  • (not an expert) What I notice with those numbers is that the carbs are very low. You'd probably have trouble hitting that calorie count with so few carbs, if you are trying to keep to the carb limit. I think that's the main area these numbers differ from MFP. My IIFYM gave me less than half the # of carbs MFP is allowing…

  • I'm starting back on MFP after about a year off. I was a full-time writer (mainly fiction) and decided to go back to school full-time to get a paralegal certificate. The school is 50 miles from home, and I live in the SF Bay Area, so I was spending 2-3 hrs a day in traffic. Needless to say, with full-time school, all the…

  • I used to love those creamers too, till I realized it's mostly chemicals. Now I add a non-dairy milk like coconut milk or cashew milk (soy milk isn't creamy enough to feel satisfying). I use a little bit of raw sugar or agave nectar. I think it's less important to cut out sugar than to cut out the fake stuff in those…

  • I am going to try juicing to get more greens into my diet. I'll probably replace one meal with a veggie juice. I don't think I would do the 10-day thing and not eat at all because there's not enough protein.

  • I know this is an older post, but I've got some questions.... I've only had my FitBit a few days and everything I log here syncs up over there. Will my FitBit exercise show up here on MFP? It seems to work best to log food here since it goes over to FitBit really quickly. MFP also gives me more calories to eat....

  • I am really new here, and this is scary to admit, but I'm 5'3", 209 lbs and wear 18 in pants.. I've always had a big rear.... if only I could put it into my bust. Tops are XL. One reason I finally joined is because I am tired of hating to go shopping and not having many choices, or looking awful in the few things that fit.

  • I love watermelon and will try anything even remotely watermelon-flavored. I even went out of my way to Target to buy these. I was very disappointed. They did taste like gum, and not even the fake-watermelon taste. I actually peeled the filling off the cookies and just ate the plain white Oreos. That's saying a lot for a…
