Tasty, tasty evil.

One of the best posts I've ever read on MFP :)

Actually, I find it easier to log my food on Mfp, sync my steps then check my "calories left" on FitBit (which are the calories you can still eat assuming if you won't do anything else all day) rather than trying to figure out how much of my adjustment on MFP will be lost at the end of the day since my activity is quite…

Oh, that's an interesting input. I noticed this thing since I've started using the app more often, but I'm not sure if the two things are related. I'm going to edit a few meals from the website and see what happens.

I have the same issue AND I also get duplicate meals, but sometimes the two things are unrelated (I get a awfully high calories-in count but when I check the meal summary dashboard the calorie count is fine). Veery annoying

I do eat processed foods, but I'd rather eat my grandmother's lasagna than a crappy frozen lasagna just because the latter has a label. This means I'm not 100% accurate with my logging, but I'm fine with it and I'm still losing weight. I usually look for something similar in the database and don't sweat it.

Heavy enough that you can't do more than 5 reps, IIRC. It doesn't matter if it's 4lbs or 90000lbs.

I like sarcasm but it has too much refined sugar.

Did you try this today? Sometimes my adjustments make no sense when I change my goal, then the next day everything's okay again. Another thing: If you went from lightly active to sedentary maybe MFP gave you a lower deficit because the same deficit would put you under 1200. Check your daily deficit in the Goals page.

I make egg muffins in silicone molds all the time and I don't even have to use oil or cooking spray. You can find them for a few bucks!

Smoke point <> boiling point. Sorry, you're eating maybe 95% of the oil and you have to log it.

Oh well, since she's trying to sell beachbody stuff I guess it's very healthy for her.

Agree. Inaccuracy can cause plateaus, but so will stress and lack of adherence. We need to find a balance between accuracy and sustainability. If you stop losing then start weighing your food. It doesn't have to be forever. If you pay attention to what you are doing instead of mindlessly throwing stuff on the scale you…

Hell no. That chart says I'm ATHLETIC so it's clearly awesome and everyone should rely on that. :laugh:

5'3, around 128lbs and averaging 1800 gross calories. I am quite active (student + desk job but I try to move around as much as possible), and I lift weights 3x week. I have occasional "whatever" days where I don't sweat it too much (lunch with relatives, birthday party, pizza night with friends). I tried the 1200 route…

The italian girl approves :laugh:

^ YUM. I was skeptical too. But I really really really wanted to try the pumpkin and I picked a random flavour which I hadn't tried yet (it's currently my favourite gelato place so I want to try all the things). They were good together, anyway :wink:

Hi. First post here... I feel home :flowerforyou: I wanted to share this oh-so-yum thing I had recently: Pumpkin gelato (flavoured with balsamic vinegar) and Sachertorte. It had real cake chunks in which really tasted like Sacher, not generic chocolate cake (which would have been yummy too).

All. of. this. :flowerforyou: Hugs for you and your baby. Get some support from a woman's shelter, you don't have to go through this alone. And when I say "going through this" I mean "getting rid of this abusive and destructive relationship that cannot possibly give you anything good short/mid/long-term". You can do this…

Excess calories = fat :wink: Which doesn't mean you should get ALL your calories from sugar. As long as you stay within your maintenance range and you get an adequate amount of macro and micronutrients (protein, fats, vitamins, minerals, fiber...) it's no big deal if you go over on carbs or sugar. You won't gain weight and…

I probably go over my sugar limit every day.

Cholesterol is cholesterol. HDL and LDL are made up by your body.

I'm currently doing Ice Cream Fitness which is basically SL 5x5 with accessory work. I always do the five big compound lifts first. Accessory work adds fun and variety but compound lifts are my foundation. :smile:

Most people get those extra calories because activity trackers will motivate them to move more (therefore increasing calories burned) and because IMHO most people tend to underestimate their daily activity level, so in most cases those calories are "genuine" (at least they are for me and most people on the Fitbit group…

Person 1 will notice a weight gain /slower weight loss and will adjust intake accordingly. No big deal.

I'm willing to be part of the clinical trial group. For science!

+1. Might worth a try. Cutting fats to get more volume for the same calories is pretty common, but fats tend to help a lot with satiety (and they're also kind of important for your body). If I get less than 50g of fats a day I tend to become a ravenous b****, some people are happier with tons of veggies and lean meats.

"I will unrack all the plates from ONE side of the bar, THEN I will take care of the other side of the bar. Seems like a rational idea."

^^^^ so much this. Also, it will make you feel like a badass and look awesome.
