Selecting Food Entries
I eat pretty close to TDEE, so the wrong entry on a high caloric item easily makes a huge difference in my weekly deficit, especially if it's a frequent item in my diet. I'm usually pretty good at spotting correct entries (for ex, I prioritize entries with drop down options that seem to be from the nutritiondata website).…

Help with TDEE/Fitbit/Heybales Spreadsheet
Alright, I've been at this before but it seems that after baby #2, I need to constantly remind myself that less isn't always better.

Lifiting at home
Hi guys! :) I wish I could go to the gym and lift weights, but that's not an option right now. I'm searching for ways to lift at home and maximizing my results. I use a DVD and the lady does a very good job covering upper and lower body. Perhaps it won't equal what I might get at the gym, but you do what you gotta do with…
