How many calories should I eat on work out days?
** TLDR; How many calories should I eat on work out days in order to be able to add weight each session, while trying to lose weight? How does my routine look? Any suggestions on how to get over myself and get rid of gym nerves? Can anyone recommend a decent free app to track my work outs? ** First off I'll give you my…

Fallen off the wagon in a big way. I am devistated.
After 60 days of eating clean and kicking *kitten* at the gym I have lost a 15 lbs. Never before have I lost more than 2lbs. I was so energetic and loving my healthy life style. I was under a lot of stress last week which has resulted in a 5 days binge. And it has not been pretty. I'm confident that over the past 5 days I…
How do I maintain my muscles? Can't get to gym for 1 month
I'll keep this one short and sweet. How do I maintain my muscles? Currently living abroad but will be moving back home in just under 4 weeks. Gym membership has run out, can't afford to renew it. Can't buy dumbells as I don't have the money and wouldn't be able to take them home with me. Luckily the majority of the…
Weight lifting woes + multiple bonus questions
Please bare with me, as I try to voice my many questions in a comprehendable manner :P I'm a female, 22, currently weighing in at 134lbs (17lbs lost!). I eat 1600 calories a day and have a healthy and balanced diet. I started lifting about 2 and half months ago and have experienced fantastic and quick results from doing…
Going over calorie limit...On grapes and watermelon?
This may or may not sound silly but I've gone over my daily calorie goal by about 200 calories in watermelon and grapes (I was so hungry between lunch and dinner I had to eat something!). Will this slow down my weight loss? A calorie is a calorie right? Or will this not be as detrimental because they are not processed…
Should I eat less now that I weight less to continue losing?
Currently I eat 1500 calories a day. My diet consists mainly of white meat, fish and vegetables. But don't worry the carbs are there too. I lift 3 times a week and usually do about 20-25 mins on the elipical before these sessions. Usually on my gym days I eat more and it works out a 1500ish with cardio taken into account.…
Cardio exercises for a lass with a busted foot???
TLDR: Busted my achilles tendon jogging. How long until I can jog again? Will this become a chronic condition? What cardio exercises can I do without putting strain on my foot? I've recently gotten into jogging, broken through the wall and found an exercise that I enjoy and makes me feel good about myself. I'd accomplished…
Protein woes - I am eating enough to build muscle?
I am 5ft 6 female and weigh 142lbs, I strength train at the gym 3 times a week in order to build muscle to promote fat loss and to gain strength. I know in order to gain muscle you have to consume your body weight or just about in grams of protein (or something along those lines). I manage to consume between 100-170 grams…
Can any recommend an offline GPS tracker app?
I have an Iphone and have recently got into jogging. I'm looking for an app that can record the distance I run, if it can record my speed as well that's a bonus. I'm living abroad right now so unfortuneatly my mobile data is switched off at all times and as i'm jogging I can't connect to any wifi networks. I've just gotten…
An aspect of keto I don't quite understand..
I just posted this question to food and nutrition but was informed I'd be better off posting it here! (Obviously) :) I've read a lot about keto and seen some fantastic weight loss results in people on this diet. However there's just one thing I'm having a bit of trouble understanding and that's consuming between 25-50grams…
An aspect of keto I don't quite understand..
I've read a lot about keto and seen some fantastic weight loss results in people on this diet. However there's just one thing I'm having a bit of trouble understanding and that's consuming between 25-50grams of carbohydrates a day. There are 11 grams of carbohydrates in a banana, even my vegtable smoothie which consists of…
Low calorie choice at an Indian restaurant?
Hey ya'll! What do you guys do when there is a special occassion that revolves around eating out or drinking? I feel like if I want to achieve my weight loss goals I'm going to have to miss out on a lot of events. Every time I go out with my friends I know that by drinking I will completely ruin all my hard work in just a…
Sharing time: Embarrassing gym stories
I'm the sort of person that will dwell on that embarrassing memory from high school that happened 5 years ago and still cringe! I'm quite self conscious and I find the gym very intimidating. I've just begun lifting and this for me is quite nerve racking as it means I'll be in the heavy weights room with the big boys! Which…
