New member-anything I need to know?

Hello. I just started this program. I am pretty active because I am a dancer who dances several nights of the week. I started this program because I wanted to not gain weight. Anything I need to know?

Food scale is your best friend

Read through this chart, and do anything on it you currently aren't doing.

welcome!

1. buy a food scale
2. set up a profile with a goal of maintaining weight. MFP will give u a daily allowance so u dont need to figure it out yourself.
3. only eat back half of the calories u burned at the most by exercising/dancing coz those numbers r too optimistic in MFP
4. LOG everything u eat consistently
5. google search for recipes if needed
6. nothing is perfect so just weight yourself regularly n make adjustments accordingly


GOOD LUCK!!!

If it's brown, flush it down.
