Heart rate while doing C25K
I am on week 6 of C25K I've started around May ( One "week" can technically be 10 days for me because running is not my main cardio it's what I do on my "rest" days, I have never needed to repeat a day) I wear my HRM while running and I get an average of around 130 for my workout. It seems incredibly low since I'm over 200…

I need the TDEE method folks to come out of the woodwork
I've been toying with the idea of setting my cals at TDEE minus a cut for a while now. I understand the way it all works and that's all good BUT When I calculate my BMR I get a HUGE difference depending of the formula I'm using and that creates a difference in my TDEE of over 700 calories! If I calculate BMR with the…

Am I doing something wrong?
Alright, this is a genuine question. I've been on MFP for a wee bit over 100 days. I'm losing steady since day one but in the last month my losses have all been under a pound/week. I do not starve myself, I don't do the 1200 cals thing, I eat back most of my workout cals and I do workout 6 days a week ( cardio/ lifting)…

HELP!! Suggestions needed

I would like to eat back about 300 of those so I don't net WAY below my BMR. Any suggestions on snacks that can fill those up without busting my sugar and…
