Chobani 0% Greek Yogurt. Load with fresh berries in addition to the flavors. 140 cals plus berries. Trader Joes Lime Floes - Popsickle that is just 60 calories and they taste like slightly sweetened fresh limes. Awesome. Popchips BBQ when I need something salty.

We Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Nutella! Last week I made Banana Cookie Whoopie Pies with Nutella Cream Cheese filling. Luckily I sent most of them to our Niece at school for finals week study materials. It is a stable in our house and we probably go through 3-4 containers a month. Just wait until you start baking with…

I have never had my FitBit register something like a car ride. What version do you have maybe newer versions (or updated firmware) are configured better.

My wife and I have and love our FitBit Ones. We use it for all day to day calorie measurements. Along with that we record our workouts with MFP. Then we use the weekly calorie expenditure and divide by 7 for our TDEE. We then eat to the TDEE-20%. We use MFP for food tracking and only pay attention to the total we eat and…

That sure sounds boring

Is MFP estimate low or correct? Confused. It does seem low to me. In my typical weight training session which takes 30 minutes. I do machines no free weights. I go from machine to machine rather rapidly. Between sets I usually wait about 5-10 seconds. In the 30 minutes I end up doing over 500 reps of various machines and…

My main workout activities our Eliptical for Cardio and weight training. So say I get on the Eliptical from 6PM until 7PM I go into MFP and record the Eliptical starting at 6PM for 60 minutes and FitBit will get updated with that information. I do not put in walking or stairs into MFP I let FitBit simply handle that. I…

The way I understand BMR/TDEE/TDEG is that when you do the calculations you make an honest assessment of how many hours per week you workout/do something very active. When you do that the TDEE already has your 3000 calories from cardio. Not sure which calculator you used, but if you didnt include your workouts in it you…

My Family loves Ezekial Bread. We get http://www.foodforlife.com/ from Trader Joes. We have 3 boys (17, 15, and 11) and the Ezekial bread has been the easiest high nutrition bread to get them to eat. Cant say that I have ever tried it untoasted. My snack when I get home is one slice toasted with some peanut butter.

First week of TEE/BMR done. Was difficult sometimes eating as much as the calculations say I should. Not because I couldnt, I just didnt want to eat for eatings sake. Weekend of course was frustrating. Not because of poor eating. As it seems most weekends our activity increases (FitBit and MFP said I burned 4255 calories…

To me the whole point is to get an accurate TDEE you need to put in an accurate portrayal of how active/workout that you will actually do and monitor that (FitBit really helps) and if you for whatever reason increase or decrease your activity recalculate your TDEE and eat to the TDEE-20%.

Switching to TDEE/BMR today. I have had success, but have before seen plateauing right where I am at and have been at for a few weeks. So been seeing more and more discussion about TDEE/BMR. So me at start of this. Gender: Male Age: 46 Weight: 226 Goal: 190 Height: 6'1" BMR: 2085 (Scooby Calculator) TDEE: 3598 (Work out…

Ignore. Noticed another thread asking the same thing...Sorry

So in an effort to cut plateaus and do even better I am thinking about changing to the TDEE & BMR method. We have simply set a top calorie consumption goal each day and for the most part hit that. Mine is basically 1500 and my wife is 1200. I have dropped about 85 pounds over the last 3+ years doing this off and on while…

Would love to see guidelines on what an intense weight lifting workout looks like that also does cardio work. I use weight machines as part of my workout a 2-3 times per week. Generally about 30 minutes on 10 machines with a total of about 500 reps. I move from machine to machine quickly (not running), and 5-10 seconds…

For me the frustrating part is that I stay under calorie wise, but like clockwork Monday will be up. On the weekend I burn more and I eat more. And my wife are really enjoying the choice of school my son made. Except for all the Packers fans. How do you deal with that? :)

Couple questions. I currently track burn with a combination of my FitBit for general every day life and MFP for working out. If I spend 60 minutes on an Elliptical I record it in MFP and that gets transferred to my FitBit. I track my calories on MFP and pretty religious about it. So if for my height information I find says…

First off you can cook. Don't make it more complicated than it is. You need a few good supplies and follow simple recipes at 1st. Keep to basics. For Breakfast. Oatmeal is easy. Instant is just hot water. Even not instant is 1/2 cup with 1 cup of water and 2 minutes in the microwave. Top with a little brown sugar or maple…

Include some Greek Yogurt in your diet. The added Protein is filling. Also go to work with lots of healthy snacks. Every day I take a mix of the following: Strawberries (6 medium size are only 25 calories), Celery Sticks, Carrot Sticks, Cucumber and 2 clementines (1 for snack about an hour before lunch to push off lunch…

Couple of questions. I see the picture and the % for women. What about men? When do you graduate yourself in the Activity level. I usually put my self in the sedentary level for day to day, but I work out at least 1 hour 3-5 days per week. So I have based calories on the Moderately active category. Yet since oh say…

Some of it some of the time. It makes me feel wrong to get near the end of the day and feel the need to consume simply to consume. If I am not hungry and have had a good nutritious, but active day, it feels wrong to consume for consumption sake. Makes me think that when I am all done with wanting to exercise and loose…

Would also be curious about the "muscle confusion" theory. It just doesn't seem right to me that using the same amount of energy in 2 different workouts. 1 that you do all the time and 1 that is just as strenuous, but different, would really matter. Energy needs to come from somewhere. It cant just be created from thin…
