fitbit tdee 300cals lower than emtwl
I was checking out my fitbit history and it seems my average daily burn (tdee) before adding in exercise is 1400. However in the td ee calculations on scoobys site, based on weight and bodyfat I'm getting 1700 (i have my body fat saved on my fitbit also.) Can I trust my fitbits estimation? Also, for more accuracy, can I…

Alan Aragons formula for an obese woman with hypothyroid
I've been hearing great things about this man and after calculating my calories using his formula, I thought "Wowza!! Goodbye starvation." What I worry about though, is there's no mention of body fat. I know he advocates eating a lot of protein though so I probably don't need to worry. My problem is that I'm obese with a…

Can't decide what to cook? Recipe Challenge.
Hey, i hope this is the right board to post this. I was torn between games & recipes. I know cooking and eating healthy can be boring sometimes, which makes you not want to do it. I decided it'd be a good idea to start a recipe challenge. Basically one person posts a list of ingredients they have at home [spices, liquids,…

Am I JUDDDing right?
I'm SO confused... Am i doing this right? Here's my basic eating plan: Monday 3pm - Tuesday 3pm: -I eat basically what i want, when i want, within reason (mostly...I have a tendency to binge - but not intentionally). I have a goal to stay below maintenance. Tuesday 3pm - Wednesday 3pm: -I eat no more than 500 calories…

Math Question: How the hell do you figure 80-20% out?
I don't know how to decide how many calories to stash away for non primal meals (i like to treat myself for sticking to primal at the end of the week). I can't for the life of me figure it out.. Is there a spreadsheet somewhere? or an equation? I'm aiming to eat with 20% of my total weekly calories not being primal. But…

Gaining Body Fat
I'm on stage 2 of NROLFW and have gone from 35% BF to 37%. I've been sticking perfectly to the NROLFW diet and although i have lost weight this week, i've gained body fat and lost lean mass. Originally i was eating at a cut (300 calories less), but increased because it wasn't working for me. I feel as if nothing will ever…

Do i suffer from an ED (Binge Eating Disorder)
This is a serious question. I know a doctor would better be able to diagnose me but he's over 30 miles away. I'm not asking for a diagnosis, simply opinions. If i am a sufferer, i have it under control, thanks to MFP and obsessively counting calories. I stumbled across the symptoms today and I'm kind of freaked out at how…

Want to Help me Calculate my Calories & Macro's?
I'm not being lazy posting this. I've tried numerous sites and went by what i read in NROLFW and my BMR & TDEE results are different everywhere - and not just by a little - I've noticed huge differences. I've heard about activity multipliers being inaccurate so i never know what to use there either! I'm sort of maths…

Anyone doing Weight Watchers... or even slimming world?
Wondering if anyone has succeeded in doing weight watchers (Or slimming world) along with lifting? I'm aware there's free foods so i guess i could fit them into my macro's to make up the calories required for workout days. I'd love to hear other peoples experience as WW worked for me in the past and i wonder what it would…

Warmup & Warmup sets
Do people do the warmups in the book or would a walk suffice? Also - is it important to do the warmup sets before each exercise? The book wasn't very clear! (so far I do all my warmup sets with body weight before doing any of the actual workout - but only to familiarise myself with the workouts.)

Using normal barbell, not olympic? Also, HiIT - essential?
I just got my stage one equipment delivered and am dying to start. I noticed though, that some exercises require an olympic barbell? Is this important or will a normal barbell do? It said nothing about improvising this in the book.. (Obviously ill load the barbell with weights..) Also... Interval training. (EEK!) I…

Bullies, Haters & Abuse on MFP - How to deal with it.
As you all know MFP is FULL of idiots who post snide comments on peoples status, when the original poster just wants helpful comments. Here's what you do - and you've heard it so many times. IGNORE THEM! Why? Because they've actually gone out of their way to post a comment on your thread. If someone posts something, no…

Question about Protein: Does it matter which supplements we
Hi, I'm starting NROL4W on Wednesday and have never really taken protein supplements. Well, apart from ProtiDiet bars i used to get when on an eating plan. I was wondering if i could have ProtiDiet products rather than shakes? I can provide nutrition info if needed!!

Really want to do C25K but im always getting headaches and vomiting after workouts. I'm able for Leslie Sansone's walking workouts, though the workout with the 2 minute jogs left me with a headache afterwards (not during workout).
