Should I eat back my exercise calories when maintaining?
Hello-- I've hit my goal weight and I would like to maintain now. Should I eat back the calories I burn? For example-- MFP has me at 1420 to maintain (before exercise). So let's say I burn 300 working out. Should I be eating 1720?

Nutritional Info
So I've just joined and this looks like a fantastic way to follow my diet and actually see the nutritional values in my diet. The only thing is that the nutrition seems to vary wildly between all the options when I go to add the same food. Any suggestions?

Those last few lbs
I've got about 5-6 lbs left post partum and I'm quite lean at this point. What frustrates me is my lack of time to work out. Weight loss is sloooooow now and I know I will be able to work out down the line one day. How can I get out of this plateau? Or should I put the last few lbs on hold?

Do you log when you've been "bad"?
Wasn't sure how to word this but when you're taking time off your diet for whatever reason (in my case, first weekend of holiday and on my period) do you ever log it anyway to check the "damage" and to try to stay on track, or do you avoid doing this as it's just too depressing? After seeing it written down, I've told…

Continue to lose when stopping MFP and went below goal
Hi--was wondering if anyone had a similar experience. I reached my goal weight about a month ago and then stopped using MFP. I lost another 5 pounds. I took a long time to lose the weight (30 lbs over a year) so it's strange that I dropped so much now. I will start logging again I think. Would love to hear what happened…

Interesting piece for people who sometimes binge
I thought someone else might find this piece as interesting as I did. It's a study of the development of insulin resistance. The study is small, but well designed. The key finding that I think is relevant here is that the volunteers - who were sedentary, completely monitored, and fed 6000 calories a day for a week - were…

Maintenance and weight loss calories the same amount
Folks, help me out here. I am slightly confused. When I have input my desired weight and other info MFP gives me the same amount of calories (1200) to maintain and to actually lose weight. I want to try and keep to the weight I am now ( a couple of lbs heavier wouldn't hurt if they went on though). If I want to gain it…
