CALORIES TO AIM FOR EACH DAY = 1892 Cals - (if I exercise over 400cals I need to add the extra to this).
TDEE= 2266 - don't go above
Laura , just been reading your little bit about BMR on your signature ... so do you go off this rather than mfps goals? as i only eat 1200 cals a day ... am i being silly, should i be eating more? xxxx

Claire I've read through loads of the threads and more people than not are finding out their tdee, subtracting 15% and aiming for that number. Read one of the eat more to loss threads, or go to the groups and look for a eat more group. It really is amazing. MFP had me set at a much lower cal to maintain, I've upped it and more times than not i've eaten around 1800cals a day, I've maintained this week even with a wedding. Have a look through loads of the threads, it really makes you think! If you don't wanna up your cals in the settings, definately eat back some if not all your exercise cals. Loads of the threads warn that you'll prob gain at first but then start losing again. x

TDEE = total daily energy expenditure - it is the energy you use on any given day, it takes into account your exercise so you don't have to think about eating back exercise cals.
I think I may be addicted to looking all this stuff up lol

I think the ratios are 40% protein, 30%carbs, 30%fats. Carbs are your healthy fruits and veg, pastas, breads, rice and grains (as far as I can see), its hard to reach these targets for a while though, I'm still trying. Basically its eating a well rounded meal at each meal I THINK.
For the weight training I do some kettlebell stuff at home and then I use my body weight for the rest like push-ups, pull ups, squats, lunges and things. There really is so much learning to do isn't there. You think you know most of it till you read some of the posts.
Claire if you can't figure out what you should do, post your stats on that thread and someone will help x

Ya no ive never eaten avacado frances .. Hehe, is it nice?
Cheers laura ... I bet my diabetes consultant wouldn't be happy with 30g carbs a day hahaaa, id be forever going low on energy ... Its mad to think how you could limit carbs to 30g tho, esp wen thats the equivalent to two slices of medium bread.. I bet youd end up almost doing the atkins diet ... It sounds effective tho xxxxxxx
