Caloric intake question
Help me out please. If my caloric intake is 1500 (already at a deficit) and let's say I burn 500 calories, Do I have to consume the calories I burned since I was already at a deficit? I'm a little lost.

Strength training + Weightlifting
I plan on starting weightlifting today and i'm quite new to it. I've been eating clean for the most part but I wanted to know if it is okay to go over my carbs/sugar as long as it is not processed? My calorie goal is 1800 and it's so hard for me to eat that much within a day without going over the carbs & sugar. I'm also…

Great App !
I recently downloaded an app called Fooducate. You can basically scan anything you're buying at the grocery store and it will tell you whether or not it's processed, natural & all that other good stuff. If you buy something that's not too healthy, it will give you a healthy alternative so you can get back on track. I love…

Who should be blamed?
WHO SHOULD BE BLAMED WHEN A LEAF FELL FROM A TREE? IT IS THE WIND THAT BLEW IT AWAY? OR THE TREE THAT LET IT GO? OR MAYBE.. IT IS THE LEAF WHO GREW TIRED HOLDING ON.. I'm sure we can all relate since we're here to lose weight. I'm sure we one day grew tired of our unhealthy lifestyle and made a choice to get right on track.
