Same here during the work week. Meat, starch, veg. Frozen, cooked rice has been a godsend, but is a little more expensive that buying bulk rice. I chop up the veggies during the weekend and just pan steam them when needed (3-4 minutes), and cook up potatoes for the week. I also second the slow cooker. When I use that,…

3 cups of coffee per day. 2 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon.

It's still important to remember that Whole30 is NOT a weight loss plan. It's most useful for identifying food sensitivities. Certainly not a magic bullet. It may reduce cravings while your on the diet, but once you introduce additional foods back into your diet and allow "snacking" then you back at square one.

My FitBit Charge HR and Charge 2 (I recently switched)calculates my average TDEE at around 2400. At 5'8", 176, and lightly active with no intentional exercise beyond 10k steps - i know that's just not accurate. So right now I've disconnected my Fitbit from MFP and just use it to make sure I always get in my 10000 steps.

I am at "lightly Active" for 10000 steps a day.

You could try to log the ingredients separately, especially if you know how much the meat is supposed to weigh, i.e. Quarter pound (4oz) etc. Then log the bun, cheese, mayo, bacon and anything else you have on it.

It will do the same things for carbs, sodium, or sugars or whatever you've set as your nutrients to display - it's not just fat.

I've been on Cryselle for 3 years now with no complaints at all

Okay, enough is enough. You keep posting this is multiple threads. Eating carbs does NOT stall weight loss. Period. Stop trying to sell your Keto consultation services.

Lol, someone is Wooing the people defending carbs. I guess I'll be the next ;) Seriously, though, I'm losing weight just fine while eating carbs. Is there any specific reason why you need to?

Yeah, you wrote 1 cup in your initial post. With these kinds of high calories foods you'll need to be extra careful with weighing, measuring, and logging.

I need to go eat some carbs now. Mmmmm....

I was a little afraid to Google this, but I was too curious. (It's safe) Wow, that looks interesting. What does it taste like?

I keep some prepackages snacks in the glove compartment of my car in case I need a pick me up. Just those 100 calorie snack packs. It helps if I'm stuck somewhere and I'm hungry. Maybe you can do that and have a little snack as you're driving home?

Me too!!

Bump

I don't see anyone in this thread trolling. What specifically don't you agree with?

It is still all about CICO. I gained 15 pounds (in 6 months) on a plant based diet, and now I'm here on MFP to correct it. You cannot eat unlimited pasta, pizza and french fries and lose weight.

The Day of the Zombie threads :o

Fresh baked bread with butter. Food without brakes!!

Your calorie target from MFP is calculated without any additional exercise. You have a deficit even if you sit on the couch all day. So if you exercise, you should log it into MFP and eat back a portion of those calories.

Okay, yesterday was successful as well: 122g nectarine 160g steamed cabbage 160g sauteed zucchini 50g pickles 240g cucumber (that was just one single cucumber :o ) 124g white potatoes 75g asparagus 932g of fruits and veggies!

Yep, meat cooks down and gets smaller so, if we had 4 oz of raw shrimp =140cal, and it cooked down to say 3 oz (for ease of math) - that 3 oz of cooked shrimp would still be 140 cals. So... 4 oz of cooked shrimp would be more like 175 calories. 4oz raw shrimp = 140cal 4oz cooked shrimp = 175cal

First, go with the package info. After the shrimp thaw, weigh 6 of them and see if they weigh 4 oz. Then eat that many after it's cooked. Also - Were your shrimp raw or cooked? (Like shrimp cocktail ready?) The raw weight of food tends to be less than the same weight of cooked food. So if your shrimp were raw, then 4 oz.…

I look at the temp app. It says 91 and I think... not so bad! Until.... Heat Index = 105-109 :'(

It's really easier, if I'm just cooking simple chicken in the slow cooker, a large amount of cut up chicken, or cooking ground beef for multiple people - to just take out what I'm going to eat and weigh that and find the cooked entry. If I'm making a casserole or anything else with multiple ingredients, then yes, the…

The only problem about always trying to weigh raw is when cooking meat in batches, like in a slowcooker or cooking for multiple people. I need to take my cooked portion out and weigh exactly what I eat, but I absolutely make sure to find a USDA entry that states cooked.

It's strange, but sometimes I feel like I actually get MORE food when weighing. Maybe I was being too conservative when measuring with scoops, but wowee!

Okay, day 1 wasn't bad. 100g iceburg lettuce 125g chopped tomatoes 125g nectarine (and that was only HALF of the nectarine - it was huge!) 250g sliced cucumbers 100g sauteed cabbage 100g sauteed zucchini and some pickles and that's 800g! Well.... maybe short a few because my kids kept sneaking veggies from me, but there…

I usually add 'usda' my search so I can get something that is more reliable. Also, I indicate if I'm weighing a raw or cooked item.
