Exercise calories way too high?
So I had a pretty productive day. Two 30 min walks and a 30 min run, all great and good about 20k steps yay, but my exercise calories seem way too high for that. I have my fitbit linked and dont manually put in my workouts just use my watch to track them and today it says I have 1400 exercise calories! That seems way too…

Strength trainging whole body vs isolation workouts
Ive been working out for a couple weeks and have been doing whole body workouts with dumbbells. I just feel like the whole body workout videos aren't really pushing me. So my question should I stick to them for now and just increase sets? Or should I start splitting up my workouts to isolate a couple muscle groups per…

Strength training soreness - to beor not to be
That is the question. In all seriousness is it important to feel sore after a strength training session or does it not matter? The last two sessions I did I felt it during but not so much after or the next day. Maybe a little soreness when using the muscle/s I worked where as the first session I did (with heavier weights,…

Activity level

Would it be batter for me to try to stay consistent with the calories I eat 7 days a week? Mfp has me at 1400…

Macros vs calories
Should I be focusing on my macros right now or just make sure I stay within my calories? The app has my protein pretty low and carbs higher than Id expect. 69g for protein and 134g for carbs, does this sound right?

New and motivated
Well I've hit that point of enough is enough. I'll be turning 30 this year and dont want to spend another decade being obese. Currently I am 225 and 5'2. A good 100 pounds overweight. Id love to lose around 50 by the end of October but any loss would make me happy at this point. Mfp gave me 1380 calories but I'm wondering…
