Husband's snacking is going to kill me!
My husband is always been a snacker at night. I usually save about 100-200 calories and do something light while he breaks out the hotdogs, chili, cookies, pie etc. But I'm starting to want everything he eats...and even though I'm going for healthier options (veggies, fruit, cereal) I'm still wanting to snack all night!…

Life style change vs. dieting

Adjusting calories for previous day
Is it okay if I went over on calories for a couple days to go *under* on calories for a couple days to make up the difference? I was reading this book "The Secrets of Skinny Chics" and some of the women profiled in there would aim for weekly calories instead of daily calories. So if they knew they had a vacation coming up,…

Hi, I'm new to this board. I have figured out how many calories I need to eat each day. Now sometimes it will tell me I've eaten too few because I worked out.

Exercising and Eating
I have a hard time entering accurate information when it comes to food. A lot of the time the brands I use are not on the list or the food I have does not have the nurtrition information on it. Also, when it comes to exercising I don't know what to enter if I spent an hour chasing around kids, or just walking around town.

I should know this but...
As your weight goes down, does MFP automatically adjust your total calories for the day? I have switched mine back and forth a couple times between 1 lb a day and 2 lbs a day so I'm not sure
