Calorie Deficit
Hello, I have a question about calorie deficits. My goal right now is to lose a pound a week. Without exercise my recommended calorie goal is 1200. On days when I take exercise classes, I have a large calorie deficit even though I am eating until I am full (calorie deficit of 700-800 instead of 500). On weekends I…

Calorie Intake HELP!
Hi, I have been doing my fitness pal for a couple of weeks now, and I have noticed that I am never able to eat my total calories - and then especially when I work out I am way low (around 400 to 700 below). But I am meeting my carb and protein totals just fine, and I come a little short for the fat intake. Is this bad?? I…

Groceries
I was just wondering around how much you guys spent on your groceries? And how often you go shopping? Growing up my mom never bought "junk" as I call it. She hardly bought pizza pockets, frozen dinners, chips and other things along those lines. We always had fruits and veggies and little snacks for school. We didn't have…

Literally. I have been really sick with whatever this bug is that is going around and I have been eating less than 500 calories a day (yes, I know it's not healthy). All I have been able to eat is soup and jello. Anyone have any recommendations for something other than those two, that is a fairly light food (meaning not…

Stored Glucose
I haven't seen the answer to this question before so here goes. How many calories can/should you consume in one sitting? Or, how many calories can your body store as glucose in muscle (glycogen in liver) before converting and storing the remainder to fat? Or is it dependent on how much the muscles have been depleted of…

Pretzels- Friend or Foe?
I must preface this by saying I am a salt FIEND. I know it's awful but it truly is my only weakness/vice in dieting. I used to eat a bag of chips with little thought and feel so remorseful after. I've been working hard to kick that habit and switched to pretzels. My only concern is that I'll nibble (literally on Synders…

WOW! The wonders of a food scale!
Until today I was not the proud owner of a food scale and I would try to "eyeball" how much I was eating and guesstimate what I was eating. I found out today that I've been ripping myself off! 4 ounces of meat is a lot more than I thought! I was probably only giving myself 2 to 3 ounces... and counting it as 4.…

Hello World!
Wow. I'm so happy today! :happy: I started this back on the 28th of March. I decided to first see what kind of calories I was consuming before beginning my lifestyle change.
