I personally think it's too soon and so will not be partaking of any of the things you mentioned for some time yet. The guidelines are a compromise between public health concerns and economic concerns. If they were solely public health there wouldn't be any question we'd stay locked down. Additionally, just because the…

I haven't heard about mine here in CA but I know other states are preparing to open gyms and I saw the list of what one TX gym was recommending and advising for sanitation. It just didn't seem like there would be much point to any of it - the efforts seem more performative than effective. Restaurants and bars here are…

Which island is this? What you describe just there sounds like an unsustainable fantasy. I always find it interesting to see how different cultures have a combination of grain and vegetarian protein to come up with a complete protein, in spite of food science being a relatively late development for humans.

When you find one without the unit you want, try another. The database is a hot mess of partial duplication.

Without being accurate, you just won't know. It is what it is.

I would leave them in your total for tabata style training. When I'm doing other stop-start kind of activity I keep an eye on my watch and pause if my HR goes below about 110. I find that gives me a decently accurate end result if I am concerned about my cals.

I tracked it all and lost weight on schedule and with no plateaus or surprises.
-
I was going to comment that this was a bit excessive, too. Perspective is important!

I know health and wellness is always treated as the innocent, good thing you wish for partners and friends and so on but if anybody should know how personal it is, it's those who found their way here to correct something with their life and habits. Occasionally there are posts here from members who have taken to a new…

I had seen pics of people putting clamshell plastic pods, like you get strawberries in, over growing fruit but never really researched the realistic options that are out there. I bagged a bunch of peaches today as well as the few figs coming in on my recovering tree (it needed a severe prune two years back and is still a…

Vodka soda with lots of lime. These days not much boozing though, I seem to have lost the fun in being altered. Last night I did a Zoom happy hour with an O'Doul's shandy :D

Oof, accidentally made my post go poof. Try again... Mulberries are out in force just now, so I made a compote of sorts, needed more lemon to jam up properly but perfectly delicious and edible. I also made some lavender syrup and used that with my lemons for some soda and also in icing for scones yesterday. Been able to…

As far as macros go, another reason to not worry so much is that the database items themselves may not even be accurate.

I lost my weight and have maintained for three years and have literally no idea, which is probably meaningful in some way.

"Yes but." There's a significant space of difference between the average person who doesn't work out at all, and the kind of person who does a couple days of cardio and a couple days lifting and eats a vegetable most days. Then there's the gap between those people and the "super fit" with visible abs and whatnot, and it's…

Tonight's super veg dinner - kitchen fridge is not cooling so all my veg is crammed into the little spare we luckily have. Week of 90 degrees, great time for fridge issues... quick steamed some fresh cut corn, on spinach with a spiralized zucchini, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and avocado with some Bolthouse lemon basil…

What kind of Nikes and what kind of foot pain? Are you going from no walking like this usually, to an hour?
-
When you get your stock home and realise the fridge/freezer is on the blink... yikes. Repair person on the way, cross all the things for me. Bonus:

Don't forget "only ingredients you can pronounce."

Apple and MFP have your resting about the same, it's everything else that is the problem and it's just due to how MFP and Apple Health don't play well together. Current solution is to disconnect MFP and Health, and use a third app called Pacer to pass the info between the two (so Pacer connects to Health, MFP connects to…

The body analysis scales are incapable of telling you anything really accurate about your body composition. You're not doing anything wrong, you just need to be sure of your intake and outgoing numbers and the answers will present themselves. Also I'm still interested in knowing if you are open to something other than…

We have a variety of citrus trees in one area, some lemons, one nice mature lime, a rough lemon that I guess was never grafted on to, some struggling apples and slope full of what I think are nectarines but haven't fruited yet that I can tell. There are a couple that are citrus but I never saw fruit on. Yesterday one of…

To add to the above, your weight when you were a teenager may not be a realistic one for you as an adult. You literally weren't fully cooked yet, and had a vastly different lifestyle than the one you will be leading as an adult. Going from there, you can loosen up your defined goals from just weight to how you are feeling…

I have cinnamon roll dough in the bread machine. Needs to come out and get prepped and proofed in a few. Dinner may well be pastry.
-
Sure can. You may still see a scale spike but it should even out.
-
I saw a recipe for "tuna salad" made with garbanzos that called for chia OR hemp hearts. I don't mind chia but unsoaked they mean a post lunch flossing is probably required lol. I'd try them for a new kind of add-in.

Ordered these last night after seeing someone on YouTube cooking with the prik king paste...

My man herb bed looks a lot like yours. I gotta take my kneeling mat out there and just get on with it. I was even thinking of trying to get some weed block back down there and mulch it maybe. And it's too late for my garden and the mint, it's everywhere. Healthy though, lot of mint tisane I think. Also my "rocket salad"…
-
A good, chewy white bread. Fresh I will just put it in my face, or toasted with butter, maybe marmalade. When I was a meatie I could destroy a French loaf with some salami and parmesan. Ugh yes, bread for me.

It's the same as for any way of eating - weigh and track your food carefully so you can be sure you are eating in a reasonable deficit, and stick with it.
