230 lbs Down in 20 months!!-And still going STRONG!
Where do I start? A lifetime of Morbid Obesity- 2 failed Baratric Surgeries (1990 Stomach Stapling- 2014 Roux-En-Y). Then 23 months ago I knew my life was going to change as my now Ex asked for a Divorce. A switch snapped in my head- And I am on a Mission-- to be ME--and be content. When people tell you you can't-- YOU…

Can MFP show me how many oz or cups I’ve had?
I am trying to keep my meals below 1 cup / 8 oz. Sometimes I measure and enter the food that way, so that’s easy. But sometimes I just enter “1 serving” (of crackers for example), or “1 slice” (for instance, of bread), or even just “1” (egg, for example). A lot of times I know how many grams each item is, or maybe even how…

How can I up my caloric intake without adding fat or sugar to my diet?
I am having gallbladder problems- and will be having my gallbladder removed January 3rd. I have lost around 30 lb in the past two and a half weeks and realized I'm pretty much on a starvation diet. I can't have much sugar or fat as it bothers my gallbladder- also not any white flower. Does anyone have any foods that are…

Is it the training or my eating?
Over the last year, I put on a good chunk of mass, reaching 185lbs at my heaviest; I went up 20 pounds between the start of 2020 and early 2021. I cut this summer, dropping down to the 175lbs range, however now that it's winter I was looking to go back up in weight. This last month, I switched trainers as my old one was…

Understanding the basics
Hey all, I have multiple questions which will essentially allow me to understand way better of what I’m exactly doing to lose weight. 1) why does the “Macro” and “nutrients” tabs have different intake values ? 2) why do my calories up (allow me to eat more) depending what protein/total fat intake I have? 3) I’ve seen a…

On track until I get home from work! Help!
I have been counting calories now for a few weeks but I struggle so bad when I get home from work. I do so well for breakfast and lunch and a few snacks, but when I get home, I want to just eat everything. Then I just spiral for the rest of the night because I “blew it”. Any tips or advice?

How to hit my carb intake (MACROS)
Im a carb-aholic ...when it comes to eating. Only when Im being moderate and healthy I cant hit my carbs. Mostly because if I add in the "bad carbs" to fill the carbs then Im over on sodium or calories. I guess the real probelm is I dont know enough "healthy" carbs to make the most of my meals. Any pointers or guiders.

Inconsistent available calories between app and website!
This morning, the MFP website was down. I refreshed it after about an hours, and it was back up. I signed in, and the one food I logged was not yet syncrhonized. I refreshed a couple of times after opening the app, and it finally showed up, and funny enough it also showed up reflecting the exercise adjustment. My app,…

If you’re eating less than 1500 calories, you’re not healthy.
Unpopular opinion from a former ED patient, but an average teen/young adult needs at least 2300 calories. Once you become and adult, that number only gets a couple hundred calories lower. I get that people have different metabolisms, but if you’re intuitively eating (eating when you’re hungry, stopping when you’re full)…

Ignore my old post. Let’s talk (educatedly) about holiday food!
I see a lot of people on these forums say that they’re so nervous for the holidays, and they’re afraid they’ll gain weight from eating holiday meals. It reminds me of the old ED forums where the people would have full-on panic attacks about the holidays. It even reminds me of myself, terrified of being caught doing…

Need… More… Protein!
While I’m not as afraid of going over my calorie goal as I used to be, I still want to maintain my 1700-1800 limits while still reaching my protein goals. Too often I find myself going over my carb goal, while having barely gotten half of my protein for the day! I love carbs and I’ll forever stand by them, but I want to…

WEIGHT LOSS Frequently Asked Questions: Infographic Answers
So rather than overwhelm people with walls of text, I've been slowly gathering a couple of infographics either that I've made myself or that are posted regularly on the boards that might make it easier for noobs to see how things work. I'll start with a couple and add more over time. If anyone else has any good ones please…

So you're new here...
I've spammed this in hundreds of threads... I figured it was about time to give this info a permanent home. 1. don't trust the initial setup that MFP provides. If you put in the wrong/inaccurate information, it'll tell you to eat an amount that may not be applicable. 2. Make sure you eat enough. 3. Figure out what works…
