Camping anyone? Healthy food options on the go....
Finally - I have convinced my husband to join me in my efforts to improve nutrition! We are planning a camping trip soon and I want to get a head start on meal planning prior to the trip so we don't default to the stand by "burgers, dogs & chips". We're in a camper, so we do have refrigeration and a stove, but I would like…

Cheat snack
Sorry I ask so many questions. I’m new to this. About once a week I’ll have a sugary snack. Yesterday it was cocoa pebbles and today it’s a milk shake. They were both within my deficit so that’s fine. However I’m worried it’ll hinder my fat loss/muscle growth. I’ve been working out with weights trying to gain muscle. Any…

4 month plateau
My trainer, nutritionist, and dietitian are stumped. I have been on a plateau for about 4 months. My weight, body fat percentage, visceral fat level all stay the same. My muscle mass increases most weeks but sometimes down a half pound. I shifted from keto to paleo, adjusted cardio, intensified weight training, and change…

Body fat calculator?
HI there, I am 7 lbs from my goal weight of 120 at 5.5. (At worst I was 156 lbs and felt awful.) But since I started recomposition, I don't care so much about the pounds anymore, but more about body fat and getting my body to feel strong again after an unhealthy and stressed out few years with small children. I am trying…

still 15kg overweight but don't eat much
I weighed myself today for the first time in a while. I am 94kg. As a 180cm man I think should be under 80kg. I have been losing weight in the past month or so but I think quite slowly. I was shocked at my weight because I don't feel like I eat much. If I ate any less I would hardly be eating anything. For exercise I walk…

What activity level would you say this is?
Hi all, I’m getting back into logging consistently and diligently the last 10 days or so after a bit of a break from calorie counting. Scale hasn’t moved so far which I’m not concerned about as my margins for losing are fairly small, and I’m not looking to lose a huge amount at a fast rate. In terms of calculating my TDEE,…

Restricted diet and getting bored
I have an eating disorder called ARFID, or Avoidant Restricted Food intake Disorder which leaves me only able to eat a very narrow range of foods. I am receiving support with this but am wondering if anyone has any ideas or recipes that only use the foods I do eat, as my diet consists of the same few meals and it does get…

Didn’t lose weight this week
Hey guys so I’m a bit bummed. Today I stepped on the scale and I’m at the same weight I was at last week. It’s weird cause I’m in the same deficit and doing the same things I’ve been doing since the beginning. And I’ve lost 7 pounds so far. I workout 3 times a week. And the weird part is I think I look slimmer this week…

Caloric intake advice
So over the last couple of months I have been having light headedness and dizzy spells while standing up from sitting down. I didn't particularly understand why myself. I went to the doctors and she had suggested I up my calories a bit. I had told her I was around 1800 while successfully losing weight I'm 33 year old male…

Does chest measurement include upper back?
So I have a question regarding chest measurement. If you measure your chest aren't you also measuring you upper back circumference? Meaning if someone were to train heavily their back muscles but not do anything for their chest they would still have a large chest measurement, is that correct? It seems for me when I put the…

Taking an ibuprofen/tylenol when having a headache?
I often have headaches at least a couple of times a week and almost one severe migraine per month. But when I ask most people in my entourage they say they don't take any pills when they do have headaches, it seems I am the exception as I always take 3 advil pills at the minimum. What are postitive and negatives for taking…

Examination of Outlying Scale Fluctuation
As I was logging my daily weight and calories into my spreadsheet, like usual, it occurred to me to check to see if I'd encountered any outliers in the 300+ data points I've collected dating back to July 2017. I'd inserted a Median absolute deviation row in my data set months ago; to this day I still only have recorded one…

Calories in meat: raw vs. cooked
I’m sure this has been discussed to death, but I’m seriously confused about weighing my meat (specifically chicken) raw vs cooked. There is an astonishing difference. I just grilled about 13 ounces of chicken (raw weight) for my next two lunches. After grilling I weighed it again and it came in at 8 ounces. It’s worth…

60lbs to loss
Today, July 31st, I decided my health and weight loss journey is more important than everything else in my life. I am choosing to put me at the top of my agenda after prayer and devotions.

Vegan issues
Hi there. I just wanted to ask if there were any vegans, current or past who have had issues with things like loss of hair, mood swings, lack of b12, iron etc. Back story, I'll keep it short. I was vegan 8 years ago at, what seemed, a time there wasn't much variety of foods only whole foods and maybe a few vegan…

Why does MFP indicate that I've earned negative calories burned at the start of each day?
I lost 40 lbs in 3 yrs (from 207 to 167 lbs) and am now just 5 lbs from my target weight of 185 lbs. Since changing to a weight mode I have noted that each morning I log in to enter my morning meal, MFP indicates that I have earned negative calories for the day. In example, today MFP indicated "You've earned -235 calories…
