Will be ready waiting for me when I get home from work :-) http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/01/crock-pot-3-bean-turkey-chili-3125-pts.html

It probably calculated what you should eat to maintain and not lose weight... I actually just looked it up, and it is to maintain. So if you want to lose, you need to eat far less.

Why do you really not want to eat your exercise cals?

I have that cook book and love it!!! There was a recipe for chicken roll ups that had asparagus and tomato that were really good, and another that was chicken with avocado and pepper sauce that was pretty good as well. Enjoy it!

What you could do is change your "lifestyle" from active to sedentary and see how much that changes your daily goal. That would tell you how much extra MFP is allotting you for standing all day.

If you don't eat any calories (net--meaning after exercise), you will starve to death. You need something to fuel your everyday activity, because you are not counting that as exercise obviously. You burn calories while doing everything, so you need to eat to make up for that. Even when asleep you are using energy (just…

Well, after putting all your information (age, gender, height, weight, activity level), MFP determines how many calories you would burn on a day you did nothing out of the ordinary (exercise). You then tell them what your weight loss goal is (how much per week), and they then subtract the correct amount from the total they…

Yep! Just sign in with the same username.

It takes into account age, gender, and weight. So if two people weigh the same, but one is male and the other female, he, unfortunately for us ladies, will burn more.

Greek yogurt is not too bad. Also fresh fruits and vegetables obviously. Maybe grill your own chicken instead of buying slices?

Some have sodium, so if you watch that, it would be good to add them.

If you are eating less than 1200 calories a day, you are physically starving yourself, and that is anorexia...

I also noticed that you are 15, and I am not going to tell you not to lose weight, but I lost weight when I "matured" at about 14/15 and am now completely flat chested... If you are not fully developed yet, you may want to hold off on the diet or you may regret it later :-/ Do what you want, but not being able to fill out…

You exercise so you get more calories, not so you can make a greater deficit...

It means you can eat a lot more. It means you should eat at least 1004 more calories, but you would still be under your goal for the day by 270

Mix greek yogurt and regular yogurt ( I use the dannon greek yogurt plain (80 calories) and dannon light and fit (80 calories) ) Delicious and very filling and LOTS of protein :-)

Peanut butter on celery? Or Hummus on veggies?

Something that you consider a success that is not marked by a number on the scale. Like clothes fitting better, or compliments from people etc.

light and fit yogurt. They have over 20 flavors, so you are sure to find some you like.

This is a really good recipe using it. I even had some left over that I ate with out putting it in a pepper and it was equally as delicious. http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipes/10896?utm_source=GlutenFree&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=GlutenFree

Oh. my. gosh. These are soooooooooooo delicious. http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipes/10896?utm_source=GlutenFree&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=GlutenFree

I wear shoes so I have better ankle support...

I would suggest adding nuts, beans, more cheese (maybe cottage cheese), or some protein powder to one of your shakes so that you get more protein.

Do it early in the morning to start out. At least where I live, it is like a ghost town until about 7am.

Do you really skip dinner most days? I think you are definitely not eating enough, even someone that sits at a desk all day should still eat at least 1200 calories.

Non-Scale Victory

I say add you exercise and it will automatically give you more calories. Eat those, but don't add any extra yourself.
