Calories in mfp not adding up..
Hey guys, currently reverse dieting and I'm up to 120P, 155C, and about 35F at about 1415 total calories. I usually focus on just the macros because thats whats most important but I just realized that my calories dont ever add up correctly. The past couple days logs as about 1360 calories. I know I'm not always exact with…

New (Again) Girl
Hello everyone! I joined this group over a year ago, but I don't think I was truly ready for the experience. So, in essence, I'm sort of an in-between starter. I started a weight loss journey many pounds ago. I had a very cliche breakup (not eating, not sleeping) and I lost weight quickly and in the worst way possible. I…

I get up at 5 am every morning to fit in my walks/jogs and workouts. According to my scale (which I know is not really going to be…

Achieving Calorie Goals
I have been doing a reset and am now at my full TDEE of 2146 calories a day. Any suggestions on how to achieve this many calories a day and eating healthy. Yesterday I ended up eating a hot dog from Sonic, it was great and has been a long time since I ate something like that but am concerned that eating these types of…

MEtabolic Damage Recovery
Hi. I am new to this group. I posted pretty much the same thing on the main forum but wanted to see how many of you were in the same boat. I'm a runner/cardio addict (5'6" 110 for the past 4 years or so) who started having issues with missing periods, fatigue, major digestive issues, and brain fog about a year or so ago. I…

ONCE you have your TDEE and BMR...next step
I have received this question quite a few times so hopefully this will help (ofcourse please plug in your own numbers). Let's say your TDEE is 2300 then you subtract 15% so that you now have your cut value of 1955. Let's say your BMR is 1500. Ok, so now you know the numbers, I suggest you then go into MFP Goal custom…

I initially lost 24lbs fairly easily regained 10 and have yoyoed since then. I have just spent 30 days on a strict paleo diet…

Need More EM2WL Friends!
Hi, All! I'm just starting a reset and realized tonight that almost all of my MFP friends are netting really low calories. This makes sense, since I was doing the same thing until a couple of weeks ago. I'm not even up to maintenance calories yet, but am working my way up there. But, I would love to have some friends who…

Confused about progress, or lack of
I attempted my first bulk last winter, followed by a small cut, and have just been continuing to lift and eat at about maintenance since March. Planning to try another bulk in the fall… The other day, I finished up the notebook I use to keep track of my lifts. I started flipping back through it just out of curiosity and…

TDEE Break PLUS Gym break?
Just wanted to get some feedback on this: I'm away from the gym this week, so my workouts basically only my evening walks. But... This past weekend was a food fest, which bled over into Monday. So this week could very easily become my TDEE break (which I technically shouldn't do until next week). But is that advisable if…

At wits end
I'm sorry, but I just need a shoulder! For one reason or another, this is not working as expected. I weighed in this morning to see a gain of 1.4kg. This is on top of the same gain last weekend. Average calories consumed - over the last 4 weeks: 2055, 1999, 2083, 2102 Average calories burned (Fitbit) over 4 weeks: 2929,…

Switching from tdee to mfp nervous will be eating more!
I have been doing MFP for around 7 weeks now and lost 7.4lb (had 2 maintains due to bank holidays) my average loss has been around 2lb a week. I have 24lb left to get to my target, I chose the TDEE method when I first started which I set myself at “lightly active 1-3 a week exercise” just to play it safe in room for any…

Diet break anyone???
On day three of a week long diet break, just wondering if anyone else is doing the same

Do fitbits really help?
Thinking of getting a fitbit, and I have a few questions. Now I heard it tracks calories, can I average the number that I burn daily to get a more accurate TDEE? If I do cardio one day do I eat back those calories? I'm assuming it would be better than a calculator for telling you how much you burn, but has anyone had more…

TDEE for very active lady, am I doing this right?
Hi, I'm so excited to have found this group and am really enjoying my renewed energy level since I've started eating more. I upped my calories from 1800 to 2340 in the last two weeks. I came up with my tdee by using the calculator at fattofit.com but I'm still feeling like my TDEE is kind of a stab in the dark; not really…

Reasonable plan?
Love this board! Lots more useful info and very engaged and supportive members. Plus who doesn't want to eat more ;-) I am working on losing that 5lb "buffer" so that when I remove my cut and replenish glycogen, etc. I will be pretty much on target. I have been using a FitBit One since January, and aside from my resistance…

Coming out of Reset
I'm coming out of my 12 week reset, and plan on going into cut June 1. I'm really scared. I am a career dieter, I have been on a 2 years plateau.....I've finally freed myself from being slave to the scale and I'm afraid I may become obssessed again. I have gained about 15lbs overall, but I did gain a lot of muscle. i have…

Hunger
Hi everyone. Hoping I can get some insights and ideas as to what could be going on with my hunger. Basically I am hungry pretty much all the time. I would say 90% of the time I am hungry and seem to have an insatiable appetite. I feel like I have tried everything and nothing has worked longer than a few days. I plan on…

TDEE for body composition change?
First, I want to apologize if this is a little all over the place... Okay, so, even though my scale weight isn't what I originally thought was my "ideal" - I think I'm pretty happy with my overall size/body image right now. I've weighed the same (within 4 lbs) for 18 months regardless of eating at TDEE -15% or 20% or…

Would like a confirmation.
Hi, I've been here before but it was such a long time ago I just want to make sure I got this right. I've been away from counting calories for a whole year, and in that time have defo gained some weight. A lot of the time especially the last few months I've been eating a lot of junk food, especially take-aways. I did work…

I haven't tracked my calories for a long time, I used to be neurotic about every single thing I ate and I dont want to go back there again. I had a very…

Should I be this hungry at 2000 calories?
I read up on EM2WL last year and was chugging along when we found out we were moving internationally and I stopped tracking food, but kept on working out and living life, which is pretty active. I've put on a bunch of muscle since I'm way less squishy, but I'd now like to cut so the world can see it too! HeyBales's…

anyone else doing a full reset right now?
