The weird amounts are when I make a casserole or soup. MFP lets me make create meals. I can make soup and eat it over 3 or 4 day period and when I go to divide it up that's the way it adds it to my diary. When I do make my meals I write everything down and what I have vs. what MFP has is usually fairly accurate. Ive seen…

Oh I can definitely tell you on hiking days I eat a lot. Trail mix, high cal protein bars, fruit, and freeze dried meals when I overnight. It's just too hard to keep up with the cals on those days. Throughout the week when I'm doing my normal routine I eat around 1450.

When I originally started my weight loss journey a little over 2 years ago I walked and done a low fat diet. I walked an average of 5 miles a day. The first year I lost 80lbs. For starting out you are doing great! Keep up the good work!

Same here. I've lost 80lbs and feel great except I can't get rid of my stomach. If I wear a dress I look pregnant. I'm working on though.

Actually, I've never heard of this. I'm definitely going to look into this. Thanks! Good luck to you on your journey too!

My cheat days involve only 1 bad meal and it's not like I go out and eat fast food. I may have a steak or pasta etc. The rest of my food I eat on that day is what I usually eat throughout the week just not weighed out or in excessive amounts. I just like to have a day where I don't weigh everything. Your example about the…

I'm not over the hill but I do a lot of hiking. (Hiked about 400 miles this year) I love It! The first of October I'm actually doing a 160 mile hike on the Appalachian Trail and Benton Mackaye Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Plan on taking 13 days.

I did back in December. It was suggested to me that my body is probably tired of being healthy and working out all the time. I went a full month ate what I wanted and did not work out. I gained about 4lbs. After that other people suggested doing the keto diet. So during my off month I researched and got my macros for that…

I, thankfully, do not sleep eat. I did use to be an emotional eater and I still fight the urge to eat when I'm mad or stressed. Only meds I am on is a low dose birth control. I've been on this for 7 years so i don't think it is the problem since I started my weight loss just a little over 2 years ago. I see my doctor for a…

Everything gets weighed. I may lick the spoon after cooking that doesn't get counted but that's it. I don't see a fluctuation after my "cheat days" but after a hiking day I'm usually about 5lbs. heavier but it comes off within a couple of days. I figure that gain is from not getting enough water throughout the hike.

MFP shows 1447. and the calculators that you can find on the internet average from 1440-1500 that I've seen for my height and weight so I'm usually within that range. I have "cheat days" where I don't weigh or measure anything. I don't over do it and eat junk food all day or anything like that. It just gives me a break…

Yes, I weigh everything with my digital food scale.
