Calories remaining
Hello! I’ve never believed in eating back my calories hence why I’ve failed at this. I’m back with a different mindset and want to follow MFP as closely as possible. If I have 380 remaining after eating about 1500 calories and working out, is it harmful to leave those calories there or should I eat something? I’d prefer…

I know it's cheesey, but for me…

So I’m a Jerk
🤦🏼♀️ MFP told me so, those exact words. It was regarding a comment that I genuinely meant no harm or disrespect, like a scenario where you mispronounce something wrong your whole life and someone finally tells you the correct way.
