You can see daily summaries of your food by going to: -"Food" tab -scroll down to bottom, then click on "View Full Report (Printable)" Note: This only provides a summary broken down by each day. It will not tally it up for the week for an overall total of weekly calories, weekly protein.... You still have to crunch those…

I use a heart rate monitor. Right now I'm trying to reduce body fat, so I don't eat them back. If I were in a maintain weight phase, I absolutely be balancing it out and eating back what was necessary.

it can take years to change your taste buds. If you're a chef, then it will most likely be a lifelong struggle for you, since you'll be cooking to satisfy the palate of others. I personally often find it difficult to eat out a lot, because I find that the food is too salty for me. It taste well seasoned to everyone else…

If you're trying to get or keep nice abs then sugar is something that you really have to watch. Most people have nice abs as their goal, so that may be why people talk so much about watching sugar intake.

MFP is probably using the Mifflin formula. Mifflin is the best formula to use if you do not know what your body fat is. If you do know what your body fat is, Katch-McArdle is the best formula to use.

Those are the abs that suck everything in like a girdle. The side planks/bridge works your obliques..you can rotate with it to pick up on both your internal…

Nope. If you were following the Insanity nutrition regimen that meant you started eating much better and getting in the right amount of fluids. Meaning, you weren't dehydrated so you actually fluid to sweat out like you're supposed to lol. It's amazing how our metabolism flips back on track when we fix our nutrition.

One really popular recipe page is Fitmencook.com...his photos are awesomely mouth watering lol. I also started a recipe page at Ohfitnessllc.com/gym-kitchen although it isn't as nearly as extensive at Fitmencook. Good luck! I don't know of any recipe posts on this site, because I only really use it for tracking

we need all the positive support we can get. It's rough out here lol add me!

Hi, I've been using myfitnesspal on at off personally for a few years now. I was using sparkpeople (am I allowed to say that?), but I think that myfitnesspal has better integration now and free! I just found out that I can use it with my Endomondo...yes!!! I'm still trying to get the hang of having more precise food…
