How many calories do you eat to lose weight?
Hi tall girls! I was wondering how many calories everyone eats to lose weight. I am 5'10" and weigh 150lbs. Eating 1300 a day so far has helped me lose weight. However, MFP tells me I should be eating about 1500, but that feels like a lot to me.

30 Day Slim Down Variation :)
Hi all! My name is Annelies and I am new to this group :) I have about 15 lbs to lose. I did 30DS a few years ago and saw great improvements in strength, not in weight. I do remember getting really really bored doing the same thing every day and giving up a few times because of that. So... I found a plan created by Jillian…

What do you think of my workout routine?
So I work out at home, and have a set of dumbbells that go up to 50 lbs each, 100 lbs total. I have been doing several different exercises for a couple of weeks that I found here and there (nothing structured). I have slowly been integrating this into a program that I think I can do.

A pound a month, now its back

Is fat really that bad?
So, I have my macros set to 40% carb, 30% fat and 30% protein. Is it really bad if I am closer to 40% on fat? I eat 2 eggs and an avocado and I'm already there! I am having a hard time upping my protein because I don't like meat, but other things that give me protein (like yogurt and nuts) make the fat % go up too high.…

TDEE-20% is lower than my BMR!
Hi everyone, I have a calories question. I've heard people say that eating TDEE-20% is a good way to go. My TDEE is 2000, so my TDEE-20% is 1600. However, I've also heard that you should never eat less than your BMR because you will go into starvation mode. My BMR is 1800! How can my BMR be so high? I've checked it on…
