YouTube hype to get clicks seems like a good bet,

This discussion seems more appropriate to the debate section. Maybe you could flag your original post and ask the moderators to move it.

For the sunflower seeds, the posters above seemed to be suggesting that the entry you're using is inaccurate. Good logging requires both accurate measurement (usually weighing) of the amount you're eating and using an accurate database entry.

Yes, if your calorie goal is 20% less than the number you got from a TDEE calculator, then you should not eat back exercise calories, assuming your actual exercise is within the parameters you told the TDEE calculator. If you suddenly add training for a triathlon on top of whatever you told the TDEE calculator, you're…

^^Seconding Ann on the weighing for efficiency, accuracy, and no dirty measuring cups and spoons. You can also put the empty bowl you're going to put the yogurt in on the scale, tare it, and spoon your yogurt into the bowl to get the weight of the yogurt you're eating. I usually use the method Ann describes for…

Hello, Larry!

Just got back from the grocery store with one of those (except vanilla), among other things, and there wasn't quite as much space in the freezer as I had thought. I spent a little time considering how much ice cream I would have to eat to fit the remainder into a smaller container that would save enough space to make…

I'm willing to try it when it becomes commercially available, but meat is not generally my first choice of protein. Yes, sometimes meat is what I want, but more often I'd rather have dairy, eggs, or plants that resemble plants (e.g., beans or lentils), not plants that have been separated into components and combined with…

... said the dog in the NewYorker cartoon.

I'm an omnivore but, from the choices you gave me, I voted for yogurt. At the end of the day, if I feel shy on protein, I can have a bowl of plain, usually greek, yogurt with fruit if I want something sweet or a bowl of plain, usually greek yogurt with powdered cheese if I want something salty/savory, or a bowl of oats and…

It will generally stop fat burning until your body uses up the alcohol calories, as your body doesn't have a mechanism to store it, so it will preferentially rely on the alcohol. In the long run, the effect on fat storage is determined by calories consumed and expended.

No, I don't.

How many croissants did you eat? I wonder, if one or two croissants set you off, whether your regular diet is awfully low in fat -- unhealthily low, I mean. Obviously, people's tolerances are different, and maybe you've been focusing on plant fats and the croissants are made with butter, but it's just a thought -- your…

You may want to check your local ordinances before you rip things out. In my area, you can't sell something as a residence if it doesn't have an oven. Of course, you could always redo the kitchen when/if you're ready to sell.

It is possible to track fiber in the app, although it looks like you have to go to the website to adjust your settings of which nutrients show up in your diary. Doing so will affect your diary in the app.

There is no muscle gain setting. It's either lose weight, maintain, or gain weight.

It says outright no changes in hunger/satiety, so I don't see how we can interpret that as participants feeling less hungry.

In a calorie deficit, a person isn't going to gain muscle fast enough to mask fat loss.

I think that's typical practice in Britain (weight in stones, height in feet and inches).

As the caveman said after the lightning strike.

A1C is a measure that looks at average levels back over 3 months, so it's no surprise it might take a while for the old info encoded in your blood markers to stop influencing your numbers.

If you're eating one-eighth of the amount covered by the meal you created, just log 0.125 servings.

Another old enough to be your Internet auntie here. I agree with the points above about an unrealistic goal that would likely be counterproductive in terms of muscle loss if you achieved it. Just want to focus on your mention of people making jokes about your weight after a weigh-in. If this is some sort of supposed…

No. You only need to get about 45% to get your 8 mg a day.

Have you tried toggling from all meals to the specific meal you're logging, or vice versa?

yogurt, cottage cheese, dairy milk or soy milk, legumes, shrimp, lean pork, lean beef, smaller boosts from grains, veggies, nuts, and seeds.

Yes, but OP asked about intolerances, not allergies. I'm no expert on either, but I think the suggestion up thread to eliminate them and see if the problem clears up, then reintroduce to see if the problem recurs, followed by a trip to a gastroenterologist seems sensible. OP, are dairy and eggs your main sources of fat? If…

Do you eat dairy or eggs? If so, eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese and milk are decent sources of protein. Good plant sources include legumes (beans, lentils, peas) and certain grains (e.g., quinoa), but just about all plants, even fruits, have some protein. Have you tried logging to see where you stand with your current diet?

Pretty much everything. If it's just a little lettuce, tomato, and onion on a burger or sandwich, I probably won't bother. If I'm grazing on some crudite or a bit of grilled asparagus or zucchini at a buffet, I'll probably log something, but I may just pick one of the veg and double my estimate for that one.

Just undo whatever you did to link whatever step counter you're using to MFP.
