If I change from sedentary to very active do I still eat back my calories? (Don't shoot me....)

Well, that escalated quickly :laugh:

lol? Completely unnecessary My 1200 is based on MFP calculations for my height/current weight/goal weight - I didn't decide on 1200 off the top of my head

.5lb per month?! Way too low.....

Very reassuring! Might try to up my daily intake and see how it goes - I've been stuck at the same weight for weeks now

Honestly I was considering not tracking my food at all anymore and just focus on eating healthy instead, because I can never keep it under 1200 anyway. Then on the other hand I tracked granola today and figured out my moderate portion was 100g and 500 calories! The ingredients are mostly clean/whole food but 500 is way too…

P.s. forgot to mention I'm 5'2" FML hate being small!

My BMR is 1412

Yes please :)

Lowest fat, carbs/sugar

Looks like I'll be making my own! Thanks all. And thanks for the recipe!

I struggle with this too. Especially as calories can vary so drastically when you eat out! I suppose guessing is the only way

M&S has a reduced fat too...though pretty high in calories. Suppose it's ok if you limit portion size - I'd only be having it with crackers anyway as a small snack. On another note...is Hummus even healthy?

Thanks! Is Sabra ranked high on healthiness though? I'd assume some brands have a load of crap thrown in!

I was just about to create a thread about this. I am over mine without fail every day! My recommended intake is currently 24...it's impossible! Today I'm at 29 and this is what I ate: Breakfast: Omelette - 2 medium eggs, 25ml semi-skimmd milk, 2 slices ham, a few pieces of chicken. Dinner: Salmon with soy and ginger…

I'm struggling with this too. Finally manged to give up cereal which helped a lot...but now I'm eating fruit and yogurt for breakfast and it's even worse! (In terms of sugar) A 150g portion of Yeo Valley 0% fat vanilla has 23g of sugar. I'm way over the limit at the first meal! I know Greek yogurt is better but I can't…

How do you do it properly? For high intensity how high do you need to go? E.g. How many mph on the treadmill for how long?

Rice Krispies... Can someone PLEASE tell me if they're healthy? They're the lowest I can go sugar wise. And I have 2 (big) bowls a day so if it's not healthy I'm screwed!

P.s. I'm a cereal addict...

I'm the same - everything is in check except sugar. I can't seem to cut it down any more!

Thanks everyone!

That's what I find odd too! Ok so take BMI out of the equation. I am 5'2" , 11 stone & a UK size 12/14. That is definately overwight - so why is my body fat percentage in the healthy range? I'm thinking this website must be inacurate!

Thanks everyone for all your replies. I am now on porridge (with sweetner) and Cheerios (best I can do at the minute!).

Thanks I think I'll get my BMI done by a professional!

Yep many of you right about the sugar craving. I had all intentions of having a healthy breakfast this morning but needed sugar so caved and had coco pops.... Goal tomorrow = omlette or porridge

Tagaliatelle or Noodles with soy sauce - incredible!

Looks like you can only get them in America! Gutted - They look amazing!

Never heard of them. Do you know if you can buy in UK/Ireland?

Are Cheerios healthy? I love the Honey Nut ones, but would settle for regular if they're healthy!

What's Stevia?
