Lean muscle/bodybuilding calorie confusion!
Hi all, I haven't been here in a while but now I am I want to make sure I'm getting this right. I'm not too concerned about weight loss (I've put it at 10lb loss as I've noticed a lot of lean ladies around my height (5ft3) are 120lb-ish and I'm 130lb), but rather gaining lean muscle and dropping my body fat percentage down…

Improving Cycling Safety Campaign
Hi, I'm doing a university project on making road users more aware of cyclists and improving road safety for cyclists. If you're a cyclist or motorist (or both!) could you please complete my surveys. It won't take long and will make my day! Cyclists take this one: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LK7JFB6 Motorists take this…

Bruising Easily
Ever since I started dieting and exercising more I've noticed that I've been bruising really easily. If I get knocked by my bike a bit while I'm walking it out of the drive I end up with bruises all over my leg. I have so many bruises now - my boyfriend even commented on it the other day. I never used to bruise easily -…

When will I get out of this plateau?
I've been stuck at the same weight now for 2 weeks. During this time I have increased my strength training and also tried increasing my calories but nothing is working! I go to the gym 5 times a week and eat as clean as possible. I've been a lower weight than this in the past so it's not like my body won't let me lose…

Accessories Needed for the DVD
Hi All, I just bought this DVD from the States (I live in England so it'll probably take a few weeks to get here). While I'm waiting for it to arrive, could anyone who's already started it let me know what extra things I need? E.g. Dumbells etc. I do most of my exercise at the gym so I don't really have that much home-gym…

Instant Oats + Protein for Breakfast?
I've recently started really focusing on strength training in the hope of gaining some lean muscle. Yesterday I had my first protein shake (with milk) and loved it. At the moment I eat Special K cereal for breakfast, but I'm thinking of switching to an oat shake plus a scoop of flavoured protein (again, with milk). The…

Should I be eating more?
I posted this on a different board but no one responded so I'm going to try here instead! According to MFP, I should be eating 1200 calories (net) per day. My BMR is 1277 calories a day. I've been sticking to this since I started MFP and it's all been fine and good and I've been losing around 1 lb a week. Until a couple of…

How many calories should I be eating?
According to MFP, I should be eating 1200 calories (net) per day. My BMR is 1277 calories a day. I've been sticking to this since I started MFP and it's all been fine and good and I've been losing around 1 lb a week. Until a couple of weeks ago I was doing mostly cardio with a bit of strength training thrown in couple of…

Barefoot Running?
I started running on the treadmill about 3 weeks ago and I love it (still too scared to run outside at the moment though). After I've been running I always notice that for a few days after my ankles really hurt. I spoke about it to my housemate who does a lot of running and he strongly recommends barefoot running (in those…

Healthy alternatives to sandwiches?
Does anyone have any healthy alternatives to sandwiches that I can make for lunch? I'm trying to cut bread out of my diet but I have no idea what I can have instead. I work in an office so it can't be a meal that has to be cooked etc. Thank you!

I'm never going to get thin!
I go to the gym 5 times a week and cycle to work and back and nothing is happening! I feel so discouraged by it all. I'm aware it's probably because I don't have the cleanest diet, but I don't eat fast food or fizzy drinks/soda and I stick to my calories and there's still no difference! Sob.

BMR Confusion
I just used the tool on here to calculate my BMR, which came to 1295. My calories are set at 1200, but I tend to burn around 300 - 550 a day through exercise, all of which I eat back. I therefore have hardly any deficit calories. Does this mean I won't lose weight / it'll be harder for me to lose weight? Should I be eating…
