Heidi Powell Blog Post of BMR...kind of totally false?
http://heidipowell.net/5366/all-about-calories/ Thoughts? Sounds to me like she is getting TDEE and BMR very confused. It's frustrating because all sorts of people are commenting that they need to start eating like, 1,000 calories in order to lose weight. .

Sick after running long distances
I am training for a half marathon...I've been at it for quite a few months now, mixing in running a few times a week with crossing training and weights. Anyways, the other day I did a 20 km trail run...Somewhat farther than I have run before. It went pretty well. Felt kinda tanked after 10 km but finished in about 2:08. So…

Nutrition Facts don't add up..
I bought some Joe's Plantain chips. Nutrition label says serving size is 40 grams, 100 calories. The macro break down says there is 20 grams of carbs and 12 grams of fat in the serving.... (1 gram of carb has 4 calories, 1 gram of fat has 9, right?) Am I missing something? Is the calorie label just totally off?

Upping Calories for last few pounds
I am about a pound away from my goal weight of 145 pounds at 5 '9. I might try to lose an extra 5-10 pounds but for now I think I've come to the point where I know I should up my calories. I workout about 5-6 days a week for about an hour, mix of strength and cardio and I have been eating around 1500 calories a day. I…

Do you sweat during your weight lifting session?
I do weight training in the gym on a typical day for about 45 minutes (usually followed by another 45 mins of cardio) but I find I really don't sweat a lot during the weight lifting, unless it's leg day. :P During my sets I feel like I'm working really hard, but by the end of the 45 minutes I usually feel a bit bummed that…

Would you look the same at same weight-older/younger age?
Complicated title I know. :) Just curious..was talking to a friend about this... Hypothetically, if someone weighed 145 pounds at the age of 16 (well developed), would they look the same at the same weight at 25? (lets say the height didn't change) I realize this can be very broad, but what are your thoughts?

Painful hunger, even right after eating
So lately, I've been doing really well...eating clean, working out, eating enough, but for the fast few days I have a constant hunger pain in my stomach, even after eating a 400 calorie meal.

eating clean... too much fruit?
:bigsmile: I'm trying my best to eat clean. I've run into a few problems.. 1 being that I have a hard time finding enough of a variety of food and 2, filling up even 1200 calories a day is hard!

Not losing weight.....:( :(
So I started dieting about three weeks ago.... It started off great! I lost about 4 pounds in the first little while. But for the past week and a half or so, I haven't lost a thing! I am eating very strictly 1200 calories and working out about an hour a day. It is getting kind of frustrating. This morning I had even gained…
