Calories getting very confused

Normally Fitbit/myfitness pal dials this back to what they think I earned. so I do normally end up with a negative adjustment from…

I've always used my trusty Hybrid bike for all my cycling but this year I treated myself to a nice Road bike, because I always struggled keeping up with the lads on road bikes. I've been riding the new bike for about 3…

Protien, Carbs and Fat don't add up to Calorie total on MFP ??
The general understanding is that 1g of fat = 9cals, 1g of Protien or Carbs = 4 cals. In this case your Cal total should add up using the following. (Fat(g) * 9) + (Carb(g) * 4) + (Protein(g) * 4) = Calorie total. However mine doesn't. Yesterday I ate... 137(c) 53(f) 111(p) and it records my total calories as 1,677 However…

I'm better than this!!
About 10 years ago I was in a similar position as I am now, but not quite as heavy. I faffed around for a bit but I started to make REAL progress when I stopped thinking about things as a 'diet' but as a lifestyle change. I stopped shooting for some crazy deficit, ate maintenance, ate good food and worked out smart. I…

However there was a feature on the other site this one doesn't have so im wondering now people control it. On my old…
