  • my goal wait per BMI charts says I should be 131 or less. I remember when I was in my 20's, I thought 130 was FAT for me. Now I'd be content to be between 135 and 139. currently between 147 and 150. I really need to exercise very day but that's not my habit ...

  • I am the say way. I try to postpone eating as long as practical. I like to snack and once I start eating, I think about food! I also prefer to exercise on an empty stomach. My PT thinks it's foolish how little I eat before a session, but I feel better without food in my stomach. Prefer 2-to-4 hours of empty stomach before…

  • @arachnofobia7 I just now saw your reply of almost 1 year ago. I think you are asking me, what is the source of the recommendation to get 20% of calories from protein? that's just the 50/30/20 (carb/fat/protein) that MFP suggests as 'standard'. if you are asking me what protein sources I include in my diet, it's mostly…

  • 100 lbs lost -- BRAVO! I think you have a useful plan to overcome this period. at times, I find myself growing tired of constant attention to what I do (and do not) eat, logging the food and supplements and tracking everything. Then I recognize how helpful the process really is and I get back on track. Going to the gym…

  • the steps don't show in MFP. You'll get add'l calories from exercise. See exercise page. There's a group here on MFP for FitBit users. You might find more information in that group.

  • yield: 6 servings total time: 30 minutes I'd cut down the time by purchasing pre-shredded veggies. are pre-shredded veggies less nutritious? (i.e., does pre-shredding reduce the nutritional value?)

    in measuring without a scale Comment by fraserkr May 2016
  • what kind of situations are you thinking about? eating at a restaurant? at a party? I think the general idea is that we learn how much food is in a serving of our favorite foods and over time you can eyeball it. But I still measure or weigh foods when I am disciplined about tracking calories.

  • MFP only synced FitBit calories as of sometime between 10 and 11pm last night, although I've synced this morning and have updates for today. is this a known bug?
