SWIMGRY is a legit state of mind :)

65g seems fairly low If you are 180lbs then 100-140g would be most recommendations (.6-.8 total weight)

MFP does not include purposeful exercise in your daily calories If you are getting extra cals for walking you can either treat as purposeful or consider adjusting activity level to compensate

I weigh - I take the total cooked weight of my recipe and use that to set serving weight So like it it’s 200g (for example) - I make my serving size 20 so every serving is 10g - then if I eat 50g I log 5 servings and go

Are you going over or under?

On feet 8hrs a day constantly moving - I’d argue pittntisllg even active would be appropriate Monitor your food/weight for a month and adjust as needed

I took a quick look at my LBS website (local bike shop) - based on your description - maybe a flat handle bar hybrid could work - trek is the brand I ride so familiar with - https://www.bikedoctorwaldorf.com/product/trek-fx-2-disc-womens-363116-1.htm…

That literally just means her calorie out is significantly higher than expected - you can’t outrun physics - I had a friend in college like that - he literally ate 5000cal a day to gain weight

Cups are highly inaccurate - they might be easier but majority of ppl recommend food scale and Oz/grans

I eat a bowl of cereal right before bed every night (mmm chocolate cheerios right now) - no issues with weight

2oz and 200cal is a dry serving - that is standard size on the boxes I buy

I mean a slice of Dave’s killer bread is 110cal - I’d say that is lower calorie

Someone who is anti-rice apparentky

Set your MFP to lose 1.5lbs a week; make sure to see activity level appropriately (mfp does not include purposeful exercise in your calorie goal); eat back a portion of exercise calories; weigh/log everything to the best of your ability

Unless those bloggers have RD after their name I’d ignore...

I eat 60% carbs. Day most days with no issues

I have a bulk rice recipe I use - I update it with amount of rice cooked and final cooked weight

Zombie thread

Are you at least talking to your treatment team? Can you try drinking calories - something like a protein shake that you could make fairly dense Set a timer and eat couple hundred calories every hour - doesn’t matter what you are eating you need to get calories in

If you are using MFP calorie recommendations then yes - it is designed so you eat back (at least) a portion of your exercise calories

What is your normal daily calorie intake?

Water weight from increasing exercise most likely

If you search food and add g I tend to have decent luck finding ones that have gram measurements included

I’d say make your own recipes - keep it simple - grilled veggies; add a protein and starch (your rice or potato’s) and voila Remember weight loss is about calories and not specific foods that you eat

20lbs in 5 weeks is on the agressive side - I would hypothesize you aren’t eating enough to allow your body to recover which is leading to injuries - on top of too much too soon

What are the common foods in your local area? Healthy recipes are in the eye of the cooker - you don’t need kale/avocado etc

You can try searching for food entries labeled net carbs

AFC is who makes out sushi at work and I find their counts pretty accurate

Likely a bad food entry where the calories don’t add up to the macros (ie one that has net carbs etc)

For majority of ppl MFP default calories work fine - log as consistently as possible; eat back portion of MFP exercise calories (base cals don’t include purposeful workouts)
