That's the problem with our social life revolving waaaay too much around food.

Yeah. It sucks for you, but while being fat is not genetic despite what many people like to claim, where fat deposits is genetic. That's why some end up with thin faces despite being morbidly obese, or some people have huge lower bodies while their torso looks almost normal.

You cannot spot reduce. The only way to lose them is to lower overall body fat percentage. If you're not losing fat you are eating too many calories.

Huh, that's a lot of posts gone.

Macro: Protein, carbohydrates, fats Micro: Vitamins, minerals, trace elements

It's quite good, you are weighing everything in grams, the best way. I see some entries that should be weighed as well - if it's possible and that is not you eating out - like slices of bread and pizza, hamburger rolls and chicken wings.

There is no way around this. The good thing is, it doesn't matter. Even if MFP harps about not enough calories (curiously, they don't do this is you were to log 20k calories...) it's still everywhere that matters, in your reports. Try not to go too low, as it is quite difficult to get enough nutrition on very low calorie…

If you don't want to work out more, eat less. I also see things like 1 serving, 1 piece, medium apple or 1 cup in your diary. This is an inaccurate way of measurement, actually weigh the food.

Only use cups or spoons for liquids. It's not a good measurement system.

And even if she did eat too little, she'd still lose weight. Starvation mode happens for actually starving people. You know, the ones that are dying. Starvation mode isn't the body conjuring calories out of thin air to make someone stay fat.

And I see things like 1 cup, 1 spread in your diary. Weigh it in grams instead, that is accurate and does not leave room for any error.

I say you are not eating 1250 because you are not measuring correctly.

And there you go. You eat too many calories. Weigh your food from now on with a digital scale.

What nonsense. If you eat too many calories worth of 'superhealthy' foods you'll still get fat. And carbs aren't the devil.

You can't outrun your fork. You need to work on your diet as well instead of just exercise. The exercise won't make you thin if you eat a calorie surplus, you need to have a deficit. Continue blaming it on your birth control, on your meanie husband and anything else but that won't make you lose weight. You need to do it,…

I'd ask them, sometimes they know even if they aren't a huge chain restaurant. Better than guessing yourself, I think.

They might genuinely think people are too skinny and mean no harm by it. 39% of the world is overweight. The BMI is also way too generous, and 30% of people with a normal one are obese by body fat percentage. That means the majority of people in the world is fat and has no idea what a healthy human is supposed to look like…

I don't do them. I'd just drown myself in cereal.

Stupid information is also to blame. HAES, magazines that push fad diets, nonsense like ~starvation mode~ (which someone with 30% bodyfat is certainly not in) self-diagnosing with rare diseases make people think they are not responsible for themselves. I can't lose weight, it must be dark magic, the Illuminati, my…

I love it too. Used to down about half a package before I decided to stop being fat. :D Now I gotta less. Could still eat mountains of it if I was allowed! I don't do cheat days though. That's something for tall people who do sports.

Cups of that and pieces of this are not a good way to measure anything but maybe fluids. Get a food scale, then you know exactly how much you are eating. If you add oil to your bacon, then add that separately. Then you also do not need to add any calories anymore and can make sure you get all the nutrition you need.

Have your heard about your Lord and Saviour MLM scam?

The supermarket I walk to to get some extra steps in sells rotisserie chickens in front of it. Mmmh, that smell, so mean. Might buy one. Dem calories tho.

How tall are you and what do you weigh? How much exercise do you get in? 2500 is very much for a cut. Very likely way too much for you. That beach body coach system is a MLM program. Any TDEE calculator can tell you better than them how much you need to eat.

So you take their meal plan and instead of 'syns' you count the actual calories? I'm sure that would work, a calorie deficit always works, but maybe you should just get yourself some free recipes from the vast internet. Track your meals a week in advance so you don't actually skip the healthy ones.

It's hard to change social values, And frankly, those people are probably all adults. If they haven't learned manners by now, it's probably not gonna happen anymore. Not much to do other than move away to somewhere people keep their opinion to themselves.

Time to stop talking to the parents then.

The recommendations for a brand of protein shake change based on what flavour you want. I'd suggest reading reviews for the standard brands (ESN, Optimum Nutrition, Myprotein, etc.). Obviously there are differences in opinion, so you might end up with a flavour from a brand that tastes not so good. But there a trends which…

You can log that, but probably shouldn't eat all of it back.

39% of people worldwide are overweight. And 30% of people with a normal BMI are actually obese too. People think you are too skinny because they have no idea anymore what a healthy person should look like. There are simply so many fat people that normal people start looking skinny. I'd focus more on your looks too, instead…
