Do you have a fitbit or something like it with the negative calories checked? If you haven't moved at all for the day, it may adjust your calories by saying you did negative exercise which will in turn lower the calories for the day.

I did something similar. But I pretended to talk on the phone with someone so the person in the drivethru thought the meal was for someone else. There was noone on the other end of the line and I was asking "did you want regular or curly fries...". AND then, I've been in weird hangover moods where I would get one thing…

I third this. These are very good as well! And I think these taste wayyy better than Walden Farms. Granted, I've only tried the Balsamic Walden Farms but I threw it away right after I tried it. 5$ wasted.

Ken's light blue cheese is wonderful!! 80 cal for 31g(2tbs) of dressing and only 1g of sugar. Ken Steakhouse dressing is where it's at. Sometimes, I use hot sauces for dressings too. Those have sodium but very low cal.

That's crazy to me. On days when I get 5 hours or less of sleep I feel as if I'm hungover. Meaning, I want to eat everything greasy and bad for me insight just to wake me up. Can I ask OP how tall you are? Only eating 1200 a day for a 49yr old male seems very low.

I park behind my husband. That way, if I'm parked behind him and my alarm goes off at , I know I have to get up to move it or he won't be able to go to work at 7. That's my biggest motivator. I feel bad if he has to move my car just to get his truck out of the driveway to go to work. AND, his truck is too precious to sit…

I drink 2 glasses about every other night. I make sure it fits in my diary. I love red wine. It helps me calm down after a long day.

Jamie has a bunch of alternative workouts to the ones you would do in the gym. BUT, I haven't paid much attention to those so I don't know how many there are. I'm sure you can find something else to do in place of wide grip lat pulls or seated cable pulleys etc. You can check out the program ahead of time to see what it's…

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I have a Charge HR as well and it's terrible. The average HR is bogus if you're doing any other cardio workout besides walking/elliptical/running. If I do stairmaster or stationary bike, it's bogus. So, I have gone back to my old Timex chest strap HRM. But, it's like 4 years old. It still…

I have learned not to trust the calorie burn on those. BUT, if it's accurate with the average heart rate, plug that into a heart rate calculator online. http://www.shapesense.com/fitness-exercise/calculators/heart-rate-based-calorie-burn-calculator.shtml You have to be careful though. I have a fitbit that is not accurate…

That's a great point about the switching things in and out. I've heard other's ask how can they pre log and then change things... I never understood that. On Sunday I pre log my week. But I weigh everything the day or night before. I know some people that make all of their food on Sunday for the week but I have no clue how…
-
^^EXACTLY! I pre-log up to a week in advance. It helps me keep my sanity. When I get back from the gym, I just look at my diary and I know exactly what I need to make for my breakfast and lunch to take to work. That way, I'm not spending more time trying to figure out if my macros will be in order for the day. I pre-log…

Ok. Thanks everyone! I will continue to do what I'm doing because it's sustainable. If I get to a point where I want to cut, I'll cut my calories more. ugh. Not looking forward to that!!

I plan my weekly meals in mfp on Sunday night. I atleast plan up to Wednesday and then Tuesday, I plan the rest according to what food I have to make in the house. On weekends, stuff happens, so I can't always plan ahead. Like yesterday, I did plan to bake the chicken in the fridge for dinner after my vball double header,…

What's day 30? I'm 2-1/2 weeks into Phase 2. I love it. The leg days are absolutely killer right now. I do substitute some things though. I will never in a million years do donkey calf raises. I think it's absolutely insane to have that on her program. Who wants to have someone sit on your back at a gym?!?! AND I'm pretty…

Dude. you know it is possible to eat half a banana right?
-
Just type anything that sounds good to you into google with the word low carb or keto after it and you will get a butt load of recipes. Parmesan crusted pork with brussel sprouts was a good one. Tuna patties, salmon patties, low carb waffles, chia seed pudding, cloud bread etc etc etc. There are a lot of recipes online.

Ok. Here is my two cents. You know how I got out of my two very physical/mental abusive relationships? My dad. The first one I left the state with the dude and the final straw after all of the mental abuse (you need to lose weight..you should get a boob job..etc) was when he literally put his hands around my neck and…

How are you all doing? I did her program back in 2013 and loved it. Since then, I found a lot of programs on bodybuilding.com but I liked hers the best so I started her program from start to finish 6 weeks ago. I'm on week 2 of Phase 2 and the cardio for sure is making it a longer gym sesh, but I just have to remember it's…
-
Well, first off, you spelled collage wrong. That's scary. Also, why the heck are you in the gym for 1.5-3 hours?? What could you possibly be doing for that long? And every day for that long, too? Something is not right with your diary. Open it up for other's to see if you want their opinion. Good Luck.

I am so so so sorry to hear about this. When I lost my dad, my emotions went straight into food. I said, he ate bad and had a heart attack, so I'm just going to eat like *kitten* too. It took a while, but I was able to get back on track and made myself healthier than ever because I did NOT want to end up like him in the…

Switch it up? It doesn't have to be the same thing every day. Today is chicken and buffalo cauliflower. Yesterday was tuna and hardboiled eggs with celergy, wednesday was low carb turkey chili and cloud bread, tuesday I had chicken and buffalo cauliflower/broccoli, and monday was a salad with a chicken thigh.
-
Low carb chili is a must. Low calorie soup is good too but if they're not homemade, you can find lots of added extras you might not have planned for. BUT, if I'm craving something warm, I try really hard to just grab some hot tea and drink that. Sometimes when I think I'm craving hot chocolate or whatever, I try to just…

http://leangainsguide.com/carb-cycling-calculator/ http://scoobysworkshop.com/advanced-fat-loss-carb-cycling/ I just checked these out again. Starting back up this week.

Then unlink them and just put the exercise in manually? I removed map my run from MFP a while ago because I would run a couple miles at 6mph but it would input into MFP as 5mph. I just figured it was easier to input those things in manually.

I had this question a while back and it was answered here on the forums. BUT, what I've learned is this (just like quickeysilver was saying): I have frozen chickens in the freezer, I'm not going to thaw them out, weigh them raw and then cook them. I will throw them in the oven or on the stove, cook them, and then weight…
