208 carbs?!
I can eat 208 carbs and lose weight? I'm 5'6 currently 145 pounds. I workout about 7 hours a week, cardio and strength training. The haybales spreadsheet gave me about 1800 calories per day, 208 carbs, 138 protein, and 51 grams of fat. Every other calculator has gave me about 160 carbs or less.

I'm 28 years of age and just curious if anyone around my age has had success eating more (1400 calories+) and losing weight? I'm tired of plateauing... and I've gained weight this year with all the frustration of thinking I need to eat less. Just need some motivation/encouragement!

How many carbs are you eating?
I use to eat 1200 - 1300 calories and a lot of the calories came from carbs. I lost about 15 pounds, but it didn't stay off when i tried to maintain. I've gained most of the pounds back and now trying to lose it again. Just confused... if carbs weren't hindering my progress then why do they seem to be now? I have cut my…

iifym (carb question)
I'm trying to calculate my needs. I'm on week 3 of doing iifym...just basically noting that I do not eat "clean" all the time. However, that does not mean I'm eating cereal and candy all day. Anyways, If I have 733 calories left remaining after I take off the calories from protein and fat, that leaves me with 183 g. of…

Weight gain. Metabolism damage?
Over the last 3 months I have managed to gain 4 pounds. It baffles me because I was working out 6 days a week and had a deficit enough to lose .5 a week. However, I use to be someone who would try to eat around 1200 calories w/ working out. I did it time after time to get my weight down. I reached 135 last summer and…

Gained ~ 10 pounds, but same measurements.
Why is it that the scale has the power to make people feel like crap? I'm 5'6" and my mind thinks 142 pounds is heavy (I use to be 134 in November). :( My clothes fit the same, and my body still looks the same as well.... I don't know if I need to focus on weight loss or what my goal should be anymore. Trying to aim for…

what do you have your marcos set as?
Scooby calculator on auto is 50 carbs 30 protein 20 fat, but do you stick with that? Lately I've been on a 40/30/30... but I try to do the 40/40/20, but find it difficult somedays.. I'm looking to lose fat and inches ... would a 50 percent carb intake still do that for me? Or actually, I'm really wondering what's working…

females leaning out & trying to build some muscle...macros?
What are your macros like? It's tough for me to get 40/40/20 macros, so I've been trying the whole 40/30/30, but I'm wondering if that is hindering my progress by consuming more fat (and no, my fat is not all bad fat, i eat almonds, avocados, and eggs often)... just like to hear what everyone else is doing and how their…

Eat maintenance or BMR calories to drop BF percentage?
Or do I still need to create a calorie deficit to cut body fat?? My weight on the scale is not changing (has not changed since late May)... my body is SLOWLY changing though. I'm at a healthy weight, and not looking to lose more than 5 pounds, if I don't need to lose any more weight, that's fine too... however, I've been…

Wearing things I'd never would of worn!
Let me just start by saying, I use to weight around 170 if not 180 pounds when I was 21 years old. It's been a slow journey, but this year I was really determined to not quit and it's got me to 134 pounds. I haven't lost much weight these past 3 months and been trying wanting so badly for my legs to slim down.. but I'm…

results burning as little as 200-300 calories/workout?
I use to workout and burn as many as 400-600 calories on a 1200-1400 calorie diet. I lost a few pounds, but now my weight has been stalled for over a month. I fear eating more calories, but I also feel that maybe this is the problem (not eating enough)? I know I should be netting 1200 per day considering that my BMR is…
