During the week its 2 pieces of sausage-usually turkey and "natural", some tomato and avocado, more if I'm more hungry, less if I'm not, or leftovers from the night before. I don't eat breakfast on the weekend, I usually eat a brunch type meal after I work out.

I don't know how to change it!!! but I'll look into it. Thank you

My husband cooks. And he's OCD about weighing every thing
-
Thank you for all of your help. I didn't think weighing--or not weighing--vegetables would make a difference. I do have 2 first degree relatives with eating disorder histories so I'm being mindful of that with regard to weighing everything I consume. Have a good weekend everyone
-
That Is true. Thank you
-
Thank you. I didn't realize the quote thing was messed up/ I'm just confused as to how I'm eating too many carbs when my carb macro on MFP is 22%, and how I'm supposed to know if an entry is wrong.
-
Thank you. I said I've seen it.
-
I'd also add that some of your entries are probably not totally accurate. 75 grams of avocado is not 85 calories. That is possible but how do I know which entries are accurate? Get yourself a food scale, weigh all solids, including veg and fruit, measure all liquids. Again, I have one. I didn't think I ate enough…

I actually do, or I use the nutritional info on the package. For example when I buy almonds I measure out 1 oz portions into bags. Do I measure the tomato I eat every morning? No. Do I weigh the avocado? Yes.

I use the builder for recipes. I use a scale for fat, protein and the occasional chips, cups for salads and fruit. The last incomplete day, aside from today is NYE and last Friday. Not sure what happened that day.
-
Car macros are at 22% for the 4 weeks. All recipes are using the builder. I don't cook so I don't nibble. And the body fat was done in the bod pod so I trust that it is accurate.

I'm on 1200 calories. Today for lunch I had 1/2 a portion of beef brisket without the bread, a salad and half an order of fries. Met my goals and my cravings.

If you got that many steps unintentionally maybe you need to set it at a different place? That doesn't sound sedentary to me. YMMV

I want to: run a sub 36 minute 5K-started running last year, former smoker rock my 1/2 marathon in April get my body fat at 25%-I'm 53 and started at 38% get my waist to 28"-started at 35, currently at 31

Perhaps not in your life, but in my workplace. "Puts too much pressure on us" "I can never do as much/well as them so screw it" "I don't want people to know what I do"
-
I absolutely believe in the Hawthorne Effect--that people work harder when others are watching--therefore competitions in the workplace, having friends on FitBit and MFP make people reach their fitness goals faster.

Also the Spelling Bee

My husband, who does all the cooking, does his mis en place onto a paper plate on the scale.

They had cinnamon Pepsi here not long ago. We-Columbus, Ohio-seem to be the test market for the US tho

I have Map My Run. It only syncs one so you don't double dip calories burned

5'3, weigh 146 I wear an 8 usually but a 6 in some vanity jeans --Michael Kohrs for example
-
Usually I go where there is room. Did the gym give you a tour, a time to ask questions? They should. Oh and enjoy the gym!
-
You just answered my question!!
-
I am about to be 53, been running for less than a year, and am a former longtime smoker--quit 2/16. I'm also exceedingly slow. My PR for a 5K is 37.04 and I'm consistently at 38.00. I did 6 5K's this summer, a quarter and a 15K. I'm doing a half in the spring. Friends who have run for a while say my speed will improve. I'm…
-
Let me preface this by saying that I am not a trainer or a nutritionist, and I have only been working out for about a year and a half. I also don't eat my exercise calories unless I am dying. In my opinion the non-heart rate fit bit is not very accurate. If it's picking up, say half an hour of activity over the course of…

You can add me.

Look at it this way: if you dropped an egg on the floor and broke it would you throw the rest of them down, or would you clean it up and go on?
