Nutrition for Ironman
I would love some help figuring out how much I need to be eating (and what) to prep for my first Ironman. I would like to not gain weight and I don’t know that right now is the best time to try to lose. I’ve run plenty of races but never competed in a tri- I’m sponsored in a 70.3 IM in August, so it’s go time. Race…

TDEE to cut, length of cycle?
I'm currently TDEE and seeing great gains in how much I can lift, how fast my mile is, cardio-endurance for cycle/swim, and minor weight gain. My question is, should I cut before a wedding I'm in that happening at the end of February or just stick with TDEE even though my BF% may be slightly higher? I've only been at TDEE…

Goal Weight - Still want to lose fat - build muscle
Hi! I'm below my goal weight! I'm ready to think about transitioning to a maintenance diet BUT I still would like to lose fat because I feel like I have some serious fat in my belly to lose. Do I transition to 2000 or stay at 1560? I lift for 60 minutes T/Th/F/Sun and I run M/W/Sat (3.5/3.5/6-7). Thanks!

Heavy Lifting Question

To eat back calories or not
I have a client who's a personal trainer she says that I need to eat 300 calories below my BMR on a daily basis, regardless of activity. This is 1259 calories.

From success to baby and slowly getting back to success (pics)
I was on MFP pretty hardcore while I trained for my half marathon in 2013... I found out I was pregnant with #4 in 4/2013 and ran my half marathon in May 2013.
