My First Time on My Fitness Pal instead of Weight Watchers

Gena575

I eat a lot of salads, but I like salads. Sometimes they are a side for bulk, sometimes they are the meal ( or as Aaron says a meal on a bed of lettuce lol). My typical side salad is about 140 calories due to cheese and croutons and dressing, so more than a side of green beans or other veggies. But as I said, I enjoy them.

Coming from weight watchers, it will take a bit to get used to the reality of calories. That free Apple is now 80- 100 calories. But that 7 point serving of 23 Mike and Ike candies is only 140 calories. You're not being manipulated to make the "right" choices with punishingy inflated points values any longer.

i can understand the free fruit and veggies .. when your my size its hard to eat enough of them to go over calories ..
I do count mine now towards my goal , but there are times im at goal and still hungry so an apple is my go to fruit ,, and i do log the apple

Good luck and welcome to MFP , the system works and gets easier the longer you use it . i find i eat alot of the same foods so logging is easy
