Counting calories or WW?
I can't decide. I think I eat healthier on WW, but I like seeing my macros at a glance with MFP. I feel uneasy if I don't know how many carbs I have had, sodium intake, etc. I was pre-diabetic a few years ago so I am especially conscious about my carb intake. Yet I see so many people successfully working *both* programs.…

Hypothalamic amenorrhea, but never been underweight.
This might be a bit niche, but here goes... Since I came off the pill a few years ago my periods have been largely absent - I’ve had a couple a year. I saw various doctors about this, had blood tests, checked for PCOS etc. I’ve never been underweight - I’m 5’6 and was usually around 63kg. Finally I saw a consultant in July…

I noticed that a food scale is considered extremely important around here. I don't have one. I may get one but until then, how successful can you be without one? And what would you say about having a sort of policy of overestimating calories on everything you eat for those without a food scale? I ask that because it seems…

I could chug 3 bottles some weekends and that is 360 cals and I do fitting it…
