don't forget you can ask for a short size drink too. it's not usually advertised but it's smaller than tall and half the calories of a grande version of same drink. oh it's cheaper too ;) i hit up skinny caramel macchiato, skinny flavoured lattes And soy mistos with Splenda.

Hi mokey41 yes I have them synced with mfp at sedentary as you said-however I wasn't sure if the 600-700 extra I was earning in the day by taking around 13k steps total inc 45-60 mins jogging on the treadmill was accurate and if I could or should eat those back. I have adjusted my activity level to lightly active and mfp…

Hi harleygroomer, the 600-700 extra was from doing around 13000 steps total inc 45-60 mins on the treadmill jogging at 5-5.5mph on slight incline not just a walk of 45-60 mins. I've set my activity level now to lightly active and mfp seems to have adjusted extra cals earned to 450-500. You sound like you've a lot of good…

Thanks for sharing all your experiences and guidance so far ! Please keep them coming ! I think so far I've decided from whaf people have said to set my mfp activity level to lightly active and then know I can eat back some, maybe up to 75% but probably not all, of the extra cals burned without too much worry of…

I have it paired up in a bid to neither under nor over eat but without knowing the accuracy or what settings to use to optimise performance I feel a bit in the dark!

Ok update! I just changed my fitness level to lightly active and the extra exercise cals earned has gone from 680 to 500!

Oh that's interesting. So it could be beneficial to up my activity level on mfp? Would lightly active be appropriate for someone who is often sedentary but exercises for about 45 mins a day?

Just to clarify I jog on the treadmill at 5-5.5 mph rather than just walking

Hmmm thanks k_diddly that's a bit worrying!

Haha! It's just frustrating me not knowing if it's accurate enough that I can, or even if I should, eat back extra cals earned!
