Chicken and black bean burritos, very yummy very filling I usually cook about a dozen and freeze some for later but each burrito is around 250 calories depending on what kinds of foods you use. 20 oz boneless skinless chicken breast, boiled and shredded 1/2 cup lime juice Chili powder, garlic powder salt pepper to taste…

I sometimes like to just cut up the precooked ham steaks and throw them in a big ole salad, very yummy.

Ditto, the only parts of ny body I love .

Exactly this. Read that last line and if the answe isn't automatically yes, then you need to move on. Nobody wants to be maybe happy for the rest of their life.

I wear mine until I'm done cooling off and stretching and once I do my heart rate is back under 65% usually.

Yeah, I'm not a big sweet fan I really do need to start eating more fruit though.

Alright thanks! Protein is definitely not a problem for me. Guess I'll have tto buy some nuts :)

Hi I'm 196 lbs and a typical cardio workout for me is 40-45 minutes and I burn upwards of 500,it doesn't matter how fast or slow your going, as long as your heat rate is up and your moving you Will burn a ton of calories!

Hi! I am 5'5 and when I started on mfp I was about 205( 220 at my heaviest) which is considered about 70 lbs overweight. Yikes. I've been on mfp solid for a month today, and it really does help! Some of my weight I lost before mfp just working out, but since I joinedi it's helped me lose 11 pounds :) which Is extremely…

I think she means if you end up eating back all of your calories and going over your weekly limit. , then it becomes a negative thing that does mess up your progress, personally once a week I have a cheat day, I eat what I want as Lon g as it won't make me go over my weekly average.

I think they're iffy about it is because the whole purpose of mfp is to help you track what you eat and to make better choices that will stick with you through your life. Weightloss & overall health is a "marathon not a sprint", taking diet pills is kind of a slap in the face to that, because most of them curb your…

Ok well I thought it was ok I just wanted to make sure, I have a major tendacy to just find something I like to eat and do Sooo ebveryy day ..

Yes, I think everyone does! Don't worry though, mfp has sugar set really low, and doesn't differentiate between natural sugars and added sugars.

Haha I would have stopped at 3 anything more than that seems suspicious. Too good to be true ;)

I love drinking my tears! I put then in my coffee instead of creamer.

Oooh prizes? The good kind?

Thank you guys for all of your great answers, theyce been very helpful. I have much better grasp on it now :-D

That's why I was looking into tdee, my net calories are just too low, I think it's just my mind sees 1200 so I aim for that and then I don't want to eat back my calories. It feels counterproductive so I thought setting it to my tdee might ease ny mind a bit because I won't have to eat back any calories.

I'm in your boat. New to the community, but I love it. Add

That's why I begs interested in tde, because in the morning I plan my meals around 1200, but almost never eat back all the calories because I'm nervous I will go over lol , even though I know I'll burn 400-600 calories a day so I thought if I upped my calories to tdee I wouldn't worry so much about it.

This. I hadn't thought to do that but it's beenlliant. Lol I log my calories very diligently so this is good. I'm obsessed with the numbers part of all of this. I find it very fun and it gives me so much more control over my diet than I have ever had. So I guess in ten days well see. :)

So, would you suggest I eat my bmr and then eat back burned calories or just do a solid TDEE everyday? Sorry I'm really new to TDEE

So would you suggest TDEE because I rarely eat back all of my calories and my net usually ends up under 1000 except on cheat days. And I've had people tell me that is too low and my body needs more calories . I'm 196 with my ideal weight being 140 so I have a fair amount to lose.

When I go running my heartrate gets into the same range without pushing myself too hard, but it's usually up a fairly steep hill, and whenever I do leg excercises I.e. lunges squats. It really gets my heart going, I think if it doesnt hurt you should be okay, also if it starts to get really close to 200 take a few seconds…

Alright I'll try that! Thank you.. I'll try to net 1200 everyday . . You think that might do it?

I was thinking that might be it because I try to eat back my excersize calories but still only end up netting about 1000, more on the weekends. And I thought maybe I'm not getting enough food? Because I've been at 196 for like a week but before it was constantly, albeit slowly moving down. Is it because I've upped my…
