I am running about 30-35 miles per week, with my long runs in the range of 10-14 right now. I pace 8:30…

FitBit Charge HR
Hi There, I have the Charge HR (and I love it). Question. I wore it all day and recorded 21K steps. 8K of those steps were during a 4.5 mile run. I used the exercise option for those 43 minutes. Do I add in those calories to MFP as well? I have the steps auto sync. If I don't. MFP is telling me I expending 2,000 calories,…

Skiing
How many of you downhill ski? If you do, do you use straight skis or the hourglass shape? I skied for 4 days (mostly blue, and few black) on 18 year old straight skis. Seemed like a good workout- sore legs and lots of sweat. But when I got home, I gained 1.5lbs. I ate about 200 below maintenance but figured the skiing was…

Marathon/Triathlon Training vs. Caloric Deficit
Hi There, I have my first triathlon of the season in May, and I am running a marathon in mid July. I am currently 131 pounds down 10 from 141.

Double Digits
On December 1, I weighed in at 141.2lbs, today I weighed in at 131 even. 41 days, 10.2 pounds. I did this without any fancy plan, while eating sugar, artificial sweeteners, dairy, bananas, wheat, soy, and all the other foods we are told to not consume in order to eat clean. I run about 15 miles per week and ride my bike…

Sick
I think I'm coming down with strep- I have all the symptoms. Does anyone else become super hungry when they are getting sick? Ate an extra 120 calories today and my tummy is still grumbling.

Lost 5.3lbs in 14 days.
Hi There, Age 29, Female, 5'4". Active lifestyle, always on my feet but I don't add my exercise calories into MFP; instead, I set my lifestyle to active. On Dec 2, I weighed in at 140.9. Today, I am 135.6 (yay). Is it OK to drop over 5lbs in two weeks? I've been eating about 1300-1400 calories per day. I am not overweight:…

Can't #2
Hi There, On day 10 of calorie restriction. I'm 29, F, 5'4", 137 lbs. I've reduced my calories to 1300-1400 per day. I've been hitting my macros pretty well and have been meeting my fiber goal of 25g/day or more. But I haven't pooped in almost a week (Dec 5). I don't feel full or bloated, but I would like to go- I'm…

Weighing Food
Hi There! When you weigh fruits or veggies, to you weigh the part you are going to eat, or the whole fruit/vegetable first? I know it doesn't matter for most veggies, but I'm concerned more or less about avocados. Mine was 298 whole, only got about 200g of "flesh". I didn't know if the caloric info on here reflects a…
