My hesitancy with a chest monitor is that I have lots of back fat and belly fat, and I’m worried it would shift around/not fit on me. I’m female and wear a sports bra, and…

What name does the MyFitnessPal app use for "power snatches"?
Hi all, so I'm using the MyFitnessPal app to build a workout routine. When I go to add an exercise and enter "power snatch", I get no results. I thought this was a super standard exercise! Maybe I'm using the wrong term? I see "power clean" and "snatch" and "hang snatch" but no "power snatch". For an easy visual / video of…

Hello, My Fitness Pal recommends a calorie intake is 1700/day. I do Orange Theory every other day burning about 600 calories per session (according to their program). 1st question: Is the 1700 caloric intake a day already a calorie deficiency or just what I need to sustain. 2nd question: Why do I get a new set of calories…

Varying calorie goals by day
I’ve been learning about best practices for maintaining muscle while losing weight and I want to check my understanding… So if I have calculated a deficit of 300 calories, I’m wondering if I should eat at a higher calorie goal on days I am lifting weights. MFP does not attribute as many calories to non-cardio exercises (so…
