  • @Robin Thanks!! :) Appreciate you looking at my diary. Yes, I was using the generic amounts - I presumed they'd be accurate enough, since I'm not worried about hitting the mark exactly. As long as I'm +-100 or so from the target I'll presume I'm at least not putting on weight. But I'll start being more diligent and adding…
  • OK, I see a problem with the pizza. I selected one PIECE rather than one "container". This was confusing as I would think of a "slice" as being the relevant word for a "piece". Changed it and the number of calories zoomed up to a ridiculous amount - yay! lol - so it's making more sense now. I just have to make sure I use…
  • I also found the link to be helpful. But I still think the daily calories estimate for me is off. There must be some discrepancies in the number of calories for what I'm putting into it (and I do finish everything on my plate), or over estimate of how many calories I'm burning in my exercise periods (and I am doing a…
  • @Marber I've been eating full pizzas followed by chocolate desserts, french fries, fried breakfast etc. logging everything including sides of ketchup and any juice. When I logged some exercise one day, after eating like a pig, at the end of the day when everything was logged it told me I was 700 calories off my target!…
  • @robin Thanks for trying to bring some sense to this! But I can confirm that all my details are correct. I weighed myself, checked my height, and am definitely male according to my profile and in real life! :) I also have it set to 1lb per week. I'm really not in a crazy rush to look like a model - but I do want to make…
  • @rosnnj Yes, I'm thinking of just reducing it 200 or so. The default suggestion just won't lead to any fat loss. @idahogirl71 Hold on, how is your base 1900, but you are eating 900-1200 per day? I'm quite confused! My data from yesterday: Goal: 1700. Food: 2268 Exercise: -918 Net: 1355 In this case I did more exercise than…
  • Thanks for the reply NightOwl! :) I generally distribute my eating over 4 meals, with a big lunch at midday and a reasonably sized breakfast. I like my big breakfast and thought that it would be suggested that I'd reduce my lunch, evening meal and snack total calories, or increase the amount of time and types of exercise.…
  • Good for you... but that doesn't even remotely answer my question :P
