How many calories doing calisthenics/bodyweight exercises?
I'm 5'4", weigh 146ish (depends on the day) and have started trying to maintain my weight. If I start to incorporate calisthenics with just a bit of cardio (about 20 minutes 3 times a week), how many calories should I be eating to tone and maybe even build muscle? I have calculated maintenance to be about 1875 with…

Portable elliptical?
http://www.amazon.com/Stamina-In-Motion-Elliptical-Trainer/dp/B00AQ7ZNEA I have one similar to this, but I don't think it gives me the same workout a gym elliptical gives. I tried looking it up in the database but couldn't find what I was looking for. My machine gives a basic idea of how many calories you burn (although it…

BMR and calories to lose
So far I feel like I've done well with losing weight, but I've been at this for 3 weeks and I still get hungry during the day. I was thinking at some point my body would get used to the reduction in calories, but it doesn't seem to be the case. My BMR is 1417, and if I were trying to reduce by 20% that would mean under…

Oatmeal...
Any suggestions for how to make oatmeal appeal to a non-oatmeal lover? I've tried Chocolate Covered Katie's chocolate oatmeal and rather like it, but I'd like some other options. Anyone have a favorite recipe?
