Perhaps the longer you run the more flies you accidentally inhale. How much do you log a fly at?

When I am tracking this is exactly me, but it's more because I'm afraid to get to dinner and be hungry and not have enough. No matter that I know I've rarely made a normal meal over 600 cals, I feel weird if I have less than 1,000 left late afternoon. What helps me is knowing that if my deficit is too steep, my run the…

Yass a dead thread resurrected by the OP and good stuff!

Broccolini lightly pan fried with a bit of soy sauce = perfection!

I've made two recipes with canned beans lately that did not suffer from using one can instead of two, and one recipe even called for three cans of beans! A serves 6-8 affair!

Los Angeles announced gyms can open tomorrow, I'm in Ventura and assume we will follow suit as these are likely state guidelines. I have a decision to make on whether to cancel or not. I've been running and hiking and liking it just fine. I could probably do with adding in some strength work but body weight is fine, I'm…

Ah this looks like perfection!

The answer is always Pinterest. Nobody knows what you like or don't or what equipment you have or how much time or your grocery access or budget. Pinterest is magical for finding recipes and then getting led on to more of what you like.

With those stats your loss is necessarily going to have to be incredibly slow and there's little margin for error.

Yummm. I remember thinking I was losing my mind because it just was doing nonsense maths and I was convinced I had done something wrong and couldn't see what.

One veg can be worlds different to your palate depending on how it's cooked. Sautéd zucchini is a bit gross to me especially if it's over cooked even a little, but grilled/broiled I'll take it all day. A few veg are fine boiled but kinda amazing roasted - cauliflower comes to mind. Pick a veg you already can stomach and…

Beef oxo is in the database - use one cube for every spoon of bisto you think you used. The meat juices can probably be counted half as oil. Add it up and log what portion of the whole you think you had.

I had a time like this once with servings and a new recipe and it was just not making any sense at all. I probably gave up and found a database entry instead. Features seem to hiccup every now and then, even without updates the bugs do come and go.

The "minute rice" microwavable cups are fine. I do my rice in the IP or my electric steamer. Brown rice use a 1:1 ratio and IP for 15 minutes with 5 NPR and then QR. For the steamer I think it takes about 45 mins. Both are easy clean-up and hands off.

If you want low skill fresh-ish there are so many really easy things. Twice this weeks I've chopped leafy greens (one night collards and another chard) and cooked them in a bit of oil and then added some canned beans and cooked rice to heat and there's a decent dinner. First night I plopped in some curry paste and a bit of…

I'm trying. I haven't weighed in a couple of weeks. I may use the scale again at some point but I was in a pretty tiring cycle with it that I am trying to distance myself from. So far so good!

That was some fast work since this morning. Seriously though, it's a free tool that's basically crowd sourced. There are good entries, find and use them and they should be the ones that appear first next time. Should.

Beans and eggs? Honestly that sounds like no fun at all.

Well you probably know this already but vegetarian as a weight loss diet is not going to yield better results than other ways of eating you could not adhere to. It's just about maintaining a calorie deficit. That said, you may suck at cooking now but that doesn't have to be true forever. I don't think you'll make much…

You need an iPhone to run an Apple Watch, FYI.

The order you do those in won't make a difference to your rate of loss. It will only be more or less comfortable for you - sounds like you have a good routine going so no need to mess with it except for if it's inconvenient. One thing to consider is some people find that exercising right before trying to go to bed keeps…

If you can find McVities Digestive biscuits, they make an amazing crumb crust for pie or cheesecake.

I don't know how much measuring you do with the spoon but stick the jar on the scale, tare it, and then take what you need and use the grams instead. Small differences over a lot of condiments might get you a quarter or even half pound a week deficit.

I just looked at the last two days and I feel like it's logging accuracy. Your numbers are all very round - unless you are measuring to the exact numbers on purpose you are guesstimating somewhere no? Like has been said, with high fat, that fuzzy math can get out of hand quickly.

Binge purge? Honestly OP I kinda look at it the same, but gentle corrections over time.

Didn't know whether to add this here or in the volume thread - bottomless pit of hunger this week so getting back to those big plates... lotus root with onions and peppers in a mix of prik king and yellow curry pastes, added some coconut aminos, agave and coconut powder. Rice is about half a cup of brown rice and a whole…

Is this happening - you cut your calories because the allowance "seems" high and after a couple of days you feel like you've been trying really hard and are just really hungry and it's not working and man so hungry so you just say ah feck it and for a day or half a day you overeat a bunch of stuff - but you've been dieting…

Ah another thread where the herbalife icon hasn't actually read the OP. As to the original question - supply and demand, and ethical flexibility.

The "cooked as directed" implies 100g cooked, but then that "allow 100g per person" is stupid because how do you know what that is dry before you cook it? Pasta is about 200 cals per 2oz dry (so 56g) - your box is saying 156 cals for 100g cooked.

For those only adding workout cals, I believe it works well enough because with fuzzy math you're sort of taking care of that problem where the exercise cals are potentially overestimated, but that's taken back up by your general daily activity. Which is fine until you get to goal I think when the math becomes more…
