Eat back exercise calories or eat at TDEE -20%
I'm confused on this. I have my calorie goal at 1550. According to several calculators my TDEE is around ~1933. If I calculate TDEE less 20% for fat loss, the amount is ~1545.

Throwing up after hard physical exercise

Anyone read the book "The Belly Fat Cure"?
I watched an episode of Rachael Ray and saw she was promoting a book by Jorge Cruise called "The Belly Fat Cure". This book talks about cutting back sugars dramatically and reducing carbs. Has anyone read the book and actually followed it? Is is really a healthy way of eating to lose weight?

New to myfitnesspal...
Hi everyone. I started myfitnesspal on May 26 after realizing that I had gained 22 pounds in the past 3 months. Not only was I eating unhealthly (I'm a stress eater), but I wasn't excersing enough. Then I find out that I am pre-menopausal and have to start taking hormones. I'm hoping by combing a healthy diet, basic…
