I am absolutely that way! I tried to make everything as flexible as possible. I like having different calories from day to day and follow a weekly calorie goal. It allows me to go over unexpectedly and still know I haven't ruined my progress.

It is interesting. Running completely suppresses my appetite.

I started with theirs and tweaked. I needed more calories than I was getting and realized that I find carbs and protein more filling, so I upped them and lowered fat some.

I eat the calories I earn from cardio on my lifting days. I also add in calories for lifting which come to about 150 per hour and right in line with the MFP database.

Most of the labels in the US have grams for liquids. I weigh them too. Quicker, cleaner.

Macro nutrients are the three primary nutrients the body uses in larger quantities: Protein, Fat, Carbohydrates Micro nutrients are those we use in smaller amounts: Potassium, sodium, iron, etc.

I usually have a peanut butter and banana sandwich for my first meal. I find them quick, filling, and they come in at just under 400 calories. I also use 40 calorie bread, so that helps a lot.

You can also click the box next to a meal and delete the whole thing at once. The app is just much better for logging, IMO. You can delete easier and the search function is way better.

I have had Major Depressive Disorder since I was a kid; 44 now. I now use a low dose of medication, and am fortunate to be one of those for whom exercise helps tremendously. I found a program that I enjoy (lifting) several years ago, and was able to decrease my dose of meds shortly after. Two additional things that do help…

No worries, you didn't start anything. Fortunately logging is by far the most frequent culprit in cases like this, and, by far, one of the easiest to fix. Let us know how you're coming along.

My advice would be to not make changes based on one week. There are going to be weeks where the scale doesn't go down and sometimes goes up. And all of what @middlehaitch said. You're already in deficit regardless of exercise calories. You're supposed to add them and eat them. As for personal experience, I ate all of my…

^ Those are so much fun.

My husband likes to scan stuff, while still double checking the entries, because his big fingers have a hard time typing on his phone.

Here we go (assuming this still working): https://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/questions/16321504-adding-new-foods-and-barcode-scanner Scan the new barcode and there should be an option to add it to the database.
-
I sincerely don't know. I believe early on users could add them, but now I would assume it has to go through a link like Kshama added above. It's not something I've looked into, but I know it's not a obvious option on the app or website.
-
Yeah, but it sounds like he wants to add a barcode too. And, I don't think users can do that.
-
I am a bit confused too. I am reading this as the OP owns a meal prep company and wants to enter his food into the database, for others to use, with an accompanying barcode. As far as I know, there is no way for users to do this anymore.

Yes, with premium you can set separate goals by the day for the upcoming week.

If you're willing to open your diary, folks can give some feedback on your logging.

No breakfast for me or I end up hungry all day.
