Accuracy of Workout Calories Burned
I just started tracking my gym workouts with MFP. Previously I just let my Apple Watch log calories based on time of a Function Strength workout. The MFP calorie estimate is about twice the Apple Watch. I would expect MFP to be more accurate given the specifics of weight and reps, however I am finding it very hard to…

Metabolism help please!?
Hi everyone! First time posting here. I am in desperate need of some advice. For years I have struggled with my weight.

Calorie deficit and macros
I go back and forth between focusing on a calorie deficit and macros. Goal is to lose 20 lbs so I feel like if I focus on the deficit I can just not worry about carbs so much. Still get my protein numbers but just worry less about keeping carbs low. Everyone always seems to think low carb is the way to weight loss though…

Track net carbs instead of calories
Hi, My questions: Can I set up the app to prioritize tracking the carbs over the calories? Or not track calories at all? Background: I'm 30 weeks pregnant and am tending towards gestational diabetes (despite working out the whole time and trying to watch what I eat). Now I need to watch my carbs and sugar intake more than…

Rewiring your brain takes time, transparency, and knowledge
I don't know if anyone needs to read this, but I am fascinated with how, as humans, we can get stuck in ruts for weeks, months, years, and sometimes decades with very little success. In my own life, looking back, I always thought I was doing everything I could to "fix" a situation, and it usually wasn't until later that I…

Changes to definitions and advice
I'm putting this up mainly for discussion and I haven't triple checked the numbers and all that. Something Ann mentioned in a post about changes to definitions, together with people getting higher goals prompted me to re-check a maintenance setup based on various "activity level" options. MFP used to be based on Mifflin…

Calories on dashboard and weight loss goal
I put my goal as losing 1 pound a week, and slightly active. The dashboard says 2300 calorie goal. Is that to lose the weight? Seems like it’s closer to my basal metabolic rate. Does my activity level matter if I’m logging my walks and runs?

My $3,000 Guaranteed Weight Loss Sweater
My sweater is worth at least $3,000 and saved me tens of thousands of calories. How, you ask? Over 300 hours invested, figuring my time at a mere $10 per hour. You can’t have dirty hands while doing needlework, and hands busy elsewhere aren’t mainlining sweets and treats into my mouth. This is, btw, “bedspread weight”…
