaining some water.

Thanks I added you :)

never thought of this...thanks :)
