Gaining muscle, losing fat?!?!
I had a body comp analysis at the gym yesterday, here's what it said: 172 cms 62.5 kgs 24.6% body fat 47 kgs fat free mass (I think that's what FFM stands for) My trainer said I want to aim to put on 3kgs of muscle so my FFM is 50kgs, and he suggested I should be 15% body fat, which I personally think is ridiculous and I…

Low White Blood Cell Count

The doctor told me that it may be due to an increase in physical activity/undernourishment... I'm netting approx 1600 cals per day - eating LOTS as I am marathon training and eating back my…

Strength training & running
Can anybody give any advice on this? I want to start strength training (beginning with NROLFW) in a couple of weeks once I finish the 30DS but am also training for a marathon in January so I am doing a lot of running/cardio (5-6 times per week)...

Partner hates me using MFP :(
My partner and I have just had a huge row over me using MFP - he says it is making me obsessive and doesn't understand why I can't just eat healthily and exercise like 'normal people'.

Calories vs Type of Food???
Looking for some advice here... I'm currently burning up loads of calories training, on average 800 per day and on the weekend 1200... I know I need to eat these calories back but I feel like I am eating soooo much food (goal is 1600 per day before exercise) so most of time when I actually eat them back I feel too full.…
