How accurate is Garmin Connect?
Hi all, I'm looking for people who are using the Garmin Connect app for their phone or computer who are using the Calories in/Calories out app feature. It looks at the amount of "Activity" throughout the day then adds to the calories you are allowed to eat to stay within your stated goal on Myfitnesspal. It's very handy…

Finally found the answer!
I’ve tried everything I could think of. Pills, shakes, injections, doctors diets, calorie restriction, calorie increase, self hypnosis, WW, dieticians. I’d lose a few kilos and then gain them right back WHILE STILL FOLLOWING THE DIET TO THE LETTER! Sound familiar? I’ve discoved intermittent fasting and I really believe…

Good morning. Upped my calories this week and I can't get over how well I feel. Slept through the night one night-dropped a half a pound too. Curious if anyone one here has used Liift4 workout in conjunction with this way/lifestyle of eating?

Need Help Finding True TDEE
In 2018 I attempted to go straight to the cut phase after consuming what I now know was less than my BMR and being sedentary for some time. I did eventually up my calories but I have gained a significant amount of weight so I’ve come to the realization that I wasn’t eating enough calories AND I need to do a metabolism…

When to eat breakfast? What to eat?
My gym time is 5:30am for 45 mins each day. I don’t know if I should be eating breakfast prior or following my work out (Cardio for 30 mins followed by weights for 15 mins) or really what I should be eating?

I don't understand how MFP comes up with estimates
I'm not real great at logging every day since I literally eat almost the same thing every day. I buy and make the same thing. I realize it's boring, but I'm finding that my health conditions there are certain foods I can't eat. But at any rate, how is MFP coming up with numbers when it says "if every day were like this,…

Late night thought
I feel like I’ve tried every diet in the book recently (kind of an exaggeration) and nothing works because I can’t sustain it. I recently tried Keto, but I didn’t know how if I could keep it up long term and decided I just needed structure to my eating to keep me from overeating. I like SparkPeople because they have meal…

Relearning portion sizes
5 weeks back on track towards my weight goals, and for two meals in a row, I am surprised how generous realistic portions appear to me now. Last night, I planned on two servings of homemade spaghetti with meat sauce, but stopped at one serving when I saw how much food that really was. And again today, for lunch, I am…

Thought I was eating TDEE but loosing weight.
So I thought I was eating my TDEE of around 2150, but have been doing so for a couple of weeks and am loosing weight. I have just started this (two weeks ago).

Love the idea of my new diet being "eat more"
Hi everyone, I have been reading through the threads here and seeing how this eating more thing is working/not working for people.

Asking for Clarification
So, I'm just trying to figure this out... My TDEE is 2110 and my BMR is 1535. I use a Fitbit. I'm starting with the reset, so eating my TDEE. As long as my exercise calories are not more than the difference between TDEE and BMR (500ish), I DON'T eat them back, right? For example, if my exercise calories are 400 for the…

This was in the Health Food section at our local…

Adjusting BMR?
Hey everyone, quick question. As we lose weight our BMR changes, lowering the amount of calories overall we should eat in a day. My question is how often has everyone been adjusting for BMR and TDEE changes? It seems like there could be a little leeway here so I am just hoping to get some feedback since many of you have…
