The very marginal additional calorie burn is hardly worth the risk of injury.

Or the ones many people eat willingly and intentionally. I've had cricket tacos. They were fine. The crickets themselves were fairly mild tasting.

If there really were such a thing as a soup that could detoxify you, and it was a vegetarian soup, why would you think it would still detoxify you after you alter the recipe and add turkey? Either you believe in the original magical detoxifying formula and the authority of its creator, or you don't.

Where does it "say" you're "0% in losing weight"? Is that based on a weigh-in or some assessment of the food you're logging? And, yes, as others say, you need to be more patient.

When i first started on MFP, after getting some scary numbers at a health screening, I just made a point of getting off the subway one stop early in the morning and walking to the farthest one I had time for in the evening. Then I added longish "destination" walks on the weekend -- to the library, a park, or a restaurant…

My guess was you were recommending . . . shall we say romantic activity ... as exercise.

If you don't have one, get a food scale. It's the easiest and most accurate way to log food at home. Focus on the big picture. Don't worry that one day over your goals will "ruin your progress." Just go back to plan the next day.

It's 90% lean by weight. I don't understand this hypothetical person looking at a label that lists the grams of fat and, instead of reading the information staring them in the face, opting to look at the calories and do math based on a claim of X% lean.

Also, even where the food is in contact with the fat, when you're done cooking, there will still generally be a film of fat on the pan. So even where there is contact, the food is not picking up all the fat. I'm no apologists for oil spray cans. To me, they seem harder to clean than if I oil the pan the old-fashioned way,…

Yup. Just wanted to get the point in for lurkers.

You can still suffer nutritional deficiencies even if you have enough stored energy.

Did you leave out a "don't" somewhere, or are you really recommending that people suffering from alcohol addiction should drink liquor?

I would think drinking sufficient alcohol to fuel your body for 36 hours would kill most people.

Which is what I said in the first post you responded to, so I don't know why you're quoting me as though you're correcting me.

I don't see that info listed in your profile, at least not in the app. You used to be able to ask MFP to restore it. I did that once many years ago, before I had a cellphone and did all my logging on my laptop, because I flew across country and spent the day sightseeing and didn't get on my laptop until after midnight in…

Only if it results in an overall calorie deficit. Proviso: in this thread when people speak of burning fat, we all seem to be talking about stored fat.

Yes, but if you ate pretzels or peanuts or nachos or sliders or whatever constitutes bar food in your neighborhood with all the alcohol, your body is going to preferentially rely on the alcohol for energy as opposed to carbs, fat, and protein you consumed at the same time.

If the subscription fee is being charged to a credit card and you live in the U.S. (and presumably other countries that have better consumer protections than the U.S.), call your credit card company and tell them you want to dispute the charge because you didn't subscribe and have been unsuccessful in reaching the merchant.

Presumably it's not your money. If people with a business plan think this is a good way to invest their money, what business is it of yours?

Eat a small calorie surplus with plenty of protein and take up a progressive resistance program (lifting weights or a body weight regime).

Add fats. Cook your protein and veg in fats, or top with olive oil or butter. Add olive oil to your salad. Mayo or avocado on your sandwiches.

I don't know what you mean by a "false low" if you don't mean the scale is inaccurate. You weigh different amounts different days. That doesn't make some of the measurements false. Even you had an intestinal illness that caused you to drop a lot of water weight, it still would your actual, true weight at the time. Then you…

Another workaround would be to add a new category to the section where you log things like waist and thigh measurements -- you can add new measurement categories yourself on the website (I don't know if there's a way to do this on the app). You would still have to manually add the number of fruit & veg servings every day,…

Unless you're questioning the accuracy of your scales, the 266.8 weigh-in was just as true as the more recent 170 ish weigh-ins. Weight fluctuates. Any single weigh-in is just a snapshot in time.

You think someone improved their health by going from the low end of the healthy weight range for their height to significantly underweight? OP, if your chiropractor raised concerns about your weight gain when you were 136 pounds, I'd suggest that they stick to the area they have training in.

There is pretty much nothing easier to eat than bananas. Not having time or energy to start a meal is not the reason you're not eating bananas. I'm guessing it's that you don't like bananas as much as what you eat instead. What are you scarfing down that is easier and quicker than scarfing down an apple that's already on…

Whoops - I was pointing out an apparent misquote of another poster by the OP, but it looks like he corrected it himself further down, and was attributing his own comments to someone else. So, never mind.

I'm not saying I'm going to do it. I suggested you, as the OP, do it, which is a common practice in these forums when a thread is started in a section it doesn't align well with or when someone mistakenly creates multiple identical OPs. Your original question, which seeks views on where a particular piece of advice comes…

I don't know what you're doing either. I think anybody is going to need some kind of hint to offer you any help. You don't know what you're doing about .... setting a calorie goal? Logging your food? Finding a website that aligns with your interest in Bronze Age statuary?
