Ok so, jiggling about with tomorrow's calories I'd need to eat only 1317 of the 1470 maintenance calories that MFP has set me to actually maintain. Any ideas as to why this would be? That's a potential 153 calories/day I'd be overeating 🙄
-
And I've just done a "quick add" to make tomorrow's calories up to the 1470 calories and closed the diary - I'd gain 1.6lbs in 5 weeks. Something's not right 🤔 I want to maintain, not gain.
-
Sorry, I just checked again and it's a 1.4lbs gain, not 1lb. How is that maintenance?
-
Argh! I cant upload the screenshot of the recipes 🤬

Blimey, there's too many! Today my lunch was an 847g serving of the vegetable stew and a 194g serving of the potatoes. It totalled 345 calories.

What is "low calorie" to you?
-
I've had a lager, white wine and large vodka tonight - all within my calorie goals. If you want it, just make it fit in. If you'd rather "spend" your calories on other things, do that too.

Weigh all ingredients (raw) then weigh the finished dish after letting it cool down. In the recipe maker add the amount of grams that the dish weighs as amount of servings so say if it weighs 2345g then enter it as 2345 servings. When you're going to eat, weigh your portion and enter the grams as serving size, so if your…

I don't have cheat days, I have holidays where I relax my control over calories or I have refeed days. I've had 2 long holidays this year, after both I'd gained weight eating A LOT more calories than usual but within 2 weeks, maybe less, I weighed lighter than before the holiday. My refeed last Friday put me up by 2lbs but…

I agree. I weigh in daily in MFP and Libra (Libra is just habit now). I don't see any actual advantage to using Libra, in fact, sometimes it could demoralise me by looking at the trend reading. It's purely habit. MFP's progress page shows me the same weights just without the added stress of a (usually) negative trend.

I use my pressure cooker at least once a week (I only cook about 3x/week max.) It's great for chickpeas and dried beans. I do a kilo at a time and just freeze in bags after cooling. That way I've always got a protein source handy 👍 Yesterday I made a huge soup of green beans, tomatoes, chilli peppers & courgettes in the…

Oh OP, sorry but that's so funny 🤣 I realised last night that I'm using a lot less body lotion than I used to. Mine is in a pump dispenser and 2 pumps used to be enough for feet to knee, now those 2 pumps do the whole leg 😁 Same with my arms and torso, it used to be 5 pumps, now it's 2 😊

I wait until the food is cold, with the container lid off. Then I weigh the container, subtract the weight of the container (I make a note of this weight before I put the food in) and the result goes into the serving size box i.e., if it weighs 1234g then that's 1234 servings. When I dish out my portion to eat I just weigh…
-
Good for you OP 😀 Just out of interest, what is your daily calorie allowance and how on earth did you calculate the calories in these dishes?
-
I normally crumble feta cheese over the top but I've run out.
-
I picked up (yes, I struggled!) a 12.5 kilo watermelon today at the veg' market for the equivalent of 14p (Sterling) / kilo. We've still got half of a 9 kilo one in the fridge but I had to buy it because now's the time the price will begin to increase. I'm getting a little bit gittery about what I'll fill up on once…
-
I eat them straight, just a bit of lemon juice and salt. Nothing edible gets wasted in this household 😂
-
What are "diet foods"? You're on here, so obviously have an MFP account. If you want to lose weight why are you asking the OP what they eat and not entering your own stats into the guided setup and following the amount of calories that MFP sets you? Or are you just interested in how to drop 7lbs in 2 weeks?
-
The first one is melon with lovely crisp peppery roket leaves. It was so good ☺️ The second one was was my dinner tonight; melon, cucumber, feta, black pepper and Ryvita crumbs sprinkled on top. I also made it with fresh apricots, feta, mint and black pepper a few days ago but can't find the photo. I highly recommend using…

I forgot to post these photo's.

At the time of opening this thread I was overwhelmed by all the differing, random, generic database entries as I need to be precise. Since then, I've found nutritional info' that I can use. Generic doesn't work for me but I'm happy for you that it does.
-
If that works for you then that's great. It's not for me though.
-
I certainly read with a large pinch of salt, or do I mean cup......

Set your goal to 0.5lb/week, 1lb is too much if you only have a few lbs to lose. Lost weight doesn't necessarily mean the fat will come off from where you want it to though, it'll come from where your body decides to get it from. Also, that first 3lb could be water weight. Adjust your goal, keep on track with weighing, and…

You heathen 😂😂😂

I eat 2 meals per day, one of them is fruit only (the last month or so it's been watermelon - about a kilo each time). I get the rest of my nutrients from my evening meal. It's not done me any harm (I had full blood tests done just last week).
-
They're all different sizes and weights, thats why I wanted calories per gram. I never use generic sizes/volumes.

After I typed about cooking it in salted water I remembered that corn here (Turkey) is a lot tougher than the UK corn that I used to eat so I wouldn't add salt to the water for that reason, it does make it much tougher.
