There's a recipe section under FOOD where you can add in all the ingredients to a recipe and it will give you the total per serving. Or you can add each item individually in your food diary.

Weighing & measuring food isn't a big stretch for me since I cooked & baked often before I started MFP. What I'm weighing for is what has changed but it's no more difficult than it has been. If anything, it's helping me to gain an understanding of what a "serving size" of an item is, which helps when I don't have a scale.

This is awesome motivation to those of us starting on the path to a healthier life. I've also been trying to read about health & nutrition to understand how all of these things affect your body. Everything from super foods, veggies, how your heart rate is related to calorie burn, etc. It's all been very informative and…

So glad I found this. It was getting confusing and things not being explained clearly in some discussions I was reading. This makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE!! Thank you!

I understand what you are saying but what is throwing me is why the calorie goal is not the NET calorie goal. The previous poster said that the 1522 is not the NET goal. Is that incorrect? I just want to make sure I am understanding this correctly: Total calorie intake should be 1522 regardless of what I do for the day, no…
-
And that's the question I've been trying to get answered that no one had replied to so thank you. But it also doesn't make sense this wouldn't be the NET calories in the MFP app. Goal of 1522 Let's say I ate 1500 cals for the day Work out burn of 250 cal You have a net of 1250 which is below my BMR which doesn't seem…

Understood about the estimates. I just need a starting point and targets to try to get on track. My current goal is 30lb so I'm not sure if that's considered aggressive? So as long as my NET calories are say between 1500-1600/day to establish a pattern, I should be ok. I think I understand that correctly. lol.

Thanks mandamerlot. I forgot to add in my post that I did calculate to reduce TDEE by 20%. I used fat2fit.com to calculate the following: BMR (Katch McArdle) - 1381 Lightly Active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk) - 1902 So... 1902 - 20% = 1522 So 1522 should be my NET caloric goal including calories burned from…
-
To add to that question, once you've found your BMR and TDEE, where does this info go? Is your TDEE on the app the net goal with exercise calories burned? Or is this the goal despite workouts?

Love all the new friend adds I've made today :)

I'm 5'3" and the lightest I'v weighed as an adult was 108. I personally felt I looked a little sickly at that weight. I liked the 120-125lb range with muscle...oh boy that was a long time ago! lol. I am 38 now and my goal weight is 140. Once I get there, I'll see about losing more if I feel it's right for me.
-
My main reason is that I just want to be able to look in the mirror and feel good about myself...but there's a lot that goes into that. The first is purely physical, as it is with many of us. I want to wear that smokin' hot dress or that bathing suit and not feel like a beached whale trapped in a contraption. lol. Don't…

Hi alexxcvzs! I'm new as well and looking for the same :) Will add you.

HI there! I've just recently joined and trying to get to a healthier and leaner me. I'd love to add you all as well. I've really packed on the weight over the past 6 years and I really want to get back in shape. I love to cook so I'm trying to work on healthy recipes (not diet recipes) that I can share if that helps :)
