same issue here, not syncing exercises since Wednesday. Double counting steps in MFP on Monday... have disconnected and reconnected app a few times as that usually fixes it, but this time no luck and the occasional oa_auth error that would imply the fitbit server is being refused connection to the mfp server.

Had the same synching issue since yesterday, Disconnected and reconnected the Fitbit app from MFP twice and it started working again. Not the first time its happened and doubt it will be the last

As a rule of thumb, add up the calories and macros for everying that goes into the juicer, then knock off 4 KCal for each gram of the residue you dont consume to account for the lost fibre. The fat and protein tends to be negligable and the carbs are the total carbs minus carbs from fibre.

I had a similar exercise regime to you when I was in weight loss mode, swimming 6+ hours a week, walking a lot and the odd gym visit. I ate back about 50% of my calories most days and managed to hit my loss target for about 60% of the time. The other 40% was split between long periods of the scales not moving and weeks…

From the research I did into this, I came to the conclusion that too much protein can be a problem. The source of the protein can make a difference also, as animal proteins don't come with the added fibre that plant based proteins have. There is plenty of info out there, even if you avoid sites promoting fad diets and…

Ressurecting an old thread after the BBC Programme covering this topic bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-29629761 Cooking, cooling and then reheating pasta makes resistant starch 50% greater than just chilling cooked pasta in the first place.

The recipe I have uses cream of tartar, not sodium bicarbonate, but I don't think that will solve your saltiness. Maybe look for a different brand of soft cheese with a lower salt content? recipie from: http://yourlighterside.com/2014/06/friday-flashback/

I make my own Greek Yogurt and its a great source of easy to eat protein and I know exactly what goes into it.

Thanks for all the replies. I think a couple of strength sessions a week to replace some of the cardio is a good place to start and as I up the calories to maintenance levels I'll adjust the balance to something I can live with long term. I've been told to expect a 5 lbs bounce back as my body restocks its reserves of…

Try not to use volume measurements for solid foods either, use a decent digital kitchen scale. One persons cup of pasta could be quite different from another's, but a gramme is a gramme. Does your HRM show total Calories burned or additional exercise Calories only? Mine shows total Calories, so I have to knock off 100 / hr…

I bought a Polar FT7 HRM for this very reason and was quite surprised to find the gym equipment I use actually gave very similar readings to the monitor once you allow for the fact the HRM includes Calories you would have burned doing nothing as well as the extra calories burned by the exercise.

Are you saying the WHOLE day is 600 to 1200 Calories or each meal?

bought and FT7 a few weeks ago and like it. Will probably look at upgrading in a year as whilst it's good, it could be better.

I'm pretty sure the Polar FT7 shows Gross calories burned, the equipment in my gym shows Net Calories burned, so allowing for 100 Cal/Hour Base Metabolic rate needing to be deducted from the Polar reading, for me at least they match up pretty well.

How accurately are you able to measure the calories in your work food? Your plateau may simply be because you are underestimating your consumption by a couple of hundred calories.

I've never been a fan of lettuce, so I substite shredded raw red cabbage, rocket and watercress into my salads, theres so many options to pick and chose from, you are almost certain to find combinations you like.

That's pretty much the conclusion on the paleo diet when I looked into it. Quite a good summary on TED http://www.youtube.com/attribution_link?a=cHElVHHyqA6ljlazgbPO6Q&u=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DBMOjVYgYaG8%26feature%3Dshare

This one caused my American wife quite some embarrassment many years ago, just after she moved to the UK, as she yelled out to our 5 year old daughter to "Get your Fanny back over here right now!" across the school playground. Probably took me as long to stop laughing as it took her to lose the redness in her face after I…

Thanks for all the advice. I am exercising for fitness, when I started in the gym 4 weeks ago I could barely last 30 mins of moderate cardio without feeling like I was going to up chuck. Now I can do 90 minutes at the recommended heart rate without any real after effects apart from needing my lunch. I'm not trying to lose…
