    Floating poop is one of the biggest early warning signs of pancreatic cancer. It is also a sign of gallbladder disease. I had my gallbladder removed 6 years ago and my inability to properly digest all of the fat I consume did not help me lose even an ounce of weight. To make much of a difference it's gonna have to be drastic, like taking Alli or something. Then you have to worry about pooping yourself and anal leakage. Ewwww.

    Anal leakage ... can there be a more revolting concept?! Jeez

    100 in the calcium means 100% of the RDA which is currently 1000mg. So for 1200mg you would aim for 120 if you track calcium on MFP.

    A glass of milk or 1/2 cup of a good greek yogurt will give you around 300mg or 30%.

    I just set my macros to show calcium and MFP only sets it at 100.

    I guess I should change it to 1200.

    I looked at calcium yesterday as I'm supposed to eat a high calcium diet (my mum has severe osteoperosis and my dad osteoarthritis). According to MFP there was 0 calcium in the skimmed milk that I had and 0 calcium in the natural yogurt that I had!

    My advice would be to chck the labels rather than rely on what someone else has put on MFP - if it is wrong re-enter it right! I've been tracking calcium for a while and when I first started I notice that alot of people don't complete the bottom part so the calcium, iron, vit A etc are never there!

    Surely the best thing to do is moderate your fat intake and convert to healthy fats? Fat is important in a balanced diet.

    This sounds like 'get some calcium, eat a shedload of McDonalds, but don't worry because you'll poop it out'.

    Either way I hope this doesn't turn into some type of diet book... Here's mine:

    1) Eat a balanced diet with a calorie deficit.
    2) Exercise (cardio and weights).
    3) Monitor bodyfat % and not just weight.
    4) When at target body fat move to maintenance and continue 2).

    How can we have 10,000 books when the principles are so simple?

    This is correct but also its not harmful to do so and taking in more calcium whilst training can have great other benefits such as increasing the strength of bones, especially in young adolesecent women and younger women. This helps build bone density in their younger years whilst at the same time aiding them to perhaps lose weight.

    Dairy can be low fat or fat free and rich in calcium and is a great source of it. And is an easy thing to add to most people's diets. For example, low/zero fat cottage cheese, low fat cream cheese, skimmed milk, low fat/fat free yoghurt... etc etc.

    There is nothing wrong with what you've said too, but why NOT add in calcium...it certainly will be beneficial to becoming stronger physically and as a body!!!

    Totally agree :). When talking about a balanced diet it's very important to get the right vitamin and mineral levels in! When in a calorie defect I make sure I take a multi-vitamin too :).

    Don't laugh but I just downloaded an app to track this today. I have basically IBS for 12 years because nobody has bothered to figure it out.

    Pointless study. So Dr. Oz says that we should eat more calcium so that it binds to the dietary fat we eat and gets eliminated in our poop, and it's a good thing? If calcium and dietary fat that we eat both get eliminated in our poop, that means we aren't getting the health benefits of either. Dietary fat and adipose body fat are two different things. If you're trying to lose fat, you want to burn body fat, not just poop out the fat you eat, as dietary fatty acids are needed by the body to function properly, and adipose tissue is not made of fatty acids (only very small amounts.). In other words, the body can't use your fat stores in place of dietary fat.

    Once again, Dr. Oz proves he has no clue.

    WOW Why all the hate on Dr. Oz?

    I will be adding dairy to my workouts for the calcium and for the fat binding properties.

    Because his advice is often bogus and causes people to spend money on useless supplements and complicate their diet.
