Your BMR is 1387. MFP will set an intake of 500 calories less than you BMR for a weight loss of 1 pound per week (but never less than 1200). So your caloric intake should be 1200 a day minimum. When you exercise, you burn more calories. You can eat back part or all of those calories and still lose weight. Hope this helps

Another good way to keep your cholesterol in check is to add flax seed to your diet. You can sprinkle it on anything and it adds no flavor to the food.

I like dairy and have been consuming it all my life (48 yrs). I drink skim milk, eat yogurt and all kinds of cheese. I have never seen any correlation with weight loss or gain. However, I have noticed that if I don't have my milk, (3 glasses a day), I have less energy throughout the day. It probably has something to do…

I am having surgery on May 16th. I was directed to this site by the dietician that works with the surgical candidates at the hospital. Even if you have weight loss surgery, (be it lap band or bypass), it is a life style change. Give the site a go. I think it is great here. ..but if you decide on the surgery, it is not a…
