BMR/TDEE Question
Hi you guys, I've always just gone with the MFP settings on here to set my daily intake of calories, but 1,200 cals is not enough for me. Can somebody please explain to me the BMR and TDEE? Am I supposed to eat my BMR? More? Less? How does TDEE come in to play?

This might be a stupid question but...
Can somebody please explain to me pre & post workout snacks? Like is there any significant reason people have like a "pre-workout shake"? Am I missing something here?

Stuck in a rut and not happy about it
Hi everyone, I finally hit my halfway mark, but now that I'm closer to my goal, my weight loss has slowed to a crawl. Scratch that, it's slowed down to the speed of a sloth trudging through molasses. Seriously. I don't know about anybody else, but I am definitely not a patient person. I want things to keep on going like…

Best device for figuring out calories burnt
Hi you guys, I was just wondering what peoples opinions were on monitors for figuring out how many calories you burn while working out? I just go by the machines, and I know they're not the most accurate, especially for different sizes/shapes people are in. What type of monitor should I look into getting that's going to be…

What happens when you eat a ton of protein?
I eat so much tuna, veggie burgers, protein bars, that my little thing that keeps track of everything eats says that I'm eating more protein than I should. Is this bad, or can I keep on keepin' on?

Advice on sugar
Hi everybody, Ok, so I always plan what I eat for right my calorie mark, and everything is fine.. Except for my sugar. I eat soooooo much fruit everyday, that my sugar is way overboard. Is this a bad thing, since it is fruit/natural sugar that I'm eating, or should I back off? I looove my fruit!

Halfway there!
Today, I'm proud to say that I hit my halfway mark! =D I still have about 27 lbs to go, but I never thought I'd be here! It's amazing how I actually WANT to go exercise, versus a few months ago, when I didn't even know (or care) where the gym was here at my college. Also, it's amazing what a good diet will do for you.

Eating more calories
Hi guys, this might sound like a silly question, but I honestly have no clue and would like to know. I've not been smart about my dieting, and have been eating a stupid low amount of calories (500 a day). Yea. I know.. I've finally realized that it was a bad decision, and am wondering if I'm going to gain the weight back…
