Body fat analyzers
I was wondering what everyone's thoughts on body fat analyzers were. I'd like to lose fat while continuing to build strength, so I figured a body fat analyzers would track progress better than a traditional scale. Does anyone have any recommendations as to which BFA I should buy (looking for consistency and hoping to spend…

Target weight gain
I'm helping a friend with her nutrition as she tries to gain some weight. I told her she can't really control where she gains the weight unless she does strength training her targeted weight gain area (butt and legs). I just want to make sure I wasn't misleading her. Can anyone verify my info or provide other helpful…

Scales: digital vs. analog
I weighed myself Tuesday morning on a digital scale. It said I was up from 114.4-117.4, which is understandable after 2 thanksgiving dinners, desserts, and parties. I was likely holding some water weight and a little extra fat from so much overeating. However, I got back on track Tuesday and, out of curiosity, weighed…

Pumpkin and applesauce?
So the impulse buys of the week were a can of pumpkin and a container of applesauce; I guess I was really feeling this fall weather! Does anyone have any healthy/low calorie recipes that uses either (or both!) of these?

Birthdays?
Hey guys! I was wondering what your thoughts on birthdays were? Mine is coming up in a couple weeks and I can't decide if I should just treat myself and go crazy with a delicious dinner and sinful cake, or try to be moderate with a delicious (but "clean) dinner and only one slice of cake (if not a healthier dessert…

MFP 5 week weight prediction
So I went over my calories by about 150 todayand when I completed the diary, MFP projected that I would gain ~0.3 pounds (from 113.4-113.7) in 5 weeks if I continued to eat that amount of calories on a daily basis. I know this isn't much of a gain, but it's just a bit concerning since my calorie goal today was 1450 so…

Effects of over restriction/undereating
So I think most of us can agree that "starvation mode" is generally not what our bodies are susceptible to when we strictly diet or undereat. But what exactly does happen to our bodies if we restrict calories too much (like less than 1000-1200 for a woman)?

5'2" female
Just wondering what other 5'0"-5'2" females' goals are and what your daily calorie/macro intake is looking like. I'm not sure what my maintenance is or whether my metabolism has slowed at all within the last year or so (online calculators haven't seemed extremely accurate to me as of late and I'm wondering if this could be…

calorie intake?
I cannot figure out what my calories to maintain (or lose) would be. I've tried online calculators but nothing really has worked. I'm currently eating about 1400-1500cals per day, and I've slowly gained weight over the last couple of weeks (about a pound). I'm 5'1.5", 115lbs, and exercise quite a bit. I run 4mi 4 days a…

Starvation mode
I see a lot of comments along the lines of "that's not how starvation mode works". Could anyone explain how it actually does work? Thanks!
