    you eat more calories than you think by measuring with cups and spoons

    look at this sort video and you know why you should use a food scale to weigh ALL your solid food

    wowza!!! my head is spinning! ok ..... looks like it's a scale to weigh my foods! today I let MFP calculate my calories needed to lose 1 pound a week.. says 1240 :neutral: .... i was following shaun t's t251600 cal meal plan for the last 4 weeks. So now i'll follow MFP for a couple weeks.... today was my day off though and i ate the 1240 calories and now i'm trying to go to sleep but i'm hungry :( wish me luck! thanks for all the tips! i didn't realize that MFP was soooo wayyy off with their calorie suggestions!
    My diary is open now if anyone can spot something in there

    But on top of the 1240 you can eat back a part of your exercise/burned calories. :)
    Most people eat about 50%-75% back.
