Ignore whatever the threadmill says. It's just an educated guess. There's no way a machine could know how much glycogen and fatty acids your body uses without an analysis of the air you inhale and exhale. And even the average exercise test with all this only approximates via the RER. It's not direct calorimetry though and…

Yeah, ok: buying water is wasteful. I get it. I mostly drink tap water. But if I live in an area where there's chlorine added, or the water is very salty then I pass. In an area with water from a desalination plant then I do mix bottled water to tap water because the tap water lacks pretty much everything, while in at…

I get you! i wish I could do everything myself, but a) time and b) I live alone and there's no way I can make condiments and sauces that will stay fresh for long enough until I've eaten them all. Apart from pickled things. But considering I use very little condiments overall (apart from sambal, kecap manis and a few other…

There's nothing wrong with store bought sauces and dressings. Just make sure they fit into your calorie allowance. Whether that means eating less of other food, using less of it or less frequently while you learn to make your own doesn't matter.

Are we talking about fat or muscles? If it's far then yeah, you'll lose weight as your weight goes down. Where it will go down first depends on genetics, but sod's law does apply: it will happen last where you most want it to happen 🤣

And don't forget that everything you eat that has some inbuild fluid also counts, including fruit and veg, yogurt and so many other things contain fluids as well.

Everything that mtaratoot said. Plus also build in rest days. Getting stronger happens in the breaks between workouts, plus your body will need it.

@quilteryoyo I have no idea when I'll get results. Discussion is at the end of May. I think they took a sample for microscopy and one for metabolic testing or something like that. They took two anyway, and I should have asked. the first part should probably be very quick. So lets see. If there's one specific result that…

Hi runners. All went well with the small surgery. Have a 4cm incision in my leg, a bit less leg muscle now and have hardly any pain. Only the local anesthetic stopped working once I'd left the hospital and was waiting at the bus stop. As usual. That was pretty much 15 minutes after the surgeon was finished, btw. 🤣 Shame I…

Thanks :) Unfortunately a single item. Had dinner in a hotel room once from this bowl. Went to my work the next day, had dinner around there, returned to hotel, packed stuff, left next morning. Back home I found the bowl, cleaned and all in my suitcase. 😅 I can't even...

About 300gr veg, chicken breast marinated in spices, sambal, yogurt and honey, few tomatoes in oil, and couscous. Served with a big dollop of spiced skyr. Good amount of fibre and 42gr of protein. Rather very low fat if it wasn't for the tomatoes in oil.

I prepare chicken in so many ways: Small pieces fried in a wok/pan, chicken thighs or breast cooked in convection/microwave oven (small cuts on the top help a bit, also for more surface area for marinade), thrown whole breast or thigh, or in pieces into a soup or stew and cooked to bits, chicken mince balls, put chicken…

5lbs per month is not slow.

No idea what's going on. But it's possible that your tracker accidentally tracked steps during the bike workout, and hence you'd be double dipping them. On that note: the calories for your bike workout look extremely exaggerated unless you did a race in the super high wattage range. Thus I'd be careful with this super high…

Don't log the exercise then. Or if you've paired a tracker then unpair it again.

Do something that you enjoy doing and not something that you feel you should be doing. Are you slightly competitive? Try to find something where you can celebrate improvements. Do you enjoy being among others? Maybe a team sport. Enjoy being alone, maybe taking photos, watching animals? Go hiking out of town.

For cooked meals i use normal plastic containers. My freezer space is limited and those take up a minimum of space. Perfect. For non-cooked food items I use small ziplock bags for freezers. Or for several of the same I might portion it, put it in plastic bags and then all together in a ziplock. Not great, because I hate…

Hi there and welcome. I think asking the same question once is sufficient. People have lives too and not always time to check the forum to answer voluntarily. Basically, the calories MFP gives you are based on your current stats and weightloss goal. They include everyday chores but not exercise. That means you're supposed…

Yeah, so in iOS if I am at an empty Breakfast for example I can move my finger right to copy everything directly from the previous day. If I already have food in say Breakfast, and I move the finger left I can delete a single food item.

Yeah, in iOS. There's also dots and then I can copy food from or to a date, and from say dinner to breakfast. But the swiping is super nice to have.

You can also simply swipe right and add the food from the previous day in the app. It also says so on the diary screen. No need to create a meal. Just copy from the previous day.

I never sit in one position for long. Cross legged, one leg on chair, chair otherway around, one leg on table (don't ask). But more seriously, I exercise after work on 4-5 days per week. Gives me plenty of exercise and movement. Plus I live in Europe and walk or cycle to most errands.

what annoys me most are entries per serving or cup. Or worse: some random amount someone thought would be useful for them, but then they shared it with everyone. Like 73gr from a 400gr tin of soup.

The scanner doesn't help though because it pulls up one single database entry that might be as wrong as the first 5 entries when searching by hand. The 6th might then be the right one. Which you'd not get with the scanner.

Yeah, this! I find I can edit some entries, but not others. Has also nothing to do with the green check mark. This basically means I'll make a new entry in the database, basically bloating it up even more, or use an entry that is somewhat similar but not quite.
