Simple beginner program with autoimmune
Hello! I am trying to put together a simple strength routine for my mom (she has a number of health issues). She is VERY deconditioned, but not at all overweight (she's tiny). I'm a trainer and I have tons of equipment at my house. I'm just having a mental block on this. We are going to do it together. I walk with her 2-3x…

Bulk and cut timeframe
Do you cut and bulk for the same amount of time? I have read a lot of threads but want to make sure i am understanding correctly as I am planning for the next year. Bulk for 3 months gaining around 1lb/week. Ideally this is half fat and half muscle. Then cut for 3 months, but at a slower rate of 0.5lb/week. So when the cut…

Medication for binge eating and co-occurring disorders
So I have suffered from moderate to severe depression for the last couple of years. I also have anxiety. My binging had gotten extremely out of hand and I have gained over 20 pounds. At this point I am binging almost every night and the longest I go is two nights without a bunge. All that being said-has anyone been…

Weighing food
I often see people mentioning weighing in grams vs ounces. Is this simply bc grams are a smaller unit of measure? My scale is in ounces. It measures to the 1/10 of an ounce. Sometimes, for serving size purposes, I want "1.25" ounces, so I simply measure 1.2 and log as 1.25. I know grams are a significantly smaller unit of…

Strong lifts and running
Hi All, I have been running and working out for a few years. Originally circuits and boot camp style, followed by free weights and eventually barbel lifts. I did crossfit for a while but have never really followed a strict lifting program. In the last six months I have really lost my fitness! Surgery, followed by getting…

Tracking a binge
Hi all! I've been using myfitnesspal for a few years. First as a tool, then as an obsession and now it's just habit. Like many of us, I started off restricting and bingeing, but now I just binge all the time. So-my question is do you guys track your binges and why? (Or even just your overeating). At this point I am…

Biggest eye opener from weighing food
for me it was oatmeal! The portion was always so big and suddenly-not so much. I still get angry looking at my "1/2 cup" portion that is really about a 1/3 cup Plus I miss gluttonous amounts of peanut butter

Anyone eat over 2000 calories?
Anyone eat more than 12-1600 calories a day??? I eat 2050 when I want to lose, I'll eventually get down to 1750(if I want to be super lean) but I consider that super low. I'm active, but have always eaten this way. 5'7" up to 150 lbs (comfortable weight of 135-140). I could definitely use some friends in my calorie range
