Is there a medical reason you cannot have sugary foods like banana's? To be honest, if your tracking sodium and sugar but have no medical reason to, I would stop tracking them and track other things like fiber and potassium since you medically need to track potassium. Banana's may be a sugary food but unless you are…

It really doesn't matter when you eat, as long as you are under your calories. Generally people find when they eat breakfast it makes them hungrier later or something like that. However, looking at your diary, it says your calorie allowance is 1200. Generally, based off other people's forum post, its not a good idea to…

Premium Bacon Ranch Salad with Grilled Chicken is 230 calories not including the dressing. They do not list what just the bacon they put on the salad's is, so you will probably just have to go with that number than add your dressing. The Ranch dressing is 170 calories per 2 fl oz.…

I have an ft7 and I love it. :) Would definitely recommend polar, which watch you want to get kinda depends on your needs. FT4 and FT7 are almost identical but ft7 can sync with something given on polar website, however I do not use this. It also tells you different "zones" your in, though it only has two while most…

I weigh myself at the same time and day every week, just because I know water weight makes day to day weight weird. I tend to overthink things and I don't want to overthink water weight lol.

I have a ft7 and I don't even pay attention to the zones, I just pay attention to what my heart rate is atm and whether or not I'm pushing myself too hard, or not hard enough. I"m nearly always in the "fitness" zone. However, the zones it is giving you are correct according to most websites. One thing you gotta remember is…

Many many many entries are incorrect, and many more are correct but have incomplete information. Either compare the label and if its right, confirm it so other people can see that it is correct, if its not, say it is not correct. I tend to look for entries that have confirmations, but the first time i use the entry I check…

Yeah I was surprised by the difference. I have had my scale about a week now. However, I love it because I never realized how much easier it was to weigh vs. measure. Seriously, the tare button is my best friend, I don't have to dirty up a million measuring cups, I can use one bowl, I always know exactly how much I'm…

If you are feeling that thirsty all the time, I would see a doctor, could be a health condition such as diabetes. However will it hurt your wight loss, no. There are some studies, though I take them with a grain of salt, that say if you have too much liquid it can make you potassium deficient. However, I'm sure eating a…

I'm not sure what to say other than if your sick and you can't keep track of your food, don't worry about it and focus on getting better. When you feel up to it start keeping track again. No need to force exercise if your body needs rest. There is no reason to stress about this.

I make a green smoothie very often. I add my favored fruit, yogurt, water, a tiny bit of coconut oil and a little bit of greens. Baby Spinach is so easy to hide, just start out with a little and eventually you can incorporate more as you get used to the taste. Kale, I still have not mastered hiding kale. Its just sooooooo…

It REALLY is just for me, I saw my health deteriorating and I realized I didn't want to live out the rest of my life unhealthy. Don't get me wrong, I do think I'll feel better about my appearance in the process, but even then I'll feel better for me, and not for Joe and Jane Schmo who have poor ideological view on beauty.…

It doesn't matter what time you eat for weight loss terms. If you have GERD (acid reflux), its not a good idea to eat right before you go to bed because the acids can get into your esophagus as you lay down after eating. Thats the only real reason I can think of though not to eat late.

I don't bother to press it, if i want to eat something and i see I have calories left, I eat it. If I see that I don't have any calories left, I don't eat anymore.

When you go to add your food in for the day, you will see different tabs, the last tab is recipes.

Yes it is normal. It doesn't really matter when you eat your calories, just as long as you don't go over your goal net calories per day.

This. That and I never realized until I joined myfitnesspal and purchased a cheap scale how stupid easy it is to keep track of your food. Plus now that I have a hrm, its easy to keep track of my calories burned. The right tools make this entire journey really simple. Simple is what keeps me going.

Daily, yes. Weekly, no. Weekly deficit is more important to me than daily because some days I will go out and enjoy myself, while other days I have some calories left over.

When I was growing up I was an openly bi person in a school with no other lgbt individuals, that was stuck in the last century. So I've been called every name under the sun. In high school it got to me really bad, but as soon as I got into college I grew a "I don't give a f*** what strangers think of me" bone. I'm lucky…

I have an a knee that I can't do many exercises in because of two accidents it was damaged in. I took up rebounding on a high quality mini trampoline and I"m finding its helping me tremendously.

Fushigi, I'm probably gonna do the same thing. I'm just gonan quick log a 1000 calories to account for dinner and drinks (I typically drink coca-cola when I'm out to dinner). I really don't go out to eat often enough to worry about it. editorgrrl I measure and weigh all the food I consume, but I have no possible way to…

Also Looking for friends, feel free to add me. :)

Your body gives you a good indication of whether or not you get enough food energy in a day. Have you tried just going for whatever net calories myfitnesspal gives you at 2 pounds a week, or 1 pound a week? We don't know all of your information so we can't give you an accurate assessment (age, height) of what you need to…

I eat it what I want, and I log it. I'm sure that was not the answer you were looking for but it is true. I have no qualms with going over during that time frame. I know what my body burns naturally each day based on tdee calculations and I do NOT go above that simply because I do not want to gain. However, if I go over my…

I do eat more on the weekends as well. I'm just starting out on mfp but I plan to leave myself a little bit of calories each day so that it will even all out by the end of the week. To me the weekly deficit is more important than the daily.

Weight Watchers helps you learn what foods are better for you, because junk food tends to be a lot of points. However, you can lose weight just fine by just logging calories, but you must log them properly (measure / weigh). On your food log, it states at the bottom everyday " *You've earned xxx extra calories from…

You would be considered underweight at that weight. As far as to why you have stomach weight, if your a recovering anorexic, but your still not getting the nutrition you need. Oftentimes protein deficiency can lead to bloated stomach, because the body no longer knows how to process fluids properly. This is why allot of…

Its important in my opinion to weigh yourself at roughly the same time every time you do a weigh in. For me, It is Friday morning before breakfast. The thing I'm consistently seeing is that you have a lot of exercise calories it says your burning. May I ask what your using to determine calorie burn? If your using online…

The foods that really get to me are always in the house because I live with three other people. However, what really helped me is everytime I wanted to eat but knew I wasn't really hungry is I just chugged water down my throat. Sometimes I would add lemon or something to it.

My workout schedule is very inconsistent atm so I"m gonna stick with the default method mfp offers. I did order a heart rate monitor, excited to give that a try :) Thank you for giving me all your opinions everyone.
