I regularly don't have my first meal of the day till 1/2 pm but wake up around 8. I also eat a lot past 7pm, which bogus science would lead you to believe makes you fat. In all honesty, eat when you feel hungry. No, not when you're bored, hungry. I have no hunger in the morning so wakeup, workout, get to work and before…

I'm on a 215 day MFP streak in terms of logging so I consider myself pretty consistent.. Workout daily also, feel free to add me.

TO increase satiety and decrease hunger make sure each meal consists of a good balance of carbs, proteins and fats. Out of interest, why do you feel you need so much protein?

A comrade in fitness is a comrade in fitness, regardless. Unless you use the Powerplates, then be gone from my gym.

I use MFP right now just to count my calories and make sure my diet is in check. I pay attention to my macros whilst trying to gain lean body mass! Believe me, constraint and food are two concepts which I took a long time to develop! I've never heard of Sushi places adding mayo to the rice! I don't eat the Americanised…

So the consensus is eat good sushi! I personally don't mind a cali roll but tend to prefer the simple raw fish variants. I guess a lot of it is people get carried away. I've seen people put away platters of Phili rolls and I just think 'damn, where do you put it?!' I say that not to judge but because I actually find sushi…

I use a Fitbit Force. It seems to work pretty well and be pretty accurate. I never 'eat back' my calories though. I work to a set number regardless of how active I am in a day and find I meet my (current) weight gain goals.

Plenty of walking and 80 minutes weight training/ mobility stretching.

Male 142 lbs. Squat 320 lbs, bench 210 lbs, deadlift 320 lbs x 3.

Got a Force for Christmas which makes me very happy, add me! https://www.fitbit.com/user/28YN53

Brilliant! Thanks guys and girls!

BUMP

Don't over think it. Each activity level adds 170 calories which is little. I log substantive exercise separately. I try to walk for 30 minutes a day in total and I'm quite active in the kitchen cooking. This comes to about 170 calories, meaning I factor it in as lightly active. Sedentary is literally nothing,. You sit in…

8 :)

8, you have a great smile!

8. Solid frame, can tell you lift (or at least move heavy objects on a frequent basis).

I think that's the main thing for going with the Force, its subtle. Anything bigger, even more so anything band like and I begin to feel a bit too-human guinea pig..

Great, so full MFP integration with an iPhone 4 and the only thing I lose out on is Fitbit's own mobile app? I think I'm definitely sold on the Force, it seems to compliment most if not all of the features I was looking for. MFP integration probably being the most important as I'm a self-confessed MFP addict.

10/10/. We're all beautiful. Right guys?

One last question regarding the Force. Apparently its only mobile compatible with iPhone 4s and up. I have an iPhone 4. Is it still possible to integrate with MFP? If so how does it function?

It seems though that no device can achieve an accurate burn for my weightlifting sadly. Apparently the Force is less accurate in the sense it underestimates activity but this isn't a huge issue for me. I would prefer underestimation to over estimation. Also the Force is a little more subtle than the Bodymedia, I think I…

It seems then the Fitbit Force is the most sensible solution!

Thanks luckydays. Based on the advice, i think I will order the Fitbit Force and ship to the UK (not available here yet). Waterproof would be nice but isn't essential and it seems that waiting for the Bodymedia Core 2 is a bit pointless with no release date even announced.

Would a HRM not be able to assess my exertion during weight training however that an activity band alone could not. Are there also any Fitbit compatible HRMs?
