One month and gained on a deficit
Hello all, I have successfully gone from 67kg to 57kg in the past (8 years ago) by eating less and being a regular exerciser. I love the elliptical, ballet, aerial dance and calisthenics the most. I weigh and count everything I consume. For the last month, (starting weight 63kg) I have consumed an average of 1583 calories…

Question on calories.
I was in a pinch for time so instead of fast food I ran into my local grocery store (Market Basket) and grabbed a turkey and cheese sandwich from their cafe. It had lettuce tomato and onion. I did not use the mayo or mustard packets. I basically finished the whole sandwich when I flipped the container over and saw 680…

My macros keep changing
It’s really annoying… I need to change it everyday. Why do they keep changing when I set them specifically for my goals?? This appears to be a problem over significant time and can’t see any resolve??

Varying calorie goals by day
I’ve been learning about best practices for maintaining muscle while losing weight and I want to check my understanding… So if I have calculated a deficit of 300 calories, I’m wondering if I should eat at a higher calorie goal on days I am lifting weights. MFP does not attribute as many calories to non-cardio exercises (so…

Be sure to track during your vacation
Last year I spent three weeks in Europe, cruising the Mediterranean and then spending some time in France. I wanted to really enjoy myself, and I did, to the tune of a 15 pound gain. It took me about a year to lose all that weight. This year I decided that I needed to make sure I tracked everything and reign in the eating…

Weight loss log in app
I'm currently doing body recomposition with the deficit of 500 calories per day and also doing strength training. If I lose some weight in a week do I need to log in the weight in app weekly in? Is it necessary what will be the impact of doing this on my maintenance calorie calculation.

Gym or Home
Do you prefer to work out at home, or in a gym? I'm currently working out at home (going for brisk walks daily, exercising with fitness bands). I'd like to join a gym eventually. I find it more motivating. I find working out at home more challenging because I work full-time at a fairly stressful job and find it easy to…

How do I not get derailed?
In the last couple of years I've put on about 15 pounds. Partly due to having to cutting back on activity for health reasons but also because I will just eat what I want. Every time I go about losing weight these things happen to make it go wrong: 1) I'll have good streak of logging food and eating healthy and lose a few…

Variable Daily Calories
Is there anyone else who varies their daily calorie goal? How do you have yours set up? The same heavy vs low calorie days each week? Change them up based on needs but focus on the weekly goal? What is working best for you? I've discovered if I keep my calories the same each day I plateau very quickly. I currently work 2…

Trying to reconcile weight loss with calorie deficit
I just finished my 2nd week of using MyFitnessPal. My goal is to lose 15-20 pounds, with a target weight loss of one pound per week - although my hope is to lose the weight much faster than this. I already have a good workout routine (3x60 min HIIT sessions + 2x30 min cardio sessions per week), but I added to it a 4-6 mile…

Chip Substitute
So what kind of chips or chip substitutes does everyone like with their sandwiches. I’ve tried some of the like quest, protein, chips, and stuff. I don’t like them. They’re just too gritty and charcoal I guess for a lack of better terms.

Did your ancestors recently experience food insecurities?
So my question is about what you know of your ancestors' recent food insecurities and how might your issues be correlated? Do you have Irish ancestors that experienced famine in the 1800s? Do you have American Indian ancestors whose foodways were completely demolished? Were your recent ancestors in the Midwest US during…

Prediabetes or Diabetic Macros?
Hi, I was diagnosed as prediabetic and I'm trying to get my AIC/blood sugar down. I also need to lose about 25 lbs. Does anyone know what macros are good for this? It seems every source recommends something different. Also trying to figure out how to track added sugar - it seems that MFP only tracks total sugar, which…

Struggling
I went through surgical menopause in my 30’s. My Dr took me off my hormones and I’m struggling with losing any weight. My weight has been the same for the past year and half. I’m eating in my calorie deficit. To be honest I’m not a consistent exerciser. I have severe arthritis and it has caused it hard for me to walk. But…

“Projected weight loss”
Does anyone else find the end of the day “projected weight loss” totally rubbish and very disheartening? I’m set for an aim of 1kg weight loss a week and having stuck within my calorie limit today (net calories 1195) it’s telling me my projected weight in 5 weeks is only 0.2kg lighter than what I logged as my weight today……

"Eat well, live better" class vs. MFP
Last week, I had a phone appointment with a dietician (a few months ago, I asked my GP to refer me). It was fruitful, and conveniently my GP's clinic was just starting a four-week Zoom class on healthy eating, etc. The first session was this morning, and it was fascinating. I just read an interesting recent thread about…

Is there a weekly summary chart for exercise somewhere?
Years ago when I was shedding my pregnancy weight after each kid I used an app called My Food Diary. My favourite thing about it was the weekly summary chart that showed me how many minutes of exercise I’d put in each day of the previous week. MFP has that for steps but not for exercise, and since I swim a lot and my…

OptaVIA weight rebound!
I was so thrilled when I lost 52 lbs in 6 months using Optavia. Problem is I really didn’t change my habits enough, or maybe because I did it during the COVID shutdown, real life returning tested my habits and I backslid. 2 years and almost all of it came back. I’m now using MFP to track my daily intake and exercise with…
