Thanks @1964Hall 
yes, you’re right they do have sucrose in them. Mine taste more on the salty but I think I will purchase a ‘keto’ electrolyte now - I’ve also seen a new magnesium spray which absorbs into the skin faster so I’ll buy that today too.
KCKO - trying not to lose the faith! :(

Thank you @LeCheffre that is some interesting feedback which I will take on board. I don’t use the gym, it’s all at home workouts with basic equipment. So when I do a HIIT I shouldn’t enter it into My Fitness Pal as a calorie count or leave it out?
Also, we tried measuring in inches and converting weight to pounds but because we’re Antipodians it was hard to maintain haha 
I will relook at my workout schedule today

You shouldn’t worry about the calorie count of HIIT for any type of CICO estimation, because what you do as the active part of the exercise is a small portion of the total caloric effect. Log it, but I find the more stuff I put into MFP, the more I get sucked into MFP’s assumptions.
It is possible to over train. That’s bad.

@LeCheffre - Aha I see - yes you’re right about getting sucked into their assumptions. Should I keep on keeping on with the HIIT & Resistance exercises? (I’m not into running (hurt myself every time) and have no cardio equipment at home) I have a goal to lose at the minimum 1kg per week for a family reunion in 5-weeks.

Keep on with the exercise. Keep records of what you do. Try to set a new high each session. Alternate resistance days with HIIT days. Work a defined program. Keep records. Switch it up every 4-6 weeks due to periodization effects. Take a week off every couple of months. Also, periodization.

MFP will let you set your profile to use lbs. or kgs. You shouldn’t have to calculate that part at all.
MFP’s activity tracker is famous for being way off. If you have an activity device like a fitbit or similar use that or you could try a calculator like this one based on heart rate average while working out. The site also has walking and running burn calculators as well.
