I...Thanks for the links to the calorie calculators! I have been using MFP and I know the calories they calculate are too low for me, but your post just confirmed it. I have been adding more cals in, plus adding in for workouts too.<br /><br />One question though about the number of calories that I need based on the IIFYM calculator since this number is so much higher than my original number in MFP...do I still need to add in more calories after workouts (like MFP does for you when you log in your workouts) or should I just strictly stick to the calculated number from IIFYM and not add in more for my workouts?<br /><br />Hopefully you can help me figure this all out!Fit Sweaty Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04665590716404234687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983278742244274182.post-13011171769134393422013-07-25T08:46:02.697-07:002013-07-25T08:46:02.697-07:00I don't know why, but I always have a hard tim...I don't know why, but I always have a hard time understanding this calorie deficit thing. I think mainly because when I enter my eats and moves into MFP, it subtracts my move's calories from my eat's calories and telling me I have more calories I can eat. I'd love to see a simple post on this! Thanks :-)Jacquelyn @justjacqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15969922596350549484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983278742244274182.post-38698340899546631772013-07-25T07:17:07.432-07:002013-07-25T07:17:07.432-07:00Oh my goodness..
I can't tell you how much I ...Oh my goodness..<br /><br />I can't tell you how much I love this post. I stumbled over here from SkinnyMeg and read this, and all I want to say is THANK YOU for setting the record straight with people, and being living proof that it is true!<br /><br />My degree is in Human Nutrition, and I can't tell you how frustrating it is when people go on and on about how good low to zero carb diets, high protein diets, high fat diets (seriously?), carb cycling methods, etc are to gain muscle and shed fat, and they think this is a healthy lifestyle approach. Sticking to the lower end of the 45-65% carbs? No problem. But 5-10% carbs? Come on. Balance. You NEED all 3 macros to live, and you need them to be properly distributed across your diet for a long and healthy life. <br /><br />Thanks Erica - I am already loving your blog! ps. you are gorgeous!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02856367583006176739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983278742244274182.post-44704082024876957902013-07-25T06:39:11.980-07:002013-07-25T06:39:11.980-07:00Hey Miss Erica!

And that pup, LOVE! :) SO here is my question for you. I have a fabulous desk job for 9 hours a day and live 45 min away from said desk job. So including a lunch break I am gone 11 hours a day. I lost over 30 lbs last year before I started working full time and now eventhough I'm getting up and working out 3 days a week nothing seems to be happening! I don't know how to incorporate all I need to be eating (which I am extremely picky) and working out into this lifestyle (enter mommy guilt). I get home at 7-8 most nights and hate eating that late when I try to be in bed by 11. Help! :) Lucky in Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222546985141422854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983278742244274182.post-82477886928735016552013-07-25T04:23:17.534-07:002013-07-25T04:23:17.534-07:00This is all interesting.
