Help from Mods, please: re TDEE & Fitbit
I have also posted about this in the forums, but thought you guys might have a better insight: After reading your information re TDEE vs BMR and calorie intakes, I'm adjusting my calorie requirements on MFP to a higher level manually (I currently have MFP set to lose 0.5kg a week which gives me 1450 calories per day for).…

TDEE & Fitbit
After doing quite a lot of information re TDEE vs BMR and calorie intakes, I'm adjusting my calorie requirements on MFP to a higher level manually (I currently have MFP set to lose 0.5kg a week which gives me 1450 calories per day for). However, I just need a little clarification from people who have a little more…

Weight Lifting Calories Consumed Question
This is probably a bit of a silly question, but I just need clarification. When people on here are talking about how many calories they consume whilst weight lifting, are they talking about the calories they've actually physically eaten, or what calories they've consumed after MFP adjustments (e.g. you physically ate 1900…

My double-choc protein balls
I've been making these for a while, adapted from a recipe I found online somewhere. They are sooooo good! A girlfriend asked me for the recipe for these the other day, so I thought I'd post it here too. Ingredients: * 1/2 cup of canned unsalted kidney beans – drained and rinsed (I use Coles brand red kidney beans) * 1/8…

Study - lack of exercise responsible for weight gain
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2014-07/ehs-len070714.php Thoughts? I'm personally a believer of eating less and moving more...the old calories in vs calories out...

New to lifting - which gloves?
So, call me Missy Princess Palms :blushing: , but I've recently started lifting and have determined I will need some weight lifting gloves to protect my little lady hands :ohwell: . The question is, what should I be looking for in a set of gloves? I've done a bit of research and there are a variety of types including…

What do you think of this program?
I have a Torque F7 (http://torquefitness.com/residential/products/f7-fold-away-strength.html) at home and have discovered (with the help of my MFP friends on here) that it's not much use for the SL5X5 workouts (which I was quite looking forward to starting). So I've been googling to find a routine that will give me a…

Stronglifts 5X5: Question re Weight Increments?
Hi guys, I'm intending on starting out on Stronglifts 5X5 today and I have a Torque F7, which has two independent weight stacks that are operated by a cable system: The F7 has a bar attachment included so I can do all the lifts on it. I'm just worried about how to introduce the weight increases that the program asks for?…

Question re Weight Increments
Hi guys, I'm intending on starting out on Stronglifts 5X5 today and I have a Torque F7, which has two independent weight stacks that are operated by a cable system: My problem is that the plates on each side of the machine go up by 10lb per plate (i.e. if I move up a plate size I will move up a total of 20lb per increase)…

Australian DEXA Scans???
Hi, I'm seriously considering getting a DEXA scan so I can see my current bodyfat percentage and then do another once I reach goal so I can see exactly how much progress I've made (aside from the obvious physical changes...) I have a couple of questions: * The first question is how long does a DEX scan take, and what is…

Stomach Vaccums
So, I've read a few times recently (on here and other sites) that doing stomach vacuums is highly effective for reducing waist size: http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/detail/view/name/stomach-vacuum[\url} and I have a couple of questions: 1 - Isn't this basically the same thing as sucking your gut in? 2 - Has anyone on…
