Ever try chewing gum when you are preparing meal, or after meal to get that taste out of your mouth. Brushing teeth helps me also!

How I've done mine is somewhat confusing but here goes... My daily calorie goal is set to BMR 1450 I exercise and add 350 calories for whatever exercise I do, no matter the exercise or duration...which brings my total to 1800 On days I don't exercise I don't add the 350 calories into my daily total, those days I eat to…

Dutch oven would work perfectly...looks like I'm making chili tonight!!! Slow cookers are helpful if you want to leave the pot unattended all day and come home from work and have dinner ready.

get more protein, very carb heavy diet. MFP allows you to customize and adjust your macro percentage setting however you choose. some people do 40-30-30.

This^^ I can polish off a half gallon within 2 days.
-
yes because it 100+ degrees here in Dallas. I get more outdoor activities/exercise in the fall and winter.

Similar story to mine except the doctor was telling me to eat 1200calories as well. Hair falling out and no energy. I wasn't able to sustain that low of a calorie intake and when I increased it my weight has increased as well. Looking back at photos though my face was gaunt and I did not look like I was in good health.…

Scrambled Egg and two slices of bacon is my go to breakfast. I may slice some avocado to top my eggs.

This with more Icing, you know what just give me that Icing and I will eat it by the spoonful!

Any one is welcome to add me. I am a daily logger...good...bad..and ugly. Some days I may have candy and icecream on my diary. But I'm super supportive and active on here.
-
Took a look at the diary and I see nothing wrong with what and how much you are eating. Maybe throw in a half avocado with those salads and might get you up to your 1200 calories. Looks awesome to me.

me too. I will only eat Blue Bell. [/quote] This^^^

From someone that is not a 'clean' eater I don't see how a hard core 'clean' eater cannot come across something that isn't clean. I however am eating 'cleaner' trying to stop snacking on chips, candy, bread, and do a better job of eating protien. So it's chicken breasts for me this week. However, I am having something…

I can get by with a piece of fruit for breakfast. But if you like something heartier oatmeal is a great option. I also have made muffin sized breakfast quiches. Takes a lot of pre-planning to do them all, but so convenient when on the run because they microwave in less than a minute and voila! Bacon Spinach Hashbrown…

This^^ for sure! Just killed a half gallon on Tuesday bought on Sunday!

I would suggest ditch the circuit machines and, with help of course, lift actual weights...with cardio
-
1800 calories here and that's with exercise factored in...trying to get down to 150 pounds from the 190's. It's slow going but I'm determined to change my lifestyle permanently
-
No but my calorie intake already factors in my activity level and exercise calories aren't extra, even though MFP adds them back. What I do, so that I don't see them is...when I put in exercise I put 1 calorie burned. Then at the end of the day, when I am absolutely done putting food into my mouth, I put in the actual…

Love that! My own mother didn't recognize me when I walked up to the car while she was waiting for me to come out of the convenience store. I told her, " If you weren't expecting me to be there then I would understand but I was with you...you knew that I was in the store...and you knew what I was wearing" Awesome NSV…

Eating enough food to maintain and run the engine of your body is a good analogy to use. Junk in the engine will cause it to break, clog, and not run effeciently (fat). 500 calorie deficit a day is all you need to lose 1 pound a week. Once you weigh less you need to adjust the numbers down for your new slim body that only…

IF ONLY there was just one! Food!

Squatting 110 pounds plus the bar. I needed that!

I've done something quite different with the TDEE numbers. I've calculated the TDEE for the weight I want to be, i.e. 'ultimate goal' and my daily calorie goal is set to that. I don't worry about eating back exercise calories unless its an exceptionally large 'burn' and I'm exceptionally ravenous. Trying to eat when I'm…

In my office (manufacturing/office) it's split. Definitely not look down upon because two office fridges are bursting at the seams with sack lunches, and the microwaves are on a waiting list between 11:00 and 12:00. But we also have a cafeteria on site that offers hot meals so the prevalent attitude at my job is people…

I just used Scooby's workshop to calculate the TDEE and BMR for my GOAL weight 150 pounds. TDEE is around 1700 calories, BMR is around 1400. So I've set my goal calories for each day at the TDEE of the weight I want to be, won't eat back any exercise calories, and try to be over 1400 but under 1700. The way I worked it out…

If I am out to eat, I convince one of my table mates (usually another woman) to share a meal with me. If that's not possible then I pack away half before I start eating. At home it's quite difficult because I overeat in private. When I make dinner at home, I pack my leftovers away for lunch tomorrow at the same time I'm…

Pit-Bull owner also, everyone is happier when Taffy gets her walk. I also bought a garage sale bike so she could run along side. Best $7 I ever spent. She is my very determined motivator to get my walking shoes on...and once I'm out there we just go until she's tuckered out, about an hour.
