I made a big batch of Turkey Chili on the weekend. Ive eaten that a few times already :) 1 cup = 277 calories. Its super filling and equal on carbs and protein. Usually I make a little extra the night before for dinner and bring it for lunch

I cooked a big batch of Turkey Chili on the weekend and I have enough for a few meals this week !! 1 Cup serving is 277 calories :)

I just changed my activity level from Sedentary to lightly active. It has helped keep me on track and now I am not eating back too many calories because the MFP program adjusts accordingly. Sedentary accounts for approximately 5000 steps per day and light housework. Im lightly active. 10,000 - 15,000 steps per day plus 3…

You said it all in your first line ..... Moving and going out more... Is it possible that you were burning more in calories than you were eating ?

This is a great video !! Thanks everyone for your assistance. I dont eat back my exercise calories because 90% of them are just steps that I take everyday that fitbit syncs over... However I have changed my sedentary to lightly active. I will aim for ensuring I am measuring more accurately, eating about 200 calories more…

Absolutely !

I guess my question would be... what would this do to my intake/output. Im trying to determine the right caloric input and output for my lifestyle. At what point does one make a change ? Or does everyone remain sedentary for the base number and eat back the calories

I eat cheese in moderation. Also, I go for full fat cheese as low fat or fat free has too much sugar and other preservatives. They dont taste nearly as good either. So if I am going to eat cheese, I go for it and i go all the way. I ensure I have the caloric budget for it and i log it :)

Im following this post because I as well find the fitbit calories especially just for getting in the 10,000 steps is high and Im afraid to eat them.

I do have that as well but it is not allowing me to choose my week. My week goes from Saturdays to Fridays. It will let me review a full 7 days in the past, but it wont let me know up to today, from Saturday the 20th, what I sit at. Thanks tho. Never mind... Found it... For calories... :)

Im sitting at 3,083 Im going to get up and go for a walk !!

Thank you so much for this information. Here are my stats. I would love for you to assist me in figuring this out. 5'1 38 Years old. Current weight is 205.4 Started at 215.2 Looking to lose 2 lbs per week. My goal weight is 140 first, than 125 if I can get there.. but Ive never been there. I work a desk job. Monday -…

I guess what I was saying was... I dont look at normal everyday walking as "extra burning of calories" and If I didn't sync, I would still eat 1350. But now because its saying i need to eat those extra 350 calories that fitbit says I earned, i feel like I am eating too much. Im not working out... Im just doing everyday…

Thank you. I wasn't aware that fitbit only begins to give me credit for calories when i exceed the calorie burn estimate. I will start eating them back !!

I tend to plan my whole day 90% of the time first thing in the morning. If I wanted to have 1 or 2 egg roles tonight, Id add them into the dinner slot, it would than show me how much i have left for lunch. So I count it before I eat it.. Keeps me on track !!!

Excellent. I love hot. I usually will get wings , non breaded with hot sauce. Thats what I will have and count them as 75 calories a piece just to be safe - If they are breaded, I will count them as 125 calories each. Thanks so much for your help.

I joined and MFP says 1200 calories... This seams really low. Ive logged into Scooby (with no exercise) and it says...

Absolutely !!

Even if my treadmill workout is much more than step related ? Like high intensity uphill walking ? I know that is still steps but the heart rate increase alone would warrant more calories burned right ?

Thank you so much. Ive enabled negative adjustments. This is going to be a great journey. One last question..... My fitbit has now synced 84 calories.. im assuming from my everyday office job walking... so it has now told me that i have an extra 84 calories to eat (increasing total calories and increasing the macro…
