You were given 1200 calories and that is including the deficit you need to lose weight. Even if you don't exercise, you will lose weight eating 1200 calories. What is your maintain weight? 1580? 1200 calories is the lowest MFP will give you no matter what. 2 pounds a week may be a bit aggressive, depending on your current…

I'm not sure if it's the same because I haven't stopped using it entirely, but before I joined I used to cook with butter a lot. I mean a TON! I make homemade meals practically every night at dinner and I'd probably use 2-4 tablespoons (or more), depending on what I was making. I didn't realize how many calories it was…

How many calories does MFP give you when you put your information in? You will put in your height, staring weight, goal weight and how many pounds per week you want to lose. It will give you a set amount of calories you need to eat in order to achieve your goal. Try starting with that! It's usually pretty accurate.

I usually eat between the hours of 2pm - 9pm because it falls in line with my work schedule. However, I still have to count my calories. Intermittent fasting doesn't mean you can eat unlimited amounts of food during this time. (Not that you think this, just that some people do) It's very possible to eat all of your daily…

Try simply counting your calories while avoiding the foods you need to for your medical needs. Follow the calorie goal that MFP gave you for a while and see how that works out. Accurately measure out your all the food you eat (preferably with a scale). Be sure to log the right food entry that matches the food you ate.…

Stick to your MFP calorie recommendation. I found it to be very accurate for me. I feel like I see a lot of people wondering why they stopped losing weight without trying to accurately track their calories first. I don't know specifics about your medical concerns, so I can't advise on that. If you haven't been told one way…

Aww, you shouldn't feel so bad about yourself. ): I bet you look just fine! Just because you can't do deliberate exercise in the gym doesn't mean you aren't exercising. Working in a warehouse definitely counts as exercise, just not in the traditional sense. You're walking a ton and lifting packages. That has to count for…

This is what about 1 tbsp of oil looks like: Does this look like the amount you're using when you cook? Maybe you're not using as much as you think. 3 tbsp seems like kind of a lot for a couple of eggs. I know when I make eggs, there's no oil/butter left in the pan. I assume that it all gets mixed in with the eggs,…

It really helps if you're using a food scale to measure your food in grams or ounces/pounds. It also depends on what you're making and who you're making it for. For example, let's say you're making a pan of brownies and plan to eat them all yourself over the course of the next few days. You would weigh out all of your…

This song has been in my head on and off for a year now. I don't think I'll ever get tired of it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2LTL8KgKv8 I wear my sunglasses..

I unintentionally follow an intermittent fasting routine because that's just how it works out in my schedule. I wake up at 7:30am and generally do not eat until after work around 3pm. I'm usually done eating by 9pm. I eat this way because I enjoy eating a lot of food at dinner..So, it helps me feel like I'm eating a lot…

https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2014/10/20/pumpkin-streusel-bars/ I made this instead of a pumpkin pie last year and was kind of nervous that it wouldn't come out right..But, it was so good that I had to make it a few more times! It's perfect to make a few days early so it can set up in the fridge. So Yum!

For me, I consider when I wake up until the time I go to bed as one day. So, I would put it all on the same day. It would get confusing splitting my eating between two different days. I wouldn't be able to keep track of it as well. Maybe you can relabel your meal names to reflect times to help remind yourself. Such as:…

Chocolate frosted mini wheats is basically the only cereal I ever eat.

If you're watching your weight carefully, I would do the math and calculate for the larger pieces. (and the smaller pieces, too) For example, if the bigger slices were 50g each, you essentially ate 2.5 pieces of bread calorie-wise. (100g eaten÷40g per serving=2.5 servings) I find bread weighs more than what it says on the…

This kind of sounds similar to something that happened to me a couple of years ago. I had this heavy feeling in my chest and it felt like I had to breathe in very deep to be able to get enough air. I would also get this radiating sensation in my chest that would go down my left arm and sharp stabbing pains in my neck and…

If not too difficult, you could weigh the apple juice before and after the roast is done. The difference would be roughly the amount that the ham absorbed. Depending on how much apple juice is used to start, especially if it's only like a cup or two, I would just estimate roughly a fourth of a cup was absorbed and leave it…

What ingredients did you use in the cookies? I would double check the carbs in your ingredients vs the ones you put into the recipe builder. Sometimes the nutrition labels here in the database aren't put in correctly. Make sure that everything matches up with the ingredients you have on hand. I don't know much about Keto,…

Some sweet snacks that I often eat are: Granola bars English muffin with jelly Pudding or rice pudding Yogurt with granola Strawberry smoothie Oatmeal with a diced up apple

My smoothie recipe is a little boring. I usually just blend together a cup of vanilla yogurt and about 150g of cut strawberries and put it in the freezer for about 20 minutes since I use fresh berries instead of frozen. I like thick and creamy smoothies and find that milk or ice just waters it down. I'm not sure what you…

A serving is just what's on the nutrition label for each food. It changes based on the food and brand. Just make sure to double check each time if you're not sure. If the kind of noodles you're eating reads that 58g (2oz) of dry pasta is 200 calories and you measure out 58g of dry pasta, then it's 1 serving and 200…

The reason that the calories increase is this. It doesn't mean that 4 oz of cooked chicken becomes more calories once cooked. It means that if you have 4 oz of raw chicken, it will generally result in 2.5 to 3 oz of cooked chicken. But if you have 4 oz of cooked chicken, it means that you probably started off with 5 to 5.5…

Sorry not sorry Paul. Ha..Haha.. Nah, I do feel a little bad though. His reaction made me kind of sad. He was definitely crushed. :[

Mark, Kevin, or Jason at least. The rest are.. Bleh

I kind of want Josh to win.. I don't know why. Maybe just to see the look on Paul's face for coming in second again. >:] I feel like Josh grew as a person during the season and Paul hid behind him, as strange as that may seem. Also Cody for AFP. : D

Sometimes the only thing you can do is estimate at places like that. It seems like you're on the right track. If they're big pieces, you might want to count it a little higher just to be on the safe side. I looked at the Sbarro nutritional guide and two slices of pepperoni (552 each) and one cheese pizza (430) would be…

Try finding a similar meal at a big chain restaurant that lists the calories and log that. It's not exact, but it's better than winging it especially if it's something you do often.

Paul basically loses his mind when Jessica confirms she's going to use her hex. He was trying to get her to use it for herself next week and let Cody go home this week. And it seemed like, for at least a little bit, she was considering it because they got into an argument yesterday. But, the plan was to basically rally the…

Any respect I had for Paul and his game is gone after todays feeds. Wow.
