Do macros matter for CICO?
As long as I'm under my calorie goal for the day, does it matter that I don't hit my protein and leap frog over sugar goals? If CICO is correct, then I should still lose weight, yes? I don't go to bed hungry or anything, so it's not like I didn't have dinner because I wanted chocolate. Will that really make a difference?

Eating my Fitbit Steps back.
Quick question. I have set my profile to sedentary. This affords me 1200 calories per day. I then count my steps and usually get up to 13000 steps per day. This then gives me some extra calories. I don't always eat them all back. But sometimes it does make up for an otherwise negative net. Is this not correct? My diary is…

Worried About Lack Of Progress
Opening stats: I am 5'5" and 162 lbs. I am 26 y/o, female. I want to get to about 125 lbs, but that might change when I get to 130, my previous weight that I was unhappy at. I wasn't exercising at that weight and eating poorly, so it's likely that a toned 130 lb would be much more appealing than a frumpy flabby 130. I'm at…

Eating with Insanity
I'm doing Insanity at the moment and I was wondering what is considered eating enough on it? I know Shawn T sets out calories in the booklet but I was planning on just using my heart rate monitor, set to losing 1.5lbs a week, and eating back the calories? Is this wrong?

Abs abs abs...
So I know that there are a lot of people who think that abs are made in the kitchen and you gotta eat clean to get them. Has anyone gotten abs by eating normally, but to a deficit, and from exercises? I'd like to hear from you guys too! I know you cannot spot reduce, but I haven't got the greatest will power, and I am…

Gluten and Lactose Intolerant? TMI.
Ok so since I've started eating healthier, my body has fallen apart. My stomach is bloating, which it has LITERALLY never done before. Like not even during TOM. I've started feeling a bit nauseous, and as the day goes on, my stomach starts to churn and constrict, to the point where I am curled up in a ball with a hot water…

Does Cardio build muscle?
Ok this is a bit of a stupid question, probably, but does cardio build muscle too?! Like obviously not as well as strength training, but say if I am doing cardio, and if I put up the resistance every now and then, ie interval training, am I gradually building muscle too? Because at the moment I think I want to lose a bit…

When do you weigh-in?
So I was wondering when everybody weighs in? I don't mean weekly or monthly, but more so as, do you weigh in first thing in the morning, when you are at your lightest, or is that cheating? Because I cannot remember when I did my original weigh-in, so now if I weigh-in first thing in the morning I am worried that I am…

I feel like the stupidest individual in the world!!! People kept referring to changing their habits as it was "shark week" and there I was, looking for shark shows on Discovery channels and what not, because I find them terrifying but interesting, and I've never seen shark week.... Moron. :S

Confused macros?
Ok, so sometimes I am under my net of 1200 by like 100 calories, more or less, rarely over, but my sugar and fat are usually over? Not always the fat, but definitely the sugar... Is this affecting my weight loss?
