I love roasted cauliflower in coconut oil and curry. I made a batch and the family eats it all before dinner!

We're close.. 5'3 1/2" 148 current 130 goal Bf 33% Top m-l Pants - 6; size 27 jeans Put 5 lbs on 5 years ago and then another 12 lbs over the last 3 years. Want to lean out.

Have you tried kerry gold light? That's what I use. Plus ghee, coconut and olive oil like the rest. I have kids so I need to use fat in their food.

think handstands not balancing on one foot

It just says "yoga, stretching" I'm looking for something more vigorous/active

I'm 44 w/3 kids & FT job Height 5'3" SW - 147 CW - 144 GW - 125-130 * I used to be 115-120 but at this age i think a few xtra lbs keeps my wrinkles filled in. :) I'm curvy & proportionate. I've been tracking for a few weeks & have a FitBit. Open diary (not always pretty). Love some connections.

I've run multiple marathons and never trained with sports drinks but had some juice (particularly liked apple) and sometimes a bar. These days I just drink coconut water but I'm not running long distances. Never tried the dried fruit, but that would work. Don't try something new on race day - people told me that but I…

I have the same thing. I'm finding that I'm high on fat & low on protein in general. I try to start most days w/1 egg, 2 egg whites to get started right. I found that if I add a greek yogurt that helps with the protein and lower fat. The thing is I don't eat that much dairy so I'm bringing it back in my diet.

This is the best explanation I have seen of fitbit negative calories. For the first time of reading about negative calories, I fully understand it now. Thank you[/quote] I agree. Most explanations get lost in details - this is simple. This should be bookmarked.

4. Do you mean I can increase my activity level from "sedentary to lightly active"? TY

OK, I'm going to enable them again tonight. Interesting that I have never seen a minus 100 in the am, do you see that on MPF? Thank you for your lightheartedness, I'm glad I'm not the only one that this has take time to sinc in! Do you add in any exercise calories? How do you know your FB it accurate? I have about 15 lbs…

Ok, this is a good explanation and I'm starting to get parts of it now. For some reason I wasn't picking up that deficit was referring to cutting calories for weightloss. several more questions and then I'm done: 1) why would someone want to disable neg. calorie adjustments and not eat at a deficit if you are trying to…

Don't you mean my negative calorie adjustments should be disabled day to day as I have my MFP settings set for 'sedentary" and then log in my exercise - (either cardio or strength training) ... and then a day out of the ordinary, like my weekends of active housework/errands are enabled? ... I am so thick in the head.

Ok, this makes sense, except despite the fact that I am college degreed and love the metrics of fitness ;) I cannot seem to completely understand what "negative calorie adjustments" mean and eating TDEE "minus deficit". I read the bookmarked pages a few times and it just didn't stick. Maybe because it not applied in a…

I just picked up the Polar HRM and agree that my calories burned in 35 min of exercise is about 100 less than what MPF gives me. Do you sinc your polar watch to MPF or just manually adjust the exercise until you get the right # of calories.

I usually try to do everything via the app, but it doesn't give you all of the options. I.e. Diary settings

I'm don't want to eat back all of my exercise calories. My IIFM works out to be 1263 calories 152carbs/77protein/38.5fat/32fiber I'm trying to stay under 1500 calories

I am logging exercise and its linked to my fitbit

Oh I see- so it sticks to %? I wish I could make it measure against a specific #.
