Hi Stephanie, on the desktop version of myfitnesspal you can change the things it tracks on the main dash. I think you need to go to settings. If you cant find it, i'll take a look for you and let you know! I have changed it so it is measuring carbs, fibre, fat, protein and salt. This makes the calculation much easier. Also on the mobile version, if you click 'nutrients' at the bottom of your diary it gives you a breakdown of what you have eaten including carbs and fibre. So the only calculation you need to do is subtract the total fibre from the total carbs at the end of the day!3 -
nice loss option yay
nice fat loss Victoria...how do you know that? just curious to what my fat % I know it's high but nice to see the progress.
I had a bad night eat g last night but that's behind me. I don't eat bread but did last night.
good swim today...pool days are numbered so trying to make the most of them....do I burn more when the water is cold...I like to tell myself that.
stephanie:
I cut out refined flour and sugar and starchy vegetables in may and started swiming I have lost just over 50 lbs. I feel great with cutting out the wheat. I try and keep my carbs under 100. I don't do net carbs just carbs. it finally broke tje constant hunger cycle for me. good luck!2 -

I have a questio...do you place equal importance on macros and calories, or does one trump the other? If, for example, you were near your daily calorie limit but your percentages were off, would you eat something high fat that would rectify your macros but take you over calories, or would you be content with a calorie deficit?0

I put importance on both. Even if you're far from your daily macros percentage. A calorie is a calorie and will effect your weight loss.1 -
Happy Monday!!!
My weekend was great in terms of working out and being active but diet wise I give myself a C+. On Saturday I ate two out of three meals out so my calorie calculations are not as precise as I would want them to be. Also, I drank beer yesterday which was my only cheat. Moving on with the new week. My trainer is weighing me in on Wednesday. My small goal is to be 2 lb down from last week. I hope yesterday's cheat didn't negate all the hard work I put in since last Wednesday.

On Tuesday stop drinking water or tea etc at 7 pm. So that on Wednesday you'll weigh in without water weight.
Every 2 cup = 1 lbs1 -

I'll do that for my own weigh in in the morning but he weighs me in in the afternoon so with all the food and water it usually is 3lb more than in the morning. Thanks. Nonetheless, If I lost fat it should be less than last week at the same time of day.

I am back on track today. Stayed within my calories despite being hungry all day. Just finished my hour long workout. Why is it so much easier to be good during the week?1

Been away today, I over trained yesterday and today, VERY sore and had a nap in my free time.
Today ended up being high carbs. 3L of water
in 2 days, I had 4 workouts, 3 whole body and 1 legs, 4 abs, 90 min mountain biking. I wouldn't be this sore if I didn't cover my co-worker class. Tomorrow is rest day and back on track with low carbs.
Hope you all had a great day, everyone has been very quite today!0 -

That is a lot especially with your low calorie intake. You are definitely due for a day off. So am I though. I haven't had a day off for over a week. Tomorrow I will get "destroyed" by my trainer so Thursday is off for sure.
I stayed within my calories but my macros are a bit off. Not bad as net carbs just 33 but still over the goal. I did an hour of spinning. It's fun even though, or maybe because, the hills were really challenging.
Enjoy your rest day tomorrow!0 -
rest day I think I need one. my workouts were great this week.
my sleep was lacking 30 minutes a night.
my weigh in I was up just under half a pound but it is shark week so that usually happens.
food I will be honest I had a few days that I ate things I don't normally.
water did just ok.
goals for this week no after dinner snacking or if I'm trulyhungry must stay under 200 calories.
sleep 8 hours a night.
more water.
hope everyone that weighs in today has a great weighing.
good day to all.0 -
Thank you gorilita!
It's a rest day for sure. I can't walk. It takes me 30sec to sit. I have to hold to something to assist me when I stand lol oh my so much pain.
For those weighing in. Hope it will go well!1 -
