I have the same. I have found that timing and rotation help with vegetables. Like spinach on monday cant have again until Wednesday. This is always a set back for me as pasta potatoes and meat are the safest bets and dont make me run for the bathroom. They are also bad for losing weight.

My point is how does anyone know that she is doing the TDEE method? She's consuming 1600-1900 calories a day and not eating back exercise. Where does she what her overall needs are if her TDEE is 2200 and she eats 1600 a day that's a deficit of 600 calories a day before any exercise. it depends on a persons goals what they…

that's basically what this is saying.

so the assumption is that if you put in a goal above 1200 in MFP then you are doing TDEE? um... no i could have a goal of only losing 1lb a week and that would put me at sedentary of 1700 a day before exercise so with the whole eating back calories i would need to eat 1700 calories + any exercise calories.

:laugh:

What does it matter? Honestly. If that's how they approach then that's they're not forcing you to do it. And if it works for them it works for them. i don't eat my calories back but i unintentionally over eat on some days. i just don't stress about it and that's what works for me.

There was the lady who ran the Chicago Marathon 2 years ago full term (39ish weeks). She gave birth hours after crossing the finish line.

I have apnea but refused the CPAP because it gave me too much anxiety. I have a TAP dental appliance which works great. But my spnea is structural based and not wieght influenced.

I don't think you're reading the same thread as me. You came in talking about will power and food addictions neither of which have anything to do with the act OP thread on Sugar and the fact that it in and of itslelf is not the issue. the issue is a person relationship with sugar. which can lead to a will power problem but…

I thought i was the only one who felt that way about the green!

What i got from the article was...... Sugar is not the problem... so just sayinf i'm going to not eat sugar and expect weightloss won't work. Learngin and understanding how things truely play a roll in nutrition and being educated will help in the long run. Sugar is not the devil excess is the devil. end of story. and…

I like this article not just because i LOVE sugar. I can't have artificial sugars and when i started the whole eat better thing and was researching and reading everything i kept coming across sugar is bad and should be swapped for this or that fake sugar if you need a sweet fix. but that doesn't work for me. so i cam to my…

Whether you're in US or UK try bravissimo.com.... i live in the states and purchase all of my bras from them. they range from 30-50 buck but fit very well. I'm a 38JJ (UK) and they go up to L. i have three of the sports bras and they keep me in like they should. flat shipping rate of like 15 buck also. not a bad deal.

The different numbers come into play because of the TDEEs they both use. MFP could be 2200 and FB 2000. WHen you log an excercise like zumba at 300 cal for 7pm -8pm MFP adds that onto the 2200 but FB replaces the hour (83.3 Cals) with the 300 because yes you burned 300 exercising but you would have burned 83 sitting on you…

There are foods that when i eat for dinner i'm a 2-3 lbs heavier in the morning. NOt water weight volume wieght. Things that are heavy and take longer to digest make me gain over night. THose are usually Pasta and rice dishes.

Bravissimo.com bigger cup smaller band sizes as well. It's a UK company but the ship $15 standard to the startes and the Bras are cheaper than purchasing in the states. I'm a 36jj and their bras keep me intact and without pain.

so unless you're a certain inch size you can't look bulky? and becasue you're a woman if you drop body fat, your defined muscles can't look masculine? what does it matter if someone gained inches and bulked up? if you look bulky you look bulky. a person doesn't need to gain to look bulky if it's already there. there are…

oh i'm good. more amused than anything. oh and amased by all of the professional scientists on the boards here. but i guess the human body that has biological and chemical processes isnt allowed to defy physics (because the human body is a car engine and is only effected by mechanical processes). over simplifications just…

um.... who's defying science? people who take complex science and break it down to a 2 factor equation and call it the end all be all of "knowledge" are defying science. and being condescending about it to people in threads generally is just silly and again not helpful. i asked a question/ranted about my observations.…

Is it weird that when i see "the OP" i get all " hey don't talk about me like i'm not here :sad: " ? lol. and no i really don't think i could handle tattoos on foreheads.... too distracting.

well i didn't mean to imply that. i simply made a statement that "what works for some doesn't work for all" if someone wants to turn that into some hidden meaning that's great! but don't then try and say i said one thing when i didn't and for clarification. what works.... eating at x deficit and working out in x way for…

lol...... and which of those words is "calorie" or "deficit" ?

Please tell me where i said anything about calorie deficit not working? if 100 people ate the exact same things and performed the exact same exercises... nothing less and nothing more. their bodies would not repspond the same.... hence the difference. people are different, we behave differently, and our bodies react…

basic science may be the same energy in vs energy out. i get that however all of the many differing variables that go into energy number is what makes us different so to make my point simpler.... our journeys are different and unique to our individual selves. what works for some doesn't work for all. attempting to make…

Thanks for proving my point.

I'm in the US but i order mine from Bravissimo in the UK. i get all of my bras from there as they are reasonably priced and fit and i'm a few sizes larger than you.

I think it's because you didn't wear your fitbit when you exercised so it's for example projecting your end of day total at 1950 but MFP is saying 2315. There is no increase in activity for the fitbit to match with the HRM reading so it's bringing the MFP number down to meet it. if you're not going to wear the fitbit…

Or you could not have to manually do anything as FItbit calculates all of that for you ( it gives you your daily TDEE in real time). and MFP breaks out the macros in your food as entered.

depends on how you want to wear it. Flex is on your arm and is water proofish and the one clips to clothes. the one i believe has a display for how many steps and the flex just gives a 3 out 5 bars complete kinda reading for how many steps.

a TDEE or MFP calorie plan is based on general human calculations and assumptions of activity level. THe fitbit gives you an actual level of activity so if it says i burned 2500 cals today because i sat at my desk ad only got up to walk around only during lunch then i know i should eat 1500 cals for a 1000 cal deficit. all…
