I'm having the same issue. It started yesterday. The food syncs (MFP to Fitbit) but the steps/calorie adjustment didn't. I contacted support and was told to reach out to the developer of the fitbit app.

You can look into addibg some plant based protein as well. For example, legumes, nuts/ nut butters, seeds, tofu, tempeh. I don't eat meat, and get 70-110 grams a day depending on my caloric goal for the day.

I take a prenatal, vegan vitamin D3 (AA are often times deficiency) and Vegan DHA/EPA (algae oil). Mainly to prep my body for conception. Prior to, I just took B12 as "insurance" because I'm vegan. Although, I do eat a lot of b12 fortified foods.

You left vegan because it was limiting, but isn't Keto limiting as well?

I want to thank everyone who suggested the scale. My 1/2 cup of oats (which I have all the time) measured 49 grams and not the 40 grams on the label for 150 calories. I was consuming about 34 extra calories (68 if I doubled the serving size). Luckily, my 2 tbsp of Peanut Butter was close to the 31 gram serving size. This…

Don't be discouraged. You are doing fine. Losing weight rapidly isn't sustainable anyway. Stay consistent, you'll reach your goal weight.

I'm vegan and my diary is open!

Thank you Ladyhusker! My food scale comes in tomorrow. Meanwhile I've been measuring 'below' the rim of my measuring cups lol.

Thanks Dianne. I've considered all above over the last 8 weeks which is why I was at my wit's end. I believe the scale will be very helpful since I've always relied on them for measurement. I'm hoping that will make the difference. Thanks!

Thank you :)

I'm sorry for the confusion. I took a 2 week break after 15 weeks of dieting. I've been +/2 lbs since June. Since then, I've tightened up and increased activity with no change. I'm almost obsessive with my tracking. Quiksylver made a good point with the scale. I thought I was ok with just using measuring cups.

Thanks! I thought measuring was enough.

I've been poling for almost 5 years. It's my primary work out routine. I started out with no upper body strength and now I'm busting out pull ups, push ups and other body weight exercises.

Weight loss isn't linear. Weight lost is best tracked over weeks and even months. Patience, young grasshopper.

More Carbs= More water retention Starting new exercise = Even more water retention. Conclusion: Water retention. Good job on 4 lbs lost in 2 weeks. Healthy pace for weight loss.

HRM are not meant for all day use, just for exercise. If you want a good approximation of your TDEE, try getting something like FitBit or BodyMedia.

Tempeh, summer squash, mushrooms and zuchini tossed in sea salt, fresh pepper, parsley, a dash of garlic and 1 tbs coconut oil then oven roasted. About 410 calories (you can reduce the oil to make it lower). It's filling, has a high fiber and protein content and healthy fats. It's my go to veggie meal.
