Google agave nectar and read about the effects it has on the body. Totally converted to fructose by the liver ie 90% fructose vs table sugar that is 50% glucose and 50% fructose. Although it does not cause an insulin spike because low glycemic index it is not really a healthy option. I was excited when I found it. Tasted…

That does sound good with Brussels sprouts. Might have to try that and top it with vinaigrette reduction.

I am seeing exercise calories in the 800-1200 calorie range in your diary and you are barely eating 1200 calories. Bump your intake up a bit. You don't want to be canalizing your hard earned muscle and you need the extra calories for energy.

You absolutely have to eat at least 1200 calories. If you are actively working out every day you can and should go higher than that. When I work out I eat back about 1/3 of my exercise calories. I am hesitant to eat them all back because I am not sure that MFP does not over calculate the exercise calories. I have been on…

Hopefully she will get educated opinions. Forget about it.

You deserve an award. Great job. Keep working.

These noodles are made from glucomanan. This is a soluble fiber that makes you feel full. If taken in large amounts can cause cramping and diarrhea and can interfere with the absorption of some medications so you should take your meds an hour before you plan to ingest the glucomanan. If you google Miracle noodle it will…

Try to keep it as simple as possible. Go with what MFP tells you. Despite what you see on numerous posts you have to be a little careful eating back ALL your exercise calories because you may not always be sure that the calories burned in the data base are totally accurate for your age, current wt, gender and you may be…

It's something you can't always avoid. Only one day. Just move on and get back in the saddle. No point in kicking yourself. Won't change anything.

Do you put every thing in the blender and do you have nutritional info?

Meaning that aspirin affects the body's blood clotting and can cause serious bleeding in the stomach and other areas like the brain so not to be taken indiscriminately. Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.

If you are going to increase your calories I would opt for the lower number and see what happens. You can always increase later. I am a little leary about the accuracy of the exercise calories.

If you add some nuts or a piece of cheese with some fruit you will be able to up your calories or just eat more of what you are already eating.

TDEE is total daily energy expenditure. You can calculate it at the web sites above. Most posters agree that you should eat b/w you BMR and your TDEE i believe. The flaw I see in eating up to your TDEE is the accuracy of the amount of calories you burn with exercise. So, eating up to your TDEE may mean that you are eating…

Here is my frustration. Every BMR calculator I use gives me a different BMR. Hard to know which one is correct.

Like this. Great explanation.

I think part of the confusion for those of us that are not math inclined is that MFP does not list calories the same way that is discussed on the boards. If you go to your goal page it shows "Normal Daily Activity" calories burned which I assume to be the same as TDE and it does not show your BMR calories. When I use the…

Very good advice. Also may need to check your thyroid function if you have not recently.

Unscientifically, I agree with eating more. When I had my son 42 yrs ago I breastfed for 9 mo and at that time I was not watching my weight. I ate like a horse and lost 40 lbs over those 9 months so I think you can up your calories. Hard to make the decision to jump way up because you are not always sure that you are…

;D Yep. Me to. I would kill for your hair. Enjoy it. It's lovely and exotic at least in your picture.

Thank you for that info. I didn't know that was there. Good to know.

that just because you put your turn signal on it doesn't mean you can change lanes without looking and if I am walking and you are in a car at the corner you can proceed through the intersection way faster than you can wait for me to walk through it!

Green drainage is pus and you do have an infection. You need treatment. Beware flesh eating bacteria.

It is very good, tastes like hamburger only a bit drier. Lower in fat than hamburger and a healthy alternative. Go for it. Edit: I am talking about ground bison to make into a hamburger. That is the only way I have had it.
