Garbanzo chickpeas
Hi all, So I've been a big fan of the Garbanzo dry roasted chickpeas for some time now. I nearly always have a lack with my lunch, and sometimes when I cba to find anything else I'll have an extra bag as a snack! However. I've been logging these as 88cals...and have now found out that these have been mis-labelled and are…

Gaining too fast - anyone with experience??
Hi guys, I need a bit of advice as having a MAJOR wobble! I won't bore you with my whole backstory, but the past few months look like this: eating around 1700 cal per day, exercising 4x per week (mix of BBG circuits and lifting, more BBG though). Basically maintaining my weight at just under 47kg, 5"3 - so I needed to…

Train Eat Gain/ Trinity Programme
Does anyone here have any experience with Train Eat Gain's Trinity programme, or any of their other programmes? It looks fab, but I want to do my research before I commit the money!

Which fitness tracker??
I'm looking into getting a fitness tracker to give me a better idea of how many calories I'm burning. After doing my internet research, however, I'm suffering from information overload and feeling very muddled! I'm looking for a tracker that will give me accurate calories estimations for things like cycling and hiit…

Gained an inch on my thighs in a week??
Hi everyone, I have been maintaining/slowly gaining on 16-1700 cals for the past 5 months, while lifting heavy 4x a week and running 2-3 x a week. This is under what I should be maintaining on so is a problem in itself! Last Sunday I'd been feeling huge for the past few days so measured myself for peace of mind - I'd…

Hungry all the time??
So after a period of relative restriction (in quasi-recovery after 5 years of anorexia, and having already gained 12kg) I began upping my calories in September to around 1700 a day (as a weekly avergae - sometimes less, sometimes more but it evens out). I also began heavy weight lifting 4x a week in November and have seen…

Confused about body fat
At somewhere in between 5"3 and 5"4, I currently weight about 48 kilos, putting me just inside the healthy range. However my body fat is at 17.7% according the the machine at my gym (I had just finished a workout and had breakfast so not sure if this makes the results look lower too) While I understand this is inside the…

Weight redistribution - any recovered/recovering anorexics on here?
I've been maintaining a nearly weight-restored bmi of about 17.5-18 (46 kg, from 37 last year) since December now, and although I know I have maybe a kilo or two to go I was hoping that my body would have started to respond by now. I was hoping for my period, boobs, sex drive, more even weight distribution - however none…

Rate of weight gain?
I've been in recovery from anorexia since April, and in that time have gained about 7kg - I think I'm now at 43 kg, although I can't be certain as my scales at home are different from the doctors. Is this too fast? I'm learning to be accepting of my body and can just about manage the way it is, but I don't want to continue…

From one disorder to another?
This is my first port on MFP, and I could really do with some advice! I have suffered from anorexia for the past few years, and things came to a head when I reached a dangerously low weight and was admitted to hospital and threatened to be put into an inpatient unit. For the past two months I have been putting on weight -…
