1200 or 1500... that is the question
I originally started out using MFP's calculated goals. After talking to our nutritionist at work, he suggested that I was eating to few calories at 1200, and should bump up to 1500. So I manually reset my data on MFP, and the first day that I input my food, the thing at the bottom "if everyday were like today" was, to say…

The support is so much more because someone is always ready to help day or night. Which is why I ask if anybody other than a couple of…

Exercise Calories
I know that there is many different opinons on eating them or not but that's not my question. I find that when I eat my exercise cals I gain. Is there a way to add my exercise cals into my log without upping my daily allowance? I'd like to keep a record of my exercise and it would be easier just to add it here.
