Well.. I can't imagine, if it's just water and nothing more. Honestly tho, I've tasted Nestle water and its nasty lol so if its giving you a headache, maybe try a different brand? Or maybe get a britta?

Macros are what calories are made up of. Carbs, protein and fat. Nutrients are the nutritional make up of the foods For weight loss, all you need to do is eat the calories mfp gave you. The purpose of macros is based on your own needs, a lot of people like to hit their protein and fat goals and then whatever is left is…

It does make sense even from his stand point, even tho I have no idea what he is taking, how can you learn if the medication is essentially doing all the work. I think this guy may be going through what I went through the first time, like... when I started vyvanse the first time, the suppressant effects were alot stronger…

@PAV8888 I don't know which drug he is on, so I can only comment on the vyvanse. My thought is, based on the conversations with my eating disorder psychiatrist, is that the vyvanse is technically supposed to be used in conjunction with a therapy I havent received yet. I dont know much about this therapy but from what he…

Unless your doctor has advised you of a health condition, that requires you to avoid these things, it really doesnt matter. Eat whichever one you like best that fits in your calorie goals.

When you signed up for mfp and put in your stats, they gave you a calorie goal. You dont have much weight to lose so an appropriate goal is a half pound per week. If you picked anything besides that, it's too aggressive and not realistic If you workout you need to eat atleast 50% of those calories back. I would also…

Personally I would go to a doctor, you are bleeding and while one person could have a nose bleed from maybe being too dry, you could have a serious medical condition and shouldnt shrug it off based on a stranger getting one also

Counting macros will not help. You need to count calories. With only 20 pounds to lose, you need to set your weight loss goal to half a pound per week and make sure you eat back 50% of any exercise you do. Eating below 1200 calories is not safe. Your weight loss is going to be slow, accuracy in calorie counting is…

Also I just want to add that while you are on a medication that suppresses your appetite you are still responsible to eat even when you dont feel hungry. On vyvanse I dont want to eat either but I need to be responsible enough to take care of myself and make sure I'm eating the right amount of calories

Yes because you are a man and the min is 1500 calories. Eat more calorie dense foods https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10142490/a-list-of-calorie-dense-foods/p6

Look, no one is saying dont share a success story. We don't care if you, yourself, want to waste your own money on products. You earned the money, you are entitled to also waste it. You would of also gotten comments telling other users who come here that Herbalife is not a product that promotes or aids in any real results…

What is your plan? What are your goals?

You can add friends and see their progress, chat, cheer each other on, share meal ideas and goals, create groups or join groups that have weekly challenges

This app is all one needs to lose weight as all that is required for weight loss is a calorie deficit and nothing else.

Eat the calories given to you when you signed up. Make sure your weight loss goal isnt too aggressive for how much you have to lose. 2lbs per week = 100+ pounds to lose, make sure your goal is set appropriately if you only need to lose a few pounds, the best goal is .5lbs per week for safe and healthy loss. Make sure that…

Most days I dont really crave anything sweet, it's been like that for a while now even before I started mfp, and I dont know what happened because I was the type that could eat 7 or 8 chocolate bars in one sitting. Lol Every once in a while I will crave something tho and I do leave some open calories at the end of the…

I'm sure pinterest has a ton of recipes to check out, if you type in vegetarian freezer meals

I was just wondering if maybe you could get any scale and just remove the tape when you wanted to see and then reapply I guess maybe that wouldnt work if you wanted the daily record I suppose lol

Hiding my food was something early on that I developed, when I was young, before I even started grade 1, my mom was probably just a little younger than I am currently, she had a lot of her own demons and while my dad worked, she wanted to sleep late into the afternoon. When I would wake up, making any kind of sound was a…

Mind if I ask about the weigh ins being covered or hidden? Do you just look at it once a week? Or month?

Nothing wrong with shakes if they work for you and fit within your goals, I'm sure there are people out there who struggle eating their calorie goal and find drinking them easier

I would suggest having a glucose meter, if you dont have one. Only because you need to know how your choices are effecting your sugars, if you can successfully lose some weight, this potentially could bring sugars down, but if not, medication will be required

I was gonna link to this video earlier but the boards kept getting deleted lol

Lol. It was a delight to me way back when, when I realized sugar alcohols were also taken off the carb count, as a diabetic myself, it really opened up the world of sugar free treats But sugar alcohols do cause gas if consumed in bigger amounts, so be prepared to fart all night if you have a little night of chocolate or…

If you want to make your own entries to only include net carbs, you can. But as far as the calorie count on the package you took a pic of, its correct with the 50 calories

You dont digest fiber, that's why its subtracted from the carbs, so if you dont digest it, it cant count towards calories because you're just passing it through. That's why for diabetics they subtract fiber and sugar alcohols for a net carb count cause it's the net carbs that are digested

I dont think I understand.. Fiber has no calories so after you subtract the fiber, the carbs are only 5.. if carbs are 4 calories per gram, that would be 20 calories. 9 calories per gram of fat is is 14 calories for 1.5g of fat listed.. so that's 34 calories 4g of protein.. is 4 calories per gram so that's 16 That's 50…

Calories are the only thing that matters for weight loss. If something has 0 calories, it has no effect on progress.

The nutritional info will state "prepared" if the calories on the packaging are after it's been cooked, but generally most things listed are the raw weight

1500 calories is the minimum amount of calories for a sedentary male. So, your deficit needs to reflect this. 1500 calories is what is used daily to pump your heart, lungs and other organs and muscles. Then you need to consider what you need calorie wise after that, you are a runner, and I dont know what your goal is..…
