PREGNANCY: Trying to avoid gaining too much.
As an overweight person, I was advised to gain between 5-9kg during my entire pregnancy. I’m now 22 weeks, and after gaining nothing for the first 16 weeks, I have gained 5kg in 6 weeks without changing my diet! Beginning to freak out a little. I’ve decided to track my food intake and aim for ‘weight maintenance’ calories…

The three to five pound flux.
So far I’m finding it possible to stay right around 178 (my goal weight). However I’m finding it is also pretty easy for me to shoot up to 182. Right now I’m pretty happy at 176. I find that when I don’t eat desserts (at all) I do much better.

Gaining weight on maintainance. Haven't changed a thing.
My weight has been 'wonky' lately. Typically if I don't eat a certain amount of calories I can drop 10+ pounds like nobody's business in a matter of days. But lately I've been gaining a little bit of weight (roughly 5 pounds so far) on my mantainance calories. Yes even counting liquids, condiments, salad dressing, etc.…

Total Calories Sum vs Total Macros Sum
Hello there, So this is what I have observed at the end of a day. Even if I exceed the daily macro goals for all 3 macros (Carb, Proteins, Fats) that I had set, it still shows that I'm under the total calorie goal for the day. How could this be? Attaching screenshots below This screenshot shows the fact that I'm exceeding…

Maintaining on very low calories
I want to start a maintenance diet. I've just started using MFP. I'm barely eating 1000 calories a day and not losing weight. I lost my twenty plus pounds eyeballing my food.

1 week into maintenance & I’m starving
I didn’t have any appetite when I was losing weight, 8 days into maintenance & I’m hungry all the time - is this likely to even out? For the week I’ve averaged 2038 cals per day and put on 0.2lbs - I assume that’s water weight. I’ve tried loading my plate with veg and getting enough fat etc but it’s not helping and I don’t…

Choosing the maintaining weight
How do you go about it? Before, I have thought that body fat percentage is the king and that as a man you should aim for ten percentage After reaching ten percentage with some muscle mass I have decided to go for the BMI - if under 18.5 is anorexic I will then maintain 19 to be as lean as possible while being healthy; in…

Weight gain when exercising
I put on about 9lbs when I started exercising more last year and haven't been able to to shift it. For the first time in a year I've finally shifted 5lbs by calorie counting but I also haven't been exercising so much over the last couple of weeks so I'm not sure if it's muscle loss. My favorite sport is cycling and I want…

Is there a lot of salt/sodium in Indian food?
Just wondering if anyone knows the answer to this. I eat Indian food every so often, and truly love it. I have a salad and Bengain Bharta with whole wheat roti, and some of my husband's Vegetable Jalfrezi. I eat very little of the rice. (Forgive me if I am spelling some of this wrong.) I ask (as I do at most restaurants)…

Ideas for stay at home mom?
I’ve had 3 kids over 6yrs, and was determined to get to pre-pregnancy weight after the third. I managed to do that a year ago after a lot of cutting back and exercise— but now I’m up 5lbs a year later. In the past I haven’t had trouble maintaining after losing the pregnancy weight, so this feels defeating. I’m older now…

Very stupid question.

I am still trying to figure out how sated feels. I know it is subjective, but would love to know what other people's experiences are. I believe that I have more in…

Tips to maintain without daily tracking for the rest of my life, please?
I've gotten to goal multiple times over the years, and I tracked for almost a year straight. I stopped tracking and after a while slowly gained weight back. I got up to 10 lbs over goal this time so I came back to MFP and I've lost 2 lbs so far this time. Losing is pretty easy for me, as long as my mindset is right. I'm…
