There are very few categorically 'bad' foods. Choosing not to log a food is a choice to ignore the caloric impact that food has on your daily total, as well as the impact it has on your macronutrients and micronutrients.

Try to take my caffeine away and I'll show you anxiety! :noway: That said, it can absolutely make a person with sensitivity to caffeine jittery, irritable, and generally anxious.

Log it as 'coal mining.'

Oh, good. I'm Belle Centennial. I sound like an antebellum floozy.

That's not how this particular app is set up. It already includes a deficit based on how much you tell it you want to lose per week. The more you guess at the numbers you enter, the less accurate this application is, and the less likely it is to be able to give you sustainable results.

No. Paying 'no attention to the net calories' is a really good way to put yourself in an excessive caloric deficit, which is more likely to be harmful to body composition and long term success.

This. Meal timing is all but irrelevant for weight loss/management in the vast majority of people without a preexisting medical condition that dictates otherwise.

While neither sugar nor caffeine is inherently harmful to your body or your workout, it might help if we knew whether you're looking for the quick energy boost of caffeine, or a more sustained increase from macronutrients, or supplementing some of your micronutrients often associated with energy increases.

For the diet soda and Skinny Cow products, perhaps.

This.

I recognize we've moved on in the discussion, but for many folks in the restaurant and hospitality industries, the number of hours you work in a given week is no indicator of the number of hours you're working the next week, or the week after. For those folks, it's probably most accurate to set activity at 'sedentary' and…

For the record, I agree with you. I think those who claim that only 'intentional exercise' counts often have a poor understanding of how many calories daily activities can burn, and also tend to unintentionally separate out traditionally gender-divided chores into 'exercise/not exercise' based on which gender traditionally…

Please explain, clearly, how 5 hours of physical exertion from work is not burning calories, while 5 hours of gym time is.

I'd like to thank the producers of The Biggest Loser for making this thread - and others like it - proliferate.

That skirt would look great on my floor in the morning.

Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?

In general, fats and proteins provide more satiety than carbs (simple or complex), which is one of the many reasons people around here emphasize getting adequate amounts of those macros in particular. So, in planning your diet, try to pay special attention to meeting and surpassing the amounts MFP recommends on those…

Yup. I date people, not physiques.

Weight gain is caused by excess calories. If I ate 5000 calories a day of chicken, I'd gain weight, even though my carbohydrates would be all but non-existent. Sugar is just a carbohydrate. Unless there's a medical reason for you, personally, to track it - or you like demonstrating how you're losing weight while eating…

Jasmine Sambac with lavender, a bit of neroli, white musk, and an ozonic note.

Standard selfie.

Clif Protein bars have 20g protein, so yes.

What I consider great tasting might be something you dislike intensely, or even have an allergy or sensitivity to. What foods do you like that aren't candy?

With only 7 pounds to lose, you should be aiming at 0.5 pounds/week loss, not 2. It's not a race.

Folks in more urban areas often do not have the option of being 'this productive;' most apartment-dwellers in the USA, for example, don't have the choice to own livestock or grow crops, while Child and Family Services may (not 'will' but 'may') be notified if a teacher learns that a family has made a decision to 'go hungry…
