in Getting Started
Hello. I just started this program. I am pretty active because I am a dancer who dances several nights of the week. I started this program because I wanted to not gain weight. Anything I need to know? :)

    welcome!

    1. buy a food scale
    2. set up a profile with a goal of maintaining weight. MFP will give u a daily allowance so u dont need to figure it out yourself.
    3. only eat back half of the calories u burned at the most by exercising/dancing coz those numbers r too optimistic in MFP
    4. LOG everything u eat consistently
    5. google search for recipes if needed
    6. nothing is perfect so just weight yourself regularly n make adjustments accordingly


    GOOD LUCK!!!

    If it's brown, flush it down.
