Soy sauce is something like 9 calories a tablespoon, same with vinegar. Tabasco and other hot sauces are ridiculously low like 1 calorie a teaspoon, and it's the same with herbs and spices. Some diet sodas have calories as well. Coke Zero has 1 or 2 per can and I have bought some other diet drinks that are a few calorie…

Did you enter the right quantities in the recipe builder? Did you choose entries with accurate calorie counts? You could log the individual ingredients into the main diary, divide the total amount by the number of servings and then quick add the appropriate calories. You can "earn" more calories for food by working out and…

Humble brags are the best. They always make me laugh.

I like steak well done. #sorrynotsorry I can tolerate a little bit of pink but no blood or red juice all over the plate. Nope nope nope. I have thin cut steaks in the freezer. I'm going to slow cook them with potatoes, carrots and tomatoes for dinner on Friday. I was vegetarian for almost 7 months but several bags of beef…

I've read a few times on these boards that new exercise regimes can cause water retention. Something to do with muscle repair? Slimming World works in the long term but the first couple of weeks will almost certainly be water weight rather than pure fat loss. Also, is she the same size as you? Being bigger often results in…

Is this the same as the Light & Free ones? Because I like those.

I'm fat. I'm one of those people that makes friends or couples look at each other when I come "lumbering" down the aisle (and if you think it's something myself and others like me don't notice, you'd be very, very wrong.) I started at 465 at the start of July, I was 451 at the start of this month and I have an over all aim…

Smoked back bacon cooked until it's crisp around the edges but still retains some chew. I can't stand it when bacon is cooked to the point of shattering when you bite into it. Gross. Mattessons smoked turkey bacon is good too, and Sainsbury's store brand frozen vegetarian bacon is not bad for what it is.

The (s) thing is meaningless in terms of logging. It's just there to pluralise serving amounts. If you can't find an accurate entry, create your own.

No, eating 800 calories won't shrink your stomach so you won't feel as hungry. You'll lose mostly water weight, feel lethargic and set yourself up for failure. Eat MFP's recommended calories limit for 1/2 lb loss a week and give up on the idea of quick fixes.

I haven't eyerolled this hard in a long time.

Threads like these are almost always designed to fish for compliments. "I'm so fat omg I have wide hips and a [relatively] small waist and I weigh more than my friends even though I work out a lot and eat right I AM SO FAT RIGHT?!" And then when someone's straight up and points out that, BMI-wise, they are a tad overweight…

If you eat at your maintenance calories, the calories used to produce milk would create a deficit to lose around 1lb a week.

I will never understand why people deliberately choose to eat less than MFP recommends. What's the point in signing up if you assume you know better than MFP's research and science-backed algorithms? Sure, you'll lose weight on 1200 calories. But are those losses safe? Healthy? Sustainable? At some point you'll need to…

They might be narrower but unless the tips of your toes are extremely fat, I can't see why your feet would go down a size.

For breakfast I tend to eat overnight oats with chia seeds and plant based milk, with whatever I have to hand for flavour. So either fruit, peanut butter, honey, Nutella, that kind of thing. Sometimes I'll have a turkey bacon sandwich if it's the weekend. Lunch is often soup and something. Like some roasted chicken or…

Sometimes I think I'm OMG SO HUNGRY! But I'm actually just bored and want to eat out of habit. Let's face it - most of us who are fat have no idea what it feels like to be genuinely hungry. We're used to topping ourselves up through the day, as and when we feel like it. So no, feeling hungry won't go away, but you'll…
