Hello Everyone
Just wanted to say Hi and share my experience with MFP. I've lost 56lbs in 330 days :) This was way more than I expected to lose at the start.

"Cheat" Food While Maintaining
So how do cheat meals or cheat days change when maintaining weight instead of losing weight? While on my diet I felt like i earned my cheat food by running and that as long as I stayed under my diet budget I would be fine. So even on cheat days I tracked calories and didn't eat more than MFP told me. The calorie deficit…
