Post what is on your mind.

Such as:

How you are feeling.

What you did today

Or anything else you'd like.

 

For example, I have been awake for 30+ hours and i'm feeling quite horrible. Ughhh

I used to deal with insomnia. I was awake for days on end, and a max of 13 days. it really sucked, and yet, in some sort of wierd way, at the time, it was kinda neat. go to bed!

i'm a 26/male. i weigh 150. I'm not very active at all, and it's telling me that i need 2433 calories per day to maintain my weight.

Though... i do have a super fast metabolism or something, because, for example, yesterday in total i consumed 4218 calories, and burned an estimated 2012, and yet i'm still not gaining any weight... so i'm not sure what kind of insight that gives anyone for the acuracy of the calculators. but i figured i'd reply, because i didn't get 720.

Make sure you check you diet start and end dates. I think that has something to do with it.

I'm 26, by the way.
I've just become a member yesterday, so my activity and food log doesn't have much detail quite yet.

Today for Breakfast and a snack, I've consumed about 1200 calories, and burned about 1700, though my day is still incomplete. I'm sure I'll at least double what calories I've consumed by the end of today. I can post a reply at the days end. Or.. can I make my log info public?

I do eat more junk foods than I should. Lots of pepsi. Lots of fatty foods. Cheddar cheese, cheese burgers, brats, etc. I grew up in Wisconsin on a dairy farm. Whole milk, eggs, and greasy deep fried foods consist of a lot of my diet, but also lots of fresh vegetables and fruit. I know i don't drink nearly enough water. In fact, honestly most days my water intake come from my pepsi consumtion or the occasional beer.

I would say that I'm comfortable with how I look, but I'm up for some change. As a 6'1" 26 year old, I feel insecure about how difficult it is for me to lift more than 50lbs, or 20lbs repeatedly.
My goal is to build and maintain muscle and body mass. Girls often say to me their jealous of me and my body because it's one that they would be happy with... and I'd much rather be complimented for having an attractive male body, not a feminine one.

I'm not doing any weight training right now, but i DID attend military school 7 years ago. I was there for 5 1/2 months and had to do very vigorous physical training every day for a minimum of 2 hours daily, and 20 mile road marches were a weekly thing. We rotates from stretches, to one area of the body to another, as to not stress the body too much.
In the 5 1/2 months i was there i went from 130 to about 145, 150. And when I left, i was back down to  130 in about a month. In the 7 years since, I've been able to go up 20 pounds... but there I stopped. I figured even if I was not weight training i'd still gain SOME kind of weight, if even just the unwanted kind...
