for example yesterday I had 146 active minutes 21,540 steps and only burned 2142 for the day

I am not trying to get 2100 calorie of exercise just 2100 calorie burn total for the day

Yes , just trying to reach 2100 for the day but having a hard time even with extra activity

Thank you for the very informative replys!

I did not eat my exercise calorie back. I lost almost 60 pounds about 5 years ago using the body bug. Then sadly gained it back over the last couple years so starting over. Just feels like my Fitbit is giving me a low daily burn but maybe it's right. Also I liked seeing my daily deficit on bodybug but unless I'm missing it…

Well according to my Fitbit excersise tracker I burned 650 on the excersise I did. It's almost midnight and I'm still under my goal of 2150 . I have 19838 steps

Ive had the same experience. I lost almost 60 pounds then went gluten free and vegan about two years ago and I have struggled ever since. Im up and miserable. Im not eating alot of processed vegan foods but probably to many carbs ?? It makes no sense really it should be easier now.

I cut out dairy as well and strive to be gluten free and vegan. Its just normal now not really so hard once you get the hang of it.

its easy. You can buy gluten free oats and eat lots of veggies fruit and rice, quinoa stuff like that. Rice cakes or gluten free bread. Not that hard once you get used to it.

I take powdered chlorella powder which is simular I think. I havent noticed any side effects. I also take spirulina powder.

interesting you mention iron and vitamin d . I was takign both because I had hair loss issues and they found out I had a very low iron ( ferritin) so I also was takign both. I had gone from a bad diet to eating very well and no dairy , no gluten At that point I had not gone completly vegan yet so was still eating some…

I had something simular happen after I had lost about 40 pounds or so and had to have my gallbaldder out and ended up in the hospital with pancreatitis . Not sure why but Im thinking the weight loss triggered it ?

I have them but it is pretty much junk food . Lots of processed junk not much real good for you food.

thanks for the info. I wondered when MFP didnt add any potassium so I guess I get more than I thought its just not logging it accuratly.

anyone know if canned pumpkin has any potassium ?

I changed my settings and wow. If its correct I only get about 500-800 a day and it says i should be at 3500 . If my sodium is also much lower then maybe they balance ? I wonder.........ive had dizzyness and extreme fatigue and muscle weakness sometimes but I also have chrones so I just figured that was the way I was but…

ive had mine for almost two years and have never gone a day without it ! Love it . I lost over 50 pounds using it .

great. Thanks

Oddly I seem to burn a very simular amount if Im walking on treadmill, doing zumba, kettlebells or whatever Im always right around 300-350 and hour. Not sure how to get my body to burn more. I walk 20 minutes to the gym and 20 minutes home and burn about 200 doing that .

i would say this is cardio/ kettlebells . Its tough and it does incorporate intervals in it . Must just be me, I dont burn huge amounts of calories no matter what I do.

Im using my bodybugg to see calories burned and its only 250 for an hour of working hard !! I dont burn alot anyway since Im only 5 foot one but still I burn more walking for an hour

nothing compared to what you do kristin ! Let me tell you that kickboxing class was work ! Lots of sweat !

Rigth now with 3 hours left to burn Im at 2698 burned and I ate 1300 so I already have about a 1300 defecit. I dont normally have such a big one but I did and hour of walking plus a zumba and a cardio kickboxing class today .

I lost my weight eating 1100 a day . But If I knew I was going to go over or was really hungry I would excersise more and just made sure I always had a 1000 a day deficit. The bodybugg also showed me how I burned less and less doing the same activitys as I lost weight . The smaller you get the less calories you burn so at…

you know I actually had huge deficits when I was losing well so I never really worried about that I had 1500 to 2000 some days and lost really well. I know they say you shouldnt have more than 1000 a day deficits . When I started listening to people who said eat more have smaller deficits I stopped losing and gained a few…

What I have learned is that I burn much LESS doing zumba and walking etc than I would have thought if I took the amounts listed on web sites. At least this way I know exactly what I personally burn so its worked well for me.

The bodybugg program does not add in excersise calories to eat. It sets burn goal and calorie intake amount and thats it.

love my bodybugg ! Ive lost 50 pounds using it.

this is interesting because i have been having days where I was so so tierd and It was normally a day after I did a hour of walking plus a kettlebells class and a zumba class the day before. I was not eating after about 3 pm so maybe that was a factor. Ill keep better track and see if I see a difference I just wanted to…
