How do you plan meals with IIFYM?
Interested in trying this! I'm 44, 142#, lightly active. Still getting lots of different numbers for target goal with TDEE - 20% from different sites, so different macro suggestions as well. How in the heck do those of you that do IIFYM balance out your macros every day? This is just too complicated for my pea brain! I'm…

Carb Intake 15% IIFYM Meal Ideas!
After being stalled for oh about 5-6 months now, I used the IIFYM calculator to calculate my macros. First let me tell you I am not exercising at this time and I have no true valid excuse.

Advise on Where to Get Running Shoes
Ok, first off, I live in a VERY rural area. 2 1/2 hours to any mall to be exact. I have a history of a 3/4 leg discrepancy and had surgery last year for a torn plantar fasciitis with fibromas.

Where should my target heart rate zone be in?
I'm a beginner and out of shape. I used a calculator to figure my target heart rate zones. Tonight I did the elliptical in two sessions for 6 mins each. My heart rate was apparently in the red zone (oops!) My question is which is best for me to get the best benefit in? Fat Burning, Aerobic, Anaerobic?

Suggestions for a workout?
I am fairly sedentary the days I don't work. As an RN I easily walk 3 to 5 miles a 12 hour shift. I have been walking either on the treadmill (boring as HE$L) at the school's fitness center or at the school in the halls after school hours. (For the record, I do much better "free style" walking with good music, burn more…
