I don't find that this advice is always helpful. When I have a craving for something, but don't have it, I sometimes eat other things instead, and because those don't satisfy my cravings, I still want to eat so I try something else, and since that doesn't satisfy it so I might eat something more, and etc.

Again I repeat my question. If you are not willing to do anything about it then I'm not sure what you want us to tell you?

If you aren't prepared to do anything about it (not eat, eat less, bring something for yourself, bring a food scale, ask the group to change what they bring) then I'm not sure what you want us to tell you?

You click on the profile name then click 'view diary'. If their diary isn't open then you won't be able to see it.

If your clothes are fitting looser then get smaller clothes.

I'm not big into fitness quotes/inspirational pic things. It's not my jam, I don't find inspiration from them, but some people do and I certainly wouldn't be apposed to them wearing the shirt if that quote inspired them to make better choices to get closer to their goal.

There are a lot of quotes that are good/helpful to adults that shouldn't be on a child's shirt. Doesn't mean they aren't good quotes for people who are old enough to reason through them properly.

You're twisting the quote into what you want to hear, and I'm twisting it into what I want to hear. That's all that happening.

We use a lot of words differently than their full meaning would lend itself to. Have you seen what the word 'literally' has become. It actually has changed it's definition in the dictionary because people were using it in a way that it was not intended to be used so much.

What's your point. I said you can eat anything you want if it fits in your calories. And most people here are trying to lose weight so they HAVE to eat below their TDEE to do so and considering they got over weight by eating more than their TDEE then they have to chose to not do that.

I only avoided it due to what I posted on the first page in my first response to this thread. People hear 'skinny' and think skin and bones. I hear 'skinny' and think fit, muscled, fairly flat stomach.

No you don't, you post the same topic over and over for no reason other than the attention.

Guys, you should really just leave these threads alone. He posts a thread like this a lot and it doesn't get anywhere. He doesn't care that he should be eating more or what anyone else says so just leave these threads alone and he likely stop posting them if he doesn't get the responses/attention he's looking for.

People keep saying 'food DOES taste better than skinny feels' or 'I can't imagine living life not eating all the good yummy things' but that to me is not at all what the quote is saying. I don't think of the quote as saying don't eat anything yummy or don't enjoy food. To me it just says that if what you're eating isn't…

People hear 'skinny' and assume a bag of bones with no muscle. When I hear 'skinny' I hear it in terms of what I want my body to look like/feel like. So for me 'skinny' means fit, with some nice muscle, with a fairly flat tummy. But people get all bent out of shape over the word 'skinny'.

Have single servings of the things that look the most low calories. Take only one plate of food. Eat a little less during the day. Eat at home and either don't eat there or just munch on some of the salad (not all salads are low cal, some rival large burgers in terms of calories). Bring your lower cal meal, then some…

I just entered a typical day of food into Mfp the way I would have eaten before. (Didn't eat it) I think I was around 3500 cals.

That's not how it works. You set your activity level to be correct (if you're active it should say active) then set Mfp to how much weight you want to lose a week

I ate about 1630 today. Breakfast: Nothing. I don't eat breakfast as I'm not hungry in the morning and prefer more cals for later. Lunch: Salad Snack: Yogurt with raspberries. I don't normally have an afternoon snack but knew my evening was busy and I wouldn't get to eat supper till later Supper: Pita Sandwich, corn on the…

It could be an activity tracker, rather than HRM. Something like a fitbit, or jawbone. They could step based activity.

yes

If you are looking at the fitbit site and it says you have 1000 cals to eat yet you probably haven't told fitbit that you want to lose weight so it's asking for you to eat at maintenance. My fitbit asks me to eat at maintenance because I haven't asked it to lose weight. I have mfp set to lose weight and follow the calorie…

Sweat isn't a sign of burning more cals. Just like hot yoga really doesn't burn more cals than regular yoga.

I average 20k steps, but I don't have a walking job so I get them all through running and walking in the evenings and on the weekends. I have a fitbit one and really like it. I like that it's not on my wrist.

I agree with lifting more as well. Stronglifts is meant to be done 3 times a week. You're not gonna have good results doing it once a week. It(stronglifts app) will usually ask me to deload (drop down to lower weights) if I have not lifted in a week to prevent injury.

I tried a new recipe for mashed potatoes using cream cheese and sour cream. It was really good. 260 cals for 250grams of potatoes. I don't often have milk for regular mashed potatoes because I don't use milk often so it goes bad so this was a great alternative.

It's likely cause you have it set to sedentary that you are getting high positive adjustments with so few steps. MFP expects you, at sedentary, to really not move at all (office job, not doing anything active after) so any walking will result in positive adjustments. Negative adjustments mean that if MFP thinks you hsould…

I don't know how well you can do strong lifts without real weights. You add 5 pounds to your weights every time you lift as long as you could complete your previous training day's lifts, and you move up in weights pretty quickly that way. I don't know how you'd be able to fudge that. I would probably look at a different…

That sounds pretty correct to me. I ran a 5km obstacle course race today which had me climbing up and down hills and over walls, and such the entire time resulting in 70 'floors' and 12000 steps and I got 400 extra cals for that I believe. 10,000 steps isn't that much.

Ok, thanks, I have no problem carb loading! ;)
