How much does waking actually burn?
I'm 5"10 170 male and walked roughly 7 miles today according to mapmywalk. I took the numbers it imported into mfp and divided by 2. So I have like 350 exercise calories in MFP. Does that sound about right?

There has to be a way without me going insane
So I'm kind of a control freak. I lost weight really easily because it was fun. Well now that i'm just trying to stay the same weight it's not really fun anymore it's just a chore. I don't want to log forever because i find it leads to me eating more (because i can) and sucks the fun out of trying new stuff (because who…

Accurately Gauging Calories Burned Through Exercise?
I like to eat and I don't want to cheat myself out of extra calories. But I also don't want to go overboard and consume too much. I don't know how accurate fitness trackers can actually be?

Calorie adjustment way over estimated?
Just got my charge HR and this is my very first full day wearing it. I am 5"10 170ish male and put it 11k steps today. It's awarded me about 700 extra calories. Before I had a garmin device and it would only reward me about 200 or so calories on a regular day but, that didn't factor in the heart rate. I'm not sure why i…

How exactly does the adjustment work?
I got my charge hr in the mail today. Since i fully charged it and started using it in the last couple hours i put on 6500 steps and it awarded me 200 extra calories. Is it kinda assuming i would keep this pace up all day?

I need a plan that doesn't involve logging
I've lost about 75 pounds in the last 10 months or so. I have always had somewhat of an obsessive personality but, i have kinda gotten carried away lately. For sanity sake i need to stop logging eventually. I also don't want to gain it all back either though so I need a plan. I think I can live with weighing daily and…

Maintenance Plan?
I'm taking the the month of June off of weight loss and don't want to log. I'm thinking of weighing in every morning to keep myself honest and spot upwards trendds before it gets out of hand. Anyone do this long term? It seems like a decent compromise

Mapmywalk vs Vivofit adjustments?
I just did a walk with a very cheap ebay HRM that someone sent me instead of just the strap. I used mapmywalk which uses gps to well map your walk and other factors. I'm curious if these stats seem reasonable for a 172 pound man at 5"10? Also has anyone paired mapmywalk with MFP and how does it work in comparison to…

Protein Powder for Non Body Builders?
I am trying to get overall healthier and save money at same time. I can get a month and a half supply of protein powder for like $25 and it has about as much fiber as metamucil and 25% of iron which I usually fall short on. Is there any real downside to doing this over eating a chicken breast or something? If I str it in…

Is it possible to gain muscle eating at a deficit?
I'm 5" 10 175 but a fat 175. I have a bad shoulder and back and I'm only 28. I don't want to deal with theae problems forever and thinking that building up muscle might not only help relieve them but make me look good.

Slow Down Towards the End?
I'm 5"10 and and 175. I still have plenty of room for improvement with my beer gut and thighs but, at the same time i'm starting to feel too restricted by my diet and quite frankly i want more.

Can I eat yesterdays calories today?
Just curious if the end results are the same? Yesterday i rode my exercise bike for half hour and put it down as half of what mfp predicts and walked about 15000 steps over the course of the day and left calories on the table. Now today I'm almost out and really feel like treating myself a bit.

Push Through or Break?
Getting a little burned out after doing this for about 7 months. Still have room for improvement but lack the motivation. Thinking of doing maintenance until may 1st and then seeing if I can lose the last 10 or so by June 1st through a different method like intermittent fasting to change things up. Did anyone decide to…

On the homestretch but, lack motivation to continue
I'm 5"10 179 and 174 would be the high end of normal bmi. I would like to be able to weigh 174 fully clothed for insurance reasons when I get my anual checkup that gives me a discount based on certain factors. But, I'm finding myself lacking the motivation to go much longer. But, I feel like if I give up now like it would…

Any beer drinkers?
Anyone partake in craft beer while on a diet? I am drinking a bomber of hop stoopid right now and apparently that's like 430 calories. I'm on a 1600 or so calorie budget and it fits almost perfectly. Probably not a good idea to do too often though right?
