High Calorie Days? LBF%
Now that my body fat is getting pretty low...in the 14% area, I've been contemplating whether or not I should be including higher calorie days so my body doesn't fight against me and hold onto everything? I'm still trying to lose a few more pounds, so on a typical dieting day I consume 1600-2000 calories, burning 400-700…

RUNNERS-Calorie Breakdown ? for you
What do you have yours set at? Carbs, protein and fat....60-20-20, 55-30-15....? What have you found the best success (weight loss while continuing training/running) with?

ANNOYING/AGITATING calorie people
People who eat <1000 calories a day.

Most people burn 1200 calories just sleeping in bed all day, not lifting a…

Bones in chest?
Generally, bones sticking out of your chest would indicate you're underweight...BUT mine have done this since I was 145 pounds at 5'7.5, and are doing it even MORE now that I've lost weight. My BMI isn't even close to underweight. Any other reason? Just my bone structure? It makes people think I'm WAY thinner than I…
