Exactly what is MFP good for??

Whatever thread you were in where people said they don't need to track your calories you should almost certainly ignore them. Were they new members? We're getting a lot of crap around here these days.
Now it's true there are some people who don't, hell right now I'm not. But I'm bulking so I get to eat alllll the food.
But this is a calorie counting website. Calorie counting is the most effective method of weight loss. So anyone telling you different I would pay them no mind.
Seriously what thread was it?

It was a response this guys rant. One person made the statement and several agreed. I don't think they were new, but didn't have profile pic of themselves up and didn't show any results. So, I know that I shouldn't follow their advice.
I was just wanting to know the thoughts or reason why.
Ok. That thread does have a lot of great advice about BMR and TDEE and such.
But you don't need to know all that at first. Start simple. Log your foods and keep close to your calorie goals. Start exercising. You'll learn the rest in time, but you don't need to figure out everything right away. I know it can be daunting.
Log everything and watch your calories. That's the key. If you find something not working you can start to research the rest.
But calorie counting is #1. Sometimes people here forget that because it goes without saying.0 -
oh hey...can I be number 356?for creeping 355 hot girls

It's a dating site, right?
Yes.
I mean, that's how we found each other. & we know how that's working out...
Aw!! How sweet!0 -

I go back and forth with tracking. Back and forth between wanting to count calories and not wanting to count calories. But I've stayed with MFP.
Why? Because I love my MFP friends and want to support them in reaching their healthy goals. Also, I still track my exercise on here even when I don't track my food.0 -

What?!? You're pregnant???0 -
underwear pics and bathing suit pics...and occasionally pretty much nude pics (with a little imagination)
In all seriousness though...really nothing; there's much more nudity elsewhere.0 -
It's motivating to be here. It passes the time. And it's fun to share recipes and give advice.
I didn't start tracking for a long time.0 -
I love people that come on MFP to repeatedly tell people they don't need to track calories. What a gripping life they must lead!0

Yes, we had cyber sex and now I will have a cyber baby. You can be the godfather.0 -
No I am not talking about the OP now, I am talking about a response he got from someone else. They were stating they were tired of hearing people say you have to blah, blah blay with BMR, TDEE, and that you don't need all that to lose weight. That you don't need to counting calories and such. I don't know. Was just wanting to know.

The community. I wouldn't have stayed so long if it was just the logging, I can guarantee that.
Just the fact that I can talk about anything I like. I don't feel comfortable talking about my lifts, and how the gym went and my weight loss or gain on facebook, nobody cares. I don't really want to share that sort of stuff with people who have no interest either. In real life I have a few friends who workout, but none who are interested in the things I'm interested in (lifting). Here, the people have the same sort of goals, and that's amazing.0 -

For hot girls who look incredible (and know it) to post nearly nude photos of themselves and express how "gross" they are, while waiting for guys to come in and tell them they look hot.0

I'm guessing this is SARCASM. I will admit I have been guilty of this.0 -

He won't have to pay child support because we are never breaking up. We'll be together FOREVER.0 -
MFP is good for wasting a lot of time when you should be working...
But it's also for counting calories and tracking exercises. Which is the best use.

That one's definitely good to go! Yeah, buddy!0 -
I use MFP to:
Creep on hot guys with big muscles (or small muscles, i really don't discriminate).
Creep on hot girls with muscles and on how much they lift for reference/motivation.
Laugh at cat and Supernatural gifs.
I get to use sarcasm freely. When i try that at work i get "talked to", at home i get people rolling their eyes at me.
But really, i mostly use it to see how much protein is in the stuff i eat.0 -
Cat gifs0

Nothing else passes the work day quite like it!0

Making me laugh everyday
Getting dirty pms
Threads being locked whilst your typing a reply
Hot headless men pics
Hot headless women pics
