Um, not sure why you feel disdain with such a holier-than-thou complex, but I believe you're wrong by being upset at this person's career choice. I mean, you're upset that they are "contributing" to obesity? Seriously? Wow. First, education is powerful. Education, not fat shaming, is what will help curb obesity. Second,…

I heard the same, and I heard from others that science backs up the fact that it doesn't matter. It's the same "postworkpout meals/shakes" debate. They say there's a window after working out within which you must consume your postworkout. More and more science is proving this is wrong. Weekly is fine. There's no difference…

Yes, precisely. That's a big benefit PLUS your total calorie deficit or surplus is truly calculated on a weekly basis -- not daily. Look at the "average" bar at the end of your weekly summary in your MFP app. Awesome stuff.

There are two different types of turkey bacon. One is like the Butterball brand, which is made up of mechanically separated turkey. Yuck! It's pureed turkey meat glued together to look like bacon. What I eat are turkey bacon-style strips, which are whole turkey breast meat cut and cured like bacon. A bit more expensive but…

That's awesome! Are you still trying to lose weight or are you on maintenance right now? Or do you keep it at the same level for reference? For example, I have mine set to 1/2 pound a week, even though I've reached my goal and now more into reducing body fat percentage. It helps me to always be in a mild caloric deficit to…
