Woman who can maintain on 2000+ calories...how?!
I am SO envious when I hear some woman say they can maintain on 2000-2300 calories! I'm 5'7, weigh 128 (Goal is 120-125), and burn 2000 calories a week (3 days HIIT, 1 day indoor cycling, 2 rest days of 1hr walks). I'm not in maintenance yet, but getting close I think; I am currently losing eating 1740 a day. When I run my…

SOS - I'm scared to eat out
I've had anxiety over eating out for several years now, and in an effort to conquer that, am looking to learn from people's experience. I do not under eat/crash diet, so my anxiety is not rooted in an obsession from not eating enough. If anything, it stems from an obsession of being fit, thin, and feeling/looking my best.…

Korean Sweet Potato nutritional facts?
Hi Everyone :) I really love goguma, or, Korean sweet potatoes . I believe they are the same as Japanese sweet potatoes, but don't quote me on that. The thing is, I can't find consistent nutritional information on goguma. I know that the nutritional profile of goguma is different from the traditional American variety of…

Reverse dieting for finding your maintainence calories...question
I decided that I want to gradually add in calories to find my maintenance (reverse diet) versus just jumping to what I think my maintenance calories are. That being said, I have a question... When I add in calories, say, 100 calories to start off with, how long is a reasonable time to assess whether or not that I need to…

Calories in different cuts of beef?
Does anyone have a website they use for the calories in different cuts of beef? I'm trying to look up the stats on top round beef. When I tried looking it up, the numbers were all over the place depending on which website it used. Steak vs beef? Separable lean? Reuse only? What the heck is all that supposed to mean?lol! I…

I get a little help from my friends...please!
Hi All! So, currently I'm eating at a slight deficit ( I use the TDEE method as a point of reference) to lost the last 10 pounds to my goal. I do lift weights at Orange Theory, so, while I'm not a complete noob, I still consider myself a novice! Plus, I'm def uneducated when it comes to this world. So, I'm really looking…

Back to basics - TDEE check and feedback
Hi All! So, after having gained some weight, I've decided I need to get back on the wagon rather than wallow in self pity and reach for the junk food lol . Second to the vanity, I'm on new medication, which MAY cause weight gain. So, I want to be meticulous about my calorie tracking. This way, if I gain, rather than lose,…

Activity Level: Am I lightly or moderatley active?
Hi everyone. I posted this question a while back, but I don't think I was clear when I asked because the responses I got didn't answer my question: based on the exercise I do every week, should I classify myself as lightly or moderately active? As for what exercise I do, I go to Orange Theory 3-4 times a week. For those…

Does this happen to anyone else?
I'm a pretty fit female, size 2. I find that if I eat healthy, meaning within my TDEE calories, and workout, my body looks and feels great! Very toned, thin, and how I like. That being said, every time I overindulge, if you will, my body goes from looking toned and lean to bloated, bumpy, and just...fluffy! I have to…

What's my new activity level?
I've been following the TDEE method for as long as I can remember, with great success :smile: I've always put my activity level at "light" because I wasn't lying in bed all day, aka sedentary, but also wasn't working out regularly. Cut to this May, I started doing Orange Theory 3-4 times a week. For those unfamiliar with…

Eating less when lifting???
Hi Everyone, I found the chart I see mentioned on MFP a lot, and input my information.

So when I add on an hour for lifting I get BMR 1431 TDEE 1933 TDEG 1577 Deficit 356 Does this make sense to…

Hi guys, So I've gotten into cooking a lot more now that I have discovered so many wonderful sites and blogs for healthy recipes. I have a question about weight. So usually what I do is weigh my ingredients before I cook, e.g. 504 g raw zucchini = 86 calories. Because I rarely make single portion meals, I use the method I…
