Eating Schedule, Training and Calories
I have BMR of 1483kcals and a sedentary job. I am trying to lose around 5 kgs but I'm having a really hard time making the scale move. MFP gives me a minimum of 1220 kcals as my eating goal, which means that my built in deficit is around 260. That would mean that by maintaining a diet of 1220 kcals it would take me…

HRM for Figure Skating
So I've fallen of the band wagen recently in terms of eating. I figured that because I was competitively figure skating training for 2 hours 5- 6 days a week, I didn't really have to worry about over eating and I stopped logging completely and I stopped loosing weight. I want to change that again, so I've back to logging…

Is it possible to gain 2 kg (4.4lbs) in a weekend?
I am going to be honest I went from 69.1 to 71.1 kg from Friday to Monday and it is freaking me out. This to me seems like a huge weight change for a matter of days. I weight myself everyday, to keep track of my fluctuation, but this seems like a huge increase. It's really heart breaking because I've been working really…
