If it were me I would try to budget 900-1000 calories for dinner so I can eat what I want.

Commenting on your daughter's weight can make her more likely to be fat as an adult. The article cites a study that is behind a paywall, but it would seem the gist is that women who recall their parents being more critical of their weight were both more likely to have a higher BMI and higher levels of dissatisfaction with…

As an added note if you have your macros set to something other than default, doing this will restore your macro goals to MFP defaults, so it's a good idea to take a quick look at your macro %s before you recalculate so that you can set them back to your preferences. Personally find the default carbs setting to be too high…

You can be more flexible with IF and just make sure you don't eat until 16 hours have passed since the previous day's last feeding. Depending on your body's rhythms or your personality this can make adherence more difficult, but it's an option.

I'm new to fitbit, but from my understanding fibit will add your BMR to your daily calories in addition to the calories you burn through exercise. It sounds like you are off to a good start, just keep with it and you will see results in time. If the weight comes off too quickly you can have health problems related to that,…

When I started weighing my peanut butter I realized that my preferred style of PBJ comes to over 1000 calories. I really love peanut butter...

Thanks bumping this! Good post. :smiley: Adding 10% to restaurant meals is a good idea.

There are a lot of great things about the MFP community, and the constant bickering about intermittent fasting in terms of semantics is not one of them. OP: If 5:2 protocol makes creating a caloric deficit easier for you, then it's a great idea! Keep in mind that the more extreme IF protocols can be a bit tougher on women…

I know a lot of people, including myself, who got sick/felt like garbage when taking steps to lose weight and be more active. I can only imagine that the stress that weight loss puts on someone your size would make it much more worse. That said, keep with it! You can assess whether you are being a little too aggressive,…

I'm not freaked out. I just want an answer for people when they ask me what my goal is and not sound like a total idiot or like someone who is fooling themselves. Probably going to get questions from family over the holidays, especially since I'm asking for fitness gear for Christmas. When I was just intermittent fasting…

The scale wasn't very expensive, and has an app I can upload my weight to for tracking trends. Is there a particular reason why I can't just ignore the features that are bunk? Does having useless electrodes make it less accurate at measuring mass? I have a food scale already, thanks.

The goal weight I currently have in MFP is 150 lbs, so that would be about 100 lbs lost. Even knowing that the body comp scale is feeding me bull, 130 lbs seems very low for my body type. I wasn't even done going through puberty the last time I weighed that little! Even when I was thin I was always very curvy but muscular,…

Thank you for the great post! Question-what is the best way to account for preparation type? As an example, if I take 6 oz of chicken breast and then batter and fry it, do I log all the ingredients separately, including the cooking oil? Asking because it is pretty hard to know how much oil the chicken will actually absorb,…

This thread is really hitting home because I just finally bought my food scale last week and discovered I had been severely underestimating how much peanut butter went into my PBJ, which was probably a contributor in maintaining through most of November...
