Anyone else waiting til the New Year to do a restart?
I know it's not a favorite thing to do, to put it off. But I've decided that's exactly what I'm going to do. My mind isn't where it needs to be at the moment and the holidays coming won't help that fact. So, New Year, New Start!!

Food for the holidays??
We're having 7 family members here for Christmas and planning on kind of a snacky light dinner type table. DH is making chili, there'll be meatballs, macaroni and cheese, brussel sprouts/cranberry dish, veggie tray, along with cheese ball, etc. It feels like we've done this so many times with the same old recipes, it's…

Eating for body type and blood type
There are so many diets out there that are easy to get caught up in. We are not designed to all eat the same way and what works you may not work for someone else. I'm 29 and have had hypothyroidism since I was 11. Fortunately I've always been somewhat careful and not gaining a ton of weight. I used to eat fast food and a…

WW calorie intake
I’ve recently started tracking my calories on MFP after using WW for a few weeks. Has anyone else had an issue with undereating calories on WW? I’ve had one cup of coffee and 2 slices of malt loaf with light spread and that’s half my points gone for the day, yet MFP tells me I’ve used just over 250 calories. For the most…

What’s your food weakness?
I’m curious as to what food(s) are your weakness that may otherwise be unhealthy and/or caused your weight gain. For me, it’s ramen noodles and pasta, pasta, pasta galore! I’m a noodle girl for sure. I’ve tried zucchini noodles in place of regular pasta noodles and it actually tastes pretty good! I was both hesitant at…

Portions
I’ve been posting everything I eat to the diary and it looks like I ate way too many calories everyday. Question: if I’m only taking a bite or two of something but never the whole portion size how would you go about logging that? 🙃 or trying to figure out how many calories one is consuming?

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.

Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie, pie, pie, pie
Anyone have delicious pie leftover? I just keep going back for one bite every so often. But I never, ever have dessert so I'm gonna enjoy it. 😁

Dehydrated / reduced weight food calories
I wonder how you weigh food that changes its weigh after processing to get accurate calories - weight raw or after thermal processing? Yesterday I was using my newly bought air fryer to do french fries. Fries lost approximately half weight after air frying. Which weight shouldwe be using to not cheat on calories?

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,…

No snacks. No sweets. No seconds. Except on days that start with S.
I'm in maintenance mode and only count calories when I start trending upwards. I've been searching for how to portion control without counting calories and the discussion title is the best solution I've run into so far. Is called the No S Diet. Pretty clever, thought I'd share.

You get to make the stuffing
The MOST important side, imho. I am nervous to mess it up, I got 2 different back up plans! LOL. What's your favorite side? Anyone else get the jitters with the stuffing?

Calorie Deficit
Never posted before but I am needing some help setting up my caloric goals. I don't understand how many different TDEE calculators are vastly different. I set up MFP according to my current stats and my goals, and it gave me a caloric goal of 2050 per day. Does that include a deficit? Do I subtract 500 from that and go…

Anyone else have a food hangover from Thanksgiving?
I felt gross after eating our Thanksgiving meal last night up until bedtime and still feel gross today. I even took 4 Tums last night with not a ton of relief. I'm not sure if it's from overeating at one meal and/or some of the foods I ate yesterday are foods I'm sensitive to and/or the two glasses of wine ( which I'm also…

Confess.
How did you eat at your worst? I'll start. This could be any given day in a time not that long ago. Breakfast: Breakfast burrito at random drive though. Big one. I assume 1200 calories or more. Several cups of coffee with all the fixings. Lunch: Fast Food Combo. Large with a Diet Coke and Sweet Potato fries if available.…

What are your favorite diet hacks?
Interested to find out what diet hacks everyone has used to cut calories or break unhealthy habits? Here are two things I've done recently: 1. Replaced traditional pasta with zucchini cut on my mandoline slicer. Fewer calories and more nutritional benefits. 2. Replaced diet soda with homemade infused water. Adds a little…

Did you go from eating everything to only eating meals prepared by yourself?
Grr. When other people cook for me, I go way over on calories or I have no idea what I'm eating. It happens so often, I'm scared I'm not going to lose weight. I have been doing weight watchers and the points for everything is ridiculous. A cappuccino that was like 70 calories was 4 points or 8 points once I added milk. A…

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)…

Glucosamine
Thinking of taking glucosamine for joint pain, but the research seems to only show benefit for those with osteoarthritis (which I don’t have - I’m mildly hypermobile and suffer with painful joints). Some studies have shown improvement in symptoms and others suggest it’s a placebo effect. Anyone here tried it and found it…

MFP CALORIES FOR AGE AND HEIGHT
Being stupid probably but I’m allowed 1280 calories per day, should I eat them each day OR Is it okay to eat short during the week and save for the weekend? Must I increase food intake if I do exercise exercise (planned walking or exercise bike for example) Can I count hoovering and window cleaning (just my own windows) as…

Recipe Builder question
Am I missing it or is there a way to include one recipe from my recipe builder as an ingredient in another recipe? The reason I ask is because I do not like salty foods so I often make my own things like taco seasoning or some sauces that normally are high sodium in their commercially prepared versions (also saves money…

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…

How will you cope with festive food
Since we don’t go out for Christmas lunch on Christmas Day I’m trying to plan ahead and add away from the normal daily stuff . Portion sizes are fine. Calories I can manage UNTIL I try to add the Christmas cake!!! Has anyone else thought about it yet or are you just going to let go for Christmas and New Year and start…
