Rebel Sports has the Surge on Sale for $179? I bought my Alta HR on Amazon and used the Aus Post US address thing. Even with the exchange rate I still paid less than the $279 they want here.

I bought the premium version so I could get my macros to grams instead of %. I found the % adjustments were giving me too many carbs. My TDEE is calculated from Fitbit Daily calories to consume are from IIFYM or Scooby Calculator I start with .6-.8g of protein per lb of body weight. I aim for 50-60 g of carbs as a MAXIMUM…

Ribs. Why are ribs so much higher in calories than regular pork?
-
I try to spread it out over three meals and one or two protein snacks. For me that's between 20-25g per meal and 5-10 per snack (hard boiled egg only has 6g protein (ish)

I keep LCHF. There are days I have to force myself to eat enough calories. One of the main reasons I log food to MFP is to make sure I eat enough. Instead of fat bombs (not fond of the texture) I will add a tablespoon of Olive oil to my salad (I typically ony use a sprinkle of vinegar or lemon juice)

It's not so much logging an exercise, but it likes to log my pilates session as sleep time.

If you use the DriveBit app, it automatically creates the activity for you

I am well over 40, had to stop taking BC becat 36 because I smoked. Doctor gave me a Mirena. I'm on my second one (they last for 5 years) and I haven't had a period in 10 years. If you are looking at BCPs for cramps, I'd ask your doctor about the Mirena and just remove the monthly period from the equation all together** **…

I wore my One every day and night for 1 year. Upgraded to the Charge HR, wore that every day and night for 3 years. It's still perfect. Not even a scratch onthe screen. I only upgraded to the Alta HR so I had the option to change bands.

Download the DriveBit app and when you are in the car, start the clock (can chose what kind of vehicle, driver, passenger etc) and that turns any "steps" taken during that time into an "activity and removes it from your step count. I drive a manual, up and down a mountain 2x a day. It would NEVER be accurate without the…

There is the Scooby Calculator that is fairly decent for TDEE and macros. http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/#projectedweightloss For protein, it's typically .6-.8g per lb of body weight. Start there and then adjust the rest of the macros.
-
You say you are eating low carb but I see a lot of higher carb foods in todays entry alone. Where did your macros come from? for low carb your fat should be a lot higher than 50 g.
-
set your carb goals at 130/140 for a few weeks. You will gain a bit because of water, but that should even out. If you are still losing, up the carbs a little bit more for a few weeks. The goal is to find the level where you maintain.

Canadian - It was from the computer. I do have premium, but I only ever used the pink bars to prove to my husband how many times he woke me up. The exact times never really mattered.
-
This is what I'm still seeing 1) click on the arrow to the right 2) sleep data (I don't think I ever saw a % number)
-
On the new graph, if you click the arrow on the far right of the line of info, it takes you to the detailed sleep information. So it's all still there, just in a different format
-
I like being able to set calories by day too. So I know that on work out days I get XX amount of calories v. sitting in the office days
-
I used one of the various calorie calculators on the internet. I think it was on the IIFYM site. But it came up relatively close on most of them. I entered all my info as usual, but instead of my current weight and "lose weight" as a goal I entered my goal weight and "maintenance" as a goal
-
I chose to lose my weight by eating at the maintenance calories for my goal weight. That way when I get there I won;'t have to change a thing. Now, if I had a large amount of weight to lose, or if I was incredibly active this would probably be a bad method.
-
I try to keep my protein between .6g/lb of gross body weight or .8g/lb of lean body mass. I aim for 45-50g of carbs net per day the rest I fill in with fat. I can't use the % method because if I am eating my exercise calories everything can get too high.
-
May I ask what country you're from?
-
You could be eating less, you could be eating more. I was just pointing out how incredibly inaccurate the food labels can be.
-
Absolutely. Just as an easy example, my can of tuna is supposed to give me 65g of drained product. Routinely I get anywhere between 53g & 62g. If I happen to pick up the cans on sale, they are down into the 45-50g range.
-
I try to keep low-carb and I calculate my protein at .6g per Gross Body weight or, if I know my LBM, .8g per lb of LBM. Then I set my carb % and fill in the rest with fat.
-
My curve is just <> short of being scoliosis, but for exercises I treat it as if it is. Mine is in my lower back (right before the hips) and I found that Yoga and Pilates strengthen my core enough that the stress is eased off my curve.

I have moved across the world for a relationship (now married) but some things to think about this quote 1) Apply to the university to see if you are accepted BEFORE you move. He can't get you accepted. And if he moes to make your dream come true and you for some reason don't get in? Everything from that day forward will…

Water, cofee, tea. The occasional drink (as in maybe one a month), but even them I mix the rum with something other than soda. anything carbonated messes up my stomach. Even having one, I bloat to a "5 month pregnant" stage and get "gassy" same thing happens with beer.
-
I found doing LCHF, I just naturally ate/eat less calories because the food keeps me fully and satiated. I do try to not go over the maintenance calories for my goal weight. ETA: One of the main reasons I track is to make sure I eat ENOUGH. I can find myself dropping below 1000 calories a day.
