bet once you do it all the time the amount burned goes down a bit, at least that is what happened when i did the 30 day shred.I wore my heart rate monitor through the whole thing including warm up and burned 529 calories in 56 minutes. Although looking at other responses, I hope my monitor isn't off. How do you know if…

I suppose that is possible, but I really don't want it to be. A pysical trainer once told me that some people's bodies are happy at a certain weight and when they eat more they don't really gain much and when they eat less they don't really lose much. She said they stay in a range of 10 to 15 lbs. I considered that I could…

Thank you, and I drink a ton of water. It is the only beverage I consume except unsweetened hot and ice tea. Also, I NET 1200, usually eat 1800 but have 600 cals worth of exercise. Thanks for the motivation!

300 grams is a TON of protein. I always thought a good but also high amount is 30g a meal, like 90 a day. Protein has 4 calories a gram, so already with just the protein you would be at 1200 calories. I guess if you only ate meat.

Thanks for all the great advice, all of you! Also, how do you set it so that the weight loss bar shows up after your post? I can't find it in the settings. Not everyone's shows up, but some do and I don't know where to look. Again thanks everyone!

Thanks Amy, good advice. The site where I calculated my TDEE might be wrong (http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/). I changed it and included that I do 80 minutes of hard exercise a day and it said my # was 2025. Before, when I put that I sat at a desk all day it said 1905. I would think that the 1905 is too high and the…

If I were underestimating my activity level, then wouldn't I be losing for sure? I do over an hour of cardio a day because I have the time and burn 600, but other than that the rest of my day is computer work, reading, cooking, ie - pretty sedentary. Oh, for those looking at my fitness diary, I was sick twice and missed…

Oh, yes. I changed it to public so you can see now. Sorry, I haven't really fooled around with the settings before.

Did you find out a reason for this? I am new and noticed the same thing. Please let me know if you know why that is, sorry as well I know you posted this a long time ago.

Good thing, I was thinking it didn't make any sense. There would be no reason for nutrition facts to not include those....Glad you know now though, at least you were probably eating less calories I guess.

So, when MFP calculates my calories, it doesn't include the calories that day from fat? Lets say I had 1700 calories today and 22 grams of fat, do I have to add 220 to my 1700 total? Dos this also mean that the calories on the nutrition facts on packages don't include fat calories?? That doesn't make sense to me.

That is not what I understand. Whole grains are good for you, but they have a lot of carbs and calories. Fat has 9 calories per gram, but can fill you up fast, especially if it has a lot of protein. I think you should follow what was calculated for you on this site. The numbers for me here at least seem pretty good. By the…

Thanks for all the replies! I am new to MFP and to lose 1 pound a week, my net calories need to be at 1500. So far I have been keeping that, but initially I didn't have the heart rate monitor and thought I was only burning around 200 calories. Now I find out it is more than twice that, which is great, but if it is wrong,…
