Ok so I'm 5''5.5 , I put this into mfp and it automatically rounds me up to 5''6 xD this gives me slightly more calories than if I were at 5''5 but I'm not 5''6 dammit! so do I put in 5''6 or 5''5?

    It's about 20 calories difference iirc. I'm 5'4 and a bit and I had it set to 5'5 for a while but then I remeasured and realised the "bit" was less than I thought so I've gone back to 5'4"

    Its not a huge difference in calories, but to be safe put 5 5" best be under by a couple than over by a couple
