I found for me, MFP was totally off on the # of calories I needed to maintain, and by a lot. I am 5'5", 111 lbs, and sedentary. MFP told me I needed a net 1480 calories/day to maintain that. BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAA. That real number is 2000+, and would drop weight like a rock on their recommendation. In contrast, I have a…

Do you cook the oatmeal first or just put it into the blender uncooked?

Me!

I do the same thing with snacks - I look for things that are high calorie but easy to eat, and hopefully not all junk. I keep a supply of energy/protein bars in my desk at work, bananas, yogurt with added fruit and granola (full fat is my preference but I'm usually stuck with low fat unless I bring some from home - full…

That's great to know! I didn't know Ensure was okay for lactose intolerance. It's so creamy I assumed there was milk in it. I used to use it many years ago (like 15-20) as a supplement or when I was so stressed or anxious (I had an untreated anxiety disorder) I could barely eat. It kept my weight stable. Definitely going…

I hear you! I have always been skinny. I am barely 5'5" and my weight tends to hover around 110 lbs, maybe 115 over the summer when I tend to gain weight. I weigh the same now as I did 20+ years ago in high school. I still fit into shorts I still have from back then. People ask me how I stay so thin and I just say…
