Both caffeine withdrawal and drastically lower sodium can cause headaches so try adding some back in and see if that helps. I found it much easier to slowly decrease when I quit caffeine than to go cold turkey.

0.5?

I use P tracker too and I find it's incredibly accurate, versus fitbit which seems to always be off a few days even though it should know by now.
-
Not if you weigh all your ingredients raw and then weigh your serving cooked. The total weight of everything raw ≠ the total weight of everything cooked.

What do you do with tvp for breakfast/to make it sweet? I've only ever used it in place of mince but I'm keen to try it other ways!
-
Scroll through the days and add it to your diary on a day in the future, just don't delete it until you've copied or added it to the correct day/time you're eating it.

In aus it will have the kj for "per serve" and "per 100g". It also states the amount of serves per pack, so I will know the amount for "one serve" will be one half, or one quarter, or one tenth etc. If it doesn't have that over there, I would look at the weight of the total package and mentally split it into 100g amounts…

Yes, same here in Australia, the whole thing is the 'base', the outer edges are the 'crust'

This is what I use, it really does taste like chocolate custard!

Currently around 136lbs, this seems to be my happy weight where my eating and training habits keep me maintaining. I am satisfied with recomping at this weight but would ideally like to be around 132. I got down to about 125 a few years ago, before I'd discovered weight training, and I can see now how much better I look…

If you're getting enough protein in your meals your snack could be anything you enjoy, high or low protein. If you did want high protein, I'd recommend quest or other bars, edamame, individual greek yoghurts, jerky etc as I'd find them easier to eat while commuting. If you do still want to get some protein powder, I'd go…

Granny Smith apples. I eat one a day *most* days and have done so for at least 13 years, since I started high school. Love them.
-
Bread slices are annoying if there's no 1g or 100g option but the bag should say the weight ie. 80g for two slices, you just have to do the math and figure out what number to log. In that case it would be .275 of a serve.

Just create a new entry

The whole family pack. Which I definitely bought with the intention to share :D

True. An iced coffee usually comes with milk, coffee and ice cream. Coffee, milk and ice is an iced latte, while coffee, water and ice is an iced long black.
-
Oh man the caramel mnms. I tried them once a couple of months ago and ate the whole packet, I just can't buy them again, they're too good.
-
But there have been days I've not logged any food, but I have been on mfp (on the forums), and my streak has remained intact. So it's just being on the website/app, not specifically logging food, and for the OP, logging food retrospectively isn't enough to keep the streak alive. I believe that's right anyway, if not…
-
I mean I get it, it just seems like it would make more sense if your streak would actually be you logging food every day, not just jumping on the website. Though, the amount of days I've been reading through the forums is an achievement, right ;)
-
The streak only takes into account you logging into mfp, not you actually logging your food, so if you go 24 hours without visiting the website or app, it won't count. Silly, I know.
-
This. It took me a while to understand that just because I can eat more doesn't mean I'm still hungry. Learning to appreciate the feeling of being satisfied with food is a really good lesson, and will come with time when you're tracking and know for sure that your body is getting adequate calories and nutrition.
-
I love vegetables but if that's all I was eating, I'd be bored too.
-
My goto oats lately has been oats and chia seeds with water, then mix in hemp seeds and cottage cheese. Lumpy and thick and warm, I love it. I would probably add some sort of sweetener on top as well, if you aren't able to add berries or banana.
-
Does it change the calories based on the protein? Ie. if you put in 10g of protein and nothing else does it change your calories to 40? (10gx4=40cal)
-
I change it when it starts to jump either up or down without much reason. If I eat Chinese food and it's up 2kg, I get it. If I eat veggie and bean pasta and it's up 2kg, I might change the batteries. Regardless, if you're in doubt of the scales and it's been a while.. just change them.
-
Exercise doesn't matter, you can and will lose as long as you're counting your calories accurately. Also, with those kind of long hours, presumably you have 1-2 days off? Or at least a lot of time between shifts? You can exercise at home when you have a chance, or start walking/running/cycling.
-
That high of a protein goal is most likely a waste of money and good food unless you eat an incredibly meat heavy diet. What is your calorie goal? My advice is to ignore that macro page entirely. Click on the nutrients page and never change it again. Aim for your macro goals by gram, not percent.
-
Or hold down on the entry and an option to delete should pop up
-
Redo the guided set up or go to goals and change your rate of loss, then change it back. Your calories should update.

Muffins. Any other baked good has its place, but not muffins, not anymore. So many calories and it's just never quite as delicious as it should be! I'd rather a doughnut or some cake or a danish or anything!
