    I have the calorie consumption related to exercise set to zero since I am so sedentary. I know the meaning of TDEE but with zero activity, I think of this as BMR. Probably the same for me.

    If you're truly sedentary, your TDEE is likely in the ballpark of your BMR x 1.2 or 1.25.

    If you want to discuss calorie counting, and be critical of those who you think don't, learning the basics early on may be helpful.

    Use the search tool and search for “count “ and “log”.

    In the General Health, Fitness and Diet forum there is a sticky thread called Most Helpful Posts that lists out the (wait for it) most helpful posts by someone's definition.

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10300319/most-helpful-posts-general-health-fitness-and-diet-must-reads#latest

    Start reading there. It's a sticky for a reason.

    OP, it's very helpful to filter out chit chat and fun & games subforums from the recent discussions. Go to the main forums list page and click the gear icon next to the forums you don't wish to see. Check 'unfollow.' Then go to recent and under 'view' choose 'following.' This helps clean up some of the less pertinent topics if you're browsing by recent.

    This. I filter out Recipes too, as it's not something I want to be reminded about. I go in there just when I'm specifically looking for something.

    I spent a lot of time trying to learn how the forums and how the food log worked before passing judgment.

    @kimny72 , I usually just a lurker here....is there really a way to filter? Or do you mean you just kind of bypass those forums? I would love to be able to filter these as well. (I just don't go into the ones I am not interested right now).

    On the website, if you go to the forum home page, and you hover your mouse over each forum title, it will reveal a little gear wheel. Click it, and unfollow any forum you don't want to see in the Recent list.

    Next, go to the Recent list. Next to the green Create button, just above the blue bar with the column titles, is the word "View" with a drop down. Choose "following". It should now only show you recent posts in the forums you didn't unfollow.

    I don't remember if these settings carry over to the mobile app or if you have to redo it (and probably slightly differently) on the app. :drinker:

    Edited to add: There is also a "View" drop down on the homepage where you can not see your unfollowed forums there too. I leave it on "All" though because sometimes I do want to go in there for some reason.

    Yes, the settings carry over. I don't get CC or F&G on my recents.
