How do you guys log just a taste?
Hey! So I've been on a 15 day streak with logging and I've run into a little problem... I don't know how to log just a bite or a taste of something. Like yesterday I had a small taste of my nephews chicken. And then I wanted to try to the taste of a new popcorn chip so I had 1. I feel like I should log everything I put…

Thank you Myfitnesspal! (Updated pic)
Myfitnesspal and this board in particular was HUGE in helping me break through my "plateau". I thought because I was almost 40... My metabolism was slowing down and I would just have to live with getting fat and not having my 20's body. While I still don't have my 20's body I am in the best shape of my 30's. I've become a…

Do you guys go through logging cycles?
Hey all! I joined this site about 9 months ago and have had some really good success. Coming to this forum changed my views of what it meant to lose weight. I thought losing weight was supposed to be both torturous and mystical at the same time

Are there really fat burning foods?
Hi guys. I've seen a lot of claims that seem unbiased (no company is pushing it for profit... It seems) about foods that help burn fat and calories. Cayenne pepper being one. Think I've read celery. Since joining MFP (and perusing this board in particular), I understand that it's all about calorie deficit but are there…

TOM question for the ladies
How do you ladies handle pms hunger pangs? The irrational hunger that makes you want want a burger and fries AFTER eating dinner. lol. Does anyone know if it is true that our hunger increases because we are burning more calories during ovulation? I can't remember where I read that. Maybe wishful thinking? Lol. I would love…

Difference between weighing food in grams versus ounces
Hey guys... I'm trying to get the hang of this food weighing thing. I bought a digital scale and lo and behold it only measures lb:oz or fluid oz. Most posts about weighing food seems to reference grams. Should I return the scale or give it a go? Will I lose accuracy with this version?

Question about calorie deficits. How low is too low?
Hi guys, What's a safe deficit regarding MFP's goals? I am allotted 1340 calories a day to lose 1 pound a week. In most cases I am under my goal (I don't mind eating back my exercise calories) and for the most part I am not feeling deprived (a little overzealous, yes... But not deprived) I've seen posts from others who go…

About to go over my calorie budget for the first time!
Hey guys. I'm really new. I've been on a tracking calorie deficit diet (loosely... Haven't gotten to weighing my food yet) for the past week. Since tracking... Today is the first day i'm being totally "bad". I haven't gone over yet... But I will soon. I mean alcohol. Fried foods. All that. Yum. lol. How did you guys handle…
