Net calories is the number of calories you are supposed to eat minus your exercise calories. So for today: 1290-449= 841. So if you are to eat 1400 calories, you have 559 calories left to eat today.

I got the omega 8004 last month from Bed Bath and Beyond. If you sign up for their e-newsletter, you get a coupon for 20% off, so the $260 juicer will cost you $208 plus tax. It's a lovely masticating juicer and I use it once or twice a day everyday since I got it. Well worth the money. Also makes the most delicious all…

I think you will have to get a scale....there's no way to accurately figure this out without one. The weight of individual food items will vary depending on how thick you slice things etc, so one person's food weight measurements might not be the same for you. You can get a simple gram scale on Ebay for under $8 including…

It looks like you are netting way less than 1000 calories a day, which probably isn't enough food for your body. How long did you give the eat back your exercise calories approach? I used to not eat enough, and when I joined this site and read all the posts about eating enough and why you should eat back exercise calories,…

Almonds: healthy fats and protein. About 170 calories per 1/4 cup for the dry roasted unsalted kind, shouldn't be too hard to eat 1/4 to 1/2 cup to bring up your calorie count.

make a yummy green juice.

Most days you are netting under 1000 calories a day, which I don't think is enough. I made the mistake of doing this before I joined MFP, and learned alot from reading the forums. Most useful topics for me were reading the "eat more to weigh less" group postings and such. MFP already has your calorie deficit built in for…

My omega 2004 masticating juicer. Now I get more than enough vegetable intake!

ice cubes :0)

You can change your targets manually by going to: My Home/Goals/Change Goals/ select custom then continue. Once you fix everything you click "change goals" to save.

Almonds, I like the dry roasted unsalted kind. 1/4 cup is 170 calories with a good amount of healthy fat :O)

I got a juicer last week (omega 8004) and it has an attachment that does this very thing. The sorbets that come out are so delicious!

You should eat all of them back, as MFP has already created the caloric deficit for you when you entered your preferences (-.5 to -2 pounds/week). If you don't eat them back, you are creating an even larger deficit and then you are probably going to be under eating. Took me a while to understand this, and as I've adjusted…

1. Red Cargo Rice 2. Firm Tofu 3. Dried Sliced Wakame 4. Carrots 5. Granny Smith Apples

Ah I just broke down and went to Chipotle today! But your bowl looks much tastier (and healthier).

I just got a juicer on Saturday, yay! So far my favorite is: 1 pound carrots, 1 medium granny smith apple, and ginger to taste. I like a little spicy so I use about an inch of it. Makes about 16 ounces and is under 300 calories. Still working on finding a good green juice recipe. My first try on Sunday was, um, unpalatable…

Maybe you are not eating enough? Some days you net below 1000 calories, so maybe your body isn't getting enough food? I used to net around 1000 a day and things stalled until I stumbled upon the eat more weigh less group on this site. I went to this site: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ and calculated my BMR…

Thai green papaya salad: http://www.shesimmers.com/2010/06/som-tam-tutorial-how-to-make-thai-green.html

roasted duck. and cake.

Dried shredded wakame (seaweed). Super nutritious and you dont' need that much as it expands when soaking. Toss the soak water out to get rid of excess salt and impurities and you can add to salads, soups, etc.
