The math works out on their calculations: Per 100g: 5.5g fat (5.5 x 9 = 49.5 kcal) 6.1g carb (6.1 x 4 = 24.4 kcal) 24g protein (24 x 4 = 96 kcal) 49.5+24.4+96 = 169.9 kcal (Pack reads 170kcal per 100g) Per 1/2 pack: 8.1g fat (8.1 x 9 = 72.9 kcal) 9.0g carb (9.0 x 4 = 36 kcal) 35.3g protein (35.3 x 4 =141.2 kcal)…

I like to make a big batch of steel cut oats at the beginning of the week and then reheat one-serving portions in the microwave as needed. I will not eat oatmeal and fruit alone, but instead pair it with a good source of protein.

In all likelihood, it amounts to an elaborate way to separate you from your money. It is unlikely to reveal something that you don't already know. That is, you should eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, good quality lean meats/fish and dairy (if you are omnivorous) and that is generally okay to…

Good for you for finding something that worked out for you in more than one way.

Take it one day at a time. Make small changes that you can sustain. Lather, rinse, repeat. There are many welcoming communities within MFP, and many folks experiencing the same struggles that you are. Keep reading the forums, seek help if you need it, and carry on the good fight.

You could stop paying for premium, unpair Google Fit from MFP, and then manually add the exercise calories you desire. (Of course, you could also continue paying for premium, unpair Google Fit from MFP, and then manually add the exercise calories you desire, as well.) (Sorry. This is coming from a person who has never paid…

Welcome back. I'm sorry that you are struggling with your health and a weight gain. You can certainly make progress in improving both your health and body composition. Start small and keep going. Good luck!

It is possible that much of your recent weight gain will be transient, if your recent eating has involved a lot more carbohydrates that you had been eating previously on your diet. More carbohydrates than usual will cause more water weight than usual. In any event, don't give up. Just start tracking again, get back to a…

Good luck with your quest!

Congratulations on your success so far. Good luck with the last 5 pounds.

It is quite possible to lose muscle mass, as well as fat, while losing body weight, especially for post-menopausal women who are possibly creating too aggressive a calorie deficit and are not engaging in resistance exercise, which helps to mitigate the loss of muscle mass. Aerobic exercise (cardio) is important for health,…

Welcome to the MFP community. Good luck with your weight loss journey.

It is normal for weight to fluctuate by as much as 3 to 4 pounds, or more, over the course of one or two weeks. You might want to focus on your average weight, or a weighted average weight, instead of the actual individual day-to-day or week-to-week weight changes. There are apps that can calculate a weighted average for…

Welcome to the MFP community. You have a positive outlook and that will help you to succeed, I believe. Good luck with your weight loss and your journey to improved health.

Knowing this about yourself, you could try one or more of the following things to combat the potential for overeating: 1) Slow yourself down, when you eat. If you eat more slowly, you will give your stomach time to register the feeling of fullness and give your brain the signal to stop eating. You could try pacing yourself…

I watched a YouTube video earlier today that focuses on this very issue, in the context of a calisthenics program, but then goes on to discuss other areas beyond fitness. His view is that demotivation is a "feature not a bug". https://youtu.be/yZ1wiTMFPzY?si=9_rsM8c9IAoWItpB

You will probably not be able to figure out what a "livable weight" is for yourself until you actually get there. No one is going to twist your arm and require you to achieve or maintain a particular weight. If you don't want to go below a certain weight, you don't have to. I wouldn't worry so much about the labels.…

There are several things that you should double-check to ensure that your Apple Watch is giving the most accurate estimates possible for you. See this article for details: Get the most accurate measurements using your Apple Watch. If your current activity level is low (because of long hours of driving, sitting in class,…

Yup, these are TV shows. (Dr. Horrible is the only exception. It was produced for the Internet.) Edit: I suppose that Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is also an exception, since it was a direct-to-Netflix production. But I watch Netflix on my TV, so I think of it as TV show. :P

Hallo! I'm afraid that I don't have much in common with you. I'm a middle aged American lady who has been on MFP for a while and has no particular deadline for losing my weight. I'm always happy to have new pals, though, so feel free to add me if you'd like. My husband and I watched the Norwegian television program…

Woman: ✓ Under 50 lbs to lose: ✓ Started with MFP in 2012: ✓ I guess that I started with MFP probably right around the time that you left, but I've stuck with it daily since then and I'm approaching my four year anniversary. I am not childless. And, "I'm over 25, but you can trust me". (You'd need to be closer to my age to…
-
I followed a similar path as you (not adding friends immediately), but I only held out for thirty days. I wanted to prove to myself that I could stick with this thing before I added any pals, because I did not want to end up quitting and embarrassing myself. I remember posting a question or comment on the forum sometime in…

True.

Hunger hormones change with eating patterns. If you usually eat two meals a day, you will be hungry twice a day. If you usually eat three times a day you'll be hungry three times a day. If you eat six meals a day you'll be hungry six times a day, and so on. Earlier in life, I used to not be hungry for breakfast and would…
