Yes, I never got a shot, I rested it as much as I could and avoided the behaviour that set it off, use ice and heat and always stretch it and the surrounding muscle, and have it managed. I play a full contact sport that's hard on the legs and hips but surprisingly it was moving further away and commuting a busy freeway…

20 mins on the elliptical for me is 120-140 going medium hard on a decent resistance. I'm 5'5 and 135, cals come from my Apple Watch.

App called Zones.

I've been all about the toasties lately! Sara Lee wholegrain white (or something) bread is only 120 cals for two slices. Some deli chicken and mustard makes a surprisingly tasty sandwich and stays under 200 cals. If I'm feeling spendy, calorifically, cheese and beans. Tuna will probably do great too, might try that today…

I set a timer on my watch for 30 minutes or so and drink a bunch of water and carry on with the things I need to do. I reassess at the end, and generally the feeling has passed.

If you want to stay committed I recommend you reduce the loss rate and up your calories. I was where you were, 5'5, went from 175 to 135 and never dipped below about 1400 cals doing it, I managed on 1360 for a couple of days tops. It is slow towards the end, yes, but what's the rush? What happens after?

It's not on the bottles/packets but the database has the values. Curry powder is a sneaky one, and I bet BBQ powder is too. Regarding the veg, the veg portion of my meals is easy 50% of my cals. The diet you read where you could eat them unlimited was probably Weight Watchers or a variation, which attempts to teach habits…

Maple syrup and grain mustard mixed in a little hot water goes great over baked veg or meat. Lemon pepper. Rotisserie seasoning. Soy sauce and rice vinegar. Sriracha. Greek yoghurt seasoned with dill or ranch or onion or something. Tomatoes will cook down into a sauce and are especially good with indian and thai seasoning.

I don't really let that drive what I eat, but you do get to know the cals of things you eat regularly. With enough habit, everything is easy to log. I'm not a fussy cook though.

Hot goal in March, kept logging, did well. September/October sort of slid off a little, 4lbs later back logging. Caught it before it got silly.

And also not burning as much as you think.

I am betting OP regrets mentioning yolks at all now in a thread just meant to talk about how great eggs are.

Was someone complaining?

I typed then deleted a long reply full of expletives. I'm in disbelief, especially as some of the offenders appear to be female.

Can you be more detailed? Using the site or the app? Where are you having a problem exactly?

Only way to know is to try it out. If you're maintaining at 1600 and looking to gain, try upping in small increments of 100 cals a day every couple weeks and see how it goes.

I picked a goal weight right in the middle of all the "ideal weight" advice I could google up, and the first time my dad saw me he said I got scrawny lol... when I was about 10lbs from goal, a friend asked "from where??" those 10lbs would be coming. When you lose in a concerted effort, it's a huge visual change for your…

I'm 5'5 and 136 and MFP tells me I need 1640 at maintenance. I find it's quite accurate. I work out every day and eat the most of them so generally am actually eating probably 1900 a day.

Also: I'd suspect a logging problem first. At 1200 cals there'd be no room in my diet for cooking with olive or coconut oil, outside of a quick spray here and there. OP did you set 1200 for yourself? I feel like at that height and weight MFP would give you a few more cals.

^ No, sorry. Closer to your weight goal and being harder to lose weight is just a math problem. There is less room for error, and 50-100 cal mistakes here and there in logging can make the difference between losing and not. Even in a perfect world it slows down as you approach goal because you can't maintain as large a…

Coffee and a well timed carby snack. If I'm dragging *kitten*, a sugar free red bull.

I keep chickens and their eggs are the absolute best. In a bit of a seasonal lull right now but man when they are laying, it's eggs all the time. Can't bring myself to buy supermarket eggs.

I do the deconstruct and log, in general, but will miss some things depending. I also pad my calories with the days surrounding by going a little short if I need to, or do a little extra cardio. Booze is a problem though, I almost never want to spend my cals on it outside of exactly when I choose so it's worth it to me.

I keep scanning this thread title as "threw up dog food."

Tuna.

Seem to be stabilizing over last three days, 136, 136.8, 136.1, down from high 139s. I only really had 2-3 off the book days and went crazy on neither. I guesstimate only an extra 1,000 or so cals Christmas Eve and NYE, and I maintained my workout schedule.

I just saw a spaghetti squash bake on Pinterest, might try that and cook up some chicken to go with.

All of the above and it's also my impression that those static photos you see of the nicely sculpted abs are a moment in time that was prepped for and isn't a way many people look like at any given point in their day.

Sure, for $20 an hour. *googles how to become nutritional coach*

Lifesum is crap. It's pretty but the database is sparse and it does weird things with exercise logging from Apple Health. Back in the day I used a website called Fitday.com which worked great, see if that's still around. Edit: it is and my account is still there, dang.
