Help! MFP is making me fat

MinimalistShoeAddict

By adding the "like" button MFP is causing me to burn less calories by typing thoughtful comments and making me fat!

All year I maintained my ideal weight while regularly burning calories typing comments like "good job" and "congratulations". Now that I can just use the new MFP "like" button instead of writing comments my calorie burn will decrease and I am going to get fat!

I know the "like" button is here to stay.

I don't want to get fat so my question is this:

How many "like" buttons to I have to click to make up for the calories I burned for each "good job" comment I used to type?

I think you should do a water fast.

I understand you completely! I narrowed it down using simple math concepts....8.

Hm, you should probably drop down to 1200 calories per day to make up for the difference.

Squats and deadlifts.

1200 calories for weight loss?! My god that's insane! I would never recommend above 500 per day!

Let's say the average of characters of your comments contained about 15 and you commented on a average of 3 statuses per MFP friend.
If you have about 100 friends that means you would have gotten 4500 characters a day.
So you could either up your friends list to 4500 and like 1 status update per friend, or 1500 and like 3 status updates per friend

Do the math!

Gustaaf..You are cruel,dude! Haha!!
