My spaghetti tonight weighed 56 grams dry and 129 grams cooked :)

Not often, I think you're right about it not making a big difference. I'm just gonna pick a USDA entry for 85 or above fat content.
-
Nope, not today trollerella move along.

I wish I could compute the actual amount per serving for popcorn. The uncooked kernals vs cooked, and dont even bother with the microwave bags :/

Congratulations on your new baby! I remember my babies at that age Dont know why my whole post was lost? I had said that you will have to balance your calorie deficit with keeping up your milk supply.

Hi, can you check what the side effects of your migraine meds if you took any? I know ibuprofin can cause bloating if I take it consistently. I have heard of others getting bloated from it too.
-
I dont think you can "tone" much of anything with those 6lb dumbells. In order to get stronger you have to progressively lift heavy *for you*. That "toned" look you want is muscle. You want to reveal yours under the fat you're losing while dieting. I dont know whats heavy to you, but I bet its more than those 12lbs. I…

Hi, give me a few and after things settle down in here (hungry guest) and I'll put it together for you@middlehaitch.

Nope, the fallacy with your comparison lies in believing that I'm preparing to binge so I need to punish myself ahead of time. My stomach cant at this point hold a ton of food, but the foods will be calorie dense. By moderating the foods I eat daily and not restricting any food, I often have to choose. Sometimes I want a…

I'd much rather earn my extra calories through activity than not. I dont see anything wrong with banking calories for a big meal. I'm just confused where the calorie adjustment went. Its not like I binged and then went and tried to punish myself by exercising till I drop, to undue the damage. Im a planner by nature this…
-
Ok thanks, I hadnt thought of that. Its set to lose 1 pound a week.
-
Im kinda bummed because I just wanted a day where I could eat without sticking to 1330 calories for the day.
-
But can you tell me where they get the 84 calories? Why not just take them all away? MFP gave me 600 for the 80 minutes on the bike, so if I divide the two activities did I really only get 600 calories?
-
Oh, I forgot if it matters I'm set at lightly active on mfp.

I've just now reached the normal weight for my height bmi. At 5'3 and 139 I would gladly trade losing pounds on the scale for "ALL FAT LOSS" that surrounds my stomach. I dont care to lose another pound but I have no choice if I want to get rid of this gut. I've lost over 30 pounds and am happy with the rest of my body,…

You've lost nearly 3 pounds a week in two months. If you havent been accurate with weighing your food and choosing correct entries this will slow your losses. But.. . Two weeks is nothing to fret about considering how much you lost and how quickly. Is your diary open for viewing? Did you have MFP recalculate your deficit…
-
Awe :/ you sound very sad OP? Its going to be fine cheer up. How about you open your diary so we can see how you log everyday? Do you have any other fitness goals besides losing those pounds? I find that when I focus on being fitter and relax about losing the weight loss happens in time.
-
Not sure if this will help but I have a really good toaster oven for getting that crunch on my fries. I use it for everything and almost never use my big oven for a single serving of food.
-
Think of it as not being your food. If its not yours and you know the rules and dont have permission to eat it, dont touch it. It may seem petty but I've heard people being fired for a "bite of food " that wasnt permissible for staff. Get on a supervisor or a co workers bad side and that would be their reason to get you…

Those people are sick. They have a mental illness. To you and me we see the hot mess of their dangerous attemps to be thin at all cost. They however cannot see rationally. Stay away from there, no good shall come from even lurking that place.
-
Ok thanks, I'll give it a good estimate and roll with it!
-
Thats a good idea. This actually is the first time this has happened since I started back logging in March. I usually lick my plate :)
-
I have measuring cups that are labeled 1cup but one will only hold 238 ml of water vs 240 ml of water, what gives?
-
If I eat the meatballs with marinara sauce and vegatables I'm satisfied. When I eat the spaghetti and meatballs I'm hungry an hour later? Oh and I weigh my meatballs to get them even, lol! This always happens with pasta and I cant understand why. So Ive stopped having pasta for now.
-
Thanks all who have added to the discussion. Does anyone know how carbs affect stomach bloat? Or is there no connection? Also why do I get really hungry after eating pasta, like spaghetti with meatballs, but if I eat just meatballs I'm fine?
-
Ooh I love that exit strategy idea! Brilliant.
-
Ok thats clear, I'm just always confused when I hear people say low carb has to be a long term way of eating,to be sustainable with weight loss.
-
Whats the min time frame to see results for a female client begining strength training, while eating at a deficit? Carries most of her fat in her belly. 6 months, a year 2 years? Or is it all in your genetics?
-
Ok! I will update thie thread to let you all know what happens.
-
Ok thank you, I hadnt thought about that. I really dont want anyone to get hurt.
