It's one day out of 365. Spend time with the family and get back on track the next day. If it bothers you that much, just quick add an insane number and get on to nomming on deliciousness.

White bread/dinner rolls - I'd rather have a pop tart.

I use them in place of vermicelli/glass/cellophane/mung bean noodles or as a tofu-type ingredient - mostly for packaging convenience, not because of the calories. If you want to sub out spaghetti, go in the zucchini/spaghetti squash direction - shirataki/konjac/yam can't take the place of a wheat (or grain...) based noodle.

Try again and aim to undercook. If it doesn't strand properly when you scrape, put it back in for more time.

I second this. I use MFP as the primary source for logging food and exercise. At the end of the day, the fitbit feed ends up being a single exercise line item logged into MFP. I haven't got a clue whether my calorie target in MFP is accurate on its own, but I know that combined with the fitbit correction factor*, it's…

<25 cal drinks - Water, coffee/espreso, tea I'll leave out most salt-free spices.

Crispy/Fried chicken wings, w/sauce - 150 per wing And on the other end, cucumbers/cauliflower/squash

Raw, with chili powder and lemon.

Nope, it's on personalized - I suspect the wild fluctuations are because my activity level is wildly inconsistent - always 10k steps, but anywhere from 600 to 1500 kcal additional daily cardio activity, almost all of which happens after 8-9pm. *edit* I should note, I have mine on personalized because I was experimenting…

Mine fluctuates all day long - the negative adjustment shows me several hundred calories 'behind' every morning. On workdays it catches up by the time I finish my commute. Over the course of the day, the negative adjustment will increase until I finish the reverse commute and/or log in cardio exercises. In a sense, the…

~$70 per month at New York Sports Club, any location any time.

Fitbit reflects estimated BMR +/- stepcount calorie burn, but the BMR is about as accurate as MFP's - which means it's ballpark at best. Any adjustment the sync does will be against MFP's estimate BMR, adding a second level of imprecision. The safest thing to do (and unfortunately time-consuming) is to set both to…

In the US it's probably 0.970 lbs. Aren't the units labeled? You can also tell by working backwards off the price - $/weight should match the rate. If that's mangled, it's mostly safe to ballpark estimate a piece of meat that's the size of a deck of cards as 4 oz. Is that really that accurate? No. but it'll be within an…

I like acid, so I go heavy on apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, or balsamic as the base. - Add TruLemon/Lime/Orange/LemonPepper/OrangeGinger for a hit of citrus - Grind pepper/garlic/onion/chili/mustard seed, celery seed, or horseradish/wasabi powder for heat. Sweetener to taste There's no calories above, but...…

Both. Gym for variety of equipment and the environment, running and bodyweight exercises at home.

I'm even lazier and more impatient than that. 10g cacao 10g sweetener (i'm using truvia baking blend) 3T liquid egg white Stir until combined. 30 second nuke, stir, 15-20 more seconds 93 kcal 11 carb 1 fat 7 protein 0 sugar 75 sodium If using truvia instead of truvia baking blend, take out 25 kcal and 5 carb Found the link…

I found that the treadmill/running app, fitbit, and MFP all disagree. As a general rule, if it's within 10-15%, I use the most conservative (lowest) burn number to give myself the least eat-back flexibility.

Take a look at your hydration and micronutrients, I don't recall getting headaches from a caloric deficit, but plenty from caffeine and hydration issues. Check with a doctor if it persists.

1. Sedentary. 2. Only cardio. Lifting is too hard to estimate. 3. It's ballpark accurate. Close enough to eat back. Everyone has a unique TDEE/BMR, so you'll need to tweak calorie targets over time.

I eat back, but based on using negative adjustment and tweaking to my MFP net calorie target. Most of the steps and calories the fitbit measures are overwritten by what I log into MFP off cardio machines (and then gets synced back into fitbit). When I go for a walk or run, the calorie adjustment seems fairly accurate.

600-650 by some estimates - just search Google. I don't know if that counts as 'burn' so much as healing or replenishment

I made a variation of this this past weekend to combat a high sodium dinner out. I slow cooked it for 6 1/2 hours on low in my 3 qt crock pot overnight, but you could get done in under an hour (not including bean prep). http://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/2014/02/butternut-squash-chickpea-lentil-moroccan-stew/ The variation…

I reserve granola for circumstances when I need calorie or energy dense foods and space/weight are at a premium - for example, backpacking or hiking. There are almost always better options for a quick bite at home.

For dry goods it's fairly close. For breathable containers, it really depends. Humidity and condesnation can add a good 10%, but evaporation can drop a good 10% too.

Use it in equivalent amounts in place of other oil.

If it's truly painful (in a bad way) you might want to set up one session - just one - with an orthopedist, physical therapist, or trainer to make sure you don't have any underlying issues and to confirm that your movement form is appropriate.
