Is my maintenance weight okay?
Hi everyone, I have a question regarding maintenance weight. I've been weighing 58 kgs (127.86 lbs) for a long time now (about 8 months). I have to give some background story: I have had anorexia and in March 2016 I was at my lowest weight. I gained weight rather fast and have been at the min. healthy weight since about…

Quick fix (just for one weekend)
Hi guys, I have a question. Next Sunday I have a photoshoot which I just heard I have been chosen for. I'm really excited but also anxious because if I knew this earlier, I would have tried to get in my best shape. I have been ill for 2 weeks and haven't been able to fully workout in that period. I did some running and…

Not sure about maintenance calories
Hey guys, I weigh about 58 kg right now (170 cm tall), have an office job but have to travel abroad for this job. It involves a lot of eating out at unhealthy restaurants (which I have to join). I try to stay as healthy as possible and within about 2100 calories, but it almost always becomes more of a 2500 figure I believe…

Sudden weight gain
Hi everyone, I have a question. So for a while, I was maintaining on 2300 kcal. I worked out 4 times a week (half weights half cardio) for an hour. My stats were 170 cm and 56 kgs (approx 5'7 and approx 123.4 lbs). However, suddenly my weight went up to 58 kgs (127.9 lbs). I don't really understand why. I didn't eat more…

English is not my native language, and I find it hart to describe it well without sounding weird, but it feels as if something is pulled to…

Short workout vs. long workout
Hi! I'm currently maintaining (or trying to maintain at least). I workout about 4 times a week, and my workouts usually consist of 30 minutes strength and 30 minutes cardio. However, on Monday, I did a new workout called Grit Strength and I'm still sore. It was a great workout, but it only lasted 30 minutes but afterwards…

Calories when you can't exercise at all
Hi, last Tuesday I had an abscess removed which really hurt and the doctor told me I shouldn't workout or ride a bike for a few days (approx. a week). I'm pretty stubborn so I already tried to ride a bike this morning but it hurt too much. I can't workout this weekend anyway as I'm going to visit my grandparents for two…

123.5 lbs/5'7 female, maintaining on 2300 calories
Hi, I'm a 5'7 22 year old girl and I currently weight 123.5 lbs. I work out about 3/4 times a week for about an hour (weight lifting + cardio, 50/50). About 2 years ago, I recovered from anorexia and I know this influences the amount of calories you need for a long period after you've recovered. However, I'm now barely…
