  • You could just purchase a Garmin Vivofit, Polar Loop or Fitbit, because they track your TDEE among other things. You can check your wristband daily to get your exact TDEE readout. If you have a heart rate monitor, it does the same thing. You'd just need to wear it all day.
  • How about super easy gluten free Paleo pancakes? All you need is 1 egg + 1 banana ...sooo easy & quick & sweet! All you do is microwave the banana to make it super soft, then whip in the egg...spray a little olive oil or coconut oil in the pan and spoon/pour it out like regular pancake batter...makes maybe 3-4 pancakes.

  • Walden Farms makes no sodium, fat free salad dressings....there are a few carried in Safeway, Wegmans, Giant, but their full line in on their website.
  • Concordancia is right. It only adds the exercise to your profile. MyFitnessPal is utilized best for food, not an exercise database. I use a separate database on my own website that allows me to tailor make routines for clients. As a personal trainer, I've found that I get better results with clients completing tasks when I…

  • One thing you can do with MFP is to open up your food diary to "public" or "friends". That way you can look to a few of your trusted & nutrition knowledgeable friends to help you with your nutrition. I use MFP with my clients every day. Most of them really do well, because they know that I'll be reviewing everything they…

  • @cookiekrunch Plateaus are totally normal...happen to everyone. Getting out of it can be a little tricky, but if your follow the formula/technique, you should be fine.

  • You're doing an excellent job staying committed to yourself & your goals! Never let your past steal your future. : )
  • Sodium! Start by using MFP to track your sodium. See how much you take in a day. 2,500mg per day is decent, but 1,500mg is what you really want to strive for. REMEMBER: sodium makes you soak up water...so watch & reduce.
  • TDEE is just an educated guess. Everyone is different, so you have to tweak it for you. I prefer tracking body fat and not depending as much on the scale. Body fat is tracked about once a month. That way you know if your nutrition is really working (i.e. muscle loss or fat loss).
  • I use Endomondo. It posts your run and time on facebook (you can tweak the privacy) in real time. It's cool to have your friends cheer you on as you workout.
  • No don't eat more. That won't help if you're trying to lose weight. ONLY eat more if you are trying to maintain your weight or build muscle mass. BOTTOM LINE: It doesn't make sense to eat back all of the calories you just worked off.
  • I track, and I love it. It's not required to meet whatever goal you have, but it will be a more smooth ride if you do. Not counting is like guessing. You're likely to have more setbacks when guessing. Achieving a goal is hard enough when you're keeping track of everything. So, if you don't mind the extra time it will take…
  • You are correct. MFP is not suited for your goal. This site is for the average person who's body fat isn't that good. What I mean by that is 15% body fat for men is the # they try to hit to start seeing their 6 pack abs, and it's 20% for women. Actually that's the main reason why MFP doesn't even request to know your body…
  • your moderately active selection is ok...now just subtract 500 calories a day from that. Lastly, you'll need to get your macro ratios correct (i.e. protein, fat, carbs intake for each meal you have) . Eating a certain amount of calories isn't enough for you at this point. You'll need to focus on each macro just as much.…
  • Yes, 1. You'll need a good knee brace, plus you need to complete a good rehab program for the knee too. If you have health insurance, head back to the ortho. If you no longer have health insurance, check out the PhysioExercises Channel on Youtube here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3F4LBR9aAI 2. Check out Jeff Galloway's…

  • I'm not sure I understand the purpose of a FitBit instead of using a good HR monitor. It seems to be an HR monitor with a cool name. My Polar HR monitor with the chest strap does the same thing. It's just that I don't wear it all of the time. But then again, why wear it all of the time? I was always taught not to count…
  • I only trust my heart rate monitor. I use a Polar HR monitor with a strap. The HR monitors with a strap are most accurate, because they are closest to your heart, which gives the strongest beat. You can set it with your age and weight. Then it will calculate your calories burned based on those factors and the amount of HR…
