Counting calories while pregnant
My husband and I are trying to get pregnant....how long during pregnancy should I keep up 1400 cal/day? I would assume later in pregnancy I would need to add calories, how many? I definitely don't want to gain weight in the rest of my body, but more important than anything is that I have a healthy baby.... Also, any other…

That sodium struggle
So after another post I made, a few people commented that they had looked at my diary and seemed offended at the amounts of sodium I was intaking...I honestly hadn't even realized!! I don't put additional salt on my food, or even cook with much salt....Compared to most people I know in smalltown, Midwest America I eat…

Weird sleep schedules
Anyone else have jobs the require strange hours of sleep? We are hay farmers, and sometimes that requires us to work all night, or go to work at 3am. I have been using the theory that every meal should be about 3 hours apart and probably no more than 300 calories. How do other people figure it? When I am up for 20 hours…

Can I really EAT MORE????
So I have been wondering why I'm not losing more weight and kept reading I could be eating too few calories... I had set my own goal of 1300 net calories on MFP, and usually go a 100-200 over...my BMR is like 1400 and I am moderately active, walking the dogs, gardening and working out at least 3 times/week...A lot of…

Calorie deficit or eat back my workout?
When people say calorie deficit do they mean actual negative calories for the day or are they just saying NOT to eat back all of my workout and stay under my goal? I was thinking I should maybe stop trying to eat back my calories from my workout since I am not working out THAT hard and possibly underestimating some…

Feeling frustrated....
I was an unhealthy teen, and was always overweight, but since my mid 20s I have always been healthy and have never really seen the weight come off. I even ran the Chicago marathon once, but even then never got down below 150 lbs...I'm 5'6 and that is lowest I have ever been...is that maybe the best I can do? I have been…

Is it my macros? And how do I change?
I have been monitoring caloric intake since the beginning of the year, starting at an average of 1900 calories a day and got down to 1450. (I aim for 1300, but don't make that goal everyday.) I also have been working out a minimum of 3 days a week, many weeks I get a workout in every day! If you count walking the dog, it…
