Yes! :(

I use the app on my iPhone - go into add food, select meal and then in the top right of the screen there's a little barcode symbol - press that and then hold over the barcode on the packet and it almost instantly recognises it - you then put in the quantity etc. Occasionally it doesn't recognise the food, but the MFP…

Thanks sijomial - the TDEE calculator I used seemed to separate the exercise so I just used another one. My daily TDEE came up as 2315 if I do 5 moderate exercise sessions a week. Take off 20% makes it 1852 - so should I put 1850 as my daily goal and not add exercise calories (as long as I make sure I do exercise)?

So - can people clarify for me. I think I've just worked out on that calculator that my TDEE - 20% is 1600 cals per day (which is what I've been working on on MFP). Should I just be trying to be at that amount of calories each day to lose weight or do I need to try to be in the green by a couple of hundred? I exercise for…

Is that Protein/carbs/fat??

Thank you

Thanks guys - I won't worry quite so much but want to have good protein levels for satisfaction and repair

Thanks 50extra - I definitely need to just get a new chest strap then as like you I get up into the 180s and want to track recovery etc and work in my training zone and can see I would get really fed up with a Fitbit not being accurate

Now I'm stuck as can't remember how to add you as friends??? ...

I cannot imagine having difficulty reaching my goal!! :smile:

Where would we be without diary stalking?! Add me if you like :smile:

Oxfordshire :smile:

Thanks Guys - food for thought ..,

I've just changed my diary to be viewable to friends - help!!!

Hi I'm from Oxfordshire - I've been fiddling around with this on and off for a year - when I do it it works, but it's so easy for me to think "Oh I've had something bad so I may as well not carry on filling in the diary today". I notice that Elisa has her diary viewable to others - I'm not sure I'm brave enough for that!…

What is a TDEE??!! (sorry peeps, new to this!)

My first LOL of the day - thanks!
