Bad information
Hi all, I have to say, I am beyond frustrated and feel screwed. When doing research (YouTube) about losing fat through diet and exercise, I joined a gym and have been going 3-4xweekly and eating 1500 cals. To be in a deficit. All the YouTube gurus (lol) said I should be in a deficit and life heavy so I don't lose to much…

Is there a weekly calorie goals option?
I go out to eat occasionally with friends, like I did today. I don't binge, and I generally eat healthy-ish meals. However, restaraunt portions are huge (I would estimate that my Korean soon tofu stew meal came in at a maximum 1000 calories). I planned ahead and only ate around 350 calories during the rest of the day.…

My sister is obese
I have a question...my sister is obese but I NEVER see her eating. Since she gained the weight, does that cause her metabolisim to slow a way down? She says she wants to lose weight but she is not at the point where she is ready to do anything about it. I make myself available to her when she is ready. Is there anything I…

Looking for a detox/cleanse?
Hey MFPers. With the rapid increase of new users there are many posts coming up asking for detox recommendations. I figured this would be a good time to provide some links explaining why you generally don't need to detox or cleanse. Your body is readily equipped to handle toxins and in the event it cannot, you're in far…

Awesome Custom Keto Diet Success
Hey all 👋 I think the term ‘Keto’ definitely raises a few eyebrows! Normally I’m not one for pursuing this kind of diet as I am accustomed to a higher carb lifestyle (oops haha). I’ve been training for around about 8 years now and most of that time I was very focussed on the exercise. But success in weight loss honestly…

Change in Number of Workouts per week deducted my daily calorie intake...
Not sure who can help, but I now train 6 days a week instead of 5 and have an active non-gym life as well. My base daily calorie intake on MyFitnessPal was 1,800. Since I changed my number of workouts, it has DROPPED my daily calorie intake to 1,780. Why? I don't get it. I am female, am 167cm tall, weigh 50kg, and am…

Trying to be Optimistic
So I decided back in the beginning of November to increase my calories because I was fed up with aiming for 1200 calories for the past year. I know that I was somehow averaging a 2 lb loss a month for the majority of 2019...which did not add up since I was expecting 1 lb a loss a week at that deficit. I do weigh everything…

Why did I gain 2 pounds overnight?
I’ve been eating around 800-1000 calories daily, I’m at 197 (from 240pounds) and just don’t have an appetite at all, at first I was excited because I was an emotional eater... now I feel maybe my metabolism is slowing or something because I run 4-8 miles a day (depending on what else is going on) and do in home strength…

Insertional achilles tendonitis
I noticed a tender spot on the back of my heel a few weeks ago and a few days later also a nagging little ache at the end of my treadmill jog sessions. Most likely insertional achilles tendonitis apparently, and probably triggered by increasing my jogging distances too quickly. Any tips on how to heal as fast as possible?…

Disconnect Garmin
Hi! I’m trying to disconnect MyFitnessPal from my Garmin Connect. I disconnect it but then I check the app, and it’s connected again.

How do you choose a goal weight?
So here's the deal: I'm 52, 5'10" and currently weigh 220. I have lost weight before (from an all-time high of 274) and stopped when I hit 170. I was unable to maintain that and settled more into a comfortable 180-190 area. (I followed a meal-replacement plan and never went through a formal maintenance program, so it's no…

Exercise vs. RMR test
I did an RMR test (breathing through a tube for 10 minutes style) and worry that results might be off due to the 0.5 walk to the scanning facility from the subway station. It's the same walk I do twice a day to get to/from work, so it's by no means strenuous, but you are advised to avoid "working out" before the test. The…
