Alright thank you! I will start following the 1290 plan MFP is giving me and then try to be careful with eating back exercise calories. I'm looking forward to this since I always hated trying to reach the 15/1600 calories that online calculators used to give me. I recently bought a food scale so I can more accurately track…

Thank you for your comment. I could actually use advice on this. I am a fulltime college student, so my daily activity is low(walking to class/sitting @ a desk) and am the most active when I'm actually in the gym. I have stressed myself out a lot in the past with trying to track my macros, so would you recommend I just try…

I didn't realize MFP didn't include exercise since it asks how many days I workout/overall time. That's very interesting. Maybe the calories from the calculator I used are too high or I'm not burning enough off in the gym. I will try dropping my calories down to 1290 following MFP's suggestion. My only concern is since…

Before this last month I started at a weight of about 170 and dropped down to 158 in about a month with intermittent fasting. However, since December I've been stuck in a plateau and I can't drop below 158. I am considering at this point to drop down to the 1290 calories that MFP is giving me. Also, my food diary is on a…

My food diary is on a different account because I forgot I had this account logged in on my laptop and used a different email on the app like an idiot

I chose my activity level to sedentary because it kinda is. Besides the gym, my days consist of walking to class and sitting for hours. The most active I get besides the gym is parties on the weekend. Should I still change my activity level to Lightly Active?

Because before hand I used an online calorie/macro calculator and entered those numbers into MFP

Yes this is the part that always confuses me because you can never really know exactly how many calories you burn after a workout. Especially when people say there's an afterburn of calories when you do weight lifting. I just never know what to do in terms of eating back excercise calories. In the past, my last meal would…

I have the app my watch uses to track my workouts (S-Health) linked to MFP. I do notice it subtracts my exercise calories after a workout, but I am now noticing people saying tracker do often over-estimate. Even so, in the past I would not eat back my exercise calories as I would work out at the end of my day and my last…

I chose to lose 1lb/week on mpf and it gave me 1290 calories. Before I had used an online calorie/macro calculator and it had given me the 1600 goal. And when I say not losing weight, I mean I have been stuck at 158 pounds for about a month. And when I say I have trouble getting to 1600, I mean I usually don't have a big…

I went and switched it to 1lb/week and it gave me 1,290. Is this better?

I went and edited my goals to lose 1 lb per week and my new calorie need is apparently 1,290. Should I still try to reach for 1300 or 1400? Also when you say eat back half of my exercise calories, what would you suggest is the best way to do so? Like if I burn about 300 calories per workout(estimated by my workout watch),…

Alright thank you! I will try reducing my net calories to 1300. Which is actually kinda relieving since I stress about what else to eat to reach the 1600 I was trying to do before. I'm thinking maybe the issue is I'm not too active during the day so I don't need to eat that much. I used to be more active at my old job…

I've just been traveling by bus/car

Any idea what my macros should be? currently Im at 127g protein/148g carbs/66g fat. I am a fulltime student, so my daily activity is whenever I have to walk around campus or at work until I go to the gym towards the end of the day if that factors into anything

Oh woops yeah I just realized the app on my phone is using a different email. Should I make a new account under that email?

I have been tracking my food intake with the myfitnesspal app on my phone. I am trying to see if I can link them. Also, I workout at the end of my day around 7 once I'm done with classes work and will usually have a meal of a 4oz chicken or fish w vegetables if I did not eat before my workout and it is still my eating…

During my fasted state I only drink water or green tea (no sugar)

I'm 5'2 and 158lbs currently. I have a food scale I use to measure my foods and add them into my food journal. I use my fitness watch to calculate calories I burn during a workout, and its usually around 200-300 calories with my max ever being 420 calories

How do I do that? Im new to the discussion boards

I eat from 1-9pm and fast until 1pm the next day
