I eat a LOT of food. Help with cutting?
Okay, so I weight lift (both heavy and circuit style) for about 1-2 hours every day along with about 20-30 minutes of cardio 2-3 times per week. I eat about 2000-2500 calories per day depending on activity (diary is open) and I eat about every 2 hours. I really want to start cutting because I have pretty good muscle…

Barbell Squat question
Okay so I have added barbell squats to my repertoire, and I thought my form was pretty good...but someone approached me the other day and asked me if I knew I wasn't supposed to let my knees go over my toes. I didn't think they were going over by much, but I've tried to do deep squats without going over my toes a bit and I…

Looking for dorky friends

Looking for active gamers?
So this sounds contradictory, but I'm looking for people who play pc games or console games that are active too. I'm currently a full time nursing student and I play roller derby. When I have any free time I like to play Starcraft and the like. Anyone else like me out there? :P

Any other women with higher calorie goals?
So My calorie goals are between 1800-2200. Any other females have these goals? I feel like I'm surrounded by either people who don't eat enough, or I just have a faster metabolism. I see men eating less than I do!

Sometimes I wonder why...
People don't use common sense with what they eat. If you're feeling hungry and having a mental battle whether or not you should eat a carrot or not, you need to calm DOWN. Sheesh.

Another intermittent fasting question
So I know there are questions everywhere about IF but I was wondering why everyone always skips breakfast instead of dinner? Does it matter? I've been meaning to try IF because I would like to avoid eating in the evenings which always seems to be my downfall. If I avoid eating in the evenings completely then I seem to be…

Can i make a suggestion if you can't lose weight? Might be h
Evaluate your diet and Stop eating so much dang processed food. You may only be eating 1200 calories a day but your body isn't getting the right nutrition it needs to support your metabolism and body function! Eating 1900 calories of healthy food with exercise will have much better results than a 1200 calorie diet of junk.…

I had a very large…

I'm no longer logging my calories..
I've found that the more I log my food the more I obsess over it...I generally eat pretty healthy but once I started logging every calorie I found myself binging more and actually started gaining weight...So I figure that since I'm in Iraq, and we are stuck on MRE's now for the final month of this deployment... Eating…
