For me it's not having to worry about what I choose just picking what I feel like i.e. a normal entrée . My usual day gives me about 250 kcal for breakfast, 550 kcal for lunch and 350 kcal for dinner with a little bit left for a snack. Where we usually eat out locally has mains that range from 800-1,200 kcal so for me…

Depends what you mean by cheat day. I think it's harder to plan in 'treats' to your meal plan if you have a lower weight so small deficit. I only have 1220 calories to work with. I don't have good/bad foods but if I want a takeout or a nice meal out it generally wouldn't fit into my calories unless I skip an entire meal…

Is it possible your husband is actually insecure himself about weight and therefore would prefer you heavier?

How did you work that out? It seems high. I get 260 for Running 40 mins with most of it being in the cardio HR zone and the rest in the peak HR zone. For cleaning on a HR monitor I usually get less than 50 extra calories burnt.

I've got a ChargeHR and find it's adjustments match what I used to get using a chest strap and the estimates my GPS monitor gives me (when running). Stairs are calculated based on the altimeter so if your journey to work involves going up hill it will count it. Steps will count in the car because you are moving your arm.…

Huge bummer. I bought my Fitbit so I could get the MFP adjustment.

Usually 100-200 calories below but it acts as a buffer in case my measurements are wrong. Occasionally over if I've had to eat out.

Scales are not for bodybuilders - who will be more focused on the macros. You need a food scale and you need to weigh everything to work out the true calories. For example I was logging my morning cereal as a portion (30g) before I had scales. When I decided to weigh it I was actually eating 70g of cereal (which was a lot…

Start weight 116 pounds Goal weight 108 pounds as this was what I was steady at for a long time (when I didn't have a muffin top).

Thanks guys.

I'm 5ft 3. 50.4 kg, female and under 30. I don't have a lot to loose - probably about a kilo to get down to where I'm comfortable.

When I eat whatever I want and don't exercise on purpose (just normal walking around) I tend to hover around 52 kg. If I exercise and try to limit junk I go down to 49-50 kg. I find it very hard to loose any weight but my focus is to be healthy so it's not too much of a problem.

Thanks. 0.5 lb is 0.2 kg which is what MFP is set to lose a week. MFP gives me 1,440 kcal and the website posted here gives 1510 kcal so pretty similar.
