Thanks for responding, I myself also have a gluten issue but not celiac but I do stay away for the most part from gluten and dairy. Some dairy and gluten doesn’t mix well for me. And I do agree most woman are different when it comes to things like this. I’m not 100% sure what makes my endo flare up when I eat certain…

My OB is having me try something new for 3 months which is taking my pills and skipping my periods. I’m on week 2 of starting this, been taking BC since I was 18. Even went off for a month and still had pain with my period. I hope it helps with my cramps that I have 24/7 that’s what I’m mored worried about because my…

I don’t wanna do the IUD my best fiend had some bad things with that. My OB wanted me to do the pill for 3 months and have no period to see if that helps my cramp. Been on the pill since I was 18, my endometriosis cramps are 24/7 so I don’t know if doing this method will help with that but only help with the bad cramps I…

Thanks so much for your help, thank you thank you lol I will pay more attention and try to schedule my meals. I seem to always snacking lol

Okay lll try to stick to tracking fats and protein and see how that works out for me.

When it comes to math I’m not the best, who would I do that/add it to MyFitnessPal? I know since I have premium I can set things for grams and not % I do believe.

I eat about 130-145 grams of protein a day but still seem to be always hungry.

It’s always carbs that I go over, that’s the issue plus I don’t know what is my true carb intake.

It seems to be that I go over my carbs the most and some what my fat as well. I’m trying to figure out what carbs are good for me and it’s hard and I think tracking macros are stressing me out lol

I seem to always go over my carbs and not to much on fat but maybe 5 grams. I can never find the right carbs for me and I think that’s what I’m struggling the most with.

Because I seem to always stay with my calorie goal and just go over my macros

I’m hitting my calorie goals just been missing my macros.

Okay thank you so much for you help :smile:

Yes I wear my Fitbit on a daily don’t take it off unless it’s charging or I’m taking a shower. And yes it does have a hr built into it.

No, the number from Fitbit is for Fitbit alone. I usually add the calories burned from my lifting from my hr monitor till later that night before bed so that number from Fitbit is by itself from the entire day not including what I burn from my workout. But today I decided to use my Fitbit for when I was running so I guess…

Thank you 😊 for this help as well. I’ll start logging my foods through the scale rather then Tablespoons and what not. What if a recipe Calls for Tablespoons or cups should I still weigh it? Because sometimes it doesn’t say how many grams is in a tablespoon for that recipe. So I should eat about 1500 a day and stay at that…

The 3000 is from what my Fitbit has given me that I burned through that day from working out + from working. It’s usually between 2,000-3,000, and I’ve used different websites that calculated TDEE so I was just going from that. But Ann helped me figure it out by that formula.

Sorry I made it confusing or what not, I was just asking a question about the article I was reading. Wasn’t expecting to get so much feed back lol

Yes the 3000 is from the calorie burn from my Fitbit from the whole day of me working out plus working my active job. My Fitbit usually says around 2,000-3,000 higher end when I do a higher calorie burn and working. I’ll stop using Tablespoons and cups and try to use my scale more often. And yes your right about the 148…

Thank you for helping get my numbers, this really helped me understand it a lot better. So I shouldn’t add my calories burned to MFP? So don’t add the calorie back in?

Thank you, did what you said but man it’s tedious haha

I see now thank you, I plugged in my numbers and looked at the example that you showed and I got 1775. Dont I need to subtract that number to lose weight?

What I got was 160,335 after subtracting 20% from TDEE which was 200,419. That’s why I think I did it wrong lol Would it actually be 16035?

Don’t think I did it right, got a weird number lol

When your talking about logged are you meaning calories eaten or my calorie burned?

Thank you for that, how do I actually calculate that?? Add up all my weigh ins divide or times it by 7? What do I do next?? Divide or times my food intake?

Idk, I’m just on IIFYM and that’s what I got for my TDEE and it was at 2036. I work out 5 days a week.

Usually about .8 usually. And I weigh in every Monday. So over a week span, I also weigh everyday and take the average of my weight as well.

My BMR isn’t 3000

I’m not using my Fitbit for the calories I burn during my workouts I have a HR monitor for that. I have about 15 or so to lose. And I’m not wanting to lose fast, I was just simply asking a question that’s it.
