  • Calories in, calories out are all that matter. Literally speaking, yes. But in application, our methods of being able to measure our intake and output are not perfect enough for this to be all that matters. I believe foods affect our metabolic health. Many of us have poor metabolic health. I'm sorry, but eating 1800…
    in What commonly given MFP Forum advice do you personally disagree with? Comment by erikayblue December 2018
  • running/walking on the treadmill does not burn the same number of calories as running/walking at the same speed on the ground. Not even close enough to use one for the other. When I walk on the ground at the same pace as compared to the treadmill, my body is way more stressed. The treadmill does part of the work for you.…
    in Treadmill not found in the exercises database in MFP Comment by erikayblue December 2018
  • Howdy, friend! I know I'm just about as early in this as you, but I think us sticking together will help a LOT. Maybe we should do even more together even though it's hard with our schedules. Like pre-making our meals for the next day together. Getting 10,000 steps in on a workday is great, certainly don't stop that, but…

  • For a 220 lb guy, but we don't know the weight of the person walking. If the guy is 400 lbs it's going to be really high. We really don't know enough information about this guy to say one way or the other.
    in MyFitnessPal realllllly over estimates on calories.. Comment by erikayblue March 2014
  • Why is everyone all over this guy for his calories? It shows he has lost over 50 lbs, so if he was starving and not "fueling enough for his next workout," wouldn't he have noticed being depleted by now? It sounds like he has had MANY "next workouts" already. I would normally say 1350 is too low too, but if it's working for…

  • in Orthorexia Nervosa: the new eating disorder Comment by erikayblue March 2014
  • Yeah, I agree that the difference is the mindset and whether or not what you're doing makes sense. Mental disorders often make people more likely to do things that don't make actual sense out of fear. For instance, let's say you were on vacation for 2 weeks in a country that does not have very much organic produce…
