are you sure you understand how mfp is designed? you are already given an appropriate calorie deficit to hit your weekly weight loss goal when you input your information. if you exercise and burn a significant amount of calories without eating them back, you are creating a larger deficit that will become unsustainable. do…

the program is designed for you to eat at least a portion your exercise calories back. so either eat the calories back and complete the day, or don't log the exercise and complete the day.

unless this meal is 3500 calories MORE than your TDEE, you will not physically gain weight. you will obviously have a spike in water weight because of the sodium in the chinese. you do not need to bust *kitten* in the gym to get rid of water weight. go back to your normal routine after your meal. any water weight will sort…

search the database until you find an item that has the correct nutritional information and the serving size option you prefer. or, create your entry own using the needed details.

yep.

I'm in!

These are the best places to get started. Good luck!

I'd love to make a go at this round! Was an Orange Crusher in the last challenge but had to drop due to my life exploding. I'm already/still a member of the group :)

So if you don't want to be starving and you think 1200 calories is too low AND you were losing weight with a higher activity setting, why not just eat more?

interesting. i was wondering about the fact that he didn't reduce my levo dose. i'm definitely not having any allergic reaction symptoms - no difficulty breathing, swelling, rashes, racing heart, etc. but now that i reread my list, it does sound like some hyper symptoms. i'll get in touch with my doctor asap.

Yes.

No. If you eat 1500 calories and burn 300 in the gym, your deficit is 300. You will have 1200 net calories. Your net calories should be the same as your goal calories. If your goal is 1500, you eat 1800 and burn 300. This gives you 1500 net.

I'm so in! Would love to join.

you can get body fortress on amazon for the same price or cheaper! i was turned on to it by a coworker and i refuse to set foot in walmart so i did some digging and i order it online now :)

Are you sure you don't have hyperthyroidism? People with low thyroid function tend to gain excess weight and have a hard time losing weight. If you have high thyroid function you tend to lose weight and have a hard time keeping weight on/gaining weight. You should see a doctor if you still have symptoms that aren't being…

the ads you see have nothing to do with MFP. they're generated by your browsing history and other internet usage statistics.

uh. ditch the trainer, learn correct form on the lifts, and work out the way you want to. smith machines are useless and a waste of time. 5x5 is a solid, solid plan that will get you results.

every piece of activewear i own is from old navy. that might sound weird, but it's super affordable, cute, and durable.

this is great advice. document every problem you have that is because of or related to your skin. tears, rashes, bruising or swelling, infections, etc. if you can build a case to argue to your health care team that the excess skin is causing you harm, there is a much better chance to have a removal surgery at least…

i make a blackened seasoning with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, thyme, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. pat it on to both sides of the fish and bake. i usually do a green veg and sometimes pasta or grits on the side. so good! the seasoning goes great on all kinds of fish, chicken, and pork too :)

eat whatever you want/can afford/have time to cook that fits within your calorie requirements. as long as you're not allergic or otherwise unable to eat a particular food, there is no 'right' or 'wrong' food.

well, MFP is designed specifically to answer the first question for you. without providing any information about yourself, no one can tell you what you need to be eating. enter your information into the goals section of the website, or app, and follow the suggestions. if they don't work after 6-8 weeks, reevaluate.

lentils! lentils are your friend! see also: beans of most any type. eggs, yogurt and other dairy. check the bread aisle next time you shop, there are lots of high protein breads that can give you a boost.

1oz of lunchmeat is basically pointless. you need several 4+ oz servings of meat a day if you want your protein to be anything significant. i eat 1-2 eggs, 150g chicken, 4+oz fish, yogurt, and high protein bread just about every day. you're either going to have to supplement with protein powder or re-assess your macros.…

two double cheese burgers, a small fry, a small onion ring, and a piece of hershey's chocolate pie from burger king. about half a box of cake mix. a full order of spinach artichoke dip with tortilla chips, a full order of penne alfredo with chicken, and half an order of chicken tenders with fries and ranch from applebees.…

1. find an entry in the database that corresponds with the ingredient you have in front of you. you can find entires for baked chicken, etc. i personally prefer to weigh raw because i think it's more accurate. 2. if you're using a recipe and you know the nutrition facts of the prepared dish, i'd just weigh out what you…

if it is a food with calories, it should be logged.

excellent! water resistance exercise is amazing for building cardiovascular strength and capacity. glad you found something that works for you!

i looooove their calculator. this and chipotle are like, my favorite places to eat because of the online builders. guac on a turkey burger sounds amazing. A+ post.

um.
