depends on the entry you're using in MFP but I do tend to use the ones that specify raw. I do so because your idea of cooked and mine may differ take a 6 oz piece of meat... cook it to blue rare and weigh it... it'll weigh SOMETHING less than it did.. put it back on and cook it until well done, it'll weigh something less…

I just add whey or hemp protein powder to the oatmeal when I want a protein boost, also to mashed potatoes or other veggies etc. Works great to give the nutrition breakdown you want.

I was going to use mine tonight but sadly the game-case is empty, not sure where the disk went but I'll use it. It's got to be better than just sitting on your butt watching the games, or what passes for entertainment on the tube..and we had fun recently with a cheesy fishing game on the Wii so many laughs that we decided…

cast iron pans aren't marketed as non-stick, that's the teflon / ceramic coated pans. you know the stuff that can chip off and kills pet-birds (in the case of teflon anyway) but I don't need oil in my cast iron as long as I heat it up first and it's always seasoned.
-
Doesn't sound like anything new, a properly seasoned cast iron pan needs no additional oil to keep an egg from sticking to fry it, as long as your pre-heat it adequately. So from that alone, pre-heated and properly seasoned, I'd imagine you could do it... I could try it with my pizza stone, that is also no-stick if it's…

Try different prep methods, my parents boiled everything even the cans of veggies, talk about soggy tasteless lumps, but some will benefit from grilling, some steaming, some smoking... tons of different prep methods that will change the taste / texture and may make them palatable. Blending them into things though can hide…

Don't overlook that the "calorie goal" includes the deficit for your chosen rate of loss on MFP, and BMR is going to depend on (according to the MFP calculator) height, weight, age and sex. So mine at 330 has me at 2400 calories for BMR

100% depends on if you have to reach... if it's on the wall in front of you - over those extra inches you have to reach are a nuisance if it's beside your knees then it doesn't matter the roll is right there, yoink. there better also be a supply to refill from nearby, never runs out.

seems you've looked under exercise (where you COULD add it as a custom exercise) there ARE food entries for "breast feeding" and "breastfeeding" have a look and see if one of those fit. Or my home > settings > update diet/ fitness profile and decrease the rate of loss you have set, every 0.5 decrease is an extra 250…

I eat and lose at 2400 the 'scary' part is that until I was tracking I had to have been eating close to 4000 calories a day to put on weight as I was, but not tracking I didn't and couldn't know that...

under the search results box is a spot that says "can't find what you're looking for? add to the database" where clicking the last part of that which is a link takes you to the create exercise area.. to create a PERSONAL exercise only.. to do this route you probably want to have an idea of your caloric burn from a HRM…

Well that's great.. if it's aerobics there are 5 selections from the cardio results. There's nothing requiring Heart rate, BMI or MET or needing algebra to get a calorie burn estimate for strength training if you go exercise > CARDIO > add exercise > search "strength training" as in it's a CARDIO exercise you're adding, if…

it WILL calculate calorie for strength training if you go exercise > CARDIO > add exercise > search "strength training" or if that's part of a workout involving cardio AND strength you could log circuit training which is available in the database. You could use one of the existing 2 yoga exercises or if you can find a way…

I keep hoping one of these will be about a supplier of green coffee beans for home-roasting but it's always the extract stuff. Bah.

Within MFP Food > database > Denny's they have a ton of their foods available in MFPs database

Not at this time. Every MFP user has a week that runs Mon-Sun
-
One thing you could try is food > database search "cooking light" and see what comes up I stopped counting at 30 cooking light recipes - you would have to trust that the entry is following the recipe (maybe confirm via the nutritional facts that MFP and cooking light agree)

Way to go that's rocking progress! Were you able to find a bicycle designed for ... yourself? I only have heard of one company that has a vendor locally and they're specced for 375 total load, which would be me and about half my gear on any trip I've got in mind. Or did you just pick one and stick to the bike-paths so not…

Log a days worth of your "normal eating" get close, be as accurate with portions as you can be to get an idea of your current calorie intake. Just pick one day and track everything, if you add it to your food track it... condiments, sauces, oils you fry in etc. I did this when I started and when I started losing weight it…

Depends on where I'm at for my nutrition goals for the day. handful of - Almonds, cashews, pistachios, pretzels cup of frozen berries, popcorn, scoop of ice cream, yogurt... ounce of chocolate, jerky etc. container of Kipper snacks, cheese string,

I buy whey protein and hemp protein and add them to various recipes as I make them, anything i want to boost the protein of, my home-made shakes... pancakes I can put the protein powder in place of about 1/4 of the dry ingredients boosting the nutrition. mashed potatoes... sprinkled over oatmeal or on a nut butter slice of…

maybe you didn't measure the body-parts that you lost weight from? The default values of neck... I haven't changed much in the neck even as I packed on all these extra pounds... waist.. well I'm surely not the same... chest.. arm leg... I broke mine down so each arm (upper and lower) and each leg (upper and lower) are…

Have a look at the sources for the "research" you're reading too. Anti-milk data? Pro-milk data? which one's from the dairy farmers united... eggs good / eggs evil? which one is from the poultry association OR which one wants you to buy their highly processed alternative to a natural item. They come and go it was in the…

worked nights, and changed my logging habits here on MFP my first meal on waking was breakfast regardless of the time of day, last meal before bed was dinner and I'd log all them on the day I'd be on when heading to bed so I could get the 'completed diary' note to the feed.

It depends on how you're set up. My home > settings > update diet / fitness profile If you're set to lose weight (0.5, 1, 1.5 or 2 lbs per week) then your daily calorie goal already contains the deficit for you to lose weight (assuming you didn't run into the minimum 1200 calories that MFP won't set anyone below) Your…
