Eating Less Than BMR: is it okay?
Is it okay to eat less than your BMR? My BMR is 1297 and MFP recommends that I eat 1200 to lose 1 lb a week under sedentary. I'm not completely sedentary but I also don't rigorously work out. I do some light exercise minimum 3x a week but just for now let's assume that I'm sedentary. So given that I'm sedentary, would it…

Any settings I can change or just going to estimate?
Here is my issue, I work a funny schedule. I work two weeks of days and two weeks of nights. To make matters more difficult I don't stay on a night shift schedule when on nights. I got off at 7 this morning and got up at noon. I'll go to bed between 10-12 tonight. Obviously I'm not going to eat my 1800 calories in ten…

Confused about MFP calorie recommendation
So MFP recommended that I eat at 1200 calories a day to lose 1 lb a week. but so far, after 2 weeks I haven't been losing anything.

Food database question
Hello everyone. My first post! :happy: Is there a way I can view calories in a database selection before I add it to my meal? What I have been doing is search, select, note wrong calorie amount, delete from meal, search again, select, note wrong calorie amount.... etc, etc. It should be easier than this I think.
