Circuit Training Question
Hi all. I have been thinking about ramping up my workout routine with a few days that include circuit training. My regular routine has been to mostly do just cardio---4 to 5 days a week--1000 cal. burn or more on cardio machines. I would occasionally add in a few weight machines to do arms, but no real strength training, I…

This was so yummy, I had to share. Quinoa recipe...
I made this tonight and it was SOOOOOO good. (Even my kiddos loved it) I did it individual baking dishes, so the following is how to do one individual serving--though you could just multiply it all by how many people and do it in a bigger casserole dish. Quinoa Lasagna with Ground Turkey 1 Cup cooked quinoa (when you cook…

Net cals.
On average, how many cals do you net? Today, my net cals are like -25 at the moment. But I have eaten close to 1200 calories. Is eating more necessary?

My intake and net cals...
Okay. Help a girl out. I ate roughly 1400 calories today. Seems plenty of food. Almost all was whole foods--apples, banana, natural peanut butter, minestrone made with tons of veggies, oatmeal bread, etc... I also worked out. (Yeah me LOL). My net cals are only about 140. Do I really need to eat back some more exercise…

How do I accurately log this?
Hi there. So...tomorrow I am doing a pot roast in the crockpot. I am doing a roast with loads of carrots, mushrooms, onions and some potato with a seasoning packet (15 cals per serving, 8 servings per packet). I am serving it over egg noodles for my family. I will only be eating the vegetables and some of the broth. I can…

I need a calorie guru to help me.
I have been keeping my food diary and with foods I prep at home and brand names, I find it very easy to log calories. Last night we went out to an Italian Restaurant for our anniversary (17 years!). I had 1792 cals left for the day that I could possibly use. My daily goal is 1520 net cals and I had a good 700 plus calorie…

How low is too low? Net cals.
Okay. Hi everyone. I am new to MFP as of August 1st. I am not a stranger to weight loss, but new to this site and community. I have been up well over 300 pounds in the past. I have lost 120 pounds in the past as well. I have gained back some, but not even half of what I had lost. I totally own that. My mother had taken…
