Just to update, it's been two days since I've posted this and I'm already back down to 118. I agree with @Katmary71 about the swinging being more back and forth at goal weight. When I started losing weight at 139 pounds, I saw a decrease on the scale every day; it wasn't until 121 pounds that I finally saw a day with no…

I did the calculations; the OP means they are eating 35g of carbs, 65g of protein, and 90g of fat which is 1210 calories. If you have truly seen zero losses on the scale in the past month, odds are you're eating more than 1210 calories. The three posters above me just about covered it with the advice.

I've been eating my Fitbit calories back for years and never gained weight. However, I have always used a food scale and weighed everything to the gram. If you don't do that and/or have "cheat" meals/days, it's better to start eating a percentage back and adjust after a few weeks when you compare your actual rate of loss…

I'm hoping someone accidentally thought it meant "Woo Hoo" but I have been given a "Woo" simply for having an opinion on food that someone didn't agree with. It can definitely be annoying. Anyway, regarding Bowmar, I tried their Hot Chocolate protein flavor and it was decent. I also bought the Hot Chocolate Protein Brownie…

I completely agree with this. I'm one of those people whose upper body is leaner than their lower body. Even when I weighed 105 pounds, my thighs and lower body held more fat than my upper body. If I didn't read all the stickied threads here and general advice from forum veterans, I may have kept losing weight in the hopes…

I hear you. So many things can affect our weight and it can be difficult to ignore. I use Trendweight and I still get frustrated from time to time. On July 13th, I weighed 114.8 pounds but this morning I weighed 121.1 pounds; a 6.3 pound "gain" in eight days. I know I didn't eat that many calories over maintenance but it's…

The only thing that seems to be true is that you're currently eating at maintenance. If you eat less than the calorie amount that you currently think you're eating right now, you will lose weight. The alternative is to invest ~$15 in a food scale so you can actually see how many calories you're eating right now.

So I just found them at my local grocery store and I bought every flavor except for the honey almond butter. I just had the chocolate hazelnut one and I'm disappointed. It didn't taste bad by any means but it's just the chocolate hazelnut yogurt from their Chocolate Haze Craze flip. There's definitely hazelnut flavor in it…

I have never heard of chocolate milk in particular being good pre-workout. However, I've actually heard that it's a go-to for many post-workout because of its ideal 3:1 carb protein ratio for muscle building and the replenishing of glycogen stores. Pre-workout really depends on the type of exercise you're doing and your…

Agreed. I wish that instead of these articles placing the blame on everything else at least one of them would emphasize the fact that even if a tracker says one can eat a certain amount of calories that it depends on the person to try to be as accurate as possible since it's easy to underestimate their calorie intake.…

I'm super excited about this! One of my favorite things is mixing some PB2 into plain Fage Greek yogurt so this is right up my alley. As a sidenote, I had posted that I ordered these a few weeks ago: I do NOT recommend these. Bad texture which only got slightly better when microwaving and a funny aftertaste. I went to go…

I'm starting to suspect that this is model-dependent. I'm reading a lot of threads about Fitbit issues but I haven't had any. I have the new Inspire HR and the recent update for it so I'm wondering if those are relevant factors. Sometimes it may take a couple of minutes for MFP to update after I sync but that's about it.

This is happening to me right now with the Raw Rev Dark Chocolate Espresso Crunch bars. I have one every morning for breakfast with a cup of coffee and I found out recently that they're discontinuing it. I just bought ten boxes on Amazon and I'm buying up stock everywhere I can find it.

What about Baby Booster? It's a prenatal protein shake.

I LOVE Snacklins. I get several bags of all three flavors every time I go to Whole Foods. They're my go to when I want something crunchy but low calorie. You really can't beat 80 calories per bag. Miso Ginger is my favorite but the Barbecue and Chesapeake Bay ones are just as good. They don't skimp on the spice level for…

I like to mix a bit of it into plain greek yogurt and top that with blueberries. I also like to put it into smoothies with vanilla protein powder and fruit/vegetables. I know some people bake with it but I've never tried it.

I just had the fajita one last night. It made my entire apartment smell amazing. I thought it tasted pretty good but I'm not sure if I'd buy it again. I also bought the orange beefless one.

Okay, we have different versions. Did you try the plus sign in the top right corner? Mine looks like this:

This except before you go adding more calorie dense foods you should be looking at a few different things: * Are you losing more weight than expected? If so, add in more calorie dense foods. If it's right on target, you can stay as you are. If it's slower than expected, chances are you're eating more than you think and,…

Did you set up an eating plan on Fitbit? If not, do so and it should show up! Select your tile that says 1084 calories eaten and you should be taken to a screen with a bar graph of your calories in vs out. On that screen, tap the top right corner (three vertical dots) and there should be a selection "Edit Food Plan". Tap…

Because of the activity level you set yourself to on MFP. For example, if you chose that you are "Active" on MFP but the amount of activity on your Fitbit is less than what MFP sees as Active it will adjust your calories by subtracting some to make sure you don't overeat. Similarly, it will add extra calories if you exceed…

Thanks all. There was a thread on MFP about Stephanie Buttermore that I posted in and I got woo'd several times for simply stating that I went through some similar issues (https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10751039/cheat-day-or-bulimia-argument-buttermore#latest). In my comment, I wrote that I noticed that…

I figured I'd update this post as it's been a month, things have changed, and my experience may help others with similar issues. I had a doctor's appointment on 6/27 and got my blood test results back yesterday. I made sure I avoided taking any vitamins for over a week prior to my visit so that I could see if I had any…

Do you not use the Fitbit app or Dashboard on the website? It projects how many calories you can eat without having to wait until the next day. Also, if you have your Fitbit linked to MFP, it will do the same thing.

I bought this on Amazon and finally got around to trying it today. It comes with the baking cups, to go lids, peanut butter, chopped peanuts mixed with cacao nibs, and chocolate chips so you can put toppings on it. It only requires water and you can make it in the microwave (I did this) or oven (will try this way in the…

I wouldn't say it's the strongest but it varies. When I was eating my mocha bar today I got hit with a strong pleasant coffee taste on one of my bites but it was pretty subtle for the rest of the bar. However, I like really strong coffee flavor and only drink black dark roast coffee so for others the coffee taste may be…

I was looking for a specific type of animal cookie on Amazon which led me down a protein cookie rabbit hole as I like to search and see what new products are out sometimes. I saw these and saw they weren't available for Prime shipping. However, I went directly to their website and when I put in my email I was able to spin…

I agree, I just wish they were a little more consistent in their measurements. My Mocha Built Bar I ate just now was 73 grams, not 55. That brings the calorie count to around 146 instead of 110 which isn't the worst but if you eat several in a day it can add up. I find that most of the time the bars are closer to being…

I definitely have to try this. I absolutely love coffee and coffee flavored things especially protein items.

Yeah, these are the only places they are being tested right now: Colorado Springs, Colorado; Hartford, Connecticut; Longview and Tyler, Texas; Salt Lake City, Utah; Toledo, Ohio; and West Palm Beach, Florida I wish they chose NYC for the Northeast testing area but Connecticut it is. I don't even really eat Halo Top anymore…
