You could go by breathing and how many steps you make per inhale and exhale. Increase your speed until you need to breathe more often. Or go with speaking. If you can still speak a whole sentence coherently then run faster until your sentences get shorter. This might be something to go by:…

She could do with chicken breast though: 25g of protein per 100gr approximately. So that's about 900gr of chicken breast per day. Leaves a few calories for cooking oil and a few pieces of fruits or veg. 🤢 TO, can you tell us a bit more about your current diet, where this insane number of protein comes from (the farts!) and…

Home cooking! Use lots of spices if you can. Salt enhances flavour, but for some food, citrussy tastes do the same. I always throw a small handful of barberries in tomato based pasta sauces. A bit of lemon juice (ready-made) does wonders in many stews.

Well, it was my phone. I forgot to charge my watch and it didn't have enough juice left for running.

You need to do for your health what works best for you. Forget any fasts if it makes you miserable. On that note, some people with reflux do benefit from more smaller meals across the day instead of eating a lot within a small eating window. Do what works for you.

By looking at what your weight is doing. Weightloss or gain is slow. Thus if you collect data over 4 weeks the world won't end. Eat your calories, eat some exercise calories or whatever method you chose to lose/gain. Then look at the end of the 4 weeks what your weight is doing. Losing faster than expected? Eat more.…

With your unsaturated fats: in which country is this information available on food labels? I just checked random products in the US and UK, for example McCain fries, Netherlands and Germany (other oven fries), and it's not there. So why should information that is not available on nutritional labels be available to be…
-
With regards to salt: Whether salt or sodium is listed on food labels depends on the country. In all European countries I've ever lived it's salt. In the US it mainly seems to be sodium, and as MFP is largely a US website I guess it kind of makes sense. Though results in some seriously wrong database entries here and…

Enby, but on T and top surgery planned. Well, currently not on T anymore because it gave me a very low blood pressure for some reason. I don't do friends though. Sorry.

Why not try and eat half of them back? Exercise calories are often grossly exaggerated. But at the same time you won't reach your chosen weightloss goal anyway. 1200 means you want too much too quickly and MFP defaults to this number to make sure you get enough nutrition. Exercising on top is similar to eaten even less and…

How much protein are you aiming for, and what are your current stats? What kind of exercise are you doing? It's possible you're already getting plenty protein. If you're very heavy then the numbers for protein given here can be very exaggerated. Also some trainers seem to think 200gr protein is a must.

If you're using MFP then you're supposed to eat back the calories you burn during exercise as otherwise your weightloss goal would suddenly be higher. Or said otherwise: Say you run 5km and burn something like 300kcal. If you don't eat this back then it's pretty much the same as not exercising but only eating 1150…

this is a very old thread. Why not start your own? But yeah, what's wrong with eating 1/4c of quinoa? There's nothing wrong with any type of food. As this is a weightloss website/app I'll answer for weightloss. In order to reach it you just need to eat less calories than your body needs to stay on weight. That's all. No…

You know that feeling: You want to post something on MFP, and the moment you hit POST the website goes offline and you feel like you destroyed it 🤣 05.03 4.5km 36min 8:06/km - 12 stride repeats 06.03 6.2km 51min 8:12/km - 10, 5, 5, 5min intervals 08.03 7.0km 57min 8:09/km - slow 09.03 3.0km 25min 8:26/km - slow 11.03 4.2km…

Haha, yes! I'm not sure what 10 types of tea (which I do have) would do for gut health, or a massive amount of spices and herbs. Would still be a stretch. But anyway, I think my diet is fairly healthy overall.
-
I agree with you there. I mean, I could easily fill up 10 of those 40 with 10 different types of potatoes but that's pretty much all there is on local food. Plus, buying so many different veg would likely mean a massive amount of food wastage. On the other hand, it might reduce the amount of meat consumed (huge water…

If you ate 20 calories over your goal for one month then your weightloss will be reduced for that month by approximately 0.17lbs. That's nothing and totally in line with individual variations.

Garmin has a water function where your water goal gets higher the longer you exercise I think. I don't care. As long as the pee is clear you're hydrated enough.

They edited their comment after I replied. Reported as well.

Why is water weight a problem? It will eventually drop off again. Weight fluctuates constantly anyway, due to salt, hormone variations, food in transit, just drinking a glass of water will increase your weight temporarily to the weight of the water you just drank. So don't sweat it and enjoy.

@antoniacassti This is an old ghost thread and the person you reply to might not be here anymore. MFP works differently than other websites: activity level is the activity you do day to day without exercise. If you sit all day and you don't do lots of house chores you're likely sendentary. But exercises are logged…

Hi there. You're a nurse. Consider bodies to hold all sorts of things besides muscle and fat and blood. Fluctuations in water weight due to thousands of reasons including various points in menstrual cycle or eating more salt, more food in your intestines, weighting fasting or after meals or drinks, even the clothes you…

Aww, thanks hun <3 I hope something will come out of it. Not looking forward to it because they don't numb the muscle I think, but still looking forward to it. Plus I'll spend the whole day on the day of the procedure on a hotel bed with a bag of crisps and some shows on my computer as I won't be able to move 😅
-
Basically sad: I thought I could get to 10km. But in about 2.5 weeks I'll have a muscle biopsy taken in my tight to finally figure out why exercise is so difficult for me. That basically means no exercise for a bit until the incision is healed. Sigh. This time my calendar prevented me from getting to 10k.
