Weight Gain After the Weekend
I splurged on my diet this weekend and now the scale says I've gained 12 lbs in 3 days! I find that hard to believe. I ate a little more than I should but I highly doubt I've eaten 12 lbs extra worth of calories over the weekend. I'm very upset. Has anyone else experienced such a high gain within a few days? :/

Counting calories on LCHF diet?
Does anyone else count calories on the LCHF diet? My carbs per day tend to average around 20-35g net per day. I like to log my food in MFP to keep up with my carbs, but sometimes my calories can equal to 2,000 calories or more per day! I do, however, workout 5-6 times a week. Any input on this will be greatly appreciated!…

Should I be eating back my calories?
I eat an average of 1200-1250 calories per day...I also work out once or sometimes twice a day. I aim to burn at least 800 calories a day doing cardio (I know these machines can overestimate calories burned sometimes so I do take this into consideration). Should I eat more than 1200-1250 calories per day if I'm burning off…
