You can customize your meals, up to 6 different ones with your choice of names.

And what would that setting do/ what do you think needs to be different?

Satiety really values from one person to the next. For some people timing matters: they feel less hungry eating fewer but larger meals, or it could be the oppositie, less hungry eating more frequent smaller meals. Or time of day could matter - eating more in the morning or more later in the day. For some people macros…

More than likely you're using incomplete food database entries. The food database is mostly crowdsourced, so you'll need to look for better database entries or correct an incomplete one.

Or option number three: subscribe to the premium version and you'll have access to a specific setting.

Thanks for the encouraging and kind words! Before December things were already a bit 'iffy' because my metabolism is a bit quicker than Garmin estimates, which gave a false sense of security that indulging would go unpunished. It was true but only within reason obviously, not the level of overeating I've 'graduated' to…

That may be your personal experience, but there are many people here (including me) who have the opposite experience. For me, counting calories has been the only successful way of losing weight. It won't necessarily be a good fit for everyone one, but stating how 'simple' weight-loss is and to just stop counting calories…

Generally speaking, I think counting calories is not recommended for people with a history of ED (based on what a friend with an ED told me). So it would make sense that people with an active ED are active on this app. I would recommend asking your treatment team about using this app And as for the community: we do get the…

I'm wondering if you're looking at old threads/old posts on long threads? Image sharing has changed on these boards, old threads often have images that were hosted on Photobucket etc and have been taken offline since then. I'd recommend going to more recent threads/more recent pages - if the images were uploaded directly…

On top of the already good advice above, a few questions for you: Are you sure it's fat and not loose skin? Are you sure it's not related to your posture? Have you tried stomach vacuum exercises to strengthen your core muscles? Just in case abdominal fat is not the issue 🙂

If you are 150cm and your weight is 38kg, you are very underweight (BMI 16.9). At that weight, perhaps your body is trying to tell you something by pushing you to eat more?

Inaccurate logging fitness trackeroverestimated your calorie burn your metabolism isn't statistically average (which can contribute to fitness trackers overestimating)

I've made pork tenderloin with a sauce using actual chocolate (not just cacao powder) and vinegar - a sort of sweet and sour sauce - which tasted nice. Imho pork works quite well with sweet and sweet/sour.

I agree with the second part of your post, but not the first part 🙂 food labels are quite different in the US and the EU (and more than likely other regions): different layout, different units and different nutrients. Even within the EU the layout can vary quite a lot depending on the size of the packaging. But it would be…

What's the timeline: are we talking days, weeks, months? How many calories are you consuming? Have you changed your activity level? For example increasing step count or starting exercise? How are you logging your food: weighing everything, using volume measurements (cups,…) or generic units like 1 slice/1 apple/…? Making…

So no change in weight for how much time? If it's only been a few weeks since you starting lifting weights, you're probably retaining water for muscle repair, which is masking fat loss on the scale. PS: if you're aiming for a 1000kcal deficit, it is very unlikely you'll gain muscle. But strength training will help you to…

There seems to be a link between PCOS and insulin resistance. Some women with PCOS find it helpful to eat a low(er) carb diet for that reason.

You can see friends' diaries by going to your friends list, tapping on the person's username and then on the left icon to go to their diary. Once you're in their diary, you can copy and save meals.
-
That's already an option. If your food diary is open to friends and your MFP friends with your husband, you can copy and save meals from each other's diary (and then tweak if necessary).

You want to lose 2.3kg per week (5lbs per week for non metric people) - that's an extremely aggressive weight-loss rate. Unless you currently weigh 230kg or you have really serious health conditions that warrant urgent weight-loss, I really don't recommend losing that fast. It comes with serious health risks, and aside…

Avocado contains around 15gr of fat per 100gr so it's never going to be low fat. But they are healthy fats. I just eat avocado plain with a spoon or occasionally in the form of guacamole on my sandwiches.

I have no comparison with an official VO2max test, but I also have the same experience of Garmin seemingly estimating high versus Runalyze. Garmin has me at 46 ('superior') and Runalyze at just under 36. I'm not a natural athlete, so 46 is very optimistic. I should specify that I rarely run outside, so my Garmin VO2max is…

Poaching is pretty easy. The method I use is pretty much just heating water (or broth) till it simmers and then add the chicken, put the lid on and set aside for 20 minutes. https://www.recipetineats.com/poached-chicken/

It's only been a month and that's including some very drastic changes along the way. The most notable change being a significant increase in exercise, which is notorious for causing water retention (especially strength training) masking fat loss on the scale. Some advice: Use other ways to judge progress: progress…

Hm, that's strange. In the diary settings you can choose the 5 nutrients you want to track, but that's on top of the calories column which is mandatory (for me anyway) https://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary-settings

If you save your ingredients as a meal, rather than create a recipe, that meal will be added to your diary ingredient per ingredient. That's one of the reasons I never use the recipe builder and always use Meals.

Are you sure? The iron goal is in percentages so that's why the goal is 100: 100% of the RDA (whatever number that is).

Oh, magic shoes!

That's Dr. Now, known for the TV show My 600lb life and specialised in bariatric surgery. I suspect scammers are just using his face for credibility and he has nothing to do with the ads?
