WEIGHING FOOD PROPERLY!!!
Do you guys weigh your food b4 or after you cook it? Since meat holds a lot of water before you cook it, it's going to weigh more than when cooked so do we go off the calorie count for that weight when it's heavy with water or after it's cooked? I been weighing it before I cook it but I noticed when I weighed it after it…

PROPER WAY OF WEIGHING YOURSELF
okay so first off I would like to mention: I know it's bad but I know my sodium is quite high b/c I season a lot of foods and some things I eat in recipes contain sodium. I am aware that sodium causes water retention as well. Because of all this when I get on the scale I never know what is my correct weight. It fluctuates…

What you thinking about intermittent fasting?
I have been reading up on this all night and I am thinking about trying it out this weekend. basically you fast for 16 to 20 hours and then eat your daily calorie during the 4-8 timeframe and exercise during the fast part of the day. Do you all know anyone who done it? What are your thoughts?

Weight staying the same?
I have been weighing myself every day just to see how my weight flunctuates through the days and every since sunday I have been the exact same weight all the way down to the decimal! my sodium intake is pretty high most days (which I know is bad) but I expect for that to make me have water weight and make the scale go up,…

3500 CALORIES CLARIFICATION ?
So I know 3500 equals a lb. Saturday i had a mega cheat day and ate about 3500 cals in total which made me about 2240 over my goal for the day....do you gain weight if you 3500 over your maintenance goal or if you just eat 3500 cals a day period? My mainenance goal is 2240 I think....

My calorie deficit is 1280 a day...when i calculated my maintenance goal on here it was 2280...so does that mean any time i go over my calorie deficit (1200) but stay under my mainenance goal (2280) that means I won't gain weight??
