Inaccurate calcium numbers
I am a free my fitness pal member. I was considering upgrading because I need to track my calcium intake. I am over 50, eat a plant based diet, and have mild osteopenia. I looked at the phone app which shows daily RDA percentages of calcium, and they are way off (showing over 100% when I am closer to maybe 10%). Has…

confused about calorie intake increasing
before picture shows my calorie intake, i did a 20 minute jog and my intake was increased when i burned 244 calories?

Calorie intake
I exercise quite a lot and am given extra calories for it but sometimes I can be very calorie deficient as I can't eat that much as I intermittent fast and don't eat breakfast. If I am quite short on calories each day will this effect my metabolism or have a negative impact in any way?

How do you stay motivated when you travel?
I'm visiting India for a month. Every time I've traveled in the past, I've gained pounds. I want to avoid that. :'( I've put in a lot of work in my weight loss efforts and, in fact, just broke a plateau after hard work. I've been disciplined with my yoga routine in the morning and have been walking regularly. I'll probably…

How long to go from 30% (or 23%) body fat to 15%?
This question has been answered a couple times, but not within my numbers (as far as I can tell). I'm 31 years old, 6ft, and I currently weigh 202 lbs (started at around 220 earlier this year). I'm starting to get more serious about my weight loss and general health, but I'm curious what a realistic timeline for my goals…

Carb goal v sugar goal
I am trying out a low carb/keto diet whilst I'm unable to run due to a stress fracture. I'm aiming for 10% carbs, which equates to an target of 30g per day. Given sugar is a carb, why is my sugar target higher than my total carb target (46g)... Given carbs can be made up of a few things, why would the target for sugar be…

About small deficits, plateaus, weight trends and consistency (and looking for maintenance)
This isn't really a question, but a post that will hopefully help others (although I'm not sure how many people still read these boards and are patient enough to read long posts 😄).

The most powerful antioxitant on Earth?
Recently I started drinking Tumeric tea for tinnitus. The curcumin is an antioxidant, and an inflammatory as well. It actually does help the tinnitus a little! It also is a good antioxidant, however the most interesting thing I found out is if you add black pepper to turmeric it acts like a catalyst, where your body,…

Question
Has anyone out there tried the GOLO plan? I have the GOLO smart card that tells you how to eat, but this kind of thing isn't my forte. I don't menu plan well so this kind of thing is very difficult for me. Anyone have any tricks to make it easier to do?

When did you start to notice?
I am two months in on attempt to lose weight. I have lost 40 pounds. And I haven't noticed any visual changes. My scale, the doctor's scale, and the scale at the gym all say I've lost weight.

Doing IF all wrong
So I decided to do 12:12 as the most easiest option. Anyway I read that those doing IF they had 2 meals instead of 3. But what I was doing was cramming my 3 meals within the time slots. So break my fast at 11 and have breakfast and then at 12.30 have lunch. Im such a loser honestly.
