Yes I'm still going with it. I haven't got the time to log everything and it is difficult to accurately measure my lunch as I am back at work now and get my lunch provided every day. I'm using what I learnt during the time I recorded to try and make subtle changes. I initially lost 6lbs of my 10lb target but have plateaued…

The app was brilliant but confirmed a lot of what I kind of knew before. It also reassured me about a few things I want sure about. I was thinking that I was perhaps eating too much and then was still hungry. I've found that I wasn't actually eating too much, the portion sizes were about right for an evening meal and a…

I'm guessing from the many dislikes of your post, that your post is actually more "disordered" than my eating 🤣 And no, I haven't considered nor will I be considering therapy for my relationship with food 🤣. If you read the thread you will see that I enjoy running, how can doing something you enjoy be a punishment? It just…

If you are talking about nematodes, which are harmless when cooked or frozen, then they are present in haddock as well.

To be honest on a day to day basis, the calorie goal is easily achievable and I tend to be a little under since starting watching it. I do think I'm eating less between meals since watching though which is probably what is making a difference combined with making tweaks to what I was reading which is hopefully leaving me…

Well that certainly wouldn't be you. I'm not going to let you make me feel bad for having fish and chips and a doughnut with my family.

It depends completely on the intensity of your workout. I'm by no means the fastest runner, however the average speed of runners for my age (for a 5km) is around 11 minutes per mile. I'm running at less than 8 mins per mile on a 7km run. So it is more intense than an average run. I would call it high intensity exercise.…

I do normally do planned exercise, when in my normal routine with 3 nights of either running or cycling (usually 2 x run & 1x cycle). However I've been in holiday for the last few weeks so things have gone off a little. I enjoy running so don't see it as a punishment. I'm sure as you say that one day won't make a huge…

I'm still finding protein the hardest thing to fill in my diet. I'm also learning that with regular meals I'm normally under my calorie goal for the day which is probably why I'm always hungry - which used to result in eating some extra carbs or junk to fill that hunger. I'm still working on changes to get me to fill the…

I did start to now, my 10g estimate turned out to be an average of about 7g, so not miles off.

Apologies, having rechecked it was carrots that took the vitamin A over. Kiwi took the vitamin C slightly over.

Thank you for the comprehensive reply. The scales are Anker Eufy P1 smart scales. They are relatively simple in themselves but they communicate via Bluetooth to an app on your mobile phone. That app is internet enabled but doesn't link to MFP. The scales/app do not know what I have eaten. It seems to be able to take a lot…

Thank you, I'm not a big butter eater and might be overestimating slightly as I haven't weighed the butter that I use. I only eat butter on toast, bagels, jacket potato, and crackers. I don't have it on sandwiches or on toast if it has something else on. I do like bread and bread based things but currently my nutrition…

My goal is to reduce weight, initially when I started I was 206lbs - so I put in to lose 10lbs to get down to 196lbs (14stone) - I think ideally though depending on how that goes, I'll be looking at setting a new goal to get down to 13 stone, however I'd like to maintain or gain muscle. My main two activities are running…

I agree with working on distance. I've never ran a marathon and never really fancied it as a half marathon leaves me wrecked! But I would be working on just managing to do long distance, not worrying about speed or time, just miles. Don't forget time for recovery though. I also found that squats helped to improve the…

I think I've made my diary public now, feel free to have a look. I'm only on day 4 so far though. 69g was after lunch. I made it there by the end of the day by eating chicken.

The scales say I have low lean body mass, high body fat mass, high muscle mass, low protein. I weigh approx 200lbs Lean body mass: 154.9lbs (low) Body fat mass: 45.8lbs (high) Muscle mass: 143lbs (high) Bone mass: 7.7lbs (high) Visceral fat: 12.0 (high) Protein: 15.6% (low) Water: 51.5% (low) BMR: 1756kcal (low)

I'm 6'3" and currently 14 stone 4lbs. I set the goal to lose 1lb per week over 10 weeks. Protein interested me as my smart scales also tell me that I need more protein in my body. I don't know how accurate they are and how it can be so precise from just sending a current through my body, but the measurement is consistent…

Thanks, I'm always hungry and exercise tends to make me even more hungry! I've put all my stats in, I've eaten normal meals today but no extra snacks etc. I'm feeling hungry right now! The good news is that the meals I ate are within the calories given for the target. I did a fast paced 5km run this afternoon which boosted…
