I understand that's their intent, but I don't think their calorie estimates are anywhere near accurate enough to do that. Those estimates are probably +/- 50%. And that's born out by constant discussions of people saying "MFP says X calories but my other website says Y" and X and Y are miles apart. Without fully…

Let's put it this way: Just because this website removes X calories from your intake due to exercise you log, doesn't mean you should eat X calories extra on that day. I try to stick to my calorie budget, even when I take long bicycle rides. I give myself a little reward (either a beer or some chocolate milk) and maybe go…

Are you logging your food? Just knowing where you stand can give you the awareness to avoid stuff you shouldn't eat. Within a week of starting to log stuff, I cut out pretty much all my evening snacks... unless I cut some calories somewhere else during the day.

Where do these comments even show up? Under the Food Diary? The Home page? Maybe people are leaving me comments and I don't even know it.

Not me. I don't give a damn what the rest of you think. And I don't worry about what other people are doing. If it's working for them, great; if not, some random internet commenter isn't going to motivate them. If I have a specific tip I can offer, I do that sometimes, if you don't follow it, no biggie. Everyone is trying…

Cheese is more versatile. I'd keep cheese.

I'm losing at about the same rate. In my case, I'm riding the bicycle quite a bit and not replacing the calories, so I know what's going on, and I kind of expect that to slow down as the weather gets worse this winter. I did South Beach Diet several years ago and lost 70 pounds in 6 months; mostly about 2-3 lb. per week. I…

I lost 70 lb. 8 years ago on South Beach Diet. I know that "feeling funny" feeling; kind of light-headed, but not really. I don't know that it was dehydration, but drinking water seemed to help.

His Build-A-Bear collection is in a shooting war with his My Little Pony collection.

I just use the MyFitnessPal calorie count. So if I rode 13 mph for 90 minutes, I would search for cycling in the MFP database, then select the option that says 12-14 mph and put in 90 minutes. In my case, I tend to prefer the lower calorie total. There's no sense in expending 1000 calories in exercise, then eating another…

...and I really like beer. So I make sure that once in a while I save some calories out of my daily budget and have a beer. Learn how to prioritize; if it means you have to skimp a little on breakfast so you can have cheese later, do it.

Sees the dogs as a metaphysical representation of the human condition in suburban America.

It could also be a variation in your metabolism relative to other people, or maybe you overestimate the amount of calories you consume. These numbers are all just kind of made up based on best estimates, but there's a significant variation among people.

What kind of exercise/activities are you doing? Maybe you're burning more than you realize.

Is afraid of the dark and/or the color blue.

Thanks!

She's been a bicycle commuter for about 25 years. She's also a people person- the more contact she can have with "normal folks", the more she likes it. So the Rolling Town Halls are right up her alley. She also has regular town hall meetings in coffee shops around the city.

I think what it comes down to is that the calorie estimates attributed to exercise are just that: Estimates. There's probably a pretty wide variance in terms of efficiency from one person to the next. So I might lift a 50-poiund weight to a height of 4 feet to accomplish 200 foot-pounds of work (equals 0.065 kilocalories).…

Interesting.
