This is for Anyone who uses an iPad or iPhone and is confused by the deficit. After just going on a laptop I have realised the laptop version clearly shows under goals that there is a deficit built in to your daily calories. The iPad app does not show this at all which is why I was a little confused. So for anyone who is…

Usually after but if I'm making my own recipe I might do it at the same time. That way I can see how large or small a portion I ought to have out of it.

You can also jump on the scales straight after.....yes we all know we do!

Sounds delicious. Will give overnight oats a try. New shopping list to do. Thank you

Thank you. That makes sense. I may think about upping a little more on the days I exercise to reach the calorie goal. Particularly as whilst I want to lose a few lbs my main aim is to be fitter and healthier. Too much dieting could ruin that! I'm looking at long term benefit rather than short term. Thank you everyone.…

Thanks Thanks everyone. In reality I'm eating about 1500 a day with the exercise and just a few days lower. Feel great so will keep going as it is.. Long live the Vegetable!

I was definitely eating more this has really opened my eyes to healthier eating..

48years 5ft8 141lbs. Agree that it's low but happy to lose less. I am new to exercise as well so am eating most of them back. Finding it good just have to be sensible on a rest day. I am still confused though....is the deficit not already built into the calorie number. If it isn't why does it ask how much you want to lose…

That sounds delicious and great way of freezing in bulk...can you tell me what the calories come out at. I might try this. Thanks

Sorry to be so thick but do you mean the oats just sit in the liquid and at no stage do you heat it up? That sounds so easy. As you can gather I'm not much of a cook :( Do you then eat it cold or would it be possible to warm up in the morning? Trying to get healthier.. I simply use one of those pot oats that you add hot…

Any seafood other than tinned tuna. So wish I did but the smell and taste makes me feel sick. I can't tell you how many chickens I get though on a holiday when my partner eats nothing but fish. Also any fat on meat.

I actually missed breakfast this morning , naughty I know but had a really long sleep. I like a slice of wholemeal bread with sliced banana and a little bit of honey on. Otherwise I tend to have porridge and fruit.

That's a very good point about not getting too much moisture as I particularly don't like the over soggy coleslaws. Thank you for such great ideas.

Look on the blog...and the old blogs...loads of ideas.

It did the same for me I was on 1130 on my iPad. I changed my goal to half a pound instead which I feel more comfortable with.

Don't have biscuits, crisps or cake in the house..if it's not there I can't be tempted. Healthier for the kids too :) Always have salad and fruit in the fridge. Log everything including milk in coffee. I drink too much coffee :) As I've only just started only time will tell but started well. Also logging the calories has…

I reset to .5 lb a week and I am now on 1380. This feels far more in a comfortable range for me. I hope that with the extra excercise I will lose nearer a lb anyway, thanks everyone.

I will get today over with which is the full week and then reset tonight on my computer. Will put in .5 as suggested. With my exercise plan this will hopefully be a little more anyway. I calorie counted many years ago and hated it but have to say MFP is really making me understand the relationship between food intake and…

Thank you I really appreciate your advice. What a great site.
