Love tracking macros. Would suggest 1g protein per pound of goal weight so 185g. This will help keep you full and maintain most muscle mass during your caloric deficit (only way to lose fat). Would suggest 30% intake coming from fat and the men the rest of your calories from carbs. Key is to find your TDEE and reduce by…

I've got one and like it for the most part. After a week or two I got used to it on my arm and actually forget it is there. It was VERY interesting for the first month or so seeing how many calories I used up in a 24 hour period of time. The online thing is only useful for me to see the bar graph of my caloric burn. This…

I too love Steel Cut Oats. I'm glad you mentioned they were $.99/lb at Sprouts. I live in Plano and have been paying way more than that for the Quaker brand at Wally World.

Really like my BodyBugg. I have the version that syncs to your phone. I've found that I dont actually need to wear it everyday. The calories I burn are pretty consistent day in and day out. I wore it religiously for the first month or so, but now only 4-5 times a week. I really only wear it on workout days so I can track…

I dont have an HRM...but do have a Body Bugg. It tells me that I am burnign more than MFP does.......but I still use MFP so that I am hedging. Mine is not as off as yours though. Hopefully someone chimes in that knows that particular HRM. Does it get good reviews?

Bump!

Quick question. I'm confused about the garlic. If you roast it whole....do you not eat it with the squash? Does the flavor come through to the squash? Sorry....new to cooking with fresh garlic and trying to learn.

Bump....been looking for something like this.

If the Body Bugg is accurate....lets say it is only 90% accurate and i am actually burning 3600 calories per day....that still puts me at a deficit of 1600 calories per day on average or a 11,200 deficit per week, which I can not believe is healthy. Again, I typically do not feel hungry at all, I dont have…

Being overweight my entire adult life, it is hard for me to acknowldege I need to eat more to loose weight. I am not hungry after 2000 calories per day and feel I can continue with that goal. However, I LOVE to eat and would easily incorporate another 800 healthy calories per day if it is what I should do for my metabolism.

Thanks for all the replies. I also have a sedentary job. I sit in a cubicle for about 9 hours a day. Since I began this journey, I find myself much more active at work though. I'll stand to type, I walk to the farthest bathroom, I'll walk at lunch weather permitting, walk to the break room 8-10 times a day to fill my small…

Bump....need to try the chickpeas!!

Awesome, thanks for posting.

I've got a BodyBugg and have only had it for 5 days, but it is telling me that I am burning more than what MFP tells me. I'm still using the MFP number and banking the extra burned calories. I was afraid MFP would be overestimating, but for me it is not. In 5 days it is approximately 20% lower than what the BB is…

^^^This^^^ Try On the Border also.

Trying tonight.

So odd I have to give it a shot.

Breakfast in the morning! Thanks.

BUMP!!

Bump

Gonna give it a go this weekend.

Made these for dinner tonight. Definately a keeper. I added a few thin slices of yellow squach in the layers and it added a nice touch. I was amazed at how the wontons kept it all together. We didn't even need forks, just ate like a sandwich. Definately recommended.

Bump

Gonna try it this weekend.....TAGGED.

Thanks again everyone. I've learned a lot in just 2 days by tracking every calorie. It adds up quick.

Wow, thanks for the welcome everyone. I was born in Amarillo, TX but we moved around a lot when I was younger. I did graduate from Texas A&M in 2002 and have been in Dallas ever since working for the same company. When I graduated college I was at 220. Right out of college my job had me travelling 2-3 weeks a month. I did…
