Moving up your calories really works!
I wrote a topic asking others if I should move up my calories to 1500 because I was eating about 1200-1300. I was really scared to eat anything more out of fear of gaining weight. I was stuck in the 150's and couldn't move out of it. So after moving up my calories, I have lost 2 pounds and it feels amazing. Not only have I…

Is my calorie setting ok?
I used the BMR calculator online which told me my BMR was somewhere around 1850 or something so I subtracted 500 and got 1386. I'm also exercising 3-5 times a week and only eating my burned calories when I am really hungry. Am I doing this right? or am I eating too many calories?

Net calories

So I earn those calories back. Looking at my diary, it says "net" calories. The thing is net calories are different than the calories from food. Which…

So, I've been working out 5-6 times a week and found the calorie intake that is perfect for me and I have lost now 5 pounds so far in a month.
