  • The front of the box should say how many grams of kernels there are per bag. From a quick google, it looks like one bag contains 99g of kernels. (Double-check your box!) So one bag contains 3 "servings" (lol) of popcorn. 33g of unpopped kernels has 180 calories. Therefore each bag has 180x3 = 540 calories. (This assumes…

  • +1 to probably not measuring your food correctly. If you're doing the workouts you say, then it's simply that you're eating too much. How are you measuring calories?

  • Me and my family all use the adjustments from the step counter. However, I will also advise you to turn on negative adjustments as well. For me, I'm 5'7 and 144lb, trying to lose the last 9lb. I work a super sedentary desk job. MFP gives me my 1lb/week goal as 1270, which means I need to be burning 1770 on a daily basis.…

You're only eating 1200 calories, so you're already on a deficit of 800 calories. Then you go for a 2-mile…

  • At your height and weight, your body burns roughly 2300 calories just generally living - eating, breathing, digesting, pumping blood, etc. If you burn more calories than you eat, you will lose weight. Calories in < calories out. To lose 1 lb per week, you need an overall deficit of about 3500 calories in that week. To lose…
