I am confused too. I am really determined to measure what I eat correctly. Sometimes it is very easy because the label is very specific...or its just a no-brainer...like fruit is easy as it is what it is so I just weigh it. Same with cereal ( I weigh out the cup portion). But meat (and veggies) is where I am most confused…

hhhmmmm...makes me rethink my logging up to now. I have lost almost 5lbs in 3 weeks BUT now I am thinking I have been eating too much because I was going mostly with COOKED measurements.

Some labels specify or give both cooked and uncooked portions but I have come across a lot that haven't.

I am truly thankful for all the advice and opinions. It can be confusing as there are many and not all agree. I actually do know the basics. Eat less, exercise more....and I know all bodies vary as to what works better...some can eat more carbs, some need more protein, some need to spread it out...I do know all of…

I am 5' 11" and 44 yrs old. I entered my current weight (244), my goal weight (167) and the numbers that came up was 1320 for 2lbs, 1570 for 1.5lbs and 1850 for 1lb per week. I checked other calculators on line to see if their calculations were within the same range and they were.

Interesting. I was wondering if I needed to try to focus on not only how much and what I was eating but also WHEN I was eating them.

CARBS! That's my biggest dilemma. I know cutting them will probably work (anyone I know who did that lost weight, quick). I just didn't want to have to cut out things I really like. I thought I was being good. I don't go overboard when I eat them and I ALWAYS have wheat or multigrain.

Thank you again everyone. It is a little frustrating because I feel (other than some processed items) that I am eating within my limit and that my measuring has been pretty accurate. I sometimes even log a higher serving amount if I am not 100% sure. Maybe I need to really focus on carbs and protein. Not sure what to set…

Everyone's suggestions have been wonderful. I truly appreciate it. Sadly, I always thought I knew a lot about healthy eating and exercise. I was a healthy weight, even underweight according to some people, most of my adult life. 7 yrs ago I went off birth control and even though my doctors say its not to blame, that's when…

I have been using a scale and scanning bar codes. I thought I was being very thorough. I don't eat anything past 7pm and I walk about 45 minutes 3 days a week.

I currently weigh 238 and I set my goal weight at 175. I did set it at 2lbs a week...guess I am eager. Maybe TOO eager? It didn't give me a time frame though (unless it did and I just didn't see it) but based on the math it would take 31 weeks (7 months). If I put in 1.5lbs a week, yes it does go higher...around 1450 I…
