Activity Level - Clear examples?
Hmm well I think I'm going to try to do Moderate (2800 to lose a pound a week) and see how that works. When I first started I used light to be on the safe side. After about a month I started feeling light headed, tired, and susceptible to binging. I was always hungry. No matter how much I worked out I would stay at the same weight for weeks. Any slip up days (cheat day and they weren't regular) I would gain 2-3lbs, which should be water weight, but it would take 2 weeks to just lose the weight. I'm guessing I was in starvation mode. I think I was under estimating how much activity I do during the day. Lets see how the increase calories work, maybe I'll lose, maybe I'll gain.

Activity Level - Clear examples?
Anyone have some good examples of activity level when calculating daily intake of calories? (What I think is considered to be)

Sedentary: little or no exercise (sitting almost all day except for basic walking)

Lightly Active: light exercise or sports 1-3 days/week (sports like golf, bowling, horse shoes, and exercises like light walking (2mph) for 30min, gardening, and cleaning)

Moderately Active: moderate exercise or sports 3-5 days/week (sports like softball, dodge ball and exercises like walking (3-4mph) for 30min, cardio machines with heart rate in fat zone (30min), swimming)

Very Active: intense exercise or sports 6-7 days/week (sports like basketball, football, tennis and exercises like jogging/running, cardio with heart rate in cardio zone, swimming laps)

Extra Active: very intense daily exercise or sports & physical job or twice daily training (Pretty much Very Active with a physically demanding job or twice a day work outs)

That sound about right? I ask because the difference between light and moderate for me is 400 calories (6'1", 225lbs, 25/male).

Eggs - They grow carbs when scrambled?
My mom always used to add milk to scrambled eggs, which of course has sugar in it. Only thing I could think of.

What is that weekend weight?
I agree with the feeling like shit. I have been working hard to make all my meals and reduce my intake of processed foods. For the last months I've been doing a really good job. I'll eat fast food and just feel like I have the flu! My body feels gross and I want to throw up.

The site doesn't work for me on Chrome, but it works on Firefox.

Okay that sounds about right. Nice to have a bit of info and relieve some of the mystery behind the gain.

@russellb97: Wow, very informative. I also was thinking the same thing "At least I will have plenty of energy for my workout now"
