Calories used running for 143lb female??

But I actually ran 26 minutes of it. so basically can any 143lb females give me an estimate of how many cals I would have earned from running 26 mins?

Maintenance Question
Hi I am now on maintenance -and this week have gained a little (not bothered tho -it will balance out).

Nervous about increasing to maintenance calories ??
Hi, I have reached my goal and instead of going straight to maintenance recommended calorie intake I increased a little over the last two weeks.

Constipation remedy suggestion
I was feeling bloated and constipated, despite the fact that I had sufficient, fibre, water, excercise, sleep etc. So I did some research and identified that fats/oils are essential for good digestional transit. Looking at my food diary it was very obvious that my daily fat was always way below the recommended. As such I…

People are telling me I am too thin???
I am 5 ft 6 and 47 yrs of age. My starting weight was 166lbs. I am now 143lbs. My goal was 140lbs but I am happy at this weight.

Question about sugar?
Can any one tell me if all sugars are the same.? Today's sugars came from All bran breakfast cereal and an apple. I would guess that the apple has "natural sugars" and the All Bran may have added sugars. Any thoughts - and also - is there an recommended daily allowance of sugar? Thanks

Can I ask if people think I should reduce my calorie intake as perhaps my body has got used to needing 1200 calories. I am 5ft 6 inches and am wanting to loose another 11 lbs in order to…
