I don't typically log water, but I do still have the option to do so. I'm using the android app.
-
Google informs me of several formulas/ ratios: - 'divide by 2.54': this would give a result of 393.7mg of sodium per one gram (1000mg) of salt - '39.5% of salt is sodium': this would give a result of 395mg of sodium You don't need to be that precise, unless you've got some very serious health issues impacted by sodium…

You can also select a weekly view in the MFP food diary, (in the app) when you're in the nutrition view (pie chart at the top of the diary)
-
You can still select via checkboxes, by tapping on the three dots and then on 'edit diary'. And you can turn off the food insights in the options: also via the the dots, choose 'diary options' and then uncheck 'show food diary insights'.

You can convert salt to sodium with this calculator: https://campaigns.heartfoundation.org.au/sodium-and-salt-converter/

It did actually take me more than two years to lose 75lbs. I had no issues with it at all, it was intentional. The trick is to eat in a way you can eat after you reach your goal, and be active in a way you enjoy being active: avoid temporary choices like banning your favorite foods, punitive exercise plans that you dislike…

I'm confused: does the bag state 100 kcal for one apple? Or does it give a calorie amount per weight? I tend to not trust any nutritional info based on units (like 1 apple), since there are bound to be variations in size, and companies tend to be a bit creative with their serving sizes.
-
When I look for a medium apple, I see 104 calories, which equates to 200gr (same database entry). Medium is a vague thing, weighing is more accurate. But 171 calories sounds like a huge apple, or perhaps you used a different database entry. In your place, I would look at the USDA food database (legacy entries) and find the…

Eating whatever and whenever he eats is still a possibility, if you can: - moderate the portions - change the proportions of the foods (for example less pasta, more vegetables) - and/or add foods on the side (for example: eat a smaller pizza, but add a salad on the side to fill you up) I always eat the same dinner as my BF…
-
Definitely: being more active requires more calorie intake.
-
Did you change any settings? Weight loss rate, activity level? That's one of the reasons your calorie goal can change. Another possibility: you've logged exercise in your diary - exercise increases your calorie goal because it increases your calorie needs.
-
I have actually read somewhere that fat loss can worsen cholesterol temporarily!
-
The new app has the same metrics as the old, you need to go to More > Health stats > Calories > the specific day you want to look at
-
Be careful not to confuse the date they joined the community with the date they joined MFP...
-
That feature is still there, it's just an extra step to use it: tap on the three dots and then 'edit diary' As for the logging streak: I'm sure it's longer as well than the 955 it mentions, but MFP deleted my older diary entries.
-
PS I'm wondering if the issue is: in the Garmin app, ALL active calories are added onto the calorie goal - it should only add active calories that are above your selected activity level setting? (MFPs calorie goal includes activity corresponding to the activity level you selected)
-
You need to compare total calories burned according to Garmin in the Connect app with the number MFP says it received from Garmin. So look at Calories in Garmin (NOT Calories in/out) And then compare with MFP and the number it got from Garmin, looking at the calorie adjustment - the number should be the same: Same number =…
-
Tap on the three dots and then 'edit diary' and it works just as before, I think.
-
On android, perhaps iPhone as well, if you turn your phone to landscape mode, you can see the details per food and per meal. Might take a bit of scrolling for smaller screen sizes and/or people who use the free version with ads.
-
The food database is crowdsourced. It's always good to check against food labels or the USDA database to ensure you're using accurate entries.
-
There's a good reason: the percentage relates to calorie intake. And fat has 9 kcal per gram, as opposed to carbs and protein which have 4 kcal per gram.
-
Et voilà: with some grana padano in the tomato sauce and mozzarella di bufala on top:
-
Your iPhone may be counting gross calories (including your BMR calories) while MFP only takes net calories (only active calories) into consideration. The longer the exercise lasts, the larger the difference between gross and net calories becomes.
-
You made me laugh out loud 😆 The cooking is 50/50 actually! (And the rest of the housework is mostly him) As it happens, I ask him to make me grilled ham and cheese sandwiches regularly, yum!
-
Chicken thighs with caprese salad (with heritage tomatoes) for dinner tonight, that took care of 2 of the 6 balls of mozzarella di bufala. Tomorrow: shrimp zucchini boats, with tomato sauce and grilled with mozzarella. It's BF's turn to cook, so I'm curious to discover what it's gonna be precisely 😆
-
FYI: this is a part of MFP I've always hated because so many people get confused about it: your fitness goals have zero influence on your calorie, they aren't taken into account at all. Only exercise logged in your diary influences your calorie goal, for that day. I'm guessing you chose a high activity level to arrive at…
-
Sorry for the harsh reaction then :mrgreen: What activity level and weight loss rate are you entering for MFP? Because 2700 calories sounds quite high. MFP's activity level is meant to not include exercise (only daily activity: work, commute, housework, hobbies...) - exercise should be added separately on days when you do…
