Fitbit steps and extra calories!
Hi. I use MFP to maintain my weight. I recently got a fitbit charge and have synced it with MFP. I am confused though. It is adding over 1000 calories a day in exercise from the steps recorded, which range from 10,000 to 16,000 a day. This is giving me around 3,500 calories to eat. Of this right?

More Muscle = More Fat Lost?
I read an article online recently saying that the more muscle you have the more fat you will burn. The article made a good analogy: a car with a higher horsepower burn gas faster than a car with a lower horsepower. So for someone like me who is skinny and non-muscular, should I focus on building muscle to cut my belly fat?…

Holiday weight almost gone, calculating "where to stop" for maintenance for smaller ppl
So I only have 2 lb left of the holiday weight to lose. To maintain at the desired weight, I've read here that it would actually be smart to go 5 lb below goal so that when I eat maintenance calories, I will end up at my actual goal due to the return of glycogen and water stores in my liver and muscles.
