Should breakfast be the biggest meal of the day?
Everyone and their mother will tell you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but should it also be the biggest? And if so, how long does it take to get used to eating more, earlier in the day? I'm accustomed to having a small 150-200 calorie breakfast.

Has eat more to weigh less actually worked for anyone???
I've had weight issues since I was a child, gaining a lot in elementary school because of a horrible diet, then eventually losing it because of compulsive exercise and dieting.

SNACKS... How many calories is too many?
I think I may be eating too many calories in snacks. I'm usually pretty active so I don't like to consume big meals as that can lead to stomach cramps during exercise.

Help with eating less carbs!
So I've been noticing lately that my carbohydrate intake is pretty high- I usually stay in the range of 250-300g per day. Normally, I'd just chalk it up to the fact that I'm an active person, but considering I'm on here and trying to lose weight, maybe I'm wrong. I'd like to lower my intake to about 150g of carbs- even…

TDEE and Exercise
I'm trying to understand these concepts. Does your TDEE factor in the calories that you burn from workouts everyday?
