  • So, just making sure I get this correct. Say my exercise amounts to 3 hours/week. Then I use the Light Exercise (1-3 hrs/wk) setting and get my TDEE. According to Lucia, I eat my TDEE because I want to maintain. Do I still have to record exercise in MFP? Or just record exercise that is OVER the 3 hrs/wk that I indicated…
  • Can you separate out the ingredients for the frosting? You say to combine all of the ingredients except for the 1/4 cup of grated carrots... but then you say something about cream cheese, syrup, cinnamon, and stevia for the frosting. Those definitely aren't listed haha.
  • Bump for later * I'm 5'2" and 120-ish pounds. I haven't weighed myself in 2 weeks. TDEE: 1800 TDEE-15%: 1530 BMR: 1365 I set my lifestyle to Sedentary because I have a desk job, and I log all other exercise that I do (which hasn't been much lately, but I'm working on that). I set my MFP calorie goal to 1530 and I just make…
  • I tried to mix on the highest setting, but even with <1 cup of ingredients in there, everything was splashing out. So I turned it down to 5/6 (out of 10). I've got to get some fresh fruit to freeze (or buy some frozen fruit) and try again. Would a banana work? (I'm thinking chocolate-covered-banana flavor -- yummm!)
  • I guess I'm missing something... How is my stand mixer going to mix it up if it's frozen? Wouldn't that require a blender? Today I tried 1 scoop of ON double rich chocolate, 1/2 cup skim milk, and 1 cup of ice cubes (pre-crushed). I mixed with my KitchenAid mixer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the ice had turned into…
  • So... I tried this and it was a complete failure. Can anyone give me some suggestions? Here's what I used: 2 egg whites, room temperature a pinch of salt in the beginning a pinch of cream of tarter a drop or two of lemon juice I beat that stuff in the order listed. It fluffed up a bit, which was nice. Then I folded in 1…
  • Do you mean like "Egg Beaters" or similar items? I usually just buy whole eggs... are they pasteurized? (sorry if that sounds dumb haha)
  • ^^Agreed! The Vanilla Ice Cream isn't bad... it lends itself better to blending with other fruits to make a "power smoothie". The Double Rich Chocolate is amazinggg! I mix a FULL ROUNDED SCOOP (24g protein, I think) with 6-8oz of skim milk. It's so much better with milk than water! Just don't get cookies&cream. It doesn't…
  • Height: 5'3" Current Weight: around 120 Problem Area(s): lower belly fat, "thunder thighs" Goal Weight: 100-105 All throughout high school and most of college I weighed right around 100, then I started working in the "real world" (i.e. a desk job with a 2-hr commute each way to work) and I'm definitely not as active as I…
  • :bigsmile: As a recent college grad, I support this bill -- sort of. I don't want my loans forgiven; I know that they're my responsibility. But I do think that there should be limits as to how high the interest rate can be. Some of my loans from the last 2 years of college have interest rates between 10% and 12% -- BIG…
  • I can totally relate. I'm 5'3" and 120 lbs. Before this year I've never weighed more than 100, so this is new to me and I'm trying to get/stay motivated. I'm recovering from foot surgery, so I can't do much in terms of exercise just yet but I figured tracking my food intake was a good place to start!
