  • Just stuff that you can buy at GNC type places and everything I have can be bought locally and legitimately. I just wanna make sure. I could just buy protein bars wherever I go, so that's not a necessary thing for me to bring, but if I do restart my routine before then, I wanna make sure my partner and I aren't gonna get…
  • Well, for starters, you don't want to go less than 1200 per day after all exercise and food. So yes, let's say your number was 1900ish, and you were at 1200 to lose 1.5 per week... Then if you did 500 worth of exercise, you'd want to eat that back. You could lose more by not eating it, but going less than 1200 a day (net)…
  • So I suppose from the perspective of someone who mostly just cooks their own food from raw ingredients for a diet, it's better to just use the USDA numbers for "cooked" in there and then account for sauces/etc independently. And here I'd been reporting numbers wrong up til now, I guess. Which would explain why I've…
  • Most of the time I've seen it referenced, it's come from magazines, either paper or online... Some of them are known for being less reliable, but some of them are seemingly legitimate ones that you'd imagine would be researching their *kitten*.

  • You say yourself that you're still losing size, so you're obviously still doing something right. And, if losing is the goal, I'm pretty big on the idea that the number on the scale doesn't matter anywhere near as much as the size of clothes that you can fit into. Since I started my own diet/exercise regime 5 weeks ago,…
  • Just to throw it out there, is there a reason you need faster results or is it just a general frustration with not seeing the results? I'd second the idea of calorie counting absolutely everything to see if you're making a mistake somewhere. You do seem pretty attentive to detail, but I wonder if it's not just some slight…
  • It is in the browser, but not in the Android app. I had to use my laptop to enable my girlfriend's. It's in the diary section.
  • Both numbers seem a little off to me. But then, I open up a few different calorie calculators on the internet and get (sometimes wildly) different answers even when using the same numbers of an imaginary person for weight/age/etc. If anything though, My Tracks seems to be estimating very low compared to the majority of…
  • One factor is when you eat... I try to do the I.F. thing (Intermittent Fasting), though I'm far from hardcore on it. At it's most basic and easy level, it's simply a matter of not eating outside of a period of time of the day. So for the people who only want to do the most basic involvement, it's just keeping your eating…
