Binge Eating Help!
I've never had this problem until maybe a month ago and it's really starting to worry me. It used to happen only every once in a while but now it's happening about once a week and it needs to stop now!

I'm Scared and Confused!
Ok so I'm still fairly new to the weightlifting community and right now I'm extremely scared on what I should be doing right now. Here's the dilemma... I'm extremely underweight right now.

I really want to get my body fat tested just so I can have a better idea of where I should be in terms of nutrition, but all of the fairly accurate tests are inconvenient and expensive. How do you guys regularly check your body fat %?

TDEE and Macros
How do you guys determine your TDEE and macros? I've been trying to find mine but every calculator I've used has seemed a bit off. I'm very underweight so my BMR of course is going to be low but I'm mostly unsure of my activity level. I go to the gym about 3-4 days per week for about an hour (10-15 min are cardio with…

New Girl Here! Not sure if I'm doing things right...
So a little bit about myself and why I want to put on some lean muscle... I'm 19 years old, 5' 10" and about 115 lbs. I spent most of last year living in New York City with the hope of becoming a model.
