How to hit my carb intake (MACROS)
Im a carb-aholic ...when it comes to eating. Only when Im being moderate and healthy I cant hit my carbs. Mostly because if I add in the "bad carbs" to fill the carbs then Im over on sodium or calories. I guess the real probelm is I dont know enough "healthy" carbs to make the most of my meals. Any pointers or guiders.

Inconsistent available calories between app and website!
This morning, the MFP website was down. I refreshed it after about an hours, and it was back up. I signed in, and the one food I logged was not yet syncrhonized. I refreshed a couple of times after opening the app, and it finally showed up, and funny enough it also showed up reflecting the exercise adjustment. My app,…

If you’re eating less than 1500 calories, you’re not healthy.
Unpopular opinion from a former ED patient, but an average teen/young adult needs at least 2300 calories. Once you become and adult, that number only gets a couple hundred calories lower. I get that people have different metabolisms, but if you’re intuitively eating (eating when you’re hungry, stopping when you’re full)…

Ignore my old post. Let’s talk (educatedly) about holiday food!
I see a lot of people on these forums say that they’re so nervous for the holidays, and they’re afraid they’ll gain weight from eating holiday meals. It reminds me of the old ED forums where the people would have full-on panic attacks about the holidays. It even reminds me of myself, terrified of being caught doing…

Need… More… Protein!
While I’m not as afraid of going over my calorie goal as I used to be, I still want to maintain my 1700-1800 limits while still reaching my protein goals. Too often I find myself going over my carb goal, while having barely gotten half of my protein for the day! I love carbs and I’ll forever stand by them, but I want to…

WEIGHT LOSS Frequently Asked Questions: Infographic Answers
So rather than overwhelm people with walls of text, I've been slowly gathering a couple of infographics either that I've made myself or that are posted regularly on the boards that might make it easier for noobs to see how things work. I'll start with a couple and add more over time. If anyone else has any good ones please…

So you're new here...
I've spammed this in hundreds of threads... I figured it was about time to give this info a permanent home. 1. don't trust the initial setup that MFP provides. If you put in the wrong/inaccurate information, it'll tell you to eat an amount that may not be applicable. 2. Make sure you eat enough. 3. Figure out what works…
