training
Hello! I'm new but not new to pf. I was getting annoyed with not seeing results from what I was doing so I did the training this week to get a program made.

did tdee -20% work for you?
Just wanted some input I am thinking about trying it. It says I should eat 1900 cals a day. I have been eating an average of 1200-1500 a day for at least 2 months. I lost awhooping 1.5 lbs during that time and that wasn't until I had a week where I was on the end of that cal spectrum and it took wks to loose that. So I am…

How to eat more? I know, sounds weird.
I just decided to try eating TDEE - 20% which for me is 1916 calories, I usually eat between 1100 and 1500. Today is my first day and I've managed 1700. I don't really have an issue with dinner, but making breakfast and lunch bigger is a challenge. I would prefer my cals be healthy sources. Any tips or should I go up…

I exercise 5 days a week, 2-3 of those days I do weights at the gym +20-30 mins cardio, then other days I do walking/jogging, a workout video like kick…

Ladies how often do you lift?
I recently started trying to get into the swing of things with adding in strength training to my workouts. I have been at least 6wks and things are tightening up a bit but I'm just curious how often you strength train and go up on weight? For example I started off at 5lbs on bicep curls doing 3 sets of 10. Now I can do 2…

Do you know an unlicensed nutritionist?
Not really but she acts like it. I've been trying to lose weight and it's been a process but she blames my slow progression on it on being vegetarian and tofu. I like tofu but I only eat it once a week at most. I have been trying to lose weight long before being vegetarian or flexitarian. My last success was the shake/meal…

Not sure why my thread was locked (admins did not let me know!) but I think it had some good responses so I'd like to get some more. PLEASE if you want to debate factory farming or something else please don't here because I don't want this thread to get locked too! When I say I am vegetarian why does the other person…

Knee issues? Stiffness
I've been having some knee issues recently. I think it's due to sitting cross legged on the floor or with my legs straight out (I prefer to do my homework on the floor since I don't have near enough room on a desk). I've since stopped that, but I noticed whenever I do that my knees will hurt later on for a few days and…

how much protein are you eating?
I see so many poor people here saying someone told them to eat tons of protein to lose, but so many of them I see basically living off of protein shakes or eating far too many calories. So I am wondering how much protein you all eat and are still losing wright. If you are not losing weight, you need not comment. Thanks.

dont eat meat ever again!
When I say I am vegetarian why does the other person assume that I just asked them to not eat meat? I don't understand that. Or why they need to bring up how much they "love"bacon or say "mmmm burgers" as if I cannot have them? I can, I can have vegetarian ones or I can go get one made out of meat. I choose not to eat…

The Protein Myth
I have to rattle a cage. It seems to be "common knowledge" on mfp that everyone needs loads of protein to A. Lose fat, and B. Increase strength and that it's imperative that normal people have a protein shake after each strength work out. I'm not talking about heavy lifting, I'm talking about your basic run of the mill…

Build Muscle while calorie deficit?
I just started doing strenght training 3 days a week this week, light weights high reps for now. I'll increase the weight as i feel comfortable and after a few weeks revise my plan. I do cardio 5 days a week. I don't log here on mfp since I don't like the whole eat back calories, ect thing because it throws me off so I'm…

vegan weightloss how?
I was wondering if anyone had an ideas or good resources on losing weight on a vegan diet like websites or books. I've been struggling and I think one issue may be portion control but I'm not sure if that's all it. I was wondering what my macros should be at. Right now I average 250 g of carbs of day so I was thinking…

Calories v. TDEE and BMR?
So I have mfp set for me to net around 1400 calories a day. I calculated my BMR which is about 1550, so if I didn't do much all day that's how much I'd supposedly burn. Then I was calculating my TDEE and I selected light exercise because I just started back to exercising, even though I work out more than 3 days a week now…

Does anyone have any thoughtful suggestions on how to do this? I must tell you that I am also vegan so I'm looking to cut down on breads and grains, not vegetable carbs and increase my protein a bit.

workout "buddies"
Does anyone else have any unwanted, annoying workout "buddies"? I'm talking about the people that always claim they want to workout with you but of course, it has to be on their schedule, and if you don't workout with them, for some odd reason that means they can't go work out alone? Not to mention you have to slow down…

Wrong Bra Size ladies?
I was mind-blown yesterday. So I had some coupons so I went to VS and tried some on. They just didn't fit right, I noticed for a bit now my bras were fitting weird but I didn't think much of it, I have several bras from VS and Aerie. I gave them back to the girl at the dressing room and she asked if I'd been fitted, I said…

Knee issues, diet
So I'm having some knee issues doing any cardio, they seem quite sensitive which isn't normal, even with my normal activity. I think it may be nutrition related. Since going vegan I get very little calcium or vitamin D. Maybe I'm missing something else too. I try and eat healthy but I know I do not eat enough leafy greens.…
