sounds good to me.

I'm also one that as long as it fits into my goal, I eat it. I think I have a good mix. Tonight I made a ground turkey meatloaf made with zucchini, carrots, and green peppers and then for dessert I had chocolate chip cookies. Actually thinking about it, most of my processed foods are dessert. I really like dessert. :smile:…

I added a few of you. Would love to be friends with anyone who is interested! I've been consistent with MFP for a year now and am at just over 20 lbs lost. It was a bit more but the holidays were tough this year and I gained a bit. I still have aways to go to get to even my first goal let alone my stretch goals!

I had a b/l fascia release due to chronic exertional compartment syndrome just over 2 months ago now. I've just been given the go ahead to start back to running--slowly. I also am still in PT. I'm noticing some symptoms like I had before and unfortunately, I've read a lot of stories about the surgery failing, so I feel…

That is so bizarre because yeah, I have no other apps connected and that UA # always seemed to be related to my Fitbit numbers. I checked it this morning and am about to head to the gym, so we will see what happens today.
-
So, I actually did not have it linked to measure steps. Could that be the problem? Even so, under my installed apps, Fitbit is the only one installed. At one point in time, Map My Run was installed which I think is UA, but I uninstalled that at least a few months ago as I had surgery and running hasn't been possible. Here…

ok thanks. I will do that.

I add greek yogurt and protein powder to my overnight oats for a good dose at breakfast when I'm not feeling or too busy to make eggs

That pain isn't always normal for a novice runner. That might seem self explanatory, but I thought I was having shin splints for the longest time and then seeing a sport med doctor I was told I have chronic exertional compartment syndrome. Here I am two months post-surgery hoping to be able to start running soon. If…

I just made a post about this on my personal page. Listening to my body--that I really am physically satisfied even though my brain says it wants more. Also serving sizes. I went out to dinner last night and it was family style. I planned to eat a third of a portion (which was a serving as the plate fed 2-3 people). When i…

my UA calories burned in MFP is completely off from what my fitbit app shows. Yesterday for example it says my estimated brun from UA was like 3200 but in fitbit my end of day was 2500. I had about 250 cals of nonstep activity logged in mfp, but even that wouldn't make up for the difference. It's been like that at least…

Not sure if this is the same issue or I'm just not understanding how it works, but my UA calories burned in MFP is completely off from what my fitbit app shows. Yesterday for example it says my estimated brun from UA was like 3200 but in fitbit my end of day was 2500. I had about 250 cals of nonstep activity logged in mfp,…

are the 3.99 ones new? Mine were 6.99 and then they got rid of the 4 pack and only do 8 for 11.99. I do like them though.

Sounds like OP isn't want to eat the fast food because it makes her physically feel bad, not feel guilty. Lots of convenience stores and even drugstores have ready to eat stuff. My Walgreens and 7-11 has a section with fresh cut fruit, fresh salads and sandwiches, yogurts, cheese sticks, etc.
-
You mean how much under your goal? Usually about 200 as well, but I have my numbers set to lose 1 lb a week so going under that much still brings me to more like 1.5 lbs a week. Also, I usually eat what MFP tells me and then those calories I'm not eating are usually the FitBit adjustment which I don't 100% trust.

Quaker makes instant oatmeal packs that are raisin, date, and walnut and they are fantastic in my opinion. Do not require anything extra. I also will make baked oatmeal (lots of recipes online) that I made on Sundays and then cut and heat throughout the week. Also when I make plain oats, I make it with almond milk because…

Do you ever have cheat days? If so you can look at your calories as a weekly allowance. If you aren't hungry three days of the week and eat less but then you have a cheat day where you go over, it might even out. I tend to be less hungry days I work out but more hungry the day after, so I might eat a little bit over those…

1 egg, half a 100 cal whole wheat sandwich thin, and 4 slices turkey bacon. I also have weird work hours today so I will have a "2nd breakfast" which will be a slice of amish baked oatmeal :smile:

I don't know how new or old they are but I got two Cooking Light cookbooks, one is 3 Step Express Comfort Food and the other is Complete Meals in Minutes. We have made dinner from them every night the last two weeks and everything has been really good and I am very impressed at the calorie count for how filling.

It is just me and my husband in chicago area. If we don't plan out our meals ahead of time, we spend around 120-150 a week. A lot goes to waste then though because we end up not using some of it or it goes bad too fast to figure out what to do. Since we have started planning meals, it has gone down to 80-100 a week, and…

I just count it all. If anything you are taking in slightly less calories than you are and it contributes to your deficit.

Vitamin C is not an issue. Those Emergency packs have like many multiples of your daily goal in one tab. You just pee it out. Iron could be problematic. It depends how much you go over. They do make multivitamins for women specifically without iron because I believe women past menopause don't need as much

That is something I never thought about, but totally true. WW was how I tried to lose weight the very first time (and I did lose about 35), but I never learned about portion size and to this day I struggle with eyeballing and tend to just weigh.
-
The only thing I notice after eating out is a bump in water weight for a few days after. But, if I stick to my regularly scheduled meal plan and ignore the scale for a few days, it falls off and then some.

Sargento makes these cheese, nut, and dried fruit trays that are 180 cals and they are so perfect for on the go. 9g of protein too.

B: half a 100 cal whole wheat sandwich thin, 1 egg, 4 slices turkey bacon L: all white meat turkey burger and baked french fries D: hoisin glazed chicken breast with shoba noodles and stir fry veggies Dessert: stuffed churros from an amazing churro shop we found yesterday

In the past I was, but this time around I raised my daily calorie goal from 1200 to 1600. I am still losing weight and I am able to fit treats in daily (if I want) or eat slightly less daily and have bigger treats on the weekend. Since I do not feel deprived during the week, I don't feel spiral when I have something "bad"…

I made amish baked oatmeal for breakfast that will last the next three days. I don't meal prep dinner, but what I do is make doubles of dinner and have the leftovers for lunch the next day. I used to meal prep meals for lunch for the week but I got bored so easily and then would end up going out to eat at least 1 or 2x a…
-
I did WW but only used the online tools, not the in person meetings, so for me, it was a waste of money because MFP does what WW online does and is free. If you like the accountability of the meetings, then maybe it would be worth it, but idk, there are free support groups out there that deal with food (although you don't…

How I am eating chicken this week--hoisin glazed chicken, chicken pot pies, coconut crusted chicken. Last week I had sweet and sour chicken and chicken cacciatore.
