I'm a vegetarian and I've been eating quorn for YEARS with absoultely no problem - its tasty and healthy - and there is a huge varierty of products.. (well in the UK anyway - not sure about the US and if this is just a new product to you guys). My husband is a big carnivore and he also enjoys the quorn products. So, don't…

A public holiday here in the UK. Many people had yesterday off their work. I was in center Parcs for the weekend with a group of friend so I pigged out and drank a lot.. I did go over my 1390 calories goal but I was doing sooo much exercise that I haven't put on anything!

I'm just back from a 2 week holiday in Turkey - all inclusive so of course there was food and drink aplenty. I ate a lot of salad options - which I like anyway (I'm vegetarian) and the salads are always so much tasty abroad but I did not starve myself and enjoyed the chips and the mayonnaise and the nice breakfasts and…

So... I set it to 1.5lbs a week so my calories went up to 1390 a day. And have been on that for the past week. A few days I went a little over the calorie amount. . On saturday I went 960 over due to a friends 30th bday. I stepped on the scale this morning and have put 1lb on! Whats that all about? Surely I should have…

Thanks guys.

so basically if im eating back my exercise calories just stick to what MFP tells me to eat but at 1lb setting rather than 2lb??

I have 31 pounds to lose.. I'm guessing soon MFP will ask me to review? So you're saying I should move to 1lb through MFP? To be honest thats generally my weigh loss per week these days anyway as I'd say most days I go over my 1200 limit by about 100.. So maye I should just set it to 1lb per week!!!

Confused again! But thanks for the explanation.. But at the moment I eat my exercise calories which i see from your linked post that when using TDEE you shouldn't??

See this is where I get confused hence why i have been just following MFP blindly!! Its easier than thnking about it!! So actually at the minus 500 I'm currently set at (ie 1200) that would work out at 3500 calories less which is a 1lb so actually if i wanted to lose 2lbs i should be eating even less?? Not going to happen…

shamelessly bumping to try to get more replies..

Thanks for the reply. That sounds like its a good theing then! yay! I do an official weigh in once a week but always do a few cheeky step on scales throughout the week and from those I had already thought I probably wouldn't lose this week... travelling is next two weekend so can't blame that.. I definitely have lost…

I drink about 4-5 pint glasses of water a day and I used to get confused about how to record this on MFP. The U. S. liquid pint = 473.176 milliliters; The British Imperial pint (which I use!) = 568.261 milliliters. 1 US cup = 236.588237 millilitres So I have now decided that 2 cups on the MFP = 1 pint glass of water for me.

I'm 5ft 11 (a large frame though i admit) and I'm aiming for 168lbs goal.. which is 12lbs over your current weight. So, I'd say you should not be looking to reduce calories but be on your ideal maintenance level which MOP will work out for you. But you say you jiggle.. and yes, thin doesn't always equal healthy. You should…

Yep, the cup and fluid ounces drives me crazy too. sometimes it takes me ages to find the right food thats not in cups or ounces or fluid ounces!! But good to know its about 250ml.

Totally... I recalulated after week 6 and 16lbs lost (from a starting weight of 16 stone) and it took it down by 90 calories, from 1290 to 1200. When i looked back at previous weeks where I had been in the green I was now showing the majority of the time in the red as I am normally less than 100 calores from my calorie…

Quorn is a mostly UK europe thing. As is Linda McCartney. You find it in the fresh aisles (often beside the cold meat quiches etc) and the frozen food aisles in the big supermarkets. I'm a veggie and use it all the time. My husband is not a veggie and loves quorn too.

16lbs I was really happy with that! This is week 7...
