Why are there two different prices for Premium? Why can't I pay the cheaper one?
I'm a former Premium user. I discontinued my subscription after my personal information was exposed in MFP's data breach. I'd like to join again. MFP advertises a premium subscription for CA$11.99 per month through a browser and CA$27.99 per month if I try to subscribe through the app. I can't afford to pay yearly right…

Do I really burn 4000-5000 calories?
My current goal is recomp by gaining muscle. MFP uses my Garmin watch and logged exercise to come up with a daily calories out figure and it's often very high -- 2 days back it was 5775 calories! I'm fairly active, have a fast metabolism and I'm a bit fidgety, always moving and flexing my muscles. And I can easily eat 4000…

Shin/calf pain from running
I'm at one of those stages where my running is limited by shin/calf pain. I can breathe fine, heart rate is barely in the aerobic zone, but my lower legs just burn with pain. I do stretch and I do calf raises on the leg press plus regular leg press. Also might be worth noting I usually land on my toes. Any suggestions?…

Supplements interfering with bloodwork
Recently my doctor ordered some blood tests including urinalysis (chemical + toxicology screen). He said the results were "unclear": and I should have the test redone. Now, I don't take any recreational drugs and all the supplements say they're free of banned substances. Some of my prescription meds should cause false…

Calorie intake, macros and cardio for strengthening - my questions
Right now I want to gain strength and muscle. I'm 225 lbs (male, 36, 6'0) with an ideal weight of probably around 190, but that's sort of a secondary goal at the moment. So I have some questions about that. - Should I reduce calorie intake at all? I have MFP set to lose 0.5 lbs/wk and I usually get somewhere between the…

How long does it take to get really fit?
I'm 36, male. So I've been working out for about 6-9 months at different levels, sometimes not as much as I'd like due to a death in the family and some difficulty getting to the gym. I do some things at home too. I'm wondering how long it takes to look like the relatively fit guys in the gym... I have the right body type…

Hello from rks581
I've been using MyFitnessPal for quite a while now, recently went premium (and will stay that way) and decided to join the forums. I run, lift weights, do cardio, ride skateboards and play airsoft (a combat sport like paintball). Despite all that I'm about 20-25 lbs overweight and wanting to lose that and gain lean muscle.…
