Those "boxes" seem to have about 3x the calories what I'd need for the whole day. You could wipe out a week's deficit and then some, so yes it could well "set you back." But - without knowing what's in your box and how much of it you plan to eat and what your current intake and deficit and weight is supposed to be, nobody…

How are you measuring the food you are tracking? Do you use a scale or what?

I wanted to bump here to post a relevant reddit thread from a day ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/xxfitness/comments/g7x06h/finding_unposed_inspiration/ Some of the recommended socials in there are great. If you're going to consume, at least choose mindfully.

"Fun" fact about Y2K: due to bureaucracy and it's occasional lack of agility, updates to government documents on dealing with the potential bug were still being updated in 2017.

For short runs I have a waist belt that fits my phone and car key, and I can fit my airpod case and a chapstick too if I want. TJ Maxx $7.99. I have a magnetic clippy thing that holds a 6-7oz water bottle that goes on back. For my 10k + I wear a hydration pack and that fits those things easily. I have a flip belt, that…

Wild mustard for me, that *kitten*, It is everywhere here.

Have you ever been tested for exactly what kicks you off? It's not always just all pollen. It is often certain types or even specific plants, which may be affected in their own cycles by weather and man. Also your allergies could be low level that are then kicked into overdrive by pollution. If you're determined it's…

This gave me an AHA moment as well. Topical, first day of big sun and my sunscreen reapplication habits already challenged....

I would say you're less exposed to allergens stuck at home. Pollutants are also less everywhere because of less traffic.

It takes some mental gymnastics, doesn't it? I think it's probably 50/50 split between completely self aware people who are willing to make a career out of selling an image and a fantasy of a lifestyle and aesthetic, and people struggling with their image and general happiness and desperately needing validation of any…

Some diet and exercise, some blessed genes, age, and much much prep, angles, lighting and editing - soooo much editing. Facetune all day. Photoshop all night. They are not walking around looking like that. https://www.reddit.com/r/Instagramreality/ https://www.instagram.com/beauty.false2/…

I'm attempting Lemon/Attar of Roses cordial today - I have an abundance of both just now. The simple syrup and leaves will steep overnight. I'm also toying with a lemon geranium scented cake as those bushes are going crazy right now too. I love anything rose!

Just add "cooked" or "raw" to your search words here.

MFP just offers straight calorie or macro tracking.

Lots of places are struggling to get their messaging coherent and pushed out clearly all at once. Rightly or wrongly, a lot of infrastructure was just not prepared, but we all have brains and can muddle along sensibly together. They can't say things like "wear a mask outside unless you think you don't need it" - they've…

Your slow is someone else's normal. No need to compare or judge, just enjoy getting it done!

I clarified in a previous comment that I chose the wrong word, but the recommendation exists and has all the potential to be escalated on a wide scale. I'm glad you're seeing compliance but that's just not true everywhere. I had a woman move TOWARDS me and brush by when I stopped to give her room. A guy in the post office…

I'm from the the Wirral (UK) and a common local dish is "scouse" which is a ground beef stew with onions and potatoes and carrots, sometimes peas, and if you're nasty, corn. We have a nice Cheshire cheese named for a local county. I thought it was commonly known that pasta was invented in China? Or is there some nuance…

Mayor Garcetti recommended masks in a video address last week and pushed it to socials, and Ventura county put it on their social media with a catchy rhyme. I didn't make it up or misunderstand. I chose the wrong word in "mandate" but the escalation of measures is a result of people not taking any of the stages of care…

It's not about running, it's about being outside and meeting others.

Los Angeles and Ventura counties just last week. And on the federal level: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/what-dr-fauci-wants-you-to-know-about-face-masks-and-staying-home-as-virus-spreads "Americans should wear face masks as a way to help stifle the spread of COVID-19, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the nation’s top…

A. What are you doing maintain your calorie count? I'm in maintenance and do a few days off log, a few days on. That hasn't changed. I still weigh each day and plan my meals. B. How are you compensating for your normal exercise routine? I usually alternate running with resistance work and a Monday night skate. I've been…

Until Apple make direct adding food possible, you're going to be at the mercy of third party sync connections like this.

Some cities are mandating them for being outdoors now. If people want to comply and be part of the solution, don't be telling them they're "not necessary." You've no idea how busy anyone's route is. Six feet distance was original six to eight and for normal breathing. Not a lot of sidewalks offer that kind of option, and…

My gym (Anytime Fitness) automatically froze everyone's accounts starting April, and will do a manual credit for the two weeks of March they were closed if you get in touch to arrange it. I voluntarily didn't go for a good week or ten days while they were still open so I'll pass on the credit and hope it helps them keep…

I'd love for just ONE of the popular food tracking apps to make a concerted effort to have a cleaned up database. MFP allowing us to report seems to have just created a list of reported things somewhere in their system, I'd be willing to bet nobody ever looks or changes anything.

I think OP was making a recommendation :)

Routine - and even write it down if you want to, and include a food plan. I already work at home and am practiced at it, and got restless and off track even so. I would also say you gotta move your workstation somewhere dedicated to only that, if you can.

Breakfast: yoghurt with fruit and add-ins like chia seeds, flax meal, sunflower seeds, no sugar cereal / toast and veggie bacon / oatmeal with fruit Lunch or Dinner: a soup or stew (I cook a big pot of something every now and then) and toast / a sandwich of tuna or egg or seitan (cook up a batch of 4 portions now and then)…

Your comment that I bolded is exactly what most people are saying. You can be a terribly unhealthy *insert diet type* eater of any kind.
