Eating estimated calories burned
I'm sure this topic has been discussed ad nauseum, but I poked around searching and couldn't find what I wanted. I have always ignored any estimated "calories burned" from machines, MFP, and my Fitbit. I just assume they are probably wrong, especially since I am hypothyroid and my metabolism is a bit sluggish. That said,…

When are you most/least hungry?
For me I am never hungry when I wake up. I’m not that hungry during the day. But at night I have to power through to stop eating. Then I go to sleep and a “miracle ” occurs. No matter how hungry I was when I went to sleep the hunger is gone when I awaken. This is true even if I wake up just an hour after going to sleep to…

Low sodium restaurant foods
It's been over two years since I last ate junk food or restaurant foods. Given that the national wastewater viral load (https://biobot.io/data/) shows the current surge to be the second worst, it will be some time before I return to the world of restaurant foods. One thing I don't miss about restaurant food is the…

Scanning sachet sauces
Hello, how do you count the calories on sachet sauces? Like the Schwartz or colmans? The packet is 44grams and then it says 100g prepared and 100g unprepared? So consider how to count the calories in these. Any help would be great as I love using these sachets

Rotisserie Chicken Weight Mystery
Yesterday, I bought a rotisserie chicken, weighed the entire container sans lid before happily tucking in. When I was done, I weighed the container again and logged the missing 247g of dark meat before putting in the fridge. Today, the total weight was about 100g less than when I'd put it away! And no - no one else was at…

Tracking opened your eyes to……???
What has tracking opened your eyes to? It made me realize how many extra calories I was eating by taking bites while preparing meals and/or eating what was left over when cleaning up meals. (Still calories even if no one sees you eat it - LOL) Even if I was plating my food sensibly- these before/after dinner bites were…

Protein makes me sick

No junk food for 2 years (and counting)
I've been avoiding all junk foods and restaurant foods since the spring of 2020. February 2020 was when I last ate candy or restaurant food. Early March 2020 was when I last ate ice cream. I think I last bought fish sticks sometime in April 2020. My motivation wasn't my weight, my figure, or my blood cholesterol. Instead,…

Low appetite
Does anyone else have a really low appetite? I really need to gain weight and my calorie goal is about 1650. If I eat 1300 in a day it’s enough to make me feel stuffed and bloated. High calorie foods like avocado/nuts/etc. just make me feel worse. Any tips for stimulating what little appetite I have?

Binging, so hungry...
I'm in the middle of a binge. I think I waited until too late in the day to start eating. I've probably eaten more than I normally would in two meals :( . On the bright side, a big chunk of it is fruit and I'm only maintaining, but if I can figure out how to fix this in the moment, it would be great. I'm also NOT currently…

Dietician/dietitian
