stolen stollen ??
Do Stolen calories count?? Some back story: SO loves his stollen, I can take it or leave it normally. This week at the supermarket he picked some up, got home and took a bite.

Eating at Maintenence
I keep seeing this phrase and I'm sure I'm going to sound dumb on this question - but what is eating at maintence? How do I figure out how many calories that is? I'd like to move to maintence for the next couple of months. I'm getting close to goal and want to start thinking through maintence, not losing. Thanks.

Hi MFP community! Any people with stats similar to mine...could you please tell me how much you eat in a day? And also how much you lose on an average? I started off at a MFP-set number of 1430.

Least hungry in the morning, most hungry at night
I have this problem where when I wake up in the morning I'm at my least hungry, but as the day goes on I get hungrier. At nighttime, I always want to snack. I'm assuming that part of the reason I'm not hungry in the morning, usually, is because I'm digesting still from the night before. Is this true? I'm making an effort…
