My shorties, how much do y'all eat?
I'm 5'1 and 101 lbs. I've been slowly trying to up my calories/hover around maintenance. I'm eating about 1,700 calories (used to eat 1,500-1,600), lift 4x a week, and try to get my steps or light cardio in. Being short it's hard not to pack on the weight quick! Any tips for lean bulking without gaining too fast? I've…

Five years
I joined My Fitness Pal on 23 February, 2018. Today marks five years. Guess what? IT WORKS!!!! Before I was on MFP, I was using a service from the US Department of Agriculture called "SuperTracker." It was non-commercial. It was much more klunky than MFP, but it was a public resource. I had some success. I was happy with…

Steps and calories
Hi, MFP is counting my daily steps and converting them into calories, but when I then go and do a workout to gain extra, the calories from my steps are removed. Why is this, why is MFP only counting the calories from my workouts and not steps? I am using Apple Watch and Iphone. Thanks.
