  • To be honest, I wasn't even aware there's a newsfeed. Been on this website since.. 2014 or so? I use it for the forums and for tracking my food intake. Both work for men and women and everyone inbetween. I guess there are better sources for celebrity and other *kitten* news.
  • Help in what way? You still need to lose the weight yourself, or whatever your goal is. Why not start out with the free version and see if there's something you're missing. With Premium logging won't really be easier, and you'd use the same database.
  • I think 16k kJ would be around 3400kcal?
  • Can you also share your current stats? Losing 1kg/week is really possibly for very obese people. It's possible you lost much faster than possibly early on, but part of that is waterweight. You keep on losing weight at a slower rate while the waterweight increases again, basically masking your weightloss.
  • And to add to what the lovely sollyn23I2 said: a calorie deficit still works for PCOS. Maybe your calorie needs are a bit lower, and hence you need to eat less than others at a similar weight, but your body is not holding onto weight.

  • If you want to try something else, see if you can find smoked chicken breast. Here it's mostly available in Polish shops. Works very well in salads or pasta dishes and just needs warming up (or not at all). Today I made some kind of pasta dish with orzo, tomatoes, various vegetables, oregano and saffron, smoked chicken and…

  • But numbers are cool! We love numbers! well, if they work out half ok. My fitbit numbers from way back were crazy. I guess Garmin works better for me, also for most exercises. Walking though is still grossly overstated.
  • For iOS there's Happy Scale and for android ... another app. (I think Happy Scale also exists for Android). No need to go premium.
  • a bit of lemon juice or barberries are great for enhancing the flavour of tomato-based dishes, regardless of pastas, stews or curries. Try to cook your food yourself as lots of ready-made stuff (and especially restaurants) add tons of salt. Also check the nutritional labels of bread, stuff you put on, and all sorts of…

  • Hi there, this is a user forum and users have opinions but still don't know why Underarmor did this. You can contact them directly, but I guess the answer is to make more money. To be honest, I never used it as most database entries I got through scanning were incorrect. Not only obviously incorrect like I scan cheese and…

  • Was this test done by a doctor or a naturopat? Other things not named yet: goats cheese, feta, labne (if made from sheep milk), and of course meat and fish, shellfish.
  • Oh nom! Sauerkraut, and kimchi! I could eat both every day. I also make my own pickles, mostly Asian style ones. Well, if I have enough space in my fridge. I certainly know what's inside, and it ain't preservatives other than salt and vinegar. Note to everyone reading: There's no magic here! Listen to AnnP! ❤️😅 But it's…
  • Wow, congratulations, @SafariGalNYC I also do love fruit and veg, but yeah, due to storage problems I just don't get quite so many. I think this whole thing is just a re-invention of 5 servings per day. Which I'm way over anyway, even with less variability. I'm not sure whether it counts, but I just added a big pickled…

  • Nah, it's just a few days. Do try to drink enough though if you can as dehydration can make headaches worse.
  • It's a thing that's been going on in my group of friends at the moment. There's some explanation here: https://www.theguthealthdoctor.com/30-plant-points It's meant for gut health, a mix of good gut bacteria and challenged digestion or somesuch.

  • Other reasons not mention yet (I think): Patience. Weight loss doesn't happen from one day to another but over a long period of time. Fat loss can be masked by lots of factors that have nothing to do with body fat: wearing different clothes when on the scale, weighing at different times of the day (after getting up vs.…
  • 01.05 2.1km 16min 7:49/km - tired run 2.09km/67km - xkm behind target Checking in for this month. Have not decided on a target yet. Restless, thus running fast while still being jetlagged. I guess I won't be running tomorrow.
  • Many people find fluid food to not be as satiating as solid food because it leaves the stomach quicker. You might be one of them. Or you might need other macros to feel full. Nobody can say. If this is something you see yourself consuming for any reason they try it. If it doesn't work then don't worry: you're not strange…
  • You need to use database entries for either dry or cooked pasta. Dry pasta comes in at around 360kcal per 100gr pasta. Cooked pasta absorbs water and hence the calories per 100gr are lower (but the calories for the pasta is still the same). I would go with dry because the weight of the cooked pasta depends on how long it…

  • Back from holiday in Azerbaijan. Had two runs since then, and am still tired. I now know that a nighttime flight is not for me as just one missed sleep kicks in so badly. But anyway, running is, like every after a break still not good but I hope things will be better tomorrow.
  • You've just joined, haven't you? For how long have you been trying to lose weight, and for how long are you tracking your food intake? How are you tracking?

  • Neither in the free nor in the paid version can you add steps. You can link a fitness tracker if you have a supported device. If you want to log steps related to your everyday activity outside of exercise you do this via your activity level. If you have less than 5000 steps per day (I think) you're sedentary, more than 20k…
