Joining a challenge after beginning routine.
So two weeks ago I got back into the routine of tracking calories, upping protein and working out, focusing on weight training while throwing in a realistic amount of cardio then swimming laps while my girls play in the pool 3 times a week. My gym is doing a fitness challenge and I’m always a sucker for a challenge. It…

Where do you stop tracking?
I’ve been at this tracking thing for going on over a month now. At my fittest and throughout my journey (starting in 2014) I had tried tracking but then would stop because well, it’s depressing ALWAYS going over calories!! This time around after a 30 pound Covid weight gain I gave myself a realistic goal of staying under…

Real calories burned estimated; Apple Watch?
I’m a 169 (ok let’s just say 170 lol) 66” female. I workout on average between 60-90 minutes hard 6 days a week, then there is occasional walking thrown in, running errands, housework etc. On average my watch tells me I burn 3,000-3,300 EOD. I know it’s not accurate, but how off do you think it is? Estimate obviously,…

Anyone else swear by the post workout sugar?
After a good hard training sesh I can’t help to jump on the candy train to rapidly replenish the glycogen. The truth is some people probably look at my diet and go “this chick is an *kitten*”- in reality with my post workout sweet and a tiny bit of a night time treat I probably only eat 20-35 grams of “ scary sugar”-…

I just want to say THANK YOU!
Before I came here I was trying another app and community board and it was very frustrating. I am very pro ALL foods, and for weight-loss even ALL foods in a reasonable calorie deficit. I felt really alone there and almost not liked lol (not that I cared) because I gosh forbid- eat sugar from both fruit and some table…

DMHA vs DMAA question
Over the past few years I was occasionally taking an ECA stack via Bronkaid to amp out workouts- as I LOVE accelerated cardio/ weight training- I never crashed or had any ill side effects. Since I can’t get my hands on any anymore I switch to DMHA + Caffeine after someone recommended it saying “If you like the ECA try this…

Why does the “goal” change day to day?
I noticed on “nutrition” the goal changes day to day. For instance some days my protein goal say “108” others it say “130” my fat, carbs, sugar- they all change day to day- is it averaging it out for the week or something? I’m not too concerned. I just focus personally on calories and protein. Just wondering why the app…
