My guess is the crust is different. Higher fat, thicker crust is going to be more calories. I can't find a "rising" crust in my calorie range. Rising crusts are popular in the U.S. But, I always look for thin crust instead. Another option, buy cheese only and add your own pepperoni. If you get turkey pepperoni (or chicken…

The activity level you chose gave you credit (and calories) for steps. To log deliberate exercise (for calorie estimate) log it under cardio. Activity levels based on steps can be classified as follows: Sedentary: Less than 5,000 steps daily Low active: About 5,000 to 7,499 steps daily Somewhat active: About 7,500 to 9,999…

Protein, fat and fiber are all filling. The exact combination that is filling for you is something that you may need to experiment with. That said, I try to get all 3 (protein, fat and fiber) with each meal. What is your protein goal? Different numbers get thrown around.…

I do drink 1 cup of sweetened tea with 1% milk (chai) in the morning. I log those calories. The rest of the day I drink unsweetened iced tea all day long. This gets logged as water. You don't have to give up tea, just make sure you log the calories that go with it.

Oatmeal Packet Mug Muffin In a large mug beat 1 egg 1/4 C. mashed banana, applesauce or pumpkin puree Stir in 1 packet instant oatmeal (flavor of choice) 1/2 teaspoon baking powder Microwave 2:00 - 2:15. Turn muffin out and inspect the bottom. If bottom looks too moist (raw egg) cook 10 seconds more. Turn out again and…

If you really want to run, you might look into rebounding. A good quality rebounder will allow you to run in place. Google youtube achampion rebounding for some ideas.

One meal or 6 meals, calories still apply. If you are eating at maintenance calories your weight will stay the same. What is your daily calorie goal and are you at or under that?

My guess is you're trying to eliminate too many "bad" or demonized foods, thus leaving only "diet" foods. Breakfast for me is easily 300 calories, and this is a small number for most people. 2 eggs 2 slices whole wheat toast and 2 teaspoons of butter.........348 calories Lunch Sugar Snap - Peas, 1 cup Homemade - Dill Dip,…

High volume (low calorie) eat all days foods are going to be veggies. Celery, cucumber, leafy greens, zucchini, mushrooms, peppers and tomatoes. Another high volume food - pretty low in calories is popcorn. I have a microwave popper and use 1 teaspoon of buttery coconut oil. That helps fine grain popcorn salt stick (check…

I track fiber too; peas broccoli, Brussels sprouts, potatoes in the veggie category. As long as you're eating a variety of whole foods; grains, beans, fruits & veggies your numbers should look good. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948

Click on MyFitnessPal in the top left corner (Home), then choose Goals below. Then under Your Fitness Goals click on View Guided Set Up.

More information needed...... Is there a medical reason for low fat? Are fat calories making you go over daily calorie goals? Are you (at least) meeting protein goals daily? You can adjust macro goals. Calories for weight loss. Macros for satiety and health goals. Low fat proteins - skinless poultry, seafood, lean cuts of…

Fast weight loss is not generally healthy weight loss. If you need to drop weight quickly for medical reasons, please consult your doctor for help. Your doctor can steer you to a prescribed program (dietician) to help you meet nutritional needs on low calories, while monitoring your health. In the Discussions menu there is…

Too few calories from an aggressive weekly weight loss goal can drive hunger. Meal timing can also drive hunger. Protein, fat and fiber are satiating components. Eating at a calorie deficit can require some experimentation in the beginning. I would start with the protein component (since you don't eat meat). Are you…

Welcome K! My Fitness Pal is a little different than other apps. This site uses NEAT. BMR would be too low for you. BMR is Basal Metabolic Rate. This is the calories you burn at rest every day. BMR supports bodily functions (heart, lungs). These are more like sleeping all day calories. NEAT is Non-Exercise Activity…

I vote no on the single use 16.9 oz water bottles too. Look into Brita filter water pitchers. I like water colder than the tap also.

Have you tried walking workouts on Youtube Mini-To-Mighty is a 30 day program that takes you from 1 minute to 30 minutes. Maybe it takes you longer that 30 days, but it could be a good place to start. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hlndM5T2kk There are many other "walks" starting at 5 minutes. Many different "walk…

Not an expert in this but, Fitbits can be synced to MFP. What syncing does is compare your stated activity level against your actual activity and credits/debits you for the difference. Do you remove your Fitbit when you exercise? I don't have anything synced to MFP, but logging cardio workouts gives me calories, logging…

To lose weight its calories in vs. calories out......always. No one gets to eat calories above maintenance and lose fat. You may be able to manipulate water weight briefly, but that's not the same thing as fat loss. Protein, fat and fiber are filling components. Choose more of these things to stay full longer on fewer…

Use the bathroom stall for some standing push-ups. Add some squats while you're there too. Retired now, but I would pop in a "walking" DVD at lunch. I could close my office door. External DVD drives are cheap now. I.T. wouldn't appreciate streaming Youtube videos. If you can, go for a walk outdoors. Is there a big box…

Oatmeal Mug Muffin 1 packet instant oatmeal (I use low sugar) 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 egg 1/4 cup applesauce, mashed banana, or pumpkin puree Mix in a microwavable mug and cook on high about 2 minutes. Allow to cool.

Looks good. I want to try this. Another one - Diced celery, match stick carrots and thawed green peas. Dress with Paul Newman's Sesame Ginger dressing. Yum! 2 TBL of this dressing is 35 calories.

Re: logging steps. There are a couple options. 1. Your steps can be part of your activity level - Activity levels based on steps can be classified as follows123: Sedentary: Less than 5,000 steps daily Low active: About 5,000 to 7,499 steps daily Somewhat active: About 7,500 to 9,999 steps daily Active: More than 10,000…

When I want the meat for salads, tacos or burritos I use a crockpot. Throw some skinless, boneless chicken meat in the crockpot. Add a packet of taco (or fajita) seasoning and a cup of salsa. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Shred using 2 forks.

Small do-able goals at first. Get used to doing something most days, then increase the length and intensity. They call it exercise snacking now. I started with a goal of 60 minutes a week to do "something." There are tons of short workouts on youtube. Doing something at home makes it excuse proof for me. I will walk…

I've lost and re-gained a few times. Now I'm done with all that. If you're not "hacking" WW now, why will maintenance be different? Do you think you can do WW forever then? Also, Weight Watchers seems to re-invent themselves every few years to keep up with the latest weight loss trends (marketing). For me (this time) I…

Skinny Taste and Cooking Light are favorite sites of mine.

You might need to increase the number of hours you fast. Reduced eating windows can help some people reduce calorie intake pretty naturally, others not so much. I don't fast myself, but here are a bunch of posts...........…

Try frozen raspberries. These break up nicely when you stir them in. I add a half packet of Truvia sweetener also. Different yogurt brands might help. I think Fage is less tart than some others.
