Ok so....burning 2000 - 3000 calories...what to eat
So I am going Laguna Seca (Racetrack) on Saturday. I will be there for about 12 hours. I usually spend about 4-5 hours walking around. I also carry 25lbs of camera gear, and a chair. With estimators, it seems between 2000 -3000 extra calories that I will burn. What in the heck can I eat to cover that calorie deficit.…

Lucia/Kiki - help!....(I swear I should start paying you )
Hey Guys, So I was just checking my last two weeks of exercise and I really do think I calculated my TDEE wrong and may be some of my troubles. I had plugged in: 3-5 hrs of Moderate exercise (I based this off week 1 of eating more, and I did Insanity 5 days a week). So that made my number: TDEE - 3974 TDEE - 20% - 3156…

Question about activity level calcs
Hey Guys, So in another thread someone brought up a good point. I do insanity 5-6 days a week, and also life some weight in there too. However the rest of my time I am generally sedentary (IT Desk Job). I am only asking because on the TDEE calculator, the difference from Sedentary to Active is a 1400 calorie swing. Anyways…

Crazy what sodium does to you
So on saturday morning I was 292.5 (my start weight since upping my cals). I ate healthy all day. Sunday morning was 293, no big deal. However that was determined to be my cheat day. I ate healthy, but for dinner me and some buddies went out to pizza. I had 4 slices of pizza (pepperoni, bacon and extra cheese), 3 small…

Hey Guys, I forgot to mention a target date for getting in decent shape. A bunch of my buddies are doing this and they challenged me to get in shape for it (one person is my CEO). This is Sept 29th.

Going to Costco in 30 minutes to get more food (I just started eating 3k calories instead of 700 this week) so looking for healthy ideas. Need snack food, lunch stuff, ect. Also need something slightly sweet to drink (Maybe lightly flavored soda water?)

Alcohol and TDEE
Hey Guys, I have stopped drinking, save one day a week when I go out with my buddies (Friday nights). I usually have between 5-8 beers. Should I factor this into my goals, even though they are empty calories? Should I leave headroom in my daily target goal for this?

Is this normal for your first day in?
Hey Guys, If you saw my other thread, I just started today with the "Eat more to weigh less" program.

So today, I am going for my TDEE -20% goal of 3000-3100 calories. Its noon, I…
