Don't eat it all the time and don't not eat it if you want it, just fit it into your day/week however you do things. Check the nutritional info first, coz they can be quite high due to the rice etc.

BMR is actually what you burn just by existing, if you didn't do anything at all. TDEE is what you burn in an average day, that is a multiplier of your BMR depending on your activity level. Possibly change your goals to lose half a pound a week, eat back your exercise calories and try to eat as healthy as you can/want.

Because he's not eating enough. The in 5 weeks you will weigh whatever isn't necessarily true.

lol I'll be eating about 2500 today... I find it hard to eat 1800 coz I get hungry, love having a high metabolism because I eat above my BMR.

A guy at work is a full on athlete, with a coach and nutritionist etc, has about 6.5% body fat, is strong and fit, eats about 8-10 meals a day depending on where in the season he is, every 8 weeks he has a week with no exercise and eats the same. I'm not suggesting you do this, but I know it is a part of some people's…

I didn't read the ENTIRE thread, but snacking little bits helps, and over time you will probably find that your metabolism will increase and you will feel hungry sooner. When I first started I noticed after a little while I was hungry every two hours or so.

Thanks, I will try both tucking my chin and looking straight up. I don't use my hands to hold my head, I don't even like resting my fingertips near my temples, I prefer to glide them up my legs or cross over my chest.

Spread it on a crusket and have it with sliced avocado or tuna or salmon or whatever to add flavour

Great! Keep us posted :smile:

Yeah, sure :p

I think ends would have been funnier than begins :tongue:

depends what you can fit it, maybe aim to work up to 3 strength training days and 3/4 cardio days, you will find out what works for you

What do you currently do? You don't want to push too hard too fast.

Don't give up! MFP can help, you've only been on MFP for 2months max, consider it a new start, start small and build up. Do not go too hard too fast or you might throw the towel in. Choose your attitude, you can do this. You will do this!

My first thought when reading the title, something that goes in a pool....

Me too, I also use a fitbit, so it subtracts my bmr from my burn so it doesn't matter how long I leave it on for. If you subtract your bmr yourself you won't have to worry about how long you have it on for. :smile:

If you are training hard, you may need more cal's, if you start to feel worn down, definitley up them to see if it helps, don't worry over the protein, if you were over in fats or carbs it would be a diff story. also, remember, everyone is different :) i need my carbs too

Is it at work, sitting at a desk? My back was hurting, a new work chair with really good lumbar support helped a lot!! It'll take a long time for you to retrain yourself, but constantly reminding yourself to work your core, use your muscles whilst not moving will help. Put reminders everywhere sit/stand up straight. Good…

Based on the injuries described, being joint not muscle, I'd say footwear would be the first thing to be checked, then the overdoing and not stretching. If your muscles aren't up to the run yet, the joints are going to take more impact than if your muscles can handle the run.

I've just moved out of home and in with my boyfriend, so I'm learning to adapt to that, both living with him and also not having my mum and dad do stuff for me. I guess my goal would be to learn how to maintain a household.

Heart Rate Monitor would be the most accurate way of logging activity. If that's not something you can or want to do, maybe just add an exercise called like weekend or whatever, for 500 cal, if that's what you feel you need. But I would recommend the HRM

Go to the forum for that sort of thing, or find some more/new friends. If your news feed isn't working for you.

Same! Except for the steps, at the moment, I am going to start setting step goals in a couple of weeks.

Up to you, sometimes you go to a function where it is so hard to log... nibblies at a wedding or birthday... I try to line my free days up with social events or if I feel liek I need one!

That is very horrible news, remember that everyone grieves differently, there is no wrong way. You will never stop missing, it will never not hurt to think about, but it will get easier.

tip - before or after work, without going home in between, works for a lot of people i know, might work for you. can't hurt to try.

I'm the opposite, I wish I could be more accurate! But do what works for you, don't give up, it is really easy once you get into the swing of things. If you find yourself constantly hungry, change your calorie intake. Everyone is different, so don't starve yourself :smile:

Agreed, focus on healthy living rather than calories. Plenty of fresh food, cut down processed.. Lots of exercise, help her find something she enjoys doing, find her sport :)

depends on the lifestyle... if you are tracking then it's not so critical and as a comfort thing.. if you feel uncomfortable in bed because you're full then eat earlier..or whatever ...

Sounds good :)
