ideas on how to stay active
Unfortunately I have a sedentary job (on computer all day from 8-4:00. I really want to do better with activity but I kind of feel that working out for an hour in the evenings isn't really sufficient enough when I've been sitting all day. I do get up every hour to walk for about 5 minutes but that is all I can do with my…

Can you lose fat and gain muscle at the same time?
If hypothetically my maintenance is 1350 calories and I want to lose 11 lbs, I can not eat 850 calories to make a 500 calorie deficit, not even 1100 calories to make 250 calories deficit. I can make around 150 calories deficit to and eat 1200 and aim to lose the 11 lbs in about 9 months. And if I follow the reddit body…

Seems Garmin sync'd activity is double counted in calories needed for the day
I'm new to using MFP and I'm trying to figure out what is correct in the calorie consumption I should have each day.
