Yum! Hadn't thought about mixing it in quinoa/rice.... that sounds great!

I have a polar heart rate monitor (HRM) with chest strap and in my one house zumba class, I usually come in between 500-600. If I don't wear it, I typically count it as 500 on MFP.

When you make the change in calories based on TDEE and BMR, do you notice a gain at first? I'm curious about trying this but really do not want to see a gain....

Bump for later... I'm in the same boat :)

Thanks for the tips! I was wondering how people zig zag or do the total energy expenditure but still track here. Hadn't occured to me to create an "exercise" entry for the calorie days that are above what MFP sets for you. Will keep this in mind if I plateau and want to try something new.

Curious to read more about this...

I have wondered about this too. Will have to look at these helpful links a little more closely as time allows!

I enjoy salmon, red snapper, halibut, or cod. I also wrap in a tin foil packet and bake on a rimmed cookie sheet. Usually season with mrs dash, or dill and pepper. Typically I thinly slice onion and lay that on top. Sometimes drizzle with a little teriyaki sauce or red chili sauce. Bake until it flakes apart with a fork…

I boil it but then add garlic, sauted veggies, mrs dash. Sometimes siracha or teriyaki sauce. Very versatile! Love it!

I LOVE Zumba! I go to classes that are held in the community I live in and it's so much fun! You probably won't "get it" the first time but after a while, you'll catch on to all of the steps. It's so much fun that I don't feel like I'm working out, which is amazing to me. I wore my HRM last week and discovered I'm burning…

Had this for dinner tonight... my favorite way to eat it: baked in 9x13 cut in half face down - sprayed with cooking spray, sprinkle with mrs. dash and diced garlic brown lean ground beef in pan with garlic and mrs. dash, plus woistshire (sp?) sauce when beef done, mix in jar of mushroom alfredo and heat serve on top of…

Yum!! That sounds SOOO good! I can't wait to try it!

I don't have any specific recipes to share but I would recommend google-ing "zucchini boats" or "stuffed zucchini" - look at images and then go to the sites of those that look good! We LOVE stuffed zucchini! Last night I cut them in half long ways and scooped out some of the center... grilled for a little bit face down…

I second the Zumba suggestion... especially if you can go to a class in your area. You can search them out on the zumba website. Amazing workout and so much fun...
